Filed:

Sep 12, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/949822

Inventors:

Richard T. Prince - West Palm Beach FL 33412

International Classification:

E04C 330

US Classification:

527321, 527304, 527371, 527376

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to a novel beam and post/column construction which allows for a variety of decorative trim strips to be installed into grooves which are integrally formed in the outer surfaces of the beams and columns. Additionally, there is provision for selectively increasing the structural load capacity of the beam and column by insertion of one or more strengthening members into grooves located in the inner hollow portions thereof. The disclosure finds particular use in the construction of screened patio and pool enclosures. However, there are many other construction applications where the variable load capacity feature may be advantageously utilized to reduce the inventory normally required by a jobber.

International Classification:

E04H 1500

US Classification:

52 63, 52222, 526561, 527321, 527371, 160391

Abstract:

A screened patio enclosure is provided with primary and secondary structural members for retaining screening fabric and decorative inserts that are available in a variety of pleasing colors and patterns thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the interior of the enclosure. Additionally, the primary members include integral recesses for receiving load carrying insert members thus allowing the load capacity of the primary structural members to be increased incrementally by varying the number of metallic inserts added to the primary structural members. The primary structural members include post/columns and beams while the secondary structural members include horizontal and diagonal purlins and base anchoring members.

Abstract:

A salt analyzer is disclosed capable of measuring the conductivity of a saline solution when either contact or non-contact probes are used. In particular, the salt analyzer employs circuitry capable of switchably measuring the various electrical parameters necessary for determining the conductivity of a solution when either contact or non contact probes are used.
