STRUCTURE CLADDING TRIM COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATION AND USE OF SAME
A cladding kit is provided for a structure cladding, the structure cladding comprising a first panel that extends away from a structure location along a first surface portion of the structure and a second panel that extends away from the structure location along a second surface portion of the structure. The cladding kit comprises a base piece couplable to the structure at the structure location, the base piece comprising a base connector, and a trim piece comprising first and second wings and a trim connector shaped to make a connection with the base connector to thereby couple the trim piece to the base piece. The first wing is shaped to contact, and be deformed by, the first panel when a connection is made. The second wing is shaped to contact, and be deformed by, the second panel when the connection is made.
Floor protector
A floor protector for a security access system, comprising a rigid floor assembly having front and rear edges, the floor assembly comprising at least one floor plate and a base mounted underneath the floor plate, the base being at least partially spaced from the floor plate enabling cabling to pass between the two, and elastomeric entry and exit ramps supporting the front and rear edges of the floor assembly; wherein the base has protrusions at its front and rear edges which locate within respective grooves in respective elastomeric ramps, spaced a distance above the lower surface of the ramp, so as to support the base spaced above the whole or a major part of the floor that it overlies.
Modular Panel System Particularly for Below Grade Applications
A modular wall panel system includes a pair of specially formed receiver strips, base and crown moldings, and a panel. The receiver strips are respectively mounted at selective upper and lower wall locations. Each receiver strip has an elongated base for mounting to the wall, and first and second flanges protruding therefrom, with each flange having a pair of apices particularly formed and located thereon. The crown and base moldings have bottom and rear surfaces, an inward facing ornate/sculpted surface, and a mating flange configured to cantilever away from the rear surface. The mating flange includes a pair of apices that are configured to be mated between the first and second flanges of the receiver strip, and be retained by its flange apices. The receiver strip also spaces the rear surface of the moldings away from the wall/studs, for the panel to be inserted behind the rear surface of each.

RABBET JOINT WITH A CURVED SURFACE
A rabbeted edge of a building or construction piece includes a curved surface with a radius in a rabbet joint to provide improved mechanical strength and resist damage and breaking.
Molding/Trim Concealed Slide-On system
A concealed slide-on molding/trim attachment method reduces the work effort and materials involved to refinish walls, ceilings, or anywhere molding/trim, henceforth called trim, is attached using the conventional nailing method. When removing the existing trim, this invention eliminates the damage to the trim, walls, and ceilings, along with the issues previously associated with the current fastening process. With this invention, refinishing or renovation of the trim, walls, ceilings or any other associated building components can be completed without damage to surrounding surfaces or the existing trim, making the trim reusable. This is a simple way to attach and detach the trim when compared to the current nailing method or use of other fasteners. During initial construction, this invention also reduces time and man-hours for installation.
