Methods for constructing and a building kit for use thereof are disclosed. The building kit includes a plurality of posts configured for embedding within square apertures of a foundation, wherein the posts have a cross-shaped cross-sectional shape, a plurality of cross-shaped cross-sectional shaped elongated members, a plurality of roof panels, wherein the roof panels include solar cells, and a plurality of wall panels having conforming shape to the cross-shaped cross-sectional shaped elongated members.

A product for retaining objects that may include a base that may have a central body. A leg may extend from the central body. An anchor arm may extend from the leg. An offset portion may extend from the anchor arm. The leg, the anchor arm and the offset portion may define three sides of a receptacle. The receptacle may have a fourth side that may be open and that may face toward the central body. An anchor loop may extend from the central body. The anchor loop may have an anchor leg extending from the base, and may have a loop segment on the anchor leg.

System for plugging an opening, including: a plug element designed to cover said opening, a frame made up of at least four rails (1′) designed to be positioned inside the opening and including a first groove (22) formed on a front wall of each rail, and a seal (29),
said first groove (22) being designed to accommodate a substantially peripheral part (27) of the plug element, said seal (29) being designed to be accommodated with a tight fit in retaining means (34) inserted in said groove (22) and retaining said plug element on the frame.

In the screening arrangement a screening device provided with end pieces is adapted to be mounted on mounting brackets (6). Locking means are provided on the end pieces and the mounting brackets for providing engagement, between these. The locking means include mutually cooperating female and male locking means, of which the mounting brackets (6) are provided with two female locking means (12, 14) to cooperate successively with one male locking means of the respective end piece, so that it is possible to provide engagement between each end piece and the respective mounting bracket in at least two positions including a first, temporary position and a second, terminal position on the mounting bracket, when the end pieces are moved with the screening device in the third direction from the point distant from the pane to the point proximate to the pane.

The present disclosure is directed to a window screen system for use with casement, hopper, awning, utility window designs to prevent dirt, debris, and insects from entering into the interior of the unit. The system can be installed on existing window frames to provide screen protection only when the window is open and a screen is needed. As such, a user can have a clear view out of the glass window without the unsightliness, distortion, or solar blockage that a traditional “always visible” screen causes.

A mounting arrangement comprised of a first component for attachment to a support, and a second component supportable by the first component. The first component has a first side which is in use distal from the second component and provides a supporting portion spaced from the first side. The second component provides an engagement portion for engagement with the supporting portion. The mounting arrangement provides a restraining part moveable between a restraining configuration for restraining disengagement of the engagement portion from the supporting portion, and a release configuration for allowing disengagement of the engagement portion from the supporting portion. The mounting arrangement further provides a securing component which is insertable between the second component and the first side of the first component to restrict disengagement of the engagement portion from the supporting portion.

A cornerlock is used with a frame assembly which includes first and second frame members each having a plurality of walls extending between first and second ends. Each of the first and second frame members define an interior with the cornerlock extending into the interiors. An article is coupled to the first and second frame members. The cornerlock includes a first body member configured to mate with the interior of the first frame member and a second body member configured to mate with the interior of the second frame member. Each of the body members has a hinge end and are rotatably coupled together at the hinge ends. A collar defines a hole with at least one of the first and second body members extending through the hole such that the collar is disposed substantially at the hinge end for engaging each of the first and second frame members.
