| 20080237419 | LOAD DISTRIBUTING APPARATUS FOR CORNER POSTS - An apparatus for distributing a load placed on top of a packaging unit is provided. The apparatus includes a set of molded plastic caps that fit over the upper ends of corner posts and a rectangular top frame mountable to the caps to evenly distribute the load across the entire cross sectional profile of the corner posts to prevent one or more of the posts from buckling or otherwise failing. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20110163213 | MAILBOX MOUNTING SYSTEM - A system mounts a mailbox to an upstanding post defining an upper portion of the post. The system includes a plate adapted to mount the mailbox and defining a lower surface and an upper surface of the plate, the upper surface being adapted to support a lower surface of the mailbox. A sleeve extends downwardly from the lower surface of the plate, is adapted to matingly receive the upper portion of the post, and defines at least one interior wall of the sleeve. The interior wall defines at least one rib of the interior wall adapted to contact an exterior surface of the upper portion to fittingly secure the post within the sleeve and, thus, mount the mailbox to the post. Alternatively, the sleeve is adapted to be matingly received by the upper portion of the post. Alternatively, multiple mailboxes can be supported by a single system. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110215211 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING AN ACCESSORY TO A MOWER - An accessory mount for self-propelled mowers allows accessories to be retrofitted to self-propelled mowers. Self-propelled mowers commonly have wheel assemblies mounted by vertically oriented stems held in vertical hollow tube wheel mounts. The end of the stems of the wheel assemblies extend out the top of the hollow tube wheel mounts, presenting hubs. Apertures in the hubs accept cotter pins for retaining the wheels. Washers at the top and bottom of the wheel assembly stems vertically position the wheels. An accessory mount has apertures sized and spaced to match the hubs and the cotter pins and washers used to retain the wheel assemblies also retain the accessory mount. The distance between apertures in the accessory mount can be adjusted to retrofit to different self-propelled mowers. The accessory mount presents interfaces such as bearing surfaces for interfacing with accessories. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20120145848 | PIER CAP CLEAT - A pier cap comprises a support rail engaging surface and a mounting cleat disposed on the support rail engaging surface. The mounting cleat comprises a substantially round-shaped section coupled to the support rail engaging surface and a substantially wedge-shaped prong section elevated above the support rail engaging surface. A notched section of the mounting cleat defines a space between the support rail engaging surface and the substantially wedge-shaped prong section. The notched section is configured to receive a mounting flange coupled to a support rail of a support structure for a solar panel array. | 06-14-2012 |
| 20130001386 | Sliding Mailbox Structure having Two-Piece Construction and Handle - Disclosed is a mailbox slider device that provides mailboxes of various widths to be slideably mounted along the horizontal portion of an existing mailbox support post. The device comprises a first base member and a second slideable member being attached using complimentary tongue and groove sliders, wherein the members include a recessed channel having a first and second channel stop that prevents separation of the two members at the base member distal end, while allowing separation and engagement of the members along the inward proximal end of the base member. A mailbox is secured to a support block, which then attaches to the upper surface of the second sliding member. The sliding member engages the base member from its proximal end, whereafter the base member is secured to the horizontal portion of a mailbox post to provide a readily extendable and retractable assembly for improved access for postal service workers. | 01-03-2013 |
| 20130134271 | ADJUSTING MECHANISM AND RELATED ANTENNA SYSTEM - An adjusting mechanism includes a supporter, a foundation and a clamper. The supporter includes a base, and a supporting component pivotably disposed on the base along a first axial direction. An open hole is formed on a bottom of the base, and the base includes a fixing portion. The foundation is pivotably disposed on the base. A conjunction portion is disposed on a surface of the foundation, and the fixing portion is connected to the conjunction portion for preventing the base from rotating relative to the foundation. The clamper is fixed on the foundation for piercing through the open hole and partly positioning between the base and the supporting component. The clamper includes a body for clamping a tube, and two connecting parts disposed on a lateral surface of the body. A direction of each connecting part is parallel to a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction. | 05-30-2013 |
| 20140077046 | MAILBOX MOUNTING SYSTEM - A system mounts a mailbox to an upstanding post defining an upper portion of the post. The system includes a plate adapted to mount the mailbox and defining a lower surface and an upper surface of the plate, the upper surface being adapted to support a lower surface of the mailbox. A sleeve extends downwardly from the lower surface of the plate, is adapted to matingly receive the upper portion of the post, and defines at least one interior wall of the sleeve. The interior wall defines at least one rib of the interior wall adapted to contact an exterior surface of the upper portion to fittingly secure the post within the sleeve and, thus, mount the mailbox to the post. The sleeve is also adapted to be matingly received by the upper portion of the post. Multiple mailboxes can be supported by a single system. | 03-20-2014 |
| 20140263898 | FENCE POST PLATFORM ATTACHMENT DEVICE - A fence post platform attachment device fits on top of a T-post has a top platform portion that allows objects such as birdhouses, signs, sprinklers, lockboxes, etc. to be secured to the T-post. A cross-shaped body portion is formed by bending a sheet of steel into a hollow cross shape and welding it to the top platform portion. A series of holes are disposed along the corners of the top platform portion to allow a user to attach the desired object. Fasteners such as bolts securely hold the selected objet to the top platform portion thereby securing it to the T-post fence post. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150136923 | FENCE POST MOUNTABLE FOR DISPLAYING FLOWERS, PLANTS, AND THE LIKE - An apparatus for releasable mounting to a fence post is provided. The apparatus includes a leg portion, a basket portion, and a mounting portion. The leg portion defines a first end and a second end. The basket portion is coupled to the leg portion at the first end of the leg portion and extends from the leg portion in a first direction. The mounting portion is coupled to the leg portion at the second end of the leg portion and extends from the leg portion in a second direction opposite the first direction. The mounting portion is configured for mounting about a fence post. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20160160901 | TUBE WELD - A joint weld between a rod and a hollow tube is disclosed. The rod has a cylindrical first end, and the hollow tube has a second end situated coaxially about a first axial length of the cylindrical first end. A plurality of circumferentially distributed scallops in the second end extend axially to at most a second axial length less than the first axial length to form an end pattern with varying axial extent as a function of circumferential position. The joint includes a weld along a perimeter of the end pattern, between the hollow tube and the rod. | 06-09-2016 |
