| 20090249736 | CONNECTING DEVICE FOR CURTAIN WALL UNITS - A connecting device for curtain wall units is disclosed. The connecting device comprises: a claw arm having a horizontal arm for carrying the curtain wall units; a plurality of clamping plates, each two clamping plates fixed on the horizontal arm to clamp the curtain wall units; and a claw base connected to the claw arm and a supporting structure of the curtain wall units. The weight of curtain wall is supported by the claw arm of the connecting device, and point-supported type clamping of the curtain wall is realized by the clamping plates on the end of the claw arm, which enables the stability and security of the structure of curtain wall. The claw arm is hidden in the space between the curtain walls, and thus the whole appearance of curtain wall is beautified. Furthermore, it is unnecessary to provide through holes on the glass wall units. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090255207 | Standardized compression bar system for a braced front construction - A compression bar system for a braced facade structure is disclosed. The system includes a compression bar, and connecting elements connectable to the compression bar. Each connecting element is formed as a pre-fabricated part and is connectable to tie elements. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090255208 | Reduced eccentricity guardrail post connector for decking structure - A reduced eccentricity guardrail post connector is provided and includes a connection element having a tensile force resistant portion and a shear resistant portion, where a proximal end of the shear resistant portion is connected at about a normal angle to a distal end of the tensile force resistant portion. The post connector further includes a post coupler disposed at a proximal end of the tensile force resistant portion, where the post coupler compressively joins a post to a rim joist. Additionally, a joist coupler is disposed at a distal end of the shear resistant portion, where the joist coupler compressively joins the connector element to a joist. Further, a joist material strengthening element is disposed into the joist to resist tensile loads in joist material. The tensile resistant portion resists tensile loads and the shear resistant portion resist shear loads when the horizontal forces are imparted on the post. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090293410 | POST ANCHORING DEVICE - A post anchoring method for fence, deck, balcony and railing applications comprising providing an apparatus comprising a base member adapted to being attached to a surface and a tubular member that defines an inside surface, an outside surface and has a base end and a terminal end, and is at least twice as long as it is wide, wherein the base end is connected to the base member, and the terminal end defines an edge capable of piercing into the post; and carrying out the following steps in any order: attaching the base member to the surface; and aligning the post with the tubular member, abutting an end of the post to the terminal end and forcing the tubular member into the post to substantially impale the post such that the outside and inside surfaces frictionally engage the material of the post to secure the tubular member to the post. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090308017 | REINFORCING BAR ANCHORAGE - A reinforcing bar anchorage | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090308018 | STARTING PLATFORM WEDGE ANCHOR ASSEMBLY - An anchor for a rectangular tube employs a wedge assembly, whereby rotation of an adjustment bolt of the wedge assembly moves an upper and lower wedge member together, and the wedge engagement with a central wedge member causes said central wedge member to move toward engagement with the tube, thereby securing the tube within a base body. Clevis pins and corresponding key hole slots mount the wedge assembly to a base, while allowing easy removal of the wedge when desired. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090320404 | FLANGED HILLSIDE WASHER FOR IMPROVED LOAD DISTRIBUTION - The invention relates to a flanged hillside washer assembly that is used to mount bracing rods on metal building frames. The flanged hillside washer assembly includes a flange portion and a hillside washer portion. The flange portion has a flat base on one end, an upper surface and a channel passing therethrough. The hillside washer portion extends from the upper surface of the flange portion and has a smooth upper curved surface, a pair of side walls extending from the smooth upper curved surface to the upper surface of the flange portion, and a channel passing between a first opening in the curved surface to the channel in the flange portion to form a continuous channel through the flanged hillside washer assembly. The two side walls are positioned on opposite sides of at least one solid region, the solid region defining at least a part of the channel, extend from the curved surface to the upper surface of the flange portion and limit a pivoting movement of a mating rod within the channel. The flange portion extends outwardly beyond the side walls of the hillside washer portion to define an extended load distribution surface greater than the load distribution surface of the hillside washer portion by itself. The channel passing through the hillside washer portion and the flange portion has a breadth dimension and a width dimension over its length, the breadth varying over its length, and the width of the channel being substantially constant over at least a portion of its length sufficient to limit widthwise movement of a mating rod within the channel. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100107547 | Positioning plate for foundation anchor bolt - A support plate positioned on or within a construction block formed on the upper surface thereof a channel for the receipt and engagement of a short leg of an anchor bolt, there being two planar vertical upstanding panels adjacent the channel, said vertical upstanding panels engaging the outer circumference of the long leg of the anchor bolt in 180 degree relationship, thereby insuring its maintenance in a vertical orientation. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100139205 | RAPID LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DEVICE FOR AN ATTACHMENT PLATE FOR A SWIMMING POOL SHELTER ROOF ELEMENT - The invention relates to a device (D) for locking/unlocking to the ground (S) of a connecting plate ( | 06-10-2010 |
| 20140250824 | NON-INVASIVE ROOF MOUNTING ADAPTER AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING SAME - A mounting adapter for attaching an object to a mounting surface such as a flat roof includes a planar anchor plate having first apertures and second apertures extending therethrough. The first apertures receive an elongated fastener having a length sufficient to fasten the anchor plate over and to a support structure positioned beneath the mounting surface. A cover plate includes third apertures aligned with the second apertures and at least one fourth aperture. The cover plate extends over the first apertures and a second fastener extends through each third aperture and engages with a corresponding second aperture to secure the cover plate over the anchor plate. At least one third fastener interfaces with the at least one fourth aperture for attaching the object to the adapter such that load forces from the object are transferred directly to the support structure beneath the mounting surface through each elongated fastener. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20150368919 | Space Saving Anchor Point for a Concrete Structure - A space saving anchor point for a concrete deck or column. The anchor point includes an elongated receiver box attached to the inside surface of a form used to construct a concrete structure that becomes embedded the concrete deck. The elongated box is a partially enclosed structure with a lower opening that communicates with an interior cavity. The elongated box includes optional flange surfaces that attached to the inside surface of a form used to construct the concrete deck. Extending transversely through the interior cavity is a rod with its opposite ends that extend laterally from the sides of the elongated box and become covered with concrete. Attached to the portion of the rod located inside the interior cavity is an elongated connector plate. The connector plate is assembled on the rod and is configured to rotate around the rod and move longitudinally inward inside the interior cavity to hidden position or moved outward from the interior cavity partially exposing the plates' second opening. The second opening may connect to a suitable snap hook or clip used by a construction worker when working near a leading edge fall hazard. | 12-24-2015 |
