20080283809 | Ball game fence system - A fence system for quickly establishing an outfield fence and possibly a back stop for a ball game uses a series of bases with a post receivable within each base. A section of tarp extends between adjacent posts such that clips are attached to each corner of the tarp and two clips at an end of the tarp are attached to a post. The clips are received within slots at the top and bottom of each post with the top capped to prevent clip discharge. Bulbous ends of the clip prevent lateral discharge of the clip from the slot. Alternately, a single section of tarp is removably attachable to each end post via cooperating hook and loop material with the tarp passing through slots on interior posts. An end brace may be used to stabilize end posts of the fence as well as to act as a visual aid for determining what constitutes a foul ball. | 11-20-2008 |
20120211712 | ROCKFALL PROTECTION SYSTEM - A rockfall protection system may include a plurality of supports that each have a support head, along with a catch net, an upper support cable guiding an upper edge of the catch net at the support heads, and an upper central cable and a lower central cable guiding the catch net in a central support area of the supports. The lower central cable may be tensioned using side anchors provided with at least one braking element. The system may also include a lower support cable guiding a lower edge of the catch net and being guided together with the lower edge of the catch net on the downhill side of and separated from the supports. The braking element may be connected to the side anchor and to the central cable by a cable loop. The side anchor and central cable may be connected via a predetermined breaking point. | 08-23-2012 |
20140054527 | MULTIPURPOSE SEASONAL SPORT SAFETY FENCE - A fence that bounds the outfield of a game played with bat and ball comprises a plurality of mesh panels suspended from a plurality of support posts, with foul posts at either end. The fence can be readily assembled and disassembled. The support posts' anchors can be covered when the fence is disassembled, so that the field is usable for other sports. The function of the fence is twofold: (1) to minimize injury to a player who runs into the fence and (2) to confine such a player within the field of play should the player impact the fence. | 02-27-2014 |
20150123062 | SAFETY BARRIER SYSTEM - A safety barrier system is a visual barrier having a rigid and detachable top and bottom rail. The barrier is of light weight construction, its main components being made of aluminum and nylon. It consists of a top and bottom T-shaped aluminum rail, the rails being joined by means of nylon straps of various widths that are suspended between the rails, the widths and spacing of the straps depending on the particular configuration, of which there may be a number of variations. At each rail end, both top and bottom rails, there is a loop of nylon strap. The straps are used to fix the barrier to the T-top bollards or star pickets. The top rail ends can include secondary straps for binding the ends of the top rail to the ends of a bottom rail when a section of the safety barrier is rolled up for storage or transport. | 05-07-2015 |
20160114990 | Portable hand rail system and apparatus - The present invention is generally directed to a portable and stable hand rail for a delivery vehicle's ramp railings. In one embodiment, at least two removable vertical posts are interconnected by a flexible but taut safety net. The posts are installed to be vertical to, and with respect to, the ramp's horizontal surface, so that the posts soundly and securely attach, removably couple or removably connect to the delivery ramp side railings by the one or more clamp systems. The posts are placed sufficiently apart from one another on the ramp's railing in order to provide sufficient strength to the interconnected safety net to prevent a human from falling from the ramp. One or more attachment systems (such as hooks, for example) on the flexible safety net can further be securely attached to the ramp railing for further strength of the overall system. | 04-28-2016 |
20160160458 | OUTDOOR ACOUSTIC WALL - An acoustic wall has vertical support posts which seat within hollow spikes in the ground, but only to the level of an above-ground-level (or near ground) support post cuff in the hollow spike. When such vertical support posts are used to support a plurality of acoustic panels, the combination allows wind to pass between the panels but, in excessively heavy winds, the entire wall safely flattens on site, due to the vertical support posts' not extending below ground level. | 06-09-2016 |
