20090302290 | HIGH IMPACT PROTECTION SYSTEM - An impact protection system is disclosed. A plurality of anchor posts is provided with at least one transverse support member between at least two of the plurality of anchor posts. The at least one transverse support member attaches rigidly between the anchor posts to transfer impact force from one anchor post to the next as a compressive force along an axis of the transverse support member. | 12-10-2009 |
20100176360 | BARRIER - A barrier fence for horse racing courses and the like having a rail assembly, uprights and ground anchors for the uprights' lower ends. Fence can resiliently deflect under side loads applied to the rail assembly, but in the event of an excessive value of such load, or of an impact load applied directly to an upright, that upright can break away from its ground anchor at its lower end. Multiple breakaway mechanisms can be provided. Upper ends of the uprights are secured to the rail assembly and in the event of an upright breaking away at its lower end it can rotate about a horizontal axis. | 07-15-2010 |
20120061636 | FENCE KIT, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STRENGTHENING A FENCE - A fence system for strengthening a vinyl fence which includes a plurality of fence posts having specified dimensions, and the posts have a hollow interior. A plurality of section panels include specified dimensions, and the section panels each including a slat portion. The section panels each include a fence railing coupled to a top and bottom of the slat portion. The fence railings each define a hollow interior, and the fence railings are coupled to the posts by a connecting portion of the fence railings passing through corresponding holes in the posts. A strengthening member for positioning in each of the hollow portions of the top and bottom fence railings. A plurality of post members for positioning within the hollow interior at the top of the fence posts. The post members being attachable to the connecting portion of the fence railing using a first attachment element. | 03-15-2012 |
20120132878 | HARMONIC STABILIZER FOR PORCH AND PATIO RAILINGS - In a porch or patio railing system having a plurality of vertically disposed pickets, a harmonic stabilizer for dampening forced external harmonic resonance is applied thereto. Each harmonic stabilizer includes an elongated member having a c-shape configuration formed by three wall members including a back wall and a left and right side wall all integrally attached at right angles in relation to one another. A center channel of the elongated member is defined by the three side walls and also includes an open end for providing access to the center channel. A pair of inwardly extending notches attached along outer edges of the left and right side walls provides a friction fit mating mechanism when the harmonic stabilizer is employed onto one of the plurality of vertically disposed pickets. | 05-31-2012 |
20130240816 | Edge Protection System Using Cantilevered Counterweight - An edge protection system including spaced counterweights each having a connecting bracket on one side thereof. Cantilever arms each have vertical legs on opposite ends, with one leg pivotally secured to the counterweights and the other leg secured to hubs. The vertical legs may selectively support the cantilever arm at a height sufficient to allow workers to walk upright beneath the arm. Wedges connect ledger ends to connecting wheels on hub vertical posts, and secure a stiffener to the wheel and ledger sections. Counterweights have a U-shaped bracket and a plurality of weight blocks. The blocks are selectively stacked on the bracket with one upright leg extending through weight block center openings and the other upright leg in side slots of the blocks. A trolley has a carrying connector for connecting to a connector of the one upright leg on top of the counterweight for transporting the counterweight. | 09-19-2013 |
20140008597 | RAILING SYSTEM AND TENSIONED POSTS USED THEREIN - One or more posts of a railing system are held securely in place by a hidden tensioning cable that extends through a cavity of the post along a longitudinal axis and is tensioned to securely fasten the post securely to a surface of a structure. Placement of the tensioning cable through the cavity allows cable receivers to be placed at desired spacing in one or more receiver channels of the post, the cable receivers operable to receive cable rails of the railing system. The receiver channels are oriented transverse the longitudinal axis of the post and are each configured to receive a receiver in to which a cable assembly may be placed. This abstract is not to be considered limiting. | 01-09-2014 |
20140027696 | SAFETY GUARD RAIL - An apparatus for forming a barrier along a perimeter of a roof being formed of a roof deck and a roof covering comprises an anchor plate having a plurality of fastener bores therethrough. The anchor plate is securable between the roof deck and the roof covering proximate to the perimeter of the roof. The apparatus also comprises an upright extending between top and bottom ends. The upright is pivotally securable to the anchor plate and the top end includes at least one connector for connecting a barrier member thereto. The apparatus further includes a brace extending from the bottom end of the upright to abut against an edge surface of the roof. | 01-30-2014 |
20140166955 | Collapsible safety rail system - A collapsible safety rail system for providing a portable or permanent protective barrier to provide for fall prevention from elevated or other work areas. Lockable pivot assemblies are located between heavy bases and the end posts of collapsible safety rail assemblies. Removable detent pins are utilized to lock the pivot assemblies to maintain the erected position of the collapsible safety rail assemblies in protective vertical orientation or are removed to allow maneuvering of the collapsible safety rail assemblies to a minimum viewable profile position when not required for personnel protection. | 06-19-2014 |
20140217345 | Safety Rail System - A dual post receptor ( | 08-07-2014 |
20140252291 | Removable Bracket for a Walkway Handrail - A removable bracket for attaching a wooden safety handrail to a metal walkway, wherein the bracket can be quickly attached to and removed from the walkway without structurally altering the walkway, allowing a safety handrail to be quickly and inexpensively sized and shaped as needed from wooden boards. | 09-11-2014 |
20140332743 | RAILING SYSTEM AND PICKET FOR A RAILING SYSTEM - A picket for a railing system comprises an elongated body with one or more walls and first and second ends. The first and second ends engage the top and bottom rails, respectively, of the railing system. The picket also comprises one or more cutouts formed along one or more of the walls. Each of the cutouts engages one of the plurality of spacers. The cutouts are proximal to the first and second ends of the pickets. | 11-13-2014 |
