Patent number: 9783990Abstract: A handrail assembly comprises an elongated railing and a plurality of brackets. The railing has two lateral channels extending along its length and a central member extending between the two lateral channels. At least one of the brackets has a base and two prongs extending away from the base. Each of the prongs engages one of the lateral channels. The engagement of the railing with the brackets forms a cavity that is defined, at least in part, by the central member, the base, and the prongs.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Peak Innovations Inc.Inventors: Simon Walker, Charles Hilliard Young, Hou Jun (Frank) Fan, Craig Raymond Lawson

Patent number: 9416550Abstract: A work bench support bracket with first and second opposed, generally upright sockets for receiving wood members is joined to first and second telescopically interconnectible, generally horizontal sockets, respectively. First and second clamping sets are also joined to the first and second generally upright sockets, respectively. Each of the clamping sets comprises an upper releasable chimp and a fixed lower brace member. The upper releasable clamp comprises a grip pivotably attached to the upright socket, a connector extending from the grip, and a handle pivotably connected to the connector. The work bench support bracket provides for the secure attachment of the wood members and reduces the likelihood of an accidental release of the wood members.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: 761250 ALBERTA LTD.Inventors: Simon Walker, Hou Jun (Frank) Fan, Craig Raymond Lawson, Leonard Earl Koffski

Patent number: 9121222Abstract: A gate bracket is formed of a planar web in which two rectangular portions along two edges of the web are bent to define a first pair of perpendicular flanges, and two other rectangular portions are bent from an inner portion of the web to form a second pair of perpendicular flanges. The flanges of the first pair are spaced from the flanges of the second pair by a distance corresponding to the dimensions of the structural members used to construct the gate. The invention provides a rigid bracket of simpler and lighter construction than prior art brackets.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2007Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Peak Innovations Inc.Inventors: Simon Walker, Hou Jun (Frank) Fan, Wei Min (Karen) Zhu, Jianzhong Zhu

Patent number: 8998156Abstract: A bracket for attaching a post to one or more fascia boards is provided. In one embodiment, the bracket comprises a flat top surface with openings sized to receive fasteners for attachment to the post. A back surface comprises openings sized to receive fasteners for attachment to the fascia boards. Two flanges extend substantially perpendicularly to both the top surface and the back surface. A cover is releasably attachable to the flanges. In another embodiment, the bracket comprises a top surface, a plurality of walls extending down from the top surface, and a plurality of angled faces extending from an edge of the walls. The top surface, the walls, and the angled faces form a semi-enclosed space.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Peak Innovations Inc.Inventors: Simon Walker, Hou Jun (Frank) Fan
