Patent number: 7430833Abstract: A universal rake-ridge cap for a gable roof design that includes a first surface, a second surface, and at least one stepped arcuate surface intersecting the first surface and the second surface. The universal rake-ridge cap is employed to conceal any gap at the junction of two rake boards in a gable roof design. The universal rake ridge cap can be cut so that the arcuate surface will tangentially intersect the stepped surfaces of rake members to provide an aesthetically pleasing transition from rake board to universal rake-ridge cap to rake board. The universal rake-ridge cap can quickly be fitted to any gable roof pitch simply by culling the universal rake-ridge cap to the angle or pitch required by the gable roof. No special tools are needed and the final result is both aesthetically pleasing as well as a significant time saver.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: PN II, Inc.Inventor: William J.

Patent number: 6848232Abstract: A casting tool for forming precast concrete wall sections. A base is disposed generally in a horizontal plane and has an upper surface. A pair of opposing sidewalls are disposed proximate the upper surface. Each of the sidewalls has a first position in which the sidewall is located substantially in a vertical plane. First and second opposing bulkheads are disposed proximate the upper surface, each having a respective first position in which the bulkhead is located substantially in a vertical plane. The bulkheads are arranged to abut the pair of opposing sidewalls so that the inner surfaces of the sidewalls, the bulkheads, and the upper surface of the base define a form for receiving concrete to make the precast concrete wall section. The first bulkhead is configured for movement so as to vary a first dimension of the form, and thus the dimension of the concrete wall section.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: PN II, Inc.Inventors: William J. Pulte, Lawrence J. Wrass, Robert P. Broad
