  • Patent number: 11781337
    Abstract: The present invention teaches an apparatus, system, and method for hanging or supporting lumber or similar materials using standard metal t-post which can be used to construct fences or outdoor structures. A first iteration, incorporating fence bracket disclosed herein, eliminates the need for the use of wooden posts to erect a wooden board fence. A second iteration, incorporating a lumber bracket, is used to attach construction lumber to a plurality of t-posts in order to form a basic support structure, in whole or in part, for a variety of outbuildings. The two variations of the bracket may be used independently, or in conjunction with one another, depending on the particular application. The system may be used to erect a new board fence, transition from an existing wire t-post fence to a board fence, and to construct, or assist in the construction of, sheds, coops, barns, and other similar outbuildings.

  • Patent number: 5868345
    Abstract: A toilet paper dispenser includes a base assembly and a slider assembly. The base assembly is fixedly mounted, alongside a toilet, to a support structure such as a vanity. The slider assembly is adapted to slide or translate longitudinally relative to the base assembly. At one end of the slider assembly is located a toilet paper holder. In operation, the slider assembly can be set to a retracted position where the toilet paper roll holder will be stored out of way. When it is desired to use the toilet paper dispenser, the slider assembly may be extended so that someone using the toilet paper may obtain the paper without having to unnecessarily twist or turn.
