Adjustable step
An adjustable step includes a planar surface having an acute angular bend at an off-center portion of the planar surface dividing the device into a first section and a second section. The first section has anti-slip surface disposed upon a topside face. The second section has a rectangular cutout portion that transects an edge of the second section. The step is configured to removably secure about a dock post and remain in position when pressure is applied to said first section.
Dock Leveling System
The dock leveling system is a device to quickly and easily alter the height of the lake dock without necessitating getting into the water. The system can be installed into existing docks, or could potentially be sold with new docks. The system accomplishes the purpose of altering the height of the lake dock by the movement of a lower and upper clamp, each connected to the two foot threaded rod by an angle iron. Using a cordless drill, the top nut can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise. Clockwise movement of the top nut brings the two clamps together, raising the dock. Reversely, counter-clockwise movement of the top nut distances the two clamps from each other, lowering the dock frame.
DOCK SHOCK ABSORPTION DEVICE
A dock shock absorption device includes a frame and one or more energy dissipative elements. The frame is attached to a dock with the frame enclosing a pylon. The one or more energy dissipative elements attach to the frame and are equal to or less than 1 inch from the pylon.
Frame rail assemblies and interlocking frame rail systems
A boat dock structure includes an upper deck, sides extending downward from the upper deck, and a wheel bumper having a substantially round shape. The wheel bumper has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being positioned under the upper deck, the second portion extending outward from the cutout portion of at least one of the sides to protect the boat dock and a boat from damage when the boat is docking at the boat dock adjacent to the wheel bumper. At least one of the sides may have a cutout portion.
REMOVABLE SWIM-UP DOCK BAR
A removable swim-up dock bar is described. The dock bar is removably attachable to a submerged foundation of an existing dock and may have adjustable seats or adjustable legs to ensure proper height and stability.
AUTOMATIC MOORING APPARATUS FOR WATERCRAFT
A mooring apparatus (10) for automatic mooring and parking a 10-70 feet long watercraft that is built from two dock-finger units (20) fixed to the dock (2). The dock-finger units (20) are equipped with flexible tentacle elements (80) for positioning the watercraft (4) by keeping continuous contact with the hull (6). and they are also equipped with automatic-operated locking mechanisms (40) for catching and locking the watercraft (4), The mooring apparatus (10) has a control panel (90) with a built-in programmable processor (98) and a communication unit (98) that can be accessed from anywhere by communication means, and connected to the harbour IT system.
System and method for pylon anchoring
Disclosed is a pylon anchoring system in the form of an extruded strip that may be wrapped around, and affixed to, a pylon or post such that the pylon anchoring system is positioned beneath a sand line when the pylon or post is installed and set. Advantageously, when the post or pylon is installed such that the pylon anchoring strip is positioned beneath sand (or some other ground surface), a plurality of anchor elements on the system generate a counteracting force to any external force that might cause the pylon to shift from a set position.
FRAME RAIL ASSEMBLIES AND INTERLOCKING FRAME RAIL SYSTEMS
A boat dock structure includes an upper deck, sides extending downward from the upper deck, and a wheel bumper having a substantially round shape. The wheel bumper has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being positioned under the upper deck, the second portion extending outward from the open or cutout portion of at least one of the sides to protect the boat dock and a boat from damage when the boat is docking at the boat dock adjacent to the wheel bumper. At least one of the sides may have an open or cutout portion.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND ABSORPTION UNDERLAYMENT SYSTEM WITH TRANSITION FEATURES
A load distributing and absorbing system that lies below a barrier layer that is exposed to percussive and/or point-applied forces. The load distributing and absorbing system has one or more load distributing and absorbing tiles. At least some of the tiles have an underlayment infrastructure positioned below a barrier layer. The underlayment infrastructure includes one or more hat-shaped absorbing members. Each has a ceiling primarily for load distribution and a curvilinear wall primarily for load absorption extending from the ceiling. A transition feature is provided to smoothly graduate from one height and type of load distributing and absorbing tile to a load distributing and absorbing tile of another type and height. He system distributes and absorbs forces applied to the barrier layer over a broad area when applied either on a seam between adjacent tiles or within a tile.
