  • Patent number: 8393117
    Abstract: Building means, having a main plate 1, a flexible sheet 2 attached thereto, a first bolt portion 4 extending outwards of the plate 1 and an opposite second bolt portion 5 extending outwards of the plate. The building means formed such that when it is in use a structural member can be fastened to the first bolt 4 portion while at the same time the plate 1 is arranged behind exterior cladding 8 of a building. A ledge 2a, after it has been bent into shape, extends to beyond the cladding so that rainwater contacting the first face of the plate portion can run down the first face and be guided by the ledge to a drain away position in front of the cladding.

  • Patent number: 6568657
    Abstract: A hand rail support 1, having a substantially cylindrical shaped containment portion 2, a face plate 3, and a flange 4. The face plate 3 and the flange 4 facilitate securing the hand rail support 1 to a building construction. The containment portion 2 can receive a baluster of a hand rail together with a settable substance, for example a suitable grout, so that the baluster is securely held in the containment portion.
