  • Swiveling hoist rings and methods of assembly
    Patent number: 11167957
    Abstract: Swiveling hoist ring assemblies have a single cross pin extending through a housing with an opening for a mounting bolt to pass through both of the cross pin and the housing. The cross pin provides a strong shaft for supporting loads while still permitting axial rotation of the hoist ring assembly. Optional retainers on the end of the cross pin create a tamper-proof assembly. The hoist ring assemblies provide 360 degrees of rotation in the horizontal plane and at least 180 degrees of rotation in the vertical plane about the cross pin axis.

  • Grommet and method of use thereof
    Patent number: 9784385
    Abstract: A grommet is at least partially comprised of a clear, rigid material is disclosed. The body of the grommet tapers from a proximal end to a distal end, allowing the grommet to be guided into a hole in a post of a handrail system. The interior of the body includes an longitudinal cannulation open to the exterior of the grommet via a helical cut in the surface, allowing for a wire rope to pass through. The grommet can be installed whether or not a wire rope has previously been passed through a railing post.

  • Wire rope connectors and tensioners for deck railing systems
    Patent number: 7198253
    Abstract: Wire attachment and/or tensioning assemblies are described. The ends of wires may be fitted with mateable collar and wedge components to allow the wire to be securely attached to a supporting structure such as, for example, the surface of a railing post. The wire attachment assembly may be rotatably attached to a tensioning device that enables wire tension adjustments without rotating the wire itself, thereby avoiding the need to adjust the opposing end of the wire.

  • Quick rail system with adjustable support
    Patent number: 7044450
    Abstract: A modular railing system with handicap access is disclosed based on commercially available tubing assembled into a railing through use of fittings that connect to each other and the rails and posts of the railing system to allow all possible standard rail configurations. All connections are thereby held together by mechanical, rather than welded, connections.
