Patent number: 9758983Abstract: A system for handling various structural building components including a pick and stack-registry lug which is anchorable to the top of a building component for handling that component in either one, or both sequentially, of its two, pick and stack-registry functional modes, (b) a clamshell-style, releasably lockable clasp adapted to receive and close capturingly upon the lug under operational circumstances with the lug anchored to the top of a building component, and ready to function in its pick category of component-handling behavior, and (c) a guide socket includable in the base of a building component functional for camming, guided reception of a lug with the lug then functioning in its stack-registry mode of behavior to facilitate overhead stack registering of two building components in relation to the lowering of an overhead component onto the top of an underlying component whose top also has a lug anchored to it.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: ConXtech, Inc.Inventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 9732886Abstract: A modular system for supporting, on an underlying framework, and at plural pipe-underside locations, an elongate linear pipe. The system includes (a) for each such location, a shoe anchorable to the pipe's underside at that location, (b) for one pipe-underside location only, an anchor securable to the framework for receiving and anchoring the shoe, and thus the pipe also, at this one location, against any motion relative to the framework, and (c) for each other pipe-underside location, a guide securable to the framework for guidably receiving the adjacent shoe in a manner permitting it, and thus the pipe also, at this other location, solely reversible sliding motion relative to the framework along a line substantially paralleling the pipe's long axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: ConXtech, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Simmons, Maxwell C. Simmons

Patent number: 9493326Abstract: System, including methods and apparatus, for mechanically moving components with lifting machinery. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a lug mounted to a component, and a clasp. The clasp may include a body configured to receive the lug. The clasp also may include a gate mechanism configured to support the body when the clasp is supported by lifting machinery, and to move with respect to the body between (a) an open position that allows removal of the lug from the body when the gate mechanism is not supporting the body and (b) a closed position that prevents removal of the lug from the body when the gate mechanism is supporting the body.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: ConXtech, Inc.Inventors: Maxwell C. Simmons, Robert J. Simmons

Publication number: 20160108630Abstract: A precision fabrication form system for preparing a poured-concrete (with upwardly projecting anchor bolts) footing for anchorably supporting the base of an elongate, upright, structural-frame column. The system includes a reversibly stackable plurality of independent, intercooperative, fabrication-form templates—grade, pedestal, base-plate, anchor-bolt and centerline—reversibly assembleable in a predetermined stack order above a prepared ground excavation into which concrete pouring to be associated with such a footing is to occur, certain ones of these templates being infinitely adjustable relative to one another and to the ground in both pre-pour and post-pour conditions to accommodate staged, precision, X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, and pitch, roll and yaw axes dispositions for the concrete and anchor bolts in such a footing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: ConXtech, Inc.Inventors: Robert J.

Publication number: 20150284968Abstract: I-beam-attachable lifeline system, including methods and apparatus, for worker safety. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a frame structure including upright columns and horizontal I-beams. The system also may comprise a pair of fittings connected to a horizontally-spaced pair of the I-beams. Each fitting may have a first hook component and a second hook component received on respective opposite edge regions of a flange of an I-beam of the pair of I-beams and attached to one another with a fastener such that the fitting spans the flange transversely and is supported by the I-beam. The system further may comprise a cable having opposite ends connected to the pair of fittings.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Applicant: CONXTECH, INC.Inventors: Robert J.
