  • Patent number: 10494817
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide retractable canopies, kits of parts for assembling retractable canopies, and methods for assembling and operating retractable canopies. The retractable canopies provide tracks extending in a longitudinal direction and transversely spaced apart. A support extends in a transverse direction between the tracks and is moveably coupled to the tracks via mounts to the tracks. The mounts include engagement members, such as wheels, to engage with the tracks. The engagement members may be biased transversely away from the support (e.g. toward the track), thereby permitting the engagement members to adjust their transverse positions relative to the support as the support moves along the track.

  • Patent number: 10030448
    Abstract: A ladder stabilization apparatus features a ladder engagement unit, and first and second bracing members attached to the engagement unit at a side thereof that faces outwardly from the ladder and each having a respective contact side for abutting against a structure during. The bracing members are securable to the ladder engagement unit in a first position in which the contact sides diverge away from the ladder, and a second position in which the contact sides converge away from the ladder. Placement of the braces in the first position accommodates diverging walls of an outside corner of the structure, while placement of the braces in the second orientation accommodates converging walls of an inside corner of the structure against the contact sides of the bracing members. A slot between the bracing members in the second position accommodates a wall stud or other dimensional frame unit.
