Shelf Support
20230062542 · 2023-03-02 ·

A shelf support, especially for loft shelving, comprises an elongate member intended to support a shelf, the member having a respective socket at each of two mutually opposite ends, and two mounting brackets each comprising two spaced-apart arms and each insertable into a respective one of the sockets to be positionable therein with the arms projecting away from the member in the length direction of the member so as to provide securing projections for embracing and securing to a respective mount on which the support is to be mounted.

Systems and methods for assembling structural components

Systems and methods for assembling structural components are disclosed wherein a selectively configurable fixture is placed on an assembly surface of an assembly table. An assembly table interface couples about a pin of a pin slot of the assembly table and, by means of linkage assembly, translates movement of the pin to a positioning member. The positioning member, by the translated movement of the pin, abuts an element of structural component and supports the element while a fastener is applied to join multiple elements of the structural component. A selectively configurable fixture may be used in isolation, or in combination with other fixtures.

Screen enclosure frame

SANITIZING POUCH FOR ELECTRONICS
20220316641 · 2022-10-06 ·

The present invention is an elastic (mechanically stretchable), sanitizing pouch configured to receive and hold an Electronic Device of a predetermined configuration. The elasticity of the fabric used maximizes surface contact with the Electronic Device and the closeness of the fabric of the invention with the outside surfaces of the Electronic Device. A liftable and removable cover flap on the front of the invention is used to hold and access the inside of the invention. The back of the invention includes at least one pocket. The invention further includes a pull tab to help lift an Electronic Device out of the invention. While inside the invention, the silver ions are released in the fabric and inhibit the colonization of bacteria, viruses and fungus on the Electronic Device.

Buckling-restrained braces and frames including the same
11649632 · 2023-05-16 ·

An example buckling restrained brace (“BRB”) includes a casing exhibiting a hollow cross-sectional shape defining an interior region. The BRB also includes a core and at least a portion of the core is disposed in the interior region of the casing. For example, the casing may exhibit a first length and the core may exhibit a second length that is greater than the first length such that a portion of the core extends from the casing. The core is separated from the casing by an minimum gap distance along at least a portion of the first length of the casing and a corresponding portion of the second length of the core.

ADJUSTABLE ELECTRICAL FIXTURE MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

A mounting assembly is provided for quick and easy attachment to engineered joists. The mounting assembly includes a brace assembly and a mounting bracket.

LEAN-TO RIGGING APPARATUS FOR SHAFT INSTALLATION
20170370520 · 2017-12-28 ·

A lean-to rigging apparatus is described for installation in a shaft, such as an elevator shaft, having a wall and including at least one sill opposite the wall. The rigging apparatus includes a spanning beam, a sill support structure, a wall support member, and a hoist connector. The sill support structure on a first end of the spanning beam is designed to seat against a sill in the in the shaft while the wall support member on a second end of the spanning beam abuts against the opposite shaft wall. The sill support structure is rigidly connected to the spanning beam in a hingeless configuration and can seat against a sill in a plurality of seating positions. These seating positions allow the rigging apparatus to be positioned in a plurality of angles and therefore to be installed in shafts of different dimensions. The hoist connector is configured to allow a connection to a hoist device for hoisting various materials from one level to another within the shaft.
