Abstract: Exemplary approaches herein provide a barbed tape and security sensor assembly. In one approach, a barbed tape and security sensor assembly includes a vibration detection system including a sensor wire and a sensor housing, the sensor wire configured to be secured to a barrier for detecting vibration in the barrier. The barbed tape and security sensor assembly further includes a barbed tape directly coupled to the sensor housing or the sensor wire by a bracket.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a support assembly including a set of channel supports directly coupled to a channel member, wherein each of the set of channel supports may include an opening receiving a rotatable member. The rotatable member may extend between each of the set of channel supports. The support assembly may further include a set of beam supports directly coupled to a beam, wherein each of the set of beam supports may engage an upper surface of a flange of the beam. Each of the set of beam supports may include an opening receiving the rotatable member, wherein the rotatable member extends between each of the set of beam supports. In some embodiments, the set of channel supports and the set of beam supports are rotatable relative to one another about a central axis of rotation extending through the rotatable member.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus including a washer coupled to a strut, the strut including an interior channel, an opening formed through an end wall, and a set of turned-in ends, wherein the washer includes an engagement surface having a set of protrusions for engaging a surface of the strut. The apparatus further includes a fastener for securing the washer to the strut, the fastener having an opening for receiving support therein. In some embodiments, the protrusions are teeth that drive into the strut material when torqued, resulting in a mechanical connection with the strut and much higher slip resistance. Further, the washer is shaped to fit around an outside of the strut, thus adding additional stability and load capacity.

In one approach, a barbed tape and security sensor assembly includes a vibration detection system including a sensor wire and a sensor housing, the sensor wire configured to be secured to a barrier for detecting vibration in the barrier. The barbed tape and security sensor assembly further includes a barbed tape directly coupled to at least one of the sensor housing and the sensor wire by a bracket.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a retrofitable brace fitting assembly. In one approach, a brace platform has a first side, a second side, and a platform slot extending inwardly from an outer edge. The brace platform further includes a post disposed on the first side of the platform for engagement with a corresponding opening in a brace fitting, and a tab disposed on the second side of the platform for engagement with a strut. To restrict rotation of the platform relative to the strut, the tab may extend into an opening of the strut for engagement with an inward turn edge of the strut, or the tab may extend along and abut an exterior surface of the strut. The brace platform may further include a reinforcement post for engagement with a threaded rod, the reinforcement post extending through a corresponding opening in the brace fitting.

Abstract: A metal framing fitting has protrusions along its length and an attaching mechanism to secure the protrusion within a channel member of a strut.

Abstract: A versatile framing system incorporates open channel members and closed tubular members. The closed tubular members provide strength, while the open channel member allows various members to be attached at an infinite number of positions along its length. The inventive system thus successfully incorporates the advantages of both open channel members and closed tubular members.

Abstract: An elevated flooring system including a plurality of panels supported above a base floor is disclosed. Each panel is constructed of a substantially flat upper member and a lower member which includes a plurality of interconnected hemispherical domes. A dome pole directly contacts and supports the upper member. Each dome is interconnected to at least two other domes by a connecting rib. The plurality of ribs creates an internal rigid structure which provides additional support and stability within the floor panel.

Abstract: A breakaway coupling to be interposed between a ground mounting post and a support post carrying a highway sign, barricade or similar highway appurtenance. The coupling has a horizontal plate on a pedestal which attaches to the mounting post and a horizontal plate on a support post mounting member which attaches to the support post. Bolts normally holding the plates together release upon vehicular impact. Use of a novel plate configuration, a gasket and roller cams enhance the structure.

Abstract: A cantilevered shelf support for installation on a vertically extending channel having a face containing a longitudinally extending slot bordered by inwardly projecting flanges. The shelf support has a mounting bracket which is aligned and bolted to the vertical channel. A support bracket having a horizontally shelf engaging surface is aligned and assembled to the mounting plate without further hardware.

Abstract: A modular frame structure having a cooperating strut coupling and a connection node coupling which permits quick assembly and release. A method is presented for preassembly of the node couplings to the connection nodes to hasten field assembly. A method is also provided for connecting a strut to connection nodes which are fixed in space by the portion of the frame structure already assembled.
