Fencing system for negotiating topography of surfaces
A flexible fencing system capable of negotiating topographical variations of surfaces without any negative effect on the strength of the fencing system and comprised of an initial post, at least one intermediary post and an end post. Each of the initial and end posts includes a plate extending distally from the posts. The intermediary posts include two plates extending distally from the intermediary posts where the angle between the distally extending plates is 180°. Braces having plates at each end are located between and connect to the posts at connection points formed by the plates of the braces secured to the plates of the posts. The connection points form a hinge providing flexibility to either incline or decline the brace relative to the preceding post, the variation of the brace inclination or declination determined by the topographical variations of a surface.

System for the safety of workers installing escalators
A system for the safety of those installing escalator systems having structural supports. A hand-rail is utilized having at least one post, each post made of an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion contains a top rail slot and a bottom rail slot for a cable to pass through, the cable is tensioned at a cable tension mount which can be located along the side of the escalator structure or to the bottom ground surface or top ground surface. The lower portion of the post contains a bottom mount and mid-bottom mount, which mount to the side of the escalator structure at the desired location of the user. This hand-rail system eliminates the need for a worker to wear a safety harness and tether to a cable which restricts motion.

LIVESTOCK TROUGH AND SYSTEM
The livestock trough and system comprises a perimeter wall, a bottom, an upper rim, one or more fence coupling members, and a slot, the slot being defined by the perimeter wall and adapted to be positioned adjacent to a central support member of a fence. One or more reinforcement members extend radially from a position adjacent to the slot to an inside surface of the perimeter wall. The central support member comprises a vertical elongated tubular element such as a pipe. In certain embodiments, the central support member comprises an H configuration and the slot is further defined by an interior wall such that a lower portion of a vertical post perimeter is coaxially arranged within the slot and a horizontal brace member spans between a first vertical post and a second vertical post.
Folding support assembly for fence systems
A folding corner assembly for rapid and efficient installation of a fence post with support, especially for a corner assembly or endpoint. A brace is pivotally mounted between a first post sleeve and a second post sleeve. The first post sleeve and second post sleeve fold to a position approximately parallel with the brace in a storage configuration and unfold to a deployed configuration. An angle support pivotally mounted between a post extending from the first post sleeve and the second post sleeve is extendable by means of a slip joint. A stretch mechanism extends upwardly from the brace and slides along the brace. A tensioner mounted between the first post and the stretch mechanism maintains the stretch position of the stretch mechanism relative to the end post. A plurality of markings longitudinally spaced apart on the brace indicate a stretch specification.
