Fence/railing/gate element
The invention relates to a fence/railing/gate element comprising a base frame (16) that has a multiplicity of vertical bars (18; 18) connected to a lower support profile (20; 20; 20; 20; 2), wherein the lengths of the vertical bars (18; 18) are greater than the horizontal distance between two adjacent vertical bars (18; 18). In order to extend the possible uses of such elements, it is provided according to the invention that between two adjacent vertical bars (18; 18), in each case one flat filling element (24; 24) is inserted for filling the space between two adjacent vertical bars (18; 18), the height of which filling elementmeasured in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the lower support profile (20; 20; 20; 20; 20)is greater than its width, wherein the support profile (20; 20; 20; 20; 20) is arranged vertically below the filling elements (24; 24) and the region vertically above the filling elements (24; 24) is open.
Cable railing with tensioning device
A railing system is provided. The railing system can include a panel coupled to a post or wall with a tensioning device. The panel can include one continuous strand of cable threaded through, back and forth, two loom members. The loom members can be designed or configured to organize the cable so that the distance between each strand does not exceed spacing requirements in the building codes for railing balusters.
Infill adaptor for a balustrade
An infill adaptor for mounting a screen between upper and lower rails of a balustrade. The upper and lower rails have respective channels which open toward each other. The infill adaptor has a generally L-shaped body with a rail engaging leg extending generally perpendicular to a sash engaging leg. A respective rail engaging leg is mounted in each of the channels for securing an infill adaptor to each rail. The sash engaging leg is secured to the sash of a screen for mounting a screen to the rails.
POST MOUNT CABLE RAIL INSTALLATION SYSTEM
Post mount cable rail systems and methods for installation are disclosed. An example post mount system may include a support pipe for securing the post mount system to a support surface and a screw block including a central opening formed in a lengthwise direction of the screw block. The central opening is sized to fit over the support pipe. The screw block may be devoid of pre-fabricated openings passing in directions that intersect the central opening.
Railing system
A railing system providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance and unobstructed view and having a plurality of railing posts defining planar side walls and fastening bases, clamp fastening openings formed from side wall to side wall through the posts, clamp units secured on opposite sides of the posts, by fastenings passing through the clamp fastening openings, and, glass panels supported by the clamp units between the posts.
RAILING ANCHOR PIN AND RAILING
An anchor pin support for a post is provided. A central shaft has a flared base at an end of the central shaft. First and second arms extend upward from a top of the central shaft and define a gap therebetween. Each of the first and second arms having at least two sets of aligned holes, each shaped to receive a connector. An I-beam has two arms and a web, the web shaped to insert into the gap, the web of the I-beam having at least one hole. A connector is insertable into the first set of aligned holes of the anchor pin and one of the holes of the web of the I-beam to attach the anchor pin to the I-beam.
POST FOR SECURING A PANEL, AND FRENCH-STYLE BALCONY, PRIVACY SCREEN OR SUNSHADE COMPRISING SUCH A POST
A post for securing a panel (1) includes a base (5), having two faces (5a, 5b) which are substantially orthogonal with respect to each other. The base has one face (5a) which is parallel to the plane of the panel (1), having a linear compression seal (13) at its free end, and one face (5b) which is orthogonal to the plane of the panel (1). The base has a flap (7), articulated with respect to the base (5) at the free end of the face (5b) which is orthogonal to the plane of the panel (1), carrying a complementary linear compression seal (13) at its end opposite to the articulation (51, 71), and a wedge (9), having an insert (11), inserted at the level of the articulation (51, 71) between the base (5) and the flap (7) in the assembled state which, when inserted, locks articulation (51, 71) in a position clamping the panel (1).
Panel clip and method for installation
A multi-component installation clip and method for installation of panel components. The multi-component installation clip includes a base member, a first clipping member and a second clipping member. Each of the first and second clipping members have clipping features. The first clipping feature and the second clipping feature are configured to engage each other and induce rotation as the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion are drawn together. The rotation induced is a pivoting of the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion about the center axis in a direction toward each other to grip a panel component. A second attachment portion includes an attachment feature arranged and disposed to engage a receiving portion of the base member.
Lever spigot for glass railing system
An apparatus includes an elongated body and a lever. The body has a base configured to mount on a surface. The body includes a slot configured to extend substantially perpendicular to the surface and a channel in communication with the slot. The lever is disposed in the channel and comprises a cam head pivotally connected to the body proximate a bottom of the channel and an end configured to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein the end is disposed proximate a top of the channel in the closed position. The cam head comprises a first surface that does not extend into the slot when the end is in the open position and a second surface that extends into the slot when the end is in the closed position. A system and method configured for mounting a panel to a surface are also described.
VERTICAL RAILING
A railing system is depicted that includes a top rail, a spacer positioned adjacent the top rail, a bracket configured to be connected to a support post, a cross-pin configured to secure the spacer to the support post, a bottom rail, and a plurality of balusters extending between the top rail and the bottom rail.
