Patent number: 6752438Abstract: An adjustable gate hinge and an adjustable latch unit each provide for adjustment of a fence gate. The hinge interconnects the gate to a first post of the fence. The hinge supports the gate and permits pivoting movement of the gate relative to the first fence post. The latch unit secures the gate, to a second post of the fence, in a closed position of the gate. The hinge and the latch unit are usable together in a system. As such, the system has the feature that at least one of the hinge and the gate unit has an arrangement to permit adjustment of the gate relative to the fence in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the fence. The arrangement includes two components that are relatively movable along the direction perpendicular to a plane of the fence and that are secured to each other subsequent to the movement along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the fence.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2001Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: U.S. Fence, LLCInventor: Joseph DeSouza

Patent number: 6478287Abstract: A fence panel is constructed from extruded hollow polyvinyl plastic boards. The boards are arranged with vertical end boards and filler boards between the end boards. Three horizontal rails each have a board on each side of the vertical boards with a horizontal filler board between the top rail boards to seal off the upper ends of the vertical boards. All of the boards are secured together with a plastic adhesive without the use of any mechanical fasteners.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2001Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: U.S. Fence, LLCInventor: Joseph DeSouza

Patent number: 6398193Abstract: A fence unit extending between vertical posts in formed using extruded plastic top, middle and bottom rails resting on hangers attached to the posts. Each of the rails as parallel side walls as well as top and bottom walls and a pair of internal wall portions extending between the side wall portions. A reinforced member in the form of a channel extends through each of the rails between the internal wall portions. The bottom rail has the top all cut away to form a groove while the top rail has the bottom wall cut away to form a groove and the middle rail has both the top and bottom rails cut away in a similar manner. The assembly then includes boards or panels adapted to fit between the top and middle rails and the middle bottom rails and extending into the grooves to abut the adjacent internal wall portions and screw fasteners extend into the rail portions to hold the assembly together as a unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1999Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: U.S. Fence, LLCInventor: Joseph DeSouza

Patent number: 6290214Abstract: A post and rail assembly uses a channel shaped bracket to secure the rails to the post. The bracket has a channel bottom portion which is attached directly by fasteners to a flattened portion on the post and two rail ends abut each other and are received within the channel. The channel has extensions along the back vertical surface of the rails with fasteners extending through these extensions horizontally into the rail and other fasteners extend from the top and bottom flanges of the channel vertically into the rail ends which cover the fasteners holding the bracket to the post.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1999Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignee: U.S. Fence, LLCInventor: Joseph DeSouza

Patent number: 5771646Abstract: A wood railing assembly is attached to the top of a wood deck having rim joists and top deck boards. The railing has vertical posts and horizontal rails mounting spindles, and all of the posts are notched at the bottom. The corner post is attached by the use of a bracket extending all the way around the bottom end portion of the post with flanges extending on the outer surface of the rim joists. Lag screws extend through the bottom end through the bracket, with some of the lag screws extending through the post end of the joists and other lag screws extending directly into the joists to clamp the bracket in place. The side post uses a bracket assembly having an outer channel having a face and sides that enclose the exposed portion of the bottom end and receive machine screws extending through the plate, the lower end, the joists, and through a backing plate, where suitable nuts are used to clamp the assembly together as a unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1997Date of Patent: June 30, 1998Inventor: Joseph DeSouza

Patent number: 5572845Abstract: A wood railing assembly for use between vertical posts which may be attached to a wood deck, utilizes top and bottom rails together with a middle rail. The balusters include top, middle and bottom zones having non-circular cross-sections and the middle rail has matching openings. The top and bottom rails have grooves facing the middle rail and a lattice strip is secured to the ends of the balusters and fits within the groove on the rail and suitable fasteners produce a unitary assembly. The assembly is constructed using the middle rail as a template for positioning the balusters on top and bottom lattice strips which then fit within the grooves on the top and bottom rails.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1994Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Assignee: Action Sales and Marketing, Inc.Inventor: Joseph DeSouza
