Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for anchoring a retractable netting system in a vertical orientation relative to a shelving assembly. A retractable netting system includes a frame assembly onto which a net is operatively connected. Cables attached to opposing ends of a draw bar member may be pulled and released to raise and lower the net.

Abstract: A shelf assembly includes at least one shelf supported by vertical posts, and a net having opposite sides connected to respective posts so that the net spans at least one edge of the shelf and an associated area above the shelf.

Abstract: The present invention is a netting system (10) for use with bleachers and grandstands (11) to prevent children, persons, and debris from falling to the ground. A first end (12a) of a net (12) is operatively connected to a cable (18) proximate an attachment point (11a) proximate the top of the bleachers (11). Then, a second end (12b) of the net (12) is passed over the understructure (11c) of the bleachers (11) and then operatively connected to a cable (25) proximate an attachment point (11b) proximate the bottom of the bleachers (11).

Abstract: A retractable barrier assembly is selectively deployed to span an aisle bounded on at least one side by a shelf unit. More specifically, a net is preferably movable between a storage position, off the floor and free of the aisle, and a deployed position, extending across the aisle. A container is preferably provided to support a first end of the net and house the net when in its storage position.

Abstract: A shelf assembly includes vertical posts and horizontal shelf supports that are configured and arranged to define at least one shelf space extending upward beyond upper distal ends of the posts. Net supports are connected to the posts in a manner that supports the net in a position spanning at least one edge of the shelf space.

Abstract: An adjustable safety net assembly includes a netting panel capable of spanning a first area, and net adjusters which reconfigure the netting panel for purposes of spanning a second, relatively smaller area.

Abstract: A safety net identifier employs an identifier filament which is woven, laced, twisted or otherwise incorporated with the cords of the safety net. The identifier filament is impervious to ultraviolet resistant coating so that the safety net does not appear exteriorly distinguishable from other nets which do not employ the identifier. In one embodiment, the filament comprises a folded ribbon which is imprinted with the net manufacturer and other pertinent information concerning the safety net.

Abstract: A pile cutter support comprises a pair of sections which engage opposing faces of a pile. Platforms integrally extend from the engagement portions in a generally perpendicular relationship so as to form a guide and a support for a cutter. The sections are pivotal between a deployed position wherein the sections are engageable against adjacent faces of the pile and a folded compact carrying mode. A ratchet belt is employed to secure the support at a fixed vertical position of the pile.

Abstract: An adjustable safety guard assembly for a conveyor. The conveyor guard has frame modules which can be adapted to guard conveyors having a variety of configurations. The frame modules are mounted adjacent a conveyor, and are linked together by cables from which guard nets are suspended.

Abstract: A universal safety net system for a pallet rack employs extension members which are variably adjustable for extending the effective height of the pallet rack support posts. Offset members which include a series of openings for implementing a pre-established offset spacing from the pallet rack are also employed. Adjustable cross brace assemblies are employed to reinforce the offset members and the vertical extender members. Cables are suspended between the offset members and/or extension members to provide a cable framework for supporting the safety net.

Abstract: A safety restraint device, such as worn by a worker for preventing falls, employs a sliding D-shaped ring which is mounted to the safety lanyard. The releasable snap hook of the safety lanyard may be engaged in the sliding D-ring to secure the safety lanyard to a fixed object.

Abstract: A perimeter debris net lifting system employs a plurality of lifting units which support a debris net for a high rise-type construction structure. The lifting units comprise a pair of frame assemblies which are slidably coupled and essentially scale the structure to raise the debris net as construction progresses. Each of the frame assemblies are independently mountable to two floors of the structure. Each lifting unit is vertically displaced by disengaging one of the frame assemblies from its mounting engagement and lifting the frame assembly while the other frame assembly remains securely fixed to the structure. The debris net remains fully extended and functional during the vertical lifting process.

Abstract: A debris barrier for a high rise construction structure comprises a woven flexible mesh netting. A cord longitudinally extends along the top of the netting to form a reinforced border. The top of the netting is clipped to a safety cable so as to vertically suspend a portion of the netting. An anchoring strip is fastened to the netting. The netting is anchored to the floor slab by driving fasteners through the anchoring strip.
