  • Publication number: 20060202183
    Abstract: A post and railing construction permits construction of fences and railings from parts which are pre-molded from a resinous material such as rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The parts require no painting and are not prone to corrosion or rust when exposed to harsh environments. The posts have a rigid upright core element with a hollow shell mounted on the core element by one or more frames. In one embodiment of the invention, railings are supported on brackets mounted on the frames of the posts. In another embodiment of the invention, railings are supported directly on the frames of the posts by routed openings in the hollow shell. The present invention also provides an easy to assemble fence assembly having the appearance and style of a picket fence. Exterior fasteners may be covered with optional caps to avoid direct exposure to damaging elements, such as moisture.

  • Patent number: 4349865
    Abstract: An adjustable lamp mounting assembly for two lamps 12, 12A, which are each connected to a body 10 by a pair of arcuate rods 14. The arcuate rods 14 of lamp 12 each fit snugly into one of a pair of slots 16 formed in a face 18 of the body 10. The rods are retained in the slots 16 against the ends of the slots by a single resilient spring strip 20, which lies on the opposite side of the face 18 to the lamp 12. The resilience of the spring strip 20 holds the arcuate rods 14 against the ends of the slots. The arcuate members 14 can slide in the slots 16, in the direction shown by arrow 26 to rotate the lamp 12. The arcuate rods 14 are connected to the lamp 12 by a pair of housings 22, and the lamp 12 is mounted to turn about bearings in the housings 22 about the pivot axis 24.
