JOINT FOR ABOVE GROUND POOL FRAME
An above ground frame pool (10) includes a frame assembly (20) and a liner (40) supported by the frame assembly (20). The frame assembly (20) includes a plurality of horizontal pipes (22), a plurality of vertical pipes (24), and a plurality of T-shaped joints (30). The joints (30) may lack mechanical fasteners with adjacent pipes or corresponding apertures. The joints (30) may be one-piece or multi-piece structures. Such joints (30) maybe water-resistant and convenient to manufacture, assemble, disassemble, and store.
Fitting for brace member
A fitting for engaging a brace member can include a fitting body defining a body opening extending laterally therethrough, the fitting body further defining a top contact surface and a bottom contact surface; a first jaw connected to the fitting body at a proximal first jaw end, the first jaw oriented perpendicular to the body opening; a second jaw connected to the fitting body at a proximal second jaw end, a the second jaw perpendicular to the body opening and disposed between the top contact surface and the bottom contact surface, wherein the top contact surface extends between the proximal first jaw end and the proximal second jaw end; and a slot defined between the first jaw and the second jaw.
THREE-WAY SLEEVE, SUPPORTING FRAME AND TENT
A three-way sleeve includes a first sleeve, a second sleeve and a third sleeve that intersect with each other, and every two of a length direction of the first sleeve, a length direction of the second sleeve and a length direction of the third sleeve are perpendicular to each other. The first sleeve, the second sleeve and the third sleeve are each provided with an assembling through hole. At least one of an inner wall and an outer wall of the first sleeve, the second sleeve and the third sleeve are each provided with a circumferentially arranged limit protrusion. The first sleeve, the second sleeve and the third sleeve are integrally formed.
WALL MOUNTING BRACKET FOR A MOUNTING RAIL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF
Wall mounting bracket for mounting an elongate mounting rail as a cantilever arm to a wall or other supporting surface including a wall plate having mounting holes for mounting the bracket to a wall by means of male fasteners; a socket for inserting the end portion of the mounting rail, including at least two flange profiles, which at their distal end have an embracing portion to interlock with the end portion of the mounting rail thereby inhibiting movement of an inserted end portion parallel to the wall plate. At least one of the embracing portions has a fixing hole for passing through a male fastener to fix the end portion of the mounting rail to inhibit retraction of the end portion from the socket; a supporting rim within the socket, configured to interlock with the outer or inner side of the end portion of the mounting rail.
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.
SNAP PLUG FOR CABLE TRAY
A cable tray including a pair of generally parallel spaced-apart side rails, each side rail defining a plurality of openings. Rungs extend between the rails at intervals spaced along the rails. Each rung includes at least two side walls. Each rung has opposite open ends generally aligned with respective openings in the side rails. End portions of each rung define a transverse opening. A plurality of snap plug fasteners fastens the rungs to the side rails. Each snap plug fastener includes a main body abutting an outboard surface of one of the side rails. A projection extends through one of the openings in the side rail and into one of the open ends of one of the rungs. The projection includes a barb received in one of the transverse openings in the rung.
Joint for above ground pool frame
A frame pool is disclosed including a frame assembly and a pool liner, the frame assembly including horizontal frame members and a vertical frame member coupled together via a T-shaped joint. The T-shaped joint may be constructed of plastic to facilitate attachment and detachment to the adjacent frame members and to resist galling and corrosion. The T-shaped joint may also be relatively small to improve the appearance and water containment of the frame pool.
Elbow joint connector
An elbow joint connector includes an elbow portion and a locking mechanism detachably coupled to a distal end of the elbow portion. The locking mechanism including a pair of locking members translatable relative to one another along an interface transverse to a longitudinal axis of the elbow joint connector. Divergent translation of the pair of locking members relative to one another along the interface increases a portion of an outer periphery of the locking mechanism to lock the elbow portion to an adjoining member. The elbow joint connector is configured for detachable coupling to an adjoining elbow joint connector and pivotally rotatable relative thereto from a first configuration in which respective center axes of the connectors form an acute angle to a second configuration in which the respective center axes are collinear.
JOINT FOR ABOVE GROUND POOL FRAME
A frame pool is disclosed including a frame assembly and a pool liner, the frame assembly including horizontal frame members and a vertical frame member coupled together via a T-shaped joint. The T-shaped joint may be constructed of plastic to facilitate attachment and detachment to the adjacent frame members and to resist galling and corrosion. The T-shaped joint may also be relatively small to improve the appearance and water containment of the frame pool.
STORAGE CONTAINER
A storage container includes: a frame defining a storage space, the frame including a plurality of lower poles extending in a first direction at a bottom of the storage container, a plurality of first side poles coupled to the plurality of lower poles and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a plurality of second side poles coupled to the plurality of lower poles and extending in the second direction, a plurality of second upper poles coupled to the plurality of first side poles and the plurality of second side poles, and a plurality of first upper poles coupled to the plurality of second upper poles and the plurality of first side poles; a base around the frame and defining an opening; a top attached to the base; and a support member attached to the frame and connected between adjacent ones of the plurality of first upper poles.
