  • Patent number: 11613907
    Abstract: A temporary fencing assembly comprises a plurality of rectangular fence panels formed from fiberglass supported between fiberglass posts pivotally supported on a base formed from fiberglass. Each post includes two sets of vertically aligned hinge pins or hinge pin receivers projecting outward from opposite sides of the post. The fence panels are formed from rectangular, fiberglass tubing formed into a rectangular frame, each panel including a pair of side rails, a top rail and a bottom rail. The base includes a mounting stud welded to a mounting stud base. Two fiberglass T-posts are secured to the mounting stud base with legs of the T-posts extending under and covering a web of the mounting stud base.

  • Patent number: 11047149
    Abstract: Fence assemblies are assembled from T-posts and crossmembers which may comprise rails formed from C-channels. The T-posts and rails are formed from pultruded fiberglass and can be connected together using bolts and nuts or push rivets. Cross members comprising wires or pultruded, fiberglass tubes may also be used.

  • Patent number: 10568276
    Abstract: A raised-bed planter structure includes a plurality of elongated, horizontally extending bed panels secured to elongated, vertically extending joint members to form a close sided structure open at a top and bottom. Each bed panel includes elongated planar edge flanges joined by a longitudinally extending arched center section. The bed panels are constructed from a fiber reinforced resin and formed using a pultrusion process. The bed panels are secured to the joint members by fasteners which extend through ends of the edge flanges. The assembled planter bed structure is positioned at a desired location in a landscape and filled with soil to receive and support plant life.

Each post includes two sets of vertically aligned hinge pins or hinge pin receivers projecting outward from opposite sides of the post. The fence panels are formed from rectangular, fiberglass tubing formed into a rectangular frame, each panel including a pair of side rails, a top rail and a bottom rail. Relatively closely spaced vertical rods or pickets are attached to and extend from and between the top and bottom rail of each panel. Each of the pickets may also extend through a horizontal support rail extending medially between the top and bottom rails and laterally to provide additional rigidity to the assembly.

  • Patent number: 10334792
    Abstract: A plant cage for supporting growing plants includes horizontal and vertical support rods connected by locking clips to form a cage of a desired size and shape. The locking clip includes a clamp at each end of an elongated body, with each clamp formed of two tabs extending outwardly at oblique angles, with an aperture formed in each tab for receiving a horizontal or vertical support rod. The outwardly extending tabs are resilient and flexible such that the tabs can be moved towards each other to a deflected position so that the apertures align and a support rod can be inserted, the resiliency of the material then biases the tabs away from each other when released so that the apertures become unaligned so that the inserted rod is frictionally captured by the clamp.

  • Patent number: 9754519
    Abstract: A street sign assembly is fabricated from a composite material having at least one panel for displaying indicia such as street names. Electrical conductors are embedded into the panel to permit attachment and electrical coupling of an integrated power supply module, lights and other electrical devices thereto. The integrated power supply module includes a solar panel and battery in a single weatherproof enclosure that is attachable to the panel. The battery is recharged by the solar panel and power is provided from the module through electrical leads that contact the embedded electrical conductors in the panel.

  • Publication number: 20170238474
    Abstract: A fan trellis manufactured from a composite fiber material includes a lower crossbar configured as a base for the trellis that attaches around, and is permanently affixed to, the lower ends of a series of vertical rods, securing them in a desired position. The rods extend upwardly through apertures in middle and upper crossbars that bow the vertical rods into a fan shape.

  • Patent number: 9531172
    Abstract: A board fabricated from a composite material that can be used to build a structure. Electrical conductors may be embedded into the board to distribute electric power to electrically powered devices attached to the board. The board may further comprise elongated supports that can be used to partially enclose threaded fasteners. A plurality of cavities may be formed above the supports so that a fastener head can be recessed into each cavity to allow for a relatively planar upper surface.

  • Patent number: 9286813
    Abstract: A street sign fabricated from a composite material having at least on panel for displaying indicia such as street names. Electrical conductors may be embedded into the panel to permit attachment and electrical coupling of lights and other electrical devices thereto. A battery may be installed in a hollow post supporting the panel to provide power to the electrical devices. The battery can be recharged using a solar panel mounted proximate the top of the sign.
