  • Patent number: 11434650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for modular walled systems, such as modular walled spas and modular walled privacy fences and can protect pool and spa equipment from the public. In one embodiment, the modular walled system includes an outer frame disposed within a medial frame, and an inner frame disposed within the medial frame, wherein each frame includes a set of brace assemblies that connect to rebar grids. The brace assemblies may include a foot plate and threaded couplers. The wall system also provides protective room for electrical raceways and a secure anchor substrate to attach electronics, panels, boxes or lighting systems.

  • Publication number: 20100167599
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus is provided, comprising a continuous annular wall having therein a connection area, and an inward facing surface including a concave portion. First and second leg portions continuously, smoothly, and uninterruptedly extend from the concave portion, with a single continuous and uninterrupted taper having a continuously increasing taper rate, to spaced-apart leg ends. A concave trough portion is disposed opposite to the concave portion. A convex interface extends between each of the first and second leg ends and the trough portion, with an increased taper rate with respect to the single continuous taper, before continuously, smoothly and uninterruptedly transitioning to a decreased taper rate upon extending to the trough portion, thereby forming lateral support members for maintaining the ground conductor laterally with respect to the trough portion. Associated apparatuses and methods for connecting a ground conductor to a grounding member are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7621763
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus for electrically connecting a ground wire to a grounding member includes first and second clamping members cooperating along an engagement plane to apply a clamping pressure to the grounding member therebetween. One of the first and second clamping members includes opposing first and second wall members integrally formed therewith and defining an open channel therebetween, the open channel defining a ground wire ingress opening for receiving the ground wire in a direction substantially perpendicular to the engagement plane. One of the wall members defines a threaded hole for receiving a set screw extending toward the other of the wall members, whereby the ground wire laid into the open channel through the ingress opening is secured against the other of the wall members by the set screw along a ground wire axis parallel to the grounding member axis.
