20090107055 | CONTAINERIZED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM - A portable container is provided which comprises a passing room(s) allowing entry into a second area into a first area, the passing room having at least two openings with a walkway in-between. Barrier device(s) can be located in the walkway but not connected to the first or second opening. A control room(s) can also be provided, the control room being connected to the passing room(s). | 04-30-2009 |
20090205264 | ROTATABLE BUILDING STRUCTURE - A rotatable building structure ( | 08-20-2009 |
20090205265 | Spin Hardware for structural frame members - A multi-component spin hardware is provided for connecting structural framing members to other structural framing members while allowing desired portions of the framing members to pivot, selectively displacing the framing members to variable positions. The spin hardware generally includes a top bracket, bottom bracket and counter bracket assembly. The spin hardware bracket assemblies can be installed along a vertical axis in infinite locations providing maximum flexibility and creativity while connecting structural framing members in infinite configurations. | 08-20-2009 |
20100024312 | Sales and presentation area with rotatably mounted annular region divided into vertically movable ring segments - A sales and presentation area having an essentially annular region, wherein the annular region is rotatably mounted in the horizontal direction, divided into ring segments able to be moved individually in the vertical direction, and set into horizontal rotational movement via drives during use of the ring segments by customers, a changing section along the path of the moving annular region which is kept inaccessible for customers from the exterior of the annular region, a lifting and lowering device which is provided beneath the changing section and over which the ring segments slide in the course of the rotational movement of the annular region and on which the ring segments rest during a standstill of the annular region for moving the ring segments in the vertical direction, and rooms below the sales and presentation area, into which the ring segments may be pushed in the radial direction. | 02-04-2010 |
20100126080 | ROTATABLE BUILDING - A rotatable building structure that comprises: a vertically extending building having one or more floors; a fixed core support for supporting the building, located substantially centrally beneath the building; a rotatable annular drive system for rotating the building, located lower than the building and with its centre substantially aligned with the vertical centreline of the building, the system having an upper surface and a planar lower surface; and a fixed outer support, located beneath the annular drive system, the support having a planar upper surface that contacts the planar lower surface of the annular drive system; wherein at least one of the lower surface of the annular drive system and the upper surface of the fixed outer support is a bearing material, permitting rotation of the annular drive system over the fixed outer support, such that the annular drive system is rotated via a planar to planar bearing system. | 05-27-2010 |
20120159870 | SPIN HARDWARE FOR STRUCTURAL FRAME MEMBERS - Disclosed are various embodiments of multi-component spin hardware for connecting structural framing members to other structural framing members while allowing desired portions of the framing members to pivot, selectively displacing the framing members to variable positions. The spin hardware generally includes a top bracket, a bottom bracket, and a counter bracket assembly. The spin hardware bracket assemblies can be installed along a vertical axis to provide maximum flexibility and creativity while pivoting structural framing members in any number of configurations. | 06-28-2012 |
20120247034 | ENCLOSURE FOR A PLEASURE POOL, WHICH COMPLETELY OR PARTIALLY ADOPTS THE SHAPE OF A ROTUNDA - The invention relates to an enclosure for a pleasure pool, which is completely or partially in the form of a rotunda and which comprises a plurality of rotary angular roof elements. The aforementioned rotary angular roof elements form an angular portion of the rotunda and rotate about the same vertical axis, each element comprising a frame framing at least one cylindrical filler panel. The frame includes a lower circular edge that rests on the ground and an upper edge from which at least two sections extend towards the rotation shaft, which sections join so as, together with the upper edge, to form a frame for an angular portion of the roof-forming filler panel. The roof elements are mounted to rotate about the same vertical axis in order to move between an open position and a closed position. The enclosure is characterised in that each frame framing a cylindrical filler panel is provided with a section (C, C) that is curved in relation to the axis of rotation of the element and which is disposed in the internal portion between the lower edge and the upper edge, forming a handrail. The invention is suitable for pleasure pool covers. | 10-04-2012 |
20120304551 | Rotatable Hunting Blind - A hunting blind rotates 360 degrees to provide a hunter with unobstructed views. A rotatable enclosure rotates atop a base that is affixed to the ground for stability. The rotatable enclosure contains a seat rigidly affixed to a back wall, a top rotatably affixed to the back wall, and right and left side walls hingedly affixed to the back wall. Either the right or left side wall serves as a door to allow the hunter access to enter the blind. The other side wall is rigidly connected to the seat to add stability to the enclosure. The hunter can place the blind pre-season in the middle of a field, for example, which can increase shot opportunities by providing the hunter with an expansive field of view. The component parts of the blind are generally lightweight, and the blind can therefore be easily transported and assembled in the field. | 12-06-2012 |
20120317897 | Pivoting Shelters - A pivoting shelter comprises a support member, such as a support post, and a pivot affixed to the support member. The pivoting shelter has a shelter member attached to the pivot such that the shelter member is capable of rotating relative to the support member about a rotational axis. The pivot is attached to the shelter member so that the rotational axis is substantially perpendicular to a primary plane of the shelter member and at a position along the side of the shelter member other than the center of a side. For example, the rotational axis may be located substantially at a corner of the shelter member. | 12-20-2012 |
