Abstract: A fascia mounting system for a window covering includes a bracket having a front flange with a removable spring clip at the bottom of the front flange. A fascia member of the system includes structure engaging the upper end of the flange and the spring clip at the bottom of the flange.
Abstract: An improved system, method and product are disclosed for attaching non load-bearing metal wall studs to an overhead metal track in metal stud framing systems used for wall partitioning, in a manner that allows the overhead track to deflect under load without transferring the load to the studs and any attached wall partitions. The system features compression spring attachment products that frictionally engage overlapping flange portions of the track and studs so that any overhead load-induced movements of the track are not transferred from the track to the studs, or to any wall partitions attached to the studs.
Abstract: A wall panel system having a wall panel frame and three-dimensional cover tiles is provided. Such cover tiles overlie an open interior frame region and demountably engage the panel frame. These cover tiles are provided with a relatively shallow thickness but are formed with various formations including storage pockets and the like which allow office items and other articles to be stored directly in the cover tile as opposed to add-on components which mount over the face of a conventional planar cover tile.
Abstract: Protector shoe (10) is positioned between the loop (49) formed in a tie down strap (46) and the adjacent support plate (36, 38). The mounting flange (24) extends about a first edge (40) of the support plate (36) and the middle strip (28) of the tail (22) is folded about the second edge (41) either by the installer or by the application of the loop of the tie down strap urging it toward engagement with and about the second edge (41) of the support plate. This protects the tie down strap from abrasion against the edges (40 and 41) of the support plate (36) of the support beam (12).
Abstract: A removable support structure for concrete slab fabrication is described. A horizontally length adjustable latch device may be secured to both ends of shoring girders or shoring beams, or to just one end with a fixed in place latch secured at the other end, to permit rapid and accurate placement of the shoring support across a span to be structured in concrete. Vertical shoring posts and supports are eliminated, with the added advantage of the plane of the shoring always being automatically in the plane of the floor being formed. Bearing shoes on the ends of corrugated deck members, secured to building girders, cooperate with straps at their other ends, accurately and securely positions the corrugated decking in place. After the concrete has hardened, the entire support structure, including the shoring girders, shoring beams, and corrugated deck members, are rapidly and efficiently removed, ready for re-use.
Abstract: Disclosed is an otherwise conventional wood molding that has a keyhole slot milled along its length on the mounting side thereof. Special mounting plates are attached to the wall via nails or other fasteners and include a specially designed key protrusion that mate with the keyhole slot. Inserting the key into the keyhole slot, the molding can be attached to and removed from the wall quickly, easily and repetitively without damaging either the molding or the wall.

Abstract: A buckstay stirrup for a steam generator is formed from a single plate, requiring only cutting and bending. The plate after cutting is bent to form two angled support portions (24) and a central portion (20). The outboard section (22) of the intermediate portion is cut (32) so that it extends inwardly to engage the inner edge of a buckstay, which is in the form of an I-beam. The central intermediate portion (20) is formed to be located inwardly of the outboard portion and contains an accordian fold (30) to permit the shortening which occurs during the bending. The two intermediate portions (20,22) are in parallel planes spaced to accept the buckstay flange therebetween.
