Abstract: A fence splice cover assembly includes a first cover portion and a second cover portion that, when assembled, enclose a portion of fence that has been joined by a plurality of splices. A fastener is used to connect the first cover portion to the second cover portion. The first and/or second cover portions can include channels configured to receive the fence portion joined by the plurality of splices. The first and second cover portions can be identical and situated in a mirror image location when assembled.

Abstract: A display having two upstanding side panels hinged to opposite vertical edges of an upstanding front panel, the side panels having inwardly folded rear edges. A foot member coupled to lower corners of the junctions of the front panel with the side panels fix the position of the side panels relative to the front panel. Tabs located along the edges of a shelf are inserted into slots located in the front panel and the side panels to fix the position of the shelf. The slots are defined by a pair of horizontal slits cut in the upstanding panels to define a band of material between the pair of slits, the band of material being displaced inwardly to form a slot for receiving a corresponding tab. A foot member can be coupled to each of the lower corners defined by the junctions of a back panel with the side panels to fix the position of the back panel relative to the side panels. Caster assemblies on downward facing surfaces of the foot members facilitate movement of the display.

Abstract: A termination bracket that can be used with a wire and polymer composite ribbon fencing has a longitudinal channel member including a first main surface and a pair of outwardly protruding sides extending along opposite edges. A clasp member extends laterally at least part way between the two sides. The clasp member defines at least one opening, each opening receiving a vice element adapted to capture an end of a longitudinally extending polymer composite fencing element. The wire and polymer composite ribbon has a width substantially equal to the spacing between the outwardly protruding sides.

Abstract: A desk chair mat has a substantially planar upper surface suitable for interaction with a chair support structure, a perimeter defining an outer edge of the mat, a lower surface parallel to the upper surface. An array of generally blunt projections extends downwardly from a first area of the lower surface for engagement with a carpet. An image is formed within a second area of the lower surface. Each blunt projection has a smooth end surface spaced below the lower surface by a distance sufficient to penetrate into the carpet pile. The array is generally a regular pattern of the projections that can be arranged at an angle with respect to each nearest neighbor to provide enhanced resistance to lateral movement of the mat with respect to the carpet to protect the image from abrasion.

Abstract: An environmental strip curtain holding apparatus for suspending a plurality of flexible transparent strips forming a curtain includes a bar suitable for mounting to fixed structure adjacent to a location requiring the presence of a strip curtain. A plurality of pegs are coupled to the bar, each peg including a stalk extending outwardly from the bar. A cap is fixed to a distal end of the stalk spaced by a pre-selected distance from the bar. Each cap is generally symmetric with respect to the stalk to which the cap is fixed and has an outermost edge that is ovate to circular. The outermost edge of the cap is sized greater than the stalk to which the cap is fixed and greater than supporting holes in the strips forming the strip curtain.

Abstract: A margin highlighter is fixed to a strip curtain-holding apparatus and positioned adjacent to one of the lateral or upper margins. The margin highlighter including a luminescent agent in sufficient concentration to provide a visible light emission in the event of lighting failure, the luminescent agent having a color in the range of about 500 to 650 nm.

Abstract: A desk chair mat has a substantially planar upper surface suitable for interaction with a chair support structure, a perimeter defining an outer edge of the mat, a lower surface parallel to the upper surface. An array of blunt projections extends downwardly from the lower surface for engagement with a carpet. Each blunt projection has a smooth end surface spaced below the lower surface by a distance sufficient to penetrate into the carpet pile. The array is generally a regular pattern of the blunt projections arranged at an angle with respect to each nearest neighbor to provide resistance to any lateral movement of the mat with respect to the carpet.

Abstract: A display rack includes a plurality of vertical rods having lower and upper ends. A plurality of inwardly directed arms have inner ends and have outer ends that are connected adjacent to the upper ends of the vertical rods. A core member joins the inner ends of the inwardly directed arms together. At least one horizontal loop is fixed adjacent to outer ends of the inwardly directed arms. Apparatus can maintain the lower ends of the vertical rods in fixed relation to each other. Each horizontal loop can include a plurality of downwardly depending hooks. Desk chair mats can be suspended from the horizontal loop, preferably by the hooks. An upstanding cylindrical graphics-bearing surface can be supported upon the inwardly directed arms. The rack can be supported on a rotatable base.

Abstract: Webbing for use in fencing includes a plurality of longitudinally extending and substantially vertically aligned high-tensile strength core members including at least one electrically conductive wire. A solid plastic sheath encases each of the core members and a plurality of plastic webs extends between adjacent pairs of core members. The plastic sheath, which encases the electrically conductive wire core member, includes sufficient electrically conductive filler to permit passage of electrical charges from the electrically conductive wire to an outer surface of the sheath. The plastic sheath encasing the electrically conductive wire core member can have a color contrasting with the plurality of plastic webs. The webbing outer surface has a pattern of ridges or grooves arranged to simulate a weathered wood surface.
