  • Patent number: 8046965
    Abstract: A partition to be supported by one or more support elements. The partition includes two or more panel modules, each panel module having two or more panel elements. The panel elements in each panel module are positioned relative to each other in a predetermined abutting arrangement selected from the group consisting of a vertical arrangement and a horizontal arrangement. The panel elements in each panel module define a joint intersection therebetween. Each panel module includes one or more fastening elements attached to the panel elements on both sides of the joint intersection to maintain the panel elements in the predetermined abutting arrangement. The fastening element is selected from the group consisting of a fastening element with a stud portion and a fastening element with a keyhole slot, the stud portion and said keyhole slot being adapted to cooperate to secure the panel modules together.

  • Publication number: 20070004251
    Abstract: A post top beam connector for connecting beams to a post for a modular garden structure comprising a post-receiving member for receiving the post wherein the post receiving member comprises an open end for receiving the post, an elongate interior wall for surrounding a potion of the post inserted into the post receiving member, and a closed end for impeding further insertion of the post into the post-receiving member, wherein the elongate interior wall is dimensioned to impede substantial lateral movement of the post within the post-receiving member; and, a beam-securing member for securing a plurality of beams, the beam-securing member being coupled to the post-receiving member; wherein the closed end of the post-receiving member is operable to support the post-receiving member and the beam-securing member at a top of the post when a longitudinal axis of the post is vertically oriented.

  • Publication number: 20060096199
    Abstract: A modularized approach for rapidly and cost effectively assembling a structure suitable for housing radiation emitting equipment is disclosed. The modules include reinforced walls to contain radiation shielding fill material. The modules are transported empty and then filled on site with the fill material to form a radiation shielding barrier around radiation emitting equipment.
