Abstract: This patent pertains to secondary containment systems. One implementation includes a support assembly that includes an elongate post member and a stabilization plate. In one instance, a stabilization plate is mounted on the elongate post member to reduce movement of the elongate post member when the stabilization plate is embedded in the ground. Another implementation includes a panel splice assembly including reinforcing members that secure overlapping, corrugated panels.

Abstract: A non-metallic fence system has a singular snap lock mechanism for permitting the easy construction of the fence.

Abstract: A device capable of being attached to a roof as part of a snowguard system to prevent snow or ice from falling off the roof. The snowguard system includes a plurality of mounting brackets each having a bracket portion with at least one bore defining at least one cutout region therethrough. This cutout region has a first circumferential shape. At least one pipe is slidably inserted through one of the bores in each of the bracket portions. Each pipe has a circumferential shape substantially similar to that of each cutout region to thereby prevent rotation of the pipe with respect to the bracket. At least one flag is provided for attachment to the pipe. Each flag has an interior which is substantially geometrically similar to at least a portion of the circumferential shape of the pipe, thereby allowing the interior portion of the flag to lockingly engage the exterior of one of the pipes such that the flag does not rotate with respect to the pipe to which it is attached.

Abstract: A movable pole system supporting divider material such as fencing, netting, or rope divider between a plurality of laterally spaced vertical poles orientated in a predetermined ground pattern. Each pole contains one or more connectors secured to the exterior surface of the pole for supporting the mesh material. Each connector includes a quick connect and disconnect mechanism comprising at least three outwardly extending elbows each with a vertically disposed arm. The upwardly extending vertical arms are in cooperative combination with the downwardly depending vertical arms to facilitate connection and disconnection of the fencing, provided the exterior vertical arms are opposed in direction to the intervening interior vertical arm.

Abstract: Impact absorbing net for attenuation of impact energy, having continuous ring groups 10a, 10b, 10c . . . of the ropes 20 with the ring clamps 30 provided to hold the ropes 20. The continuous ring groups 10a, 10b, 10c . . . , are each composed of the rings 20a, 20b, 20c in which the rings 20a, 20a . . . (20b, 20b . . . , or 20c, 20c . . . ) are made by one rope. The ropes 20a, 20b, 20c engage each other. Each of the rings 20a, 20b, 20c, has at least one ring clamp 30.

Abstract: Fence post (50) of a fence (100) of grid boards (20) comprising narrow, upright grid boards with upright rods (11, 12) and brackets (10) connecting these rods, which brackets project over the front side (13) of the fence post (50) with their free ends (3'). The grid boards (20) lie with horizontal rods (2, 2) on the projecting ends (3'). The projecting ends (3') form retaining elements (3) in the form of hooks that fasten the grid boards (20) at the front side (13) of the fence posts (50).

Abstract: A modular fence system. The system includes fence planks designed for insertion into open channels of upper and lower fence rails. The fence rails are supported in a horizontal orientation between intermittent fence posts, with the fence planks extending vertically between the rails. The planks include resilient protrusions at their upper ends. The protrusions of the planks are designed to fit into internal passages formed in the open channels of the upper fence rail, into engagement with ledges defining the passages, to inhibit inadvertent removal of the planks from the upper rail.

Abstract: A fence comprises posts and lattice panels which are fixed at their vertical edges to the posts. The post carries, on its front side, hooks, on which the horizontal bars of the lattice panels rest. The lattice panels are clamped between the front side of the post and the rear side of a hollow front profile which have on the rear side, at the locations of the hooks, holes, into which hooks penetrate with a leg directed obliquely outward and upward. The upper hole edges slide downward on the slope formed on the upper side of the legs and at the same time displace the front profile toward the post. The front profile is pressed downward by a holding-down device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to fence battens and clips and improved methods of attaching a fence wire. A variety of battens are described characterised by having slots into which a wire may be inserted. A variety of interacting clips which can be used to subsequently fasten the wire with respect to the batten are also described. The battens and clips are especially suitable for electric fences.

Abstract: A hollow T-shaped wedge member is used for attaching a rectangular collar to a T-post fence post for utilization in conjunction with a bracing system for fences made from such T-posts. The wedge member is shaped to straddle the rear leg of the T-post to produce a wedging engagement between the rear of the front face of the post and the inside of a collar placed over the post. The wedge tightly holds the collar wedged onto the T-post, and aligned with it, and includes a provision for inhibiting withdrawal of the wedge once it is in place.

Abstract: A double action expansion wedge is disclosed for attaching a collar to a T-post fence for utilization in conjunction with a bracing system for fences made from such T-posts. A hollow collar member has internal dimensions selected to slide over the posts, so that the collar can be positioned vertically between the lugs of the post at a desired location. The double action expansion cam wedge secures the collar between adjacent lugs on the post by tightly wedging the collar and post together. The double action expansion causes the top edge of the collar and the bottom edge of the collar both to be wedged against the post to hold the collar in alignment with the post.

Abstract: A bracing system is disclosed which is particularly suitable for providing line and end corner bracing for "T-post" fence construction. The bracing system comprises slidable collars which are positioned over the posts and located vertically between the lugs at a desired location. A wedging arrangement is used to secure the collar between adjacent lugs on the posts, and the collar has provisions for accepting accessories to permit a rigid cross-brace, typically also another "T-post", to be inserted therebetween for providing rigid cross-bracing between adjacent "T-posts" of the fence. Accessories also are disclosed to adapt the posts for uses other than fences.

Abstract: A metal fence connector is provided for removably mounting braces to a metal T-shaped fence post thereby facilitating the use of metal fence posts where lateral strength is needed. Conventional T-shaped posts are formed with a series of longitudinally disposed knobs or projections which enable the connector of this invention to obtain interlocking attachment with the post by means of an apertured collar that selectively receives a projection as the connector is vertically positioned on the post. A wedge member is utilized to secure the connector to the post in the desired position.
