Abstract
Apparatus and method are disclosed in connection with the separating, dispensing, and application of a plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs), having substantially L-shaped configurations, which are arranged within a collated nested array upon a single release liner. Portions of the release liner are folded between successive ones of the pavement markers such that when the folded portions of the release sheet are unfolded in conjunction with the dispensing of a leading one of the pavement markers, the release liner is routed around a stripper plate and the temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) are effectively stripped from the release liner, deposited upon the pavement surface, and an application wheel affixes the temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) to the pavement surface.
