Patent number: 9528310Abstract: A hinge for a swinging gate includes a base plate, a hinge base pivotally secured to the base plate and a mounting member connected in spaced apart relation to the hinge base by an elongate bolt. A gate-engaging member is secured to the mounting member so that pivoting of the hinge base effects conjoint pivoting of the mounting member, the gate-engaging member and a gate that it engages. An upstanding post has a pair of laterally spaced apart T-shaped slots that extend along its height. A bolt disposed within a T-shaped slot is disposed horizontally and cannot rotate. The bolts housed in a T-shaped slot screw-threadedly engage apertures formed in the corners of the base plate to secure the base plate to the upstanding post. In a second embodiment, a cantilever gate supported by a trolley assembly is secured in cantilever relation to at least one upstanding post.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Barrette Outdoor Living, Inc.Inventors: William M.

Publication number: 20100088965Abstract: An overhead door, which is adapted to have its primary tracking members temporarily disengaged from their primary track when impacted by a substantial force when in the closed or partially closed position, is adapted to smoothly transition from its vertical, closed position to a non-vertical, open position by the use of second tracking members and track which come into use as the door panels transition from a vertical orientation to a non-vertical orientation. The impact caused disengagement feature is therefore effective without interference from the second tracking members, but progressively gives way to the second tracking members and track as the door is raised toward an open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2006Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: DL ManufacturingInventors: Donald L.
