Abstract: An articulated attachment assembly and a rail system and method of installation for rail installations in which there is an elevational change between vertical supports, in which the articulated attachment assembly eliminates the need for field mitering of components and provides instead a first articulated hinge assembly having a first mounting block to be attached to the first support, a second mounting block to be attached to the first rail connection block, and a hinge member to couple the second mounting block to the first mounting block and enable the second mounting block, the first rail connection block, and the rail to pivot together relative to the first mounting block and the first support.

Abstract: An out-of-doors prefabricated, pre-engineered vertical wall structure constructed entirely of pressure treated wood and comprised of successive individual wall sections tightly arranged in an end-to-end pattern. Supporting rectangular posts join immediately adjacent wall sections together end-to-end and occupy the entire space between the sections, each of the posts having flat surfaces facing the ends of immediately adjacent wall sections on opposite sides of the post with upright pairs of spaced cants secured to said flat surfaces so as to form upright channels extending upwardly from top to bottom on the posts, each pair of cants being spaced apart to receive one end of one of said wall sections in a tight relation between said cants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved ornamental integrally molded plastic fence section. The fence section generally includes a pair of substantially parallel stringers with a plurality of pickets formed integral with the stringers. Said pickets being oriented substantially perpendicular to the stringers. Each stringer has a plurality of identical spaced ears formed integral with one end. Each of the ears has a rod aperture extending therethrough. The rod apertures in the ears on one end of a stringer are aligned with rod apertures in ears on the other stringer. A slot is formed in each ear extending from the exterior of the respective ear to the respective aperture. Each slot in each ear on one end of the section is aligned with the other slots in the other ears on that end of the section. A second plurality of supports is formed integral with the other end of each of the stringers. Each of the supports has a height less than the distance between adjacent ears in the first mentioned plurality.
