Patent number: 7048259Abstract: A rail bracket mounting system, including a bracket that is attached to a post. The bracket is formed to support the notching of a rail. The end of a rail is then nested into the bracket, and is supported by the bracket. The rail is then secured to the bracket by fasteners such as screws, and a cover may then be placed over the bracket, housing the securing fasteners. The rail may be hollow or solid. A hollow rail may be reinforced along its entire length by the insertion of one or more reinforcing members through a hollow portion of the rail.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2002Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Kroy Building Products, Inc.Inventors: Randy R.

Patent number: 7007363Abstract: A fence rail bracket system. The bracket system may include a bracket with an open end for receiving a fence rail, a retention clip for attaching the rail to the bracket, and a cap for covering the open end of the bracket. The bracket may attach to a wall or post and the fence rail may be slid into the open end of the bracket. The retention clip may attach the bracket to the fence rail and prevent the rail from sliding out of the bracket. The cap may be removably attached to the bracket to conceal the hardware used in the system for a more aesthetically pleasing look.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2004Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Kroy Building Products, Inc.Inventor: John T.

Patent number: 6948704Abstract: A bracket assembly for attaching rails of multiple configurations to a support structure. The bracket assembly may include a base piece having a plate with a pair of flanges extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom. An insert may be configured to fit between the flanges and within the rail to provide support to the rail. A pin may be inserted through openings in the flanges, the insert, and the rail to attach the rail to the insert and the base piece. A cover may be placed over the base piece to provide a pleasing appearance to the bracket assembly. A single sized base piece, insert, and pin may be used to connect rails of different sizes and shapes to the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Kroy Building Products, Inc.Inventors: John T.

Patent number: 6755394Abstract: A modular fence system. The system includes fence planks designed for insertion into open channels of upper and lower fence rails. The fence rails are supported in a horizontal orientation between intermittent fence posts, with the open channels facing toward a vertical direction and with the fence planks extending vertically between the rails and into the channels. The planks preferably include resilient protrusions at their upper ends. The protrusions of the planks are designed to fit into internal passages formed in the open channels of the upper fence rail, into engagement with ledges defining the passages, to inhibit inadvertent removal of the planks from the upper rail. The fence rails can also be used in a different way and in a different position, in which the open channels face toward a horizontal direction, with an elongate cap coupled to the rail to cover the open channel. Plank members are coupled to the cap such that the cap resides between the plank members and the rail.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2002Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Kroy Building Products, Inc.Inventors: John T. Forbis, Randy Quaintance, Ronald R. West

Patent number: 6682056Abstract: A mounting clip with a locking feature. The mounting clip is preferably utilized as part of a fencing system, in which the clip is attached to a fence rail and a hollow fence picket is slidably fastened to the rail using the clip. The clip features tabs that operate to lock the picket to the rail such that detachment of the picket from the rail is inhibited by an interference fit.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2000Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Kroy Building Products, Inc.Inventor: Ronald R.

Publication number: 20030101673Abstract: A deck system with a deck clip. The deck system may include deck boards in which narrow channels may be formed in opposing side edges. The deck boards may be placed side by side during construction of a deck. The deck boards may be formed of composite building materials such as mixtures of wood flour and polyethylene. A rotatable deck clip may be used to fasten the deck boards to the deck joists. The clip may have a first overhang member and a second overhang member and may be wider in a first horizontal dimension and shorter in a second, perpendicular horizontal dimension. When the clip is rotated into a first position, its first and second overhang members may extend into the channels of adjacent deck boards to hold the deck boards securely in place. Removal of the deck boards may be accomplished by rotating the clip ninety degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2002Publication date: June 5, 2003Applicant: Kroy Building Products, Inc.Inventors: Ronald R.
