Patent number: 9739065Abstract: A railing attachment clip to couple a guardrail to a rail topper, the clip including left and right portions with respective surfaces contoured to match the guardrail and the rail topper, and a central portion laterally coupled to the left and right portion. The central portion separates the left and right portions by a fixed distance. The matching contoured surfaces determine a position of the railing attachment clip on the guardrail, and determine a position of the rail topper on the railing attachment clip. In some embodiments, the central portion is removed after the railing attachment clip is attached to the guardrail, but before the rail topper is attached to the railing attachment clip.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: BARRETTE OUTDOOR LIVING, INC.Inventors: Michael Matthew DeSalle, Christopher Michael Schneider, Wayne Elbert Dixon, Randall Lewis Reed

Patent number: 9677310Abstract: A self closing and adjustable closing force cam hinge includes a compression spring located on the hinge so that a hinge pin passes through the compression spring and the head of the hinge pin is retracted in a direction away from the compression spring to compress the compression spring. Compression of the spring applies a closing force to the hinge when the hinge is in the open position. The hinge also includes a spring adjuster having an adjustably positionable body that is adjustably positionable relative to the head of the hinge pin. Adjustment of the position of the adjustably positionable body raises or lowers the head of the hinge pin such that raising of the hinge pin increases compression of the compression spring to increase the closing force applied by the compression spring and lowering of the hinge decreases compression of the compression spring to decrease the closing force applied by the compression spring.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: BARRETTE OUTDOOR LIVING, INC.Inventors: Daniel Russo, Antonello Nizzia
