A socket mounted post system including a post with a hollow base portion attached to a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism includes a pillar, the pillar having a finger extending from the hollow base portion. The finger is engageable with a socket that is mountable in a floor. The spring mechanism allows the post to flex angularly relative to a vertical orientation of the post.

A gate assembly is formed from a gate attached by hinges to a jamb. A pair of L-shaped brackets are attached to the outer sides of the jamb. The brackets are in turn attached to a pair of gate posts in a barrier. Bolt holes formed in the header section of the jamb receive removable eye bolts that may be used as hoisting points as the jamb is being positioned within a barrier. To maintain the shape of the jamb during such positioning, a removable sill section is included in the base of the jamb. The first upright section of the jamb defines an unobstructed internal channel bounded by input and output portals. A cable may pass though the channel and into the gate by way of the output portal. Window openings in the gate may be fitted with removable window panels containing pickets and infill material. Dual gates may be positioned within an enlarged jamb, and a removable mullion post positioned between the gates and supported by the jamb.

The present invention relates to a fence opening installation apparatus for connecting a pair of spaced fence posts, comprising: a latch member, at least two anchor members, at least one base member, wherein the latch member is releasably connected together between two spaced sections of a first fence post and a second fence post, wherein the first anchor member is disposed at the end of the first fence and the second anchor member is disposed at the end of a second fence post, and wherein the first and second fence post are operatively connected to the corresponding anchor members to disengage from the base member to raise out the corresponding post lower section of the fence post in conjunction with the user manipulation to create an opening for the user.

A tensioned barrier, comprising a chain link or mesh fence providing a secure perimeter, is provided. The fence is tensioned by grabbing and holding one end of the mesh link, wrapping the mesh around a perimeter of the fence poles, including wrapping the mesh around the outside of corner poles, pulling the mesh at its distal end to create a tension in the mesh and then grabbing the distal end of the mesh and securing it to the final fence pole. The fence is created using a high strength small weave mesh that resists cutting and climbing. In one embodiment the fence is created adjacent a structure, using the structure as an element of the barrier. In another embodiment, a fully fenced area is created by placing the first fence pole at a small distance apart from the final fence pole, with the other poles forming a perimeter, and tensioning and wrapping the mesh around all of the poles, affixing the ends of the mesh to the first and final poles and providing a gate or door between the first and final poles.

A chain tab for securing gated enclosures. A chain tab includes a pair of funnel-shaped sides that angle inward in a V-shape towards a chain slot. A chain tab system includes a gate including a railing adjacent to a fence post, a chain hanging from the railing, a chain tab secured to the gate proximate to the chain, the chain tab including a pair of sides meeting at a corner, a slot extending into the chain tab towards the corner, the slot dividing the chain tab into two obtuse triangles connected together at the corner, the first obtuse triangle including an acclivous side funneling into the slot, and the second obtuse triangle including a declivous side funneling into the slot, wherein the chain wraps around the fence post and slides along the acclivous side or the declivous side into the slot.

A socket mounted post system including a post with a hollow base portion attached to a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism includes a pillar, the pillar having a finger extending from the hollow base portion. The finger is engageable with a socket that is mountable in a floor. The spring mechanism allows the post to flex angularly relative to a vertical orientation of the post.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for automated bag packaging, comprising at least one processor; and memory storing comprising: receiving an order comprising at least one item; searching at least one data store to determine one or more properties associated with each item; for each group: performing an optimization process for packaging the at least one item into one or more bags, by: selecting a data structure representing a first bag, the data structure comprising a size of the first bag; iteratively simulating packaging of a largest item of the group into the first bag until all items are packaged in the selected bag; generating at least one set of instructions for packaging the items into the selected bag; and sending the generated instructions to a computer system for display, the instructions including at least one item identifier and one bag identifier.

A gate assembly is formed from a gate attached by hinges to a frame. A pair of L-shaped brackets are attached to the outer sides of the frame. The brackets are in turn attached to a pair of gate posts in a barrier. Bolt holes formed in the header section of the frame receive removable eye bolts that may be used as hoisting points as the frame is being positioned within a barrier. To maintain the shape of the frame during such positioning, a removable sill section is included in the base of the frame. The first upright section of the frame defines an unobstructed internal channel bounded by input and output portals. A cable may pass though the channel and into the gate by way of the output portal. Window openings in the gate may be fitted with removable window panels containing pickets and infill material. Dual gates may be positioned within an enlarged frame, and a removable mullion post positioned between the gates and supported by the frame.

A gate closure device including a U-shaped support member which is slipped over the upper end of a fence post with the base portion thereof being pivotally and slidably secured to the fence post. An elongated shaft is rotatably secured to the outer ends of the legs of the first support member. A first rod is secured to one end of the first shaft and a second rod is fixed to the other end of the first shaft. First and second crank handles and locking devices are secured to the outer ends of the first and second rods respectively. A flexible loop has its ends fixed to the first shaft which is slipped over the free end of the fence gate. The crank handles are rotated to draw the free end of the fence gate towards the fence post.

A socket mounted post system including a post with a hollow base portion attached to a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism includes a pillar, the pillar having a finger extending from the hollow base portion. The finger is engageable with a socket that is mountable in a floor. The spring mechanism allows the post to flex angularly relative to a vertical orientation of the post.
