FENCE SYSTEM
A fence system includes posts, links and fasteners. Once assembled, the fasteners extend through holes of the posts, and each of the fasteners can couple a first end of a first one of the links to a second end of a second one of the links to secure the links to the respective post. Each of the fasteners can apply a clamping force that urges the second end of the second one of the links towards the respective post to bear against the first end of the first one of the links.
Fence devices
An example detachable device comprises a body with a transitional surface, a back portion, and a side portion. The body is to be affixed to a rail of a fence structure with the back portion in proximity to a surface of the rail. The side portion of the body is to be arranged proximate to a post portion of the fence structure.
Fence stake
A fence stake includes a horizontal rod and a plurality of vertical rods attached to the horizontal rod or integrally formed with the horizontal rod. The plurality of vertical rods includes a set of capped rods and a set of capless rods. The set of capped rods and the set of capless rods alternate along the horizontal rod. Each capped rod includes a body portion, a cap tapering into the body portion, and a tapered end. The tapered end of the capped rod is a sharp end in one implementation. The plurality of vertical rods is perpendicular to the horizontal rod. A plurality of vertical rods includes rods of the same length. The rods are in the shape of a cylinder, a prism, a triangular prism or an oval prism, and made of metal or synthetic materials.
Panel systems and components
A panel assembly includes two frame members and a plurality of panels extending between the frame members. Each panel has fastening elements at either end. The fastening elements are arranged to clip onto mating portions of the frame members, and are also arranged to frictionally engage internal surfaces of the panels to thereby hold the panels relative to the frame members.
MODULAR FENCING SYSTEM
A modular fencing system comprises two or more substantially vertical posts, one or more panels, and one or more track members. Each of the posts comprises abase and an upright member extending from the base. The upright member comprises a plurality of surfaces, and at least one of the surfaces defines a channel. Each of the track members comprises an attachment portion configured to engage within the channel and a receiving portion configured to engage with one or more of the panels.
Barrier with cable system
A protective barrier includes a first end piece including a first opening and a first anchoring member for securing the first end piece to a surface, a second end piece including a second opening and a second anchoring member for securing the second end piece to the surface, a rail extending between the first end piece and the second end piece, the rail having a first end disposed in the first opening of the first end piece and a second end disposed in the second opening of the second end piece, and a cable system including a first fastener coupled to the first anchoring member, a second fastener coupled to the second anchoring member, and a cable having a first end attached to the first fastener and a second attached to the second fastener, the cable extending from the first fastener, through the first opening, through the rail, through the second opening, and to the second fastener.
Barrier with cable system
A protective barrier includes a first end piece including a first opening and a first anchoring member for securing the first end piece to a surface, a second end piece including a second opening and a second anchoring member for securing the second end piece to the surface, a rail extending between the first end piece and the second end piece, the rail having a first end disposed in the first opening of the first end piece and a second end disposed in the second opening of the second end piece, and a cable system including a first fastener coupled to the first anchoring member, a second fastener coupled to the second anchoring member, and a cable having a first end attached to the first fastener and a second attached to the second fastener, the cable extending from the first fastener, through the first opening, through the rail, through the second opening, and to the second fastener.
Prefabricated modular fencing with advantageously-shaped connectors
A prefabricated modular fencing system comprises first and second fence panels, each panel having opposing side ends. Each side end carries outboard connectors. The connectors have upper sides defining one of a concavity and a convexity and have lower sides defining the other of a concavity and a convexity, and the connectors define a bore within each convexity. The convexity of a connector carried by the first fence panel may be complementary with and interfitted within the concavity of another connector carried by the second fence panel, to assemble the first and second fence panels together. A post is disposed through the bores of interfitted connectors.
LENGTH ADJUSTABLE RAILING PANEL WITH REMOVABLE UPRIGHT END RAILS
A railing panel includes a top rail and a bottom rail disposed spaced apart from the top rail. A plurality of slats are disposed between and run parallel to the top rail and the bottom rail. A midspan support rail defines a plurality of through holes, with each through hole receiving a slat therethrough. A length adapter includes an upright end rail that defines a plurality of apertures, and an upper insertable portion that is disposed at a first end of the upright end rail. The length adapter also includes a lower insertable portion that is disposed at a second end of the upright end rail opposite the first end, and each of the plurality of apertures is sized and shaped to receive an end of each of the plurality of slats. A plurality of inserts are coupled to the upright end rail, with each insert disposed proximate a respective aperture of the plurality of apertures, each insert configured to be received by a respective slat.
Wood-to-Metal Post Clamp with Adjustable Rail Bracket Angle (WTMPCWARBA), Set A, B & C
Wood-to-Metal Post Clamp with Adjustable Rail Bracket Angle (WTMPCWARBA), Set (A, B and C) comprised of two Galvanized Carriage Bolts and nuts; and 4 pieces of punched and press-formed from sheet metal (preferably galvanized); Two pieces formed as pipe clamping mechanism and two pieces as rail bracket to be connected to two wooden fence frame members (rails are 2×4s) to an elongated pipe member.
These designs allow adjusting the angle of the rail brackets easily, independently and properly, based on land topology and property boundary path, and at the same time create a sturdy and durable wood-to-pipe connection ideal for hillsides.
Moreover, this invention minimizes the overall fence footprint by a minimum of 1.5 inches (thickness of rail), and at the same time accommodates pickets to be installed continuously without a gap near the round posts/pipes.
This invention has 3 variations (Set A, B and C) to address different scenarios and needs, and can be used in connecting fence rails at ends (first or last posts), corners, straight as well as non-straight and sloping borders. These sets have been designed principally to connect wooden fence frame members to 2⅜ inch metal posts/pipes, suitable for hillside. However, it could be used for other applications as well. The present invention might be better understood from the following drawings and their descriptions.
