An apparatus, such as a beam pocket, connects a beam to a wall, such as a concrete wall. The apparatus includes a frame having a plurality of panels that cooperate to define a pocket of various heights. The apparatus includes a clamp within the pocket. The clamp is configured to secure an end of the beam at a position within the pocket. The clamp is further configured to selectively define the position relative to the frame. The apparatus further includes at least one anchor extending from the clamp and away from the pocket for mounting with the wall.

A truss clamp assembly includes a lower support member extending in a lateral direction, a vertical rod coupled to the lower support member and extending in a vertical direction that is transverse to the lateral direction, a first engagement portion coupled to the vertical rod and spaced apart from the lower support member in the vertical direction, and a second engagement portion coupled to the vertical rod and spaced apart from the lower support member in the vertical direction, where the second engagement portion is spaced apart from the first engagement portion in the lateral direction, such that the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion define a gap positioned between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion in the lateral direction.

A deck framing device relates to a clamp-based system that can be safely implemented without risk of damaging rails, banisters, or other such existing mounting structures. A set of clamps allows the apparatus to mount securely and removably atop a deck, especially the railing of a deck. The clamps may be adjustable to accommodate for different widths of railings or supports. A vertical post extends upwards from around each of the clamps. These vertical posts are connected by horizontal beams that are optimized for the support of various items, including, but not limited to, curtains, ornamental lighting fixtures, blankets, and more. In many versions, the horizontal beams may expand telescopically to allow for customizable length adjustment or may be cut down to an appropriate size and fit into hinged supports extending from the top portions of the vertical posts. Various threaded fasteners ensure that customization is both convenient and intuitive.

A modular support system includes a central core and operation modules arranged radially around the central core. A first operation module is configured to receive water to be treated. A second operation module is disposed under the first operation module and is configured to receive the water and to perform a first type of water treatment. A third operation module is disposed under the second operation module and is configured to receive the water and to perform a second type of water treatment that is different from the first type of water treatment. A fourth operation module is disposed under the third operation module and is configured to receive and store the water for usage.

A connector is provided for connecting an elongate support member to a mount. The connector includes a collet assembly including a collet having an opening configured to receive the elongate support member therein. The collet includes a tapered outer profile. The collet assembly includes a collet sleeve extending around the collet. The collet sleeve is configured to move along a length of the collet such that engagement between the collet sleeve and the tapered outer profile of the collet compresses the collet radially inward. The collet sleeve includes a mounting provision configured to be releasably joined to the mount using a mechanical fastener.

An apparatus for connecting collar components to an elongate member is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame structure having a central opening that is configured to receive an elongate member and that includes at least a first gripping station and a second gripping station. Each gripping station includes a reference surface and a clamp device that is configured to force a collar component against the reference surface. The first and second gripping stations are configured to control relative spatial location of a first collar component held by the first gripping station relative to a second collar component gripped by the second gripping station, prior to connecting the first and second collar components to the elongate member.

A framing system includes a first connection assembly that engages with a substrate. The first connection assembly includes a first connector and a track. At least one spring flange defined by the first connector engages with a fastener positioned along the substrate to maintain the first connection assembly in a fixed position relative to the substrate and to interconnect the substrate with the track. The framing system further includes a second connection assembly defining a second connector engaged to a stud. The second connection assembly engages with the first connection assembly to interconnect the stud with the track.

Modular shelter systems are described herein. In one aspect, the modular shelter system includes an endcap positioned at a first end of the modular shelter system. The endcap includes a first support arch; and an endcap frame. The modular shelter system also includes a second support arch positioned at a second end of the modular shelter system. The modular shelter system also includes at least one section assembly disposed between the first support arch and the second support arch. The section assembly includes a plurality of purlins oriented along a longitudinal axis of the modular shelter system.

A mounting clamp for coupling a mechanical component to a mounting bracket. The mounting clamp can include a set of clamp sections, including a first clamp section and a second clamp section, hingedly coupled and movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The first clamp section can have a first set of clasps and a first arcuate portion extending from a first base. The second clamp section can have a second set of clasps and a second arcuate portion extending from a second base. In the closed configuration the first and second sets of clasps extend in a first direction and define an attachment portion for attaching the mounting clamp to the mounting bracket and the first and second arcuate portions extend in a second direction, different from the first direction and define a retention portion for retaining the mechanical component therein.

A modular support frame comprises trusses, purlins transverse to the trusses, and vertical posts supporting the various trusses. A supply of wedges permits flange-type connectors to be joined to complementary connectors throughout the foundation. The trusses are arranged end-to-end in parallel rows, each row comprising at least one pair of trusses or more depending on the desired size of the foundation. Vertical posts are positioned between the ends of each of the trusses within a row and at opposing ends of the row, and each post comprises a pair of flange-type connectors at predetermined heights. Each of the trusses is terminated at either end with a pair of complementary connectors such that adjacent in-line trusses can be mounted to the post between them and the outer pair of trusses can be mounted to the posts terminated the row. Purlins extend perpendicularly between the trusses in adjacent rows to reinforce the frame. To that end, the trusses comprise flange-type connectors and the purlins are terminated at either end with complementary connectors.
