摘要： This invention resides in explosion-resistant walls, panels and partitions, particularly for use around buildings, works of art, public places, and so forth, and wherein, in certain embodiments, may include textures and/or graphics to disguise and/or beautify the structure. In terms of a typical construction, the system includes a plurality of vertical metal pipes, with a portion of each pipe being preferably buried several feet below the ground surface, and a portion of the pipe remains exposed above ground. Two or more horizontal metal pipes are interconnected to the vertical metal pipes, creating apertures that are filled with explosion-absorbing panels. In contrast to “explosion-proof” panels, which require sufficient strength to remain in tact in the presence of a blast, the infill panels according to the invention some form of attachment mechanism which “gives way” in the presence of an explosion, thereby effectively absorbing the shock. In alternative embodiments, the infill panels may be constructed of a fabric such Kevlar, or other material or mesh, which either deforms or breaks upon the impact of a blast. Alternatively, a solid panel of metal or even thick acrylic or other polymeric may be used, which becomes detached from the frame structure upon impact, but does not get thrown in an uncontrolled manner. Rather, hinges or tethers keep the dislodged panels connected to the frame structure. In the preferred embodiment, the pipes are made of steel, and one or more of the pipes may be filled with a fortifying material, such as cement. A cover may be provided to visually obscure the pipes. Such a cover may give the appearance of brick, cinder block, stone or wood. In addition, the system may include a floral decorative element. For example, the infill panels may be die-cut or painted to look like foliage or the building or other environment the barrier is intended to protect.

摘要： A post assembly with illuminated information includes a hollow tube extending upwardly from a ground surface, the tube having a sidewall with textual or graphical information cut therethrough. A lighting assembly is disposed within the hollow tube, and a transparent or translucent sleeve positioned over the tube such that when the lighting assembly is activated, the textual or graphical information is visible through the transparent or translucent sleeve. The lighting assembly may include a flashing light. In the preferred embodiment the hollow tube is metal, and the transparent or translucent sleeve is constructed of plastic. The lighting assembly preferably comprises one or more fluorescent tubes. The textual or graphical information may be traffic-related, or it may concern other directives. The post preferably has a circular cross-section in the range of 2 to 10 inches, and an optional base may be provided for mounting to a ground surface.

摘要： Trapped air is used to hold a sleeve onto an elongated member such as a vertical post or pillar. A sleeve is provided having an open end and a closed end, and an inner diameter which is at least slightly greater than the outside diameter of the member being covered. At least one spacer is provided circumferentially around the member, which is positioned proximate to the end over which the open end of the sleeve is placed for installation purposes. As the sleeve is subsequently urged over the member, air trapped between the end of the member including the spacer and the closed end of the sleeve is expelled past the spacer and out the open end of the sleeve between the outside wall of the member, such that when the sleeve is fully installed, a relatively small volume of air remains between the end of the member with the spacer and the closed end of the sleeve. With such a configuration, if one then attempts to pull the sleeve off the member, air movement past the spacer in the opposite direction is again very slow, preventing the sleeve from being pulled off the member without a substantial effort. In the preferred embodiment, two spaced-apart bands of resilient adhesive tape are used to provide the spacer material. In an alternative embodiment the sleeve itself may be formed having one or more circumferential bands with an inside diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the sleeve overall.

摘要翻译： 被捕获的空气用于将套筒保持在细长构件上，例如垂直柱或柱。 提供具有开口端和封闭端以及至少稍微大于被覆盖构件的外径的内径的套筒。 至少一个间隔件周向地设置在构件周围，该构件靠近端部定位，为了安装目的，套筒的开口端被放置在该端部附近。 当套筒随后被推动在构件上时，包含间隔件的构件的端部与套筒的封闭端之间的空气被排出经过间隔件并从构件的外壁之间排出套筒的开口端， 当套筒完全安装时，在间隔件的构件的端部和套筒的封闭端之间留有相对小体积的空气。 通过这样的配置，如果然后尝试将套筒从构件上拉出，空气沿相反方向移动通过间隔件再次非常缓慢，从而防止套筒从实体上脱离构件。 在优选实施例中，使用弹性粘合带的两个间隔开的带来提供间隔物材料。 在替代实施例中，套筒本身可以形成为具有一个或多个周向带，其内径略小于套筒的内径。

摘要： The handrail assembly includes at least one tubular metal stanchion, having a base and a hemispherical cap having a threaded receiver and at least a horizontal top rail. The horizontal top rail has an inner metal pipe, an outer plastic pipe, and at least one aperture for receiving the metal stanchion. Prior to assemblage, a threaded fastener is attached to the interior of the inner metal pipe opposite the aperture. In an alternative embodiment, the hemispherical cap on the stanchion is replaced by a threaded fastener and a threaded nut is positioned within the interior of the inner metal pipe opposite the aperture. Prior to insertion of the stanchion into the aperture, at least one tubular plastic sheath, having a first end conforming with the base of the stanchion and a second end conforming with the top horizontal rail, is slipped onto the tubular metal stanchion. Following placement of the top horizontal rail atop the stanchion, the sheath rests on the base of the stanchion and engages the top horizontal rail. The top horizontal rail is locked in position atop the stanchion by threading the threaded receiver and the threaded fastener together. Disassemblage of the handrail assembly is facilitated by the easy unthreading of the threaded receiver and the threaded fastener.

摘要： The present invention provides a cart corral assembly of the type employed by stores, such as grocery stores, to encourage the consumer to temporarily store grocery carts in the parking lot before bringing the cart within the store structure. The cart corral includes a first set of two spaced apart vertical rails in a base support extended between these rails. The base support supports the vertical rails in an upright position. At least two spaced apart horizontal rails are provided and are removably engaged with the vertical rails in a position abut above the base support. The horizontal rails form an obtuse angle with the vertical rails. A second set of two spaced apart vertical rails are provided opposite the first set of vertical rails and are removably engaged with the horizontal rails. A second base support extends between the second set of vertical rails and supports the vertical rails in an upright position. Removable and replaceable polymerized sheathing surrounds each of the vertical and horizontal rails. The polymerized sheathing has an inner diameter equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the vertical and horizontal rails. Removable slip-on structural fittings are provided for removably connecting the vertical and horizontal rails to each other.
