SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ACCESSIBLE BELT GUARD
The system and methods described herein provide a fan belt guard housing configured to contain a fan belt of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit. The fan belt guard housing includes a frame having a first lateral strut, a first flange extending from the first lateral strut, and a second flange extending from the first lateral strut, where the first flange is offset from the second flange to define a gap therebetween. The fan belt guard housing also includes an access panel configured to removably couple to the frame, where the access panel includes a cutout formed in an outer edge of the access panel, and the cutout is configured to align with the second flange of the frame such that the access panel can then slide along the first flange to position the outer edge of the access panel within the gap and capture the access panel between the first flange and the second flange in an installed configuration of the access panel.

Burn barrier unit for use between gas containers
A burn barrier unit used between gas canisters in a work area. The unit has two spaced-apart panels defining a side opening. First, second, and third flap portions of the two panels are bent 90 degrees and are overlapped and welded together to form a closed top and bottom unit. Optionally, the first and second flap portions of the panels are bent 180 degrees inwardly of the panels and the third flap portions of the panels are overlapped and welded together to form an opened top and bottom burn barrier unit. An anchor bar is welded in the side opening and has spaced-apart slots for securing an anchor element, which securely positions the unit in place between the gas canisters. The unit meets OSHA standards, is at least five feet high, and is made of carbon steel with fire resistant capabilities. Methods for forming the unit are also disclosed.

FOLDABLE MOVABLE UNIT FOR TREATMENT OF PRODUCTS
Provided herein is a foldable movable device for the treatment of products. The device includes a structure having a base, a framework and panels, where the framework is upwardly fixed to the base and the panels being mounted to the framework. The device further includes an automation, fixed to the structure, that comprises a robotic arm and a tool, fixed at the robotic arm, that is suitable for gripping the products. The panels are articulately mounted on the framework, in order to be moved from a folded configuration of the device to a deployed configuration, and reversely.
Fall protection system
A fall protection system includes a substantially vertical guardrail post defining a first post side and a second post side; a lateral safety guardrail extending substantially horizontally from the guardrail post; and a pillar attachment assembly comprising a pillar attachment device and a flexible pillar attachment strap, the pillar attachment device mounted to the first post side of the guardrail post, and the flexible pillar attachment strap extending substantially horizontally from the pillar attachment device and configured to wrap around a structural component, wherein a free end of the pillar attachment strap opposite the pillar attachment device is releasably secured to the guardrail post.
SHAFT GUARD FOR A MACHINE
A shaft guard for a machine includes a base that has a mounting segment configured to be secured to a stationary part of the machine and a longitudinal segment that extends outwardly from the mounting segment and terminates at a distal end thereof. The longitudinal segment has first non-helical threads on a portion thereof. The shaft guard includes a shaft cover that extends longitudinally from a connection end to a free end thereof. The shaft cover has a second non-helical threads on a portion thereof. One or more of the first non-helical threads engage respective ones of the second non-helical threads to secure the shaft cover to the base.

COVERING DEVICE FOR AN APPARATUS FOR FEEDING BARS TO A MACHINE TOOL
Covering device suitable for an apparatus for feeding bars to a machine tool, includes: a support frame, rotatably connectable, by first hinge elements, to a frame structure of the feeding apparatus, a cover element rotatably connected, by second hinge elements, to the support frame. The first hinge elements and the second hinge elements are arranged on respective longitudinal sides, opposite one another, of the support frame and are configured to enable the covering device to be opened, at will, both from one side and the other side of the feeding apparatus. On the cover element a slit opening is obtained that extends longitudinally, configured to enable bars to move from external auxiliary storage to a drum of the feeding apparatus.
