Publication number: 20060180801Abstract: A building element (10) is formed from sheet material having opposite major surfaces (11, 12) that extend between longitudinal edges (13, 14). Margins of the sheet adjacent the longitudinal edges are turned out of a mid-plane of the sheet to form opposite profiled sections (15 and 16). The major surfaces (11, 12) of the building element have different surface characteristics, and one profiled section has one of the major surfaces as its outer surface, and the other profiled section has the other major surface as its outer surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2004Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: GRAM ENGINEERING PTY LTDInventor: Ronald Mann

Patent number: 4911419Abstract: A clamping device comprising an elongate bar (1) a first abutment member (2) fixed in position on the elongate bar (1) and a second abutment member (3) slidably mounted on the elongate bar (1). A peg (12,17) carried by both the elongate bar (1) and the second abutment member (3) enables each to be secured to a respective jaw of a vice such that in use movement of the jaws of the vice relative to one another results in a corresponding movement of the two abutment members (2,3) relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1988Date of Patent: March 27, 1990Inventors: Keith N. Deakin, Ronald Mann
