  • Publication number: 20230017137
    Abstract: A device for securing multiple sections of a guardrail to a pour stop to ultimately form a guardrail about a predetermined surface includes a base member; a stanchion member or pipe integrally secured to a top wall of a top portion of the base member; and an angle member having a side portion and a top portion with a top wall integrally joined to a bottom wall of the top portion of the base member. The stanchion member slidably receives a tube portion of a guardrail section. The side portion of the angle member includes an outer wall disposed substantially parallel to and separated from an inner wall of a second side portion of the base member, thereby forming a gap for receiving a top portion of a pour stop having a bottom portion secured to a surface outside the predetermined surface enclosed by the pour stop.

  • Patent number: 10549134
    Abstract: A tie-off anchor device having manually secured weight members includes a plurality of base plates detachably secured to a hub portion. The base plates have a predetermined quantity of weight members detachably secured to each of the base plates. The hub portion and base plates are disposed upon a preselected structure. A plate end of an arm member is vertically secured to a top wall of each of the base plates, and a knob retaining member is secured to a top end portion of each of the plate ends of each of the arm members. A weight retaining member is detachably secured, via a knob member, to each of the knob retaining members, and the weight retaining members detachably secure a predetermined quantity of weight members to a top wall of each of the plurality of base plates.

  • Publication number: 20190257111
    Abstract: A barrier locking mechanism having a collared upright stem mounted to a base and a tubular sheath having an open lumen configured to receive the upright stem therein is disclosed. The tubular sheath has an opening through a lateral side of the tubular sheath axially positioned such that, when the upright stem is received within the lumen of the tubular sheath, the opening is positionable between the base and the collar of the upright stem. A threaded lock housing is externally mounted on the lateral side of the tubular sheath at a position coinciding with the opening in the tubular sheath so that a fastener can extend into the lumen of the tubular sheath at least as far as an outer perimeter of the collar.
