A finishing accessory (1A) includes a deformable finishing profile (10) and at least one blocking part (P2A). The finishing profile (10) is suitable for making up a finishing transition between two surfaces (S1; S2), and includes two rigid wings (100; 101) that extend lengthwise parallel to a longitudinal axis (A), which are spaced from one another and which are intended to be in contact respectively with the two surfaces (S1; S2) to be connected, and a flexible hinge (102) that extends lengthwise parallel to said longitudinal axis (A), which is, at least in part, positioned between the two wings (100; 101), and which connects the two wings to one another while allowing a rotation of the two wings (100; 101) relative to one another in a plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A). Said blocking part (P2A) includes an adjusting shim (20a), which extends lengthwise and which, once inserted into a longitudinal groove (103) of the finishing profile, is adapted to block the two wings (100; 101).

PORTABLE RESILIENT FLOATING FENCING FLOOR SYSTEM
20180010343 · 2018-01-11 ·

A portable fencing track that is readily assembled and disassembled at different venues includes a series of modular panels disposed adjacent to one another and interconnected to form an elongated central fencing floor. A piste or strip of electrically conductive material is placed and positioned with respect to the elongated central floor, and a perimeter floor is arranged so as to surround the central floor and the piste or strip. A threshold, preferably adjoining each of the modular panels located adjacent to the perimeter flooring, has lateral and end sections overlying adjacent portions of the strip and the perimeter floor, and at least one of the threshold sections defines a channel to receive wiring. Support elements are mounted to each of the floor panels and the perimeter floor to resiliency support the floor panels and the perimeter floor on a base surface and minimize damage over time to the ankles or hips of fencers. A process of assembling the track is also discussed.

A system comprising a first baseboard element, a second baseboard element, and a spline configured to couple with the first baseboard element and the second baseboard element. Another system comprising a first crown element, a second crown element, and a spline configured to couple with the first crown element and the second crown element. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

LOCKING CONNECTION ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING METHOD
20220412100 · 2022-12-29 ·

A snap-fit connection arrangement includes groove and tongue strips respectively having a groove and tongue, and first and second attachment regions for placement along first and second components, respectively. The groove and tongue strips respectively extend in first and second longitudinal directions transversely to their respective cross sections. Cross-sectional contours of the tongue and the groove correspond to each other through use of latching elements so that a snap-fit connection can be established as the tongue is inserted in a joining direction into the groove. The snap-fit connection allows for relative movement between the tongue and groove strips along at least one of the longitudinal directions and prevents relative movement between the tongue and groove strips transversely to at least one of the longitudinal directions. The tongue includes a latching recess comprising an undercut that extends along and within the tongue and is configured for latching engagement with a rib.
