Publication number: 20090065755Abstract: A barrier is formed from at least one elongate rail and at least one vertical upright member. The elongate rail includes a web and a pair of opposed side walls which extend from the web to define a rail channel. Each upright member includes an aperture formed therein. In one implementation, a pin extending from a clip is inserted into the aperture, and the upright member, with the clip, is at least partially situated within the rail channel, wherein the clip is welded to an inside surface of the rail channel. In another implementation, a pin is inserted through the aperture, and the upright member, with the pin, is at least partially situated within the rail channel, wherein opposed ends of the pin are welded to an inside surface of the opposed side walls of the rail channel. The pin and aperture form a pivot point allowing the upright member to rotate with respect to the elongate rail. In a fence implementation, this allows the barrier to be racked in order to follow undulating terrain.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: Fortress Iron, LPInventor: Matthew Carlyle Sherstad

Patent number: 6993817Abstract: The present invention is a method of assembling fence sections using a banding machine to band an assembled fence section together so that the fence section does not fall apart as it is transferred to the site where it will be used. The fence section may be assembled at the beginning of an assembly line. The fence section may then move along the line toward the banding machine. The fence section is then banded and moved through the banding machine to be placed into a box.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Crane Plastics Company LLCInventor: John L. Swinger

Patent number: 6257559Abstract: A portable fence is practically easy and fast to be installed along the boundary of a keep-off area to restrict and entry of the unconcerned at construction or events-holding sites and is conveniently compact to carry and store due to its foldability. This fence comprises a conjunction screen formed by connecting a plurality of fence components, preferably formed of synthetic resin by blow molding, side by side through a hinge mechanism such that they are foldable to each other and a support means or stay pivotably mounted onto a lower fringe portion of said conjunction screen, and stably provides a restricted area at a site where an access of the unconcerned is restricted in an easy and fast manner and is convenient to carry and store due to its foldability. The addition of a weight container thereto further enhances the standing stability thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Yagikuma & Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akihiro Mouri

Patent number: 5944114Abstract: Devices for constraining wildfires are disclosed. The first device is a free-standing hollow structure which contains at least one lower intake duct, a vertical duct, and an upper outlet duct. This device contains curved chambers which may have baffles. This device also provides an open container for the delivery of water to the fire in the form of steam. A second device is a free-standing structure which is anchored to the ground by lines attached to spikes and supporting legs. The upper portion of the device is curved toward the fire so as to direct the fire back upon itself. There is an arcuate baffle at approximately the midpoint of the device which serves to break up the heat wave. A third device is similar to the second device in design, but is made of folding sections for ease of storage and transportation. A fourth device comprises a fire-resistant sheet which may be draped over trees or structures or may be put on the ground to form a barrier to the fire.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1998Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Inventor: Brent L.

Patent number: 4958806Abstract: A snowstorm guard fence structure is constructed by anchoring a wall, which overhangs at an upward slope to a road side, to a supporting wall disposed along one side of the road. The constructed structure can be placed on sides of roads, has a space to discard the snow removed from the road, and also is effective for preventing snow accumulation on the road regardless of the degree of wind velocity and the presence of shelter structures. A jet roof is constructed by disposing a plurality of props on a slant and providing a plurality of panels between the props at spaces for jet openings so that jet openings are gradually narrowed toward the road side. The constructed jet roof is effective for preventing snow accumulation on the road regardless of the condition of wind velocity and the presence of shelter structures.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1988Date of Patent: September 25, 1990Assignee: Nihon Samicon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Sato, Masatoshi Ono
