  • Patent number: 8769909
    Abstract: A frame for a panel is constructed from two frame components. One of the frame components has a first wall and a first channel and the second frame component has a second wall and a second channel. The first frame component is mated to the second frame component with the first wall of the first frame component inserted in and making frictional contact with the second channel of the second frame component and the second wall of the second frame component inserted in and making frictional contact with the first channel of the first frame component. Portions of the panel are held between and make contact with the first frame component and the second frame component such that an end of the panel is located within a chamber defined between the first frame component and the second frame component.

  • Patent number: 8601756
    Abstract: A platform system includes a platform frame having a header defining a first channel. Decking is mounted to the platform frame. A post is attached to a mounting member, which defines a second channel. The mounting member and the header form an interlock coupling where a portion of the mounting member resides in the first channel and a portion of the header resides in the second channel. A locking pin is positioned within a recess that is partially defined by the header and that is partially defined by the mounting member to limit movement of the mounting member relative to the header.
