SOUND WALL AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING THE SAME
A sound wall and a method of constructing the sound wall. The sound wall includes a pair of laterally spaced posts, at least one of the pair of posts including: an elongate central member, a flange extending form the elongate central member in a direction substantially normal to the elongate central member, and a fin extending from the central member. The central member, the flange, and the fin may define a cavity for receiving elongate panels. The sound wall may include a plurality of elongate panels extending between the laterally spaced posts and stacked in an elongate direction of the elongate central member. End regions of the respective elongate panels may be retained between the flange and the fin. The sound wall may include an elongate stiffener member positioned within at least one of the plurality of elongate panels.
Mechanical structure for shock absorption and vibration reduction
The disclosure is directed to a single layer including a plurality of unit cells. Each unit cell includes a first bowling pin structure interlocked with a second bowling pin structure arranged in an opposite orientation to the first bowling pin structure. The first bowling pin structure has a first sidewall, a first wide end, and an opposing first narrow or equal size end. Likewise, the second bowling pin structure has a second sidewall, a second wide end. Each of the bowling pin structures has a center axis along a longitudinal axis of the single layer structure. The first and second sidewalls are configured to have a 3D “S” shape along the longitudinal or vertical axis such that each of the first wide end and the second wide end has a convex shape and each of the first narrow or equal size end and the second narrow or equal size end has a concave shape.
SNAP FIT POSTS FOR FENCE PANELS BALUSTRADES AND THE LIKE
A post for a fit together panel comprising at least one said post and at least one slat, the post comprising a base member and a cover member, the cover member comprising a pair of sidewalls and an interconnecting end wall, the interconnecting end wall containing a plurality of openings through which the end of a slat can pass, the sidewalls adapted for extension over the channel member, the base member comprising a base wall and opposed sidewalls, at least one sidewall comprising a clamping leg adapted for clamping engagement against the end of a said slat passing through a said opening in the cover member, and snap fitting means on the channel member and/or the cover member to enable the channel member and the cover member to be snap fitted together.
A Slatted Screen
Disclosed herein is a slatted screen 10 comprising a frame comprising first and second opposite side members 12 and first and second opposite end members 14. A plurality of slats 18 extend between the side members 12. The slats 18 lie in a common plane P and comprise a first and second end slats 18a at opposite ends of a plurality of intermediate slats 18b. The intermediate slats 18b comprise a first group of slats 18b.sub.1 and a second group of slats 18b.sub.2, wherein the slats of the two groups are interspersed with each other. The slats 18b.sub.1 of the first group are angled relative to the common plane P at different angle to the slats 18b.sub.2 of the second group.
FENCE SYSTEM
A fence system for receiving fence infill therein, wherein fence posts are arranged at selected locations along the fence as a first post and a second post. Upper and lower rails are positioned between the first post and the second post, to receive and restrict lateral movement of fence infill positioned therebetween, and are selectively movable and securable within the posts to permit vertical and angular adjustment of the upper rail and lower rail along the length thereof
Fence Erecting Assembly
A fence erecting assembly for anchoring a stretched fence includes a pair of posts that can each be driven into ground. A pair of lower sleeves is each slidable over a respective one of the posts and a pair of tubes is each coupled to a respective one of the lower sleeves. A pair of upper sleeves is each slidable over a respective one of the posts. A pair of support rods is each insertable through a respective one of the tubes such that each of the support rods is oriented to extend diagonally between the posts. A connection point on each of the support rods is attachable to a mounting tab on a respective one of the upper sleeves thereby inhibiting the pair of posts from tipping toward or away from each other. In this way the pair of posts can serve as an anchor point for a stretched fence.
Integrated snap together fence system
A fencing system having a plurality of molded plastic members which function to provide the posts and nails of a fence and are configured to be assembled with connectors formed of molded plastic to attach the nails to the posts by snapping them together.
SUICIDE-PREVENTING FENCE
The present invention relates to a suicide preventing fence, and, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the suicide preventing fence comprises: a plurality of pole parts provided standing upright from the ground surface at predetermined intervals; a plurality of linking parts which are formed in the shape of pipes and horizontally link the spaces between the pole parts; rotating bodies which are formed with an internally hollow abacus bead shape and are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the linking parts; bearings which are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the linking parts, positioned in the centers on the insides of the rotating bodies; and rotating bolts which are provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the linking parts and are inserted in through-passing regions on both side surfaces of the rotating bodies so as to rotate together with the rotating bodies. Consequently, the invention makes it possible to prevent suicide since the rotating bodies are provided on the fence and cannot be easily grasped by anyone attempting to pass over same.
PIN
A pin having a tool engagement portion and a resiliently deformable cover arranged over the tool engagement portion. The resiliently deformable cover is operable to deform from a first position to a second position to allow for the engagement of the tool engagement portion with a tool. The tool engagement portion is substantially concealed when the cover is in the first position, reducing the opportunities for dirt ingress. A tool may be used to deform the cover and allow the tool to engage with the tool engagement portion such that rotation of the tool causes co-rotation of the pin.
SOUND WALL AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING THE SAME
A sound wall and a method of constructing the sound wall. The sound wall includes a pair of laterally spaced posts, at least one of the pair of posts including: an elongate central member, a flange extending form the elongate central member in a direction substantially normal to the elongate central member, and a fin extending from the central member. The central member, the flange, and the fin may define a cavity for receiving elongate panels. The sound wall may include a plurality of elongate panels extending between the laterally spaced posts and stacked in an elongate direction of the elongate central member. End regions of the respective elongate panels may be retained between the flange and the fin. The sound wall may include an elongate stiffener member positioned within at least one of the plurality of elongate panels.
