Abstract: A device designed to be secured to a chain link fence improves the appearance of the fence and partially closes the openings in the fence so as to provide privacy and wind protection. Decorative blocks, such as of wood or plastic, are installed onto the obliquely angled wires of the fence via a wire-receiving groove formed in one surface of each block. Each block extends partially over each of two adjacent fence openings on either side of the wire. Flexible connectors, such as of light wire, are strung generally in lines to connect the series of blocks and secure their position and orientation. Installation of a large number of the blocks provides the appearance of a closed fence, improves the appearance of the fence and provides some wind protection.

Abstract: A construction framing anchor (22) for mounting vertical underpinning (20) to a foundation (12) having a sloped top surface or footing (14), the framing anchor (22) including a lower inclined plate (24) connected to the foundation (12), an upper horizontal plate (26) having the lower end of the underpinning (20) secured thereto, and locking means (46) to integrally lock the lower inclined plate (24) to the upper horizontal plate (26) to define a truss (48) to support the underpinning (20) and the load of the structure supported thereby.
