A canopy support for coupling a tarp to a roof at a desired tarp position spaced from the roof can include a base configured for secured attachment to the roof; and an elongate post comprising a proximal end configured for attachment to the tarp, and an opposed distal end rotatably coupled to the base, wherein the post is rotatable relative to the base about a rotation axis, and wherein the post is rotatable relative to the base about and between a lowered post position and a raised post position.

A strip anchoring system for emergency roof tarp installations, having at least one strip assembly, which has a top face having a top cut out and a top cut out face, and a bottom face having a bottom cut out, a bottom cut out face, and a retaining strip, wherein the at least one strip assembly secures a tarp on a roof. A plurality of strip assemblies may be assembled linearly and/or at ninety degrees.

A layered building element for protecting exterior or interior building surfaces is disclosed. Exterior or interior surfaces may include both vertical and horizontal surfaces, such as walls, roofs, or floors. The layered building element includes a flexible sheet comprising at least one elastomer layer in communication with an elastomer-impregnated fiberglass layer. Each elastomer layer may be bound in communication to the fiberglass layer at an interface comprising elastomer-impregnated fiberglass. The flexible sheet may form, for example, shingles, tiles, or a cylindrical roll, which may support portability and installation of the layered building element.

A coupler comprises a first channel having a first axis of extension in a first horizontal direction and a second channel having a second axis of extension in the first horizontal direction. The second axis of extension is parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis of extension in a second horizontal direction. The second axis of extension has a pitch angle relative to the first axis of extension in a vertical direction, the pitch angle being less than 180 degrees. The first and second channels each include head-mounting features, the head-mounting features constructed and arranged to retain an elongated head to the coupler while permitting movement of the elongated head relative to the coupler in the first horizontal direction.

The present invention relates to an on-site mobile facility for shielding from wind exerting a wind load on the facility, rain or snow when constructing, renovating or assembling a building, a bridge or a wind turbine, the on-site mobile facility covering an area having boundaries and corners, comprising: a plurality of modules, each module having a module roof structure, the module roof structures being mounted as a facility roof structure connecting horizontal beams of the module roof structures, the facility roof structure having edges and the horizontal beams defining the edges which are supported by legs, the legs and the beams defining side areas, the side areas being covered by a shielding arrangement, the shielding arrangement of the side area comprising elongated elements, and cover material, such as tarpaulin, being arranged between the elements and connected therewith, wherein the on-site mobile facility further comprises a guide system for guiding the shielding arrangement of the side area, the guide system being slidably connecting the elements with one of the beams or the adjacent legs so as to at least partly uncover the side areas, so that wind is allowed to pass through the facility by passing through the uncovered part of the side area and out through an uncovered part of the side area on another side of the on-site mobile facility to reduce the wind load on the facility in order for the facility to remain unaffected by the wind load during heavy winds. The present invention also relates to a facility mounting method for mounting the on-site mobile facility according to the present invention.

A barrier assembly for blocking a potentially debris-carrying airflow includes an elongated, flexible barrier sheet extending from a ceiling to a floor and a plurality of hanger structures engaging an upper edge of the sheet in longitudinally spaced relation therealong. Each hanger structure includes a connector tab adapted for engagement with a suspension member and a pair of diverging adhesive panels for adhesive engagement with the sheet. The suspension members engage ceiling members to support the sheet from the ceiling.

An assembly table for use in a remote manufacturing yard is provided. The assembly table is configured to be collapsible thereby allowing for a reduced footprint during transportation. The assembly table can include a central support base; a plurality of arms attached to the central support base; a secondary support member attached to each arm configured to provide support for and give height to the assembly table when in use; and a centering guide attached to each arm, the centering guide configured to receive a bottom portion of a partial shell, the centering guide located at a predetermined location of its own arm.

A weighted tarpaulin device for covering an article without moving due to wind or other environmental forces includes a tarpaulin with a plurality of pockets dispersed across a face of the tarpaulin. Each pocket is configured for holding a sandbag of a plurality of sandbags. The plurality of sandbags weigh the tarpaulin down when contained in the plurality of pockets.

A coupler comprises a first channel having a first axis of extension in a first horizontal direction and a second channel having a second axis of extension in the first horizontal direction. The second axis of extension is parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis of extension in a second horizontal direction. The second axis of extension has a pitch angle relative to the first axis of extension in a vertical direction, the pitch angle being less than 180 degrees. The first and second channels each include head-mounting features, the head-mounting features constructed and arranged to retain an elongated head to the coupler while permitting movement of the elongated head relative to the coupler in the first horizontal direction.

An acoustic curtain comprising a panel of sound absorbent material within an envelope formed from polymeric sheets, with means for attaching adjacent panels to one another, and wherein the curtain comprises a magnetic element.
