  • Publication number: 20100021236
    Abstract: A simple, modular, straight forward approach to the assembly of a water retention/detention structure or system to retain or detain, for example, storm water runoff and/or grey water is provided. In one embodiment, the system can include six or more panels of the present disclosure arranged adjacent to each other to form an assembly, the assembly having a hollow interior and in which each panel has an opposite panel across the hollow interior. Panels are provided for the assembly that have a first surface, for example a planar surface, four sides of which define outer edges of each panel, one or more tabs extending laterally from each of the outer edges of each panel in substantially identical spacing on each of the sides of each panel, and one or more recesses formed in substantially identical spacing on each of the sides of each panel, the one or more recesses corresponding in location along the sides of the panels to the one or more tabs.

  • Patent number: 5481843
    Abstract: A lath for use in mounting plaster and the like to a substrate, the lath comprising a substantially planar, thermo-plastic grid including a plurality of first elongate, relatively flat strands extending laterally in a first direction and a plurality of second elongate strands extending laterally and transversely of the first elongate strands, the grid having a generally smooth side, and wherein the first elongate strands and the second elongate strands define a plurality of openings extending transversely through the grid, the second elongate strands comprising spacer portions positioned opposite the smooth side of the grid for spacing the grid a selected distance away from the substrate for allowing plaster to be introduced between the lath and the substrate without requiring the use of furring strips.
