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 element—measured 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.
Adaptable Panel Mounting System
A panel mounting system for mounting a linear panel structure on a surface, having a plurality of posts, each having a base plate with mounting surfaces for surface attachment and a vertical extension having a lateral support beam perpendicular to a panel-receiving cross beam; first and second opposing semi-circular channels within first and second ends of the panel-receiving cross beam, wherein each channel forms a channel angle of 45 to 135 degrees relative to the lateral support beam; a hollow, circular cylindrical insert insertable into each channel; and a panel mountable between each pair of adjacent posts, each end of the panel insertable into a corresponding insert.
Fascia Mounted Railing System
A fascia mounted railing system that uses brackets that secure posts to a slab while also providing base support for a infill panels without the use of a base rail. The system does this by using a bracket to secure the posts and a second bracket that fits within the bottom of the post. This bracket has end flanges that extend outwardly from the post to support an infill panel. The infill panels can have a base treatment to conceal the face of the slab, if desired, for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition, the system has the capacity for a top railing that can be attached to the back of the posts as a grab rail, or attached to the top of the posts (with a bracket) for a top rail.
Modular Deck Apparatus
A deck apparatus for assembly with a pair of opposing brace frames interconnected by a pair opposing connector bases and a deck board top frame having a plurality of deck boards disposed thereon, the connector bases having opposing posts for being received in openings in a lower end of the opposing brace frames ends and the deck board top frame having posts for being received in an upper end of the opposing brace frames, and optionally attaching a stairs riser having a plurality of spaced-apart treads or a ramp riser for extending from a deck surface at a height to a vertically lower support surface.
Fascia mounted railing system
A fascia mounted railing system that uses brackets that secure the posts to the slab while also providing base support for the infill panels without the use of a base rail. It does this by using a bracket to secure the posts and a second bracket that fits within the bottom of the post. This bracket has end flanges that extend outwardly from the post to support an infill panel. The infill panels can have a base treatment to conceal the face of the slab, if desired, for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition, the system has the capacity for a top railing that can be attached to the back of the posts as a grab rail, or attached to the top of the posts (with a bracket) for a top rail.

A panel mounting system for mounting a linear panel structure on a surface, having a plurality of posts, each having a base plate with mounting surfaces for surface attachment and a vertical extension having a lateral support beam perpendicular to a panel-receiving cross beam; first and second opposing semi-circular channels within first and second ends of the panel-receiving cross beam, wherein each channel forms a channel angle of 45 to 135 degrees relative to the lateral support beam; a hollow, circular cylindrical insert insertable into each channel; and a panel mountable between each pair of adjacent posts, each end of the panel insertable into a corresponding insert.
SURFACE MOUNT CABLE INFILL SYSTEM
A method and a system for a cable infill system that may be used with a railing assembly for an elevated structure are provided. The cable infill system may include a first end-post fitting and a second end-post fitting, each configured to receive a tensioning fitting or a non-tensioning fitting therein for receiving a cable of the railing assembly. The first end-post fitting and the second end-post fitting may each be mounted to an outer surface of a first end-post and a second end-post of the railing assembly respectively. The cable infill system may further include one or more intermediate-post fittings and one or more corner-post fittings, each configured to be mounted on an outer surface of a intermediate-post or a corner-post of the railing assembly respectively. The cable infill system may further include a modular template to aid the installation of various fittings on the posts.
FASTENER ASSEMBLY, MESH PANEL AND BARRIER SYSTEM
A fastener assembly for mounting a panel to a framework includes an elongate flexible tie having a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a clamping block. The clamping block has a tie-receiving channel extending between an inner and an opposing outer side, and a gripper in or adjacent the tie-receiving channel for gripping the tie. The proximal end is fixable to the clamping block and, in use, the inner side of the clamping block abuts the panel and the gripper grips the tie such that tension in the tie presses the inner side of the clamping block against the panel. A mesh panel made of polymeric material and having a honeycomb shaped mesh, together with the fastener assembly, forms a barrier system for erecting a drop-protection barrier on a safety railing, scaffolding, or like framework.
PANEL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
This disclosure relates to a panel support assembly comprising a channel element and a post. In one aspect, the channel element comprises a base, a pair of flanges extending from the base defining a channel therebetween, a neck portion connecting at least one of the pair of flanges to the base, and a first catch portion. The post comprises at least one elongate slot sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the channel element, and a second catch portion co-operable with the first catch portion to form a catch mechanism to effect securement of the channel element to the post. In use, the channel of the channel element is configured to support an edge of the panel, the portion of the channel element is received and supported by the elongate slot of the post, and is secured to the post by the catch mechanism.
Rotatable Structural Bracket
In implementations, a rotatable structural bracket includes a top plate for placement in a horizontal rest position on an end of a structural section that has an internal void. The rotatable structural bracket also includes a rotatable extension for placement into the internal void of the structural section. The rotatable extension can be configured as a wedge that is rotatable out from the internal void to angle the top plate at any acute angle relative to the horizontal rest position of the top plate. The top plate and the rotatable extension are of single-piece construction, and the rotatable extension rotates relative to the structural section and internal of the structural section. The rotatable extension also encompasses an opening of the internal void at any acute angle.
