Abstract: Our invention describes a fire protection system for a structure, such as a building, which may be operable as desired, or found necessary, by a building tenant, to protect against the possibility of a building fire or to extinguish a fire already occurring. Our system comprises a source of water which supplies water to a holding tank positioned near the structure, an electrically operable pump component connected to the holding tank and to a multiplicity of sprinkler members positioned at convenient locations on or in the structure. Sprinklers are intended to be mounted on the most convenient positions on the roof or sides of a building. Preferably, when mounted on the roof, sprinklers are to be connected to water supply lines positioned on the interior of the structure, when possible, for better appearance, and, for buildings having limited space below the roof, sprinklers are mounted on a fake ridge support system with water lines below the ridge system.

Abstract: A fender guard associated with and protecting the fenders mounted on a utility type trailer or similar vehicle. The fender guard includes a plurality of generally parallel, laterally spaced rails or frame members that overlie the upper surface of a fender with downwardly and outwardly inclined end portions forming a continuation of the rails or frame members having an attaching bracket at the lower end thereof for mounting on the trailer frame or other rigid component of the trailer. The rails or frame members which overlie the fender are also connected to the fender to provide protection for the fender from heavy objects coming into contact with the fender and also provides a surface on which a person can stand when performing various functions associated with loading and unloading a trailer. The fender guard saves the fenders from damage due to individuals standing on the fenders or hitting the fenders with various loads, equipment and the like.
