Appl. No.:

16/689840

Inventors:

Niraj Patel - Rockville MD, US

International Classification:

E01F 9/681

Abstract:

A system and method for anchoring bollards and curbside features is disclosed. The ‘curb apparatus’ is comprised of a planar, horizontal plate and a vertical portion on a distal end with apertures to receive a plurality of fasteners. This L-shaped, curb apparatus is selectively affixed to street curbs. An object of the invention is to support curbside features such as lighting bollards, benches, and bike racks etc. For example, in one embodiment, the feet of a park bench are affixed to the horizontal plate of the curb apparatus and the vertical portion is bolted into the vertical wall of the curb and gutter in a street. Other embodiments incorporate gussets and stiffeners to prevent bending and shifting as well as other means of fastening such as cements and epoxies. This installation prevents the bench from shifting when bumped and can mitigate vandalism.

Abstract:

A bidirectional, wedge clamp is disclosed. Conventional clamps, such as those used with electrical cables mainly secure a line in a single direction. The invention herein being comprised of a bidirectional clamp for conventional cables, wires and rope etc. (herein referred to as a ‘line’) having a simple and easily-operable construction, wherein two plate-like members and an outer sleeve-like member are telescopically assembled to clamp a line there between. Plates and sleeve members having a plurality of interconnected, opposing number of wedges that when acted upon in a lateral motion by a line there between, causing said wedges to slide against one another—thereby tightening down the plates onto said line and preventing slippage. An object of the invention is to clamp a line and prevent slipping laterally in either direction along the line's longitudinal axis.
