Window well cover
The window well cover is a cover that is placed on top of the window well. The window well cover is a screened frame that prevents debris from falling into the window well but allows light to pass into the window well in order to provide natural light to enter cellar environments. The window well cover is fitted with a first door and a second door that allows access into the window well for maintenance purposes. The first door and the second door are secured with a locking latch when closed. The window well cover comprises a first door, a second door, a master panel, and a locking latch. The first door and the second door are mounted on the master panel. The locking latch secures the first door and the second door in the closed position.
A Flood Barrier
A flood barrier (100) is disclosed, which comprises at least two supporting posts (104a, 104b) for positioning at an entrance (102) of a building; and at least one panel (108) removably arranged intermediate a pair of the supporting posts to form the flood barrier, wherein the panel includes a plurality of seals having corrugated surfaces to interface with the supporting posts to provide a water-tight arrangement against entry of flood waters into the building. A method of operating said flood barrier is also disclosed.

SAFETY GATE FOR PETS AND SMALL CHILDREN
A safety gate for preventing pets and small children from passing through an opening, the safety gate comprising: a collapsible frame for selective disposition in the opening, the collapsible frame comprising: a resizable base having a first end and a second end, the resizable base being configured so that the distance between the first end and the second end is adjustable; and first and second arms adjustably secured to the first and second ends of the resizable base, respectively, so as to be re-configurable between (i) a collapsed configuration wherein the first and second arms extend substantially parallel to one another and substantially parallel to the resizable base, and (ii) an expanded configuration wherein the first and second arms extend upright from the resizable base so that the collapsible frame comprises a substantially U-shaped configuration defining a space between the resizable base and the first and second arms; and a flexible barrier for adjustable mounting to the collapsible frame so as to prevent a pet or small child from passing through the space between the resizable base and the first and second arms.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING WINDOW SAFETY
A system for improved window fall prevention provides removable attachment of a window screen frame to a window frame. Systems according to the disclosure provide removable attachment of a window screen frame to an anchor positioned in the window frame by means of a plurality of cables. The cables attach to the screen frame or rest against an exterior portion of the screen frame at an exterior end, are threaded through the screen frame, and include on an interior end, opposite the exterior end, a releasable attachment to the window frame anchor. The releasable attachment may be between a loop of cable formed at the interior end and the window frame anchor, where the window frame anchor may be a T-screw.
IMPACT DAMPENING PROTECTION DEVICE
An impact dampening device for protecting a structure, may include an impact dampening fixture; an attachment device provided on the dampening fixture for attaching the dampening fixture to the structure; and a mounting device provided on the dampening fixture, the mounting device being configured to have a protective panel mounted thereon, wherein the dampening fixture dampens a force applied to the protective panel to reduce or eliminate impact on the structure.

Retractable boarded window covering apparatus
A window covering apparatus is disclosed, along with a method of using the same. The apparatus may include an upper board component and a lower board component, which are releasably held by central mounts. The upper board and lower board components can be arranged in a fully open shutter state, a half open shutter state, or a fully closed shutter state. The central mounts are positioned near flush to one or more outside or surrounding window surfaces in order to block light transmission. In one embodiment, the upper board and/or the lower board component may incorporate decorative elements and a gapless seam between the upper board and lower board components.
