The pivoting bracket is pivoted into an insertion position in which one arm of the bracket is up and one arm is down. This enables the bracket to clear the sides of the hole in the foundation. The bracket is then pivoted to a support position and drawn upwardly with guide rods and a seating plate until seating portions of the bracket engage an underside surface of the foundation. The apparatus is then raised to lift the foundation. The sleeve of the apparatus is then affixed to the support structure to support the foundation. | 09-18-2014 |
20140366461 | Precision Height Adjustable Flooring Substrate Support Sytem - A precision height and slope adjustable flooring substrate system for providing a truly planar array of fiber reinforced polymer structural panels so as to form a lightweight deck surface for the attachment of a surfacing material, such as a quarried stone, tile, concrete paver of the like to the top of the panel, providing a water proof stone deck surface that maintains the integrity of the underlying deck structure and can be precisely leveled without requiring substantial structural support. The system utilizes various interconnected plates, spacers, adapters and stanchions to achieve the correct height and slope compensation to achieve a truly horizontal, planar deck for the structural panel. With the use of specialized adapters on plate members, they can be attached above or below dimensional lumber to allow for the attachment to a framed open deck or to install a framed open deck above a planar deck. | 12-18-2014 |
20150033640 | PROCESS FOR BUILDING A TANK AND DEVICES FOR EXECUTING THE PROCESS - The invention relates to a method for building cylindrical structures, preferably made of metal, on the basis of the construction methods referred to as “a method which begins the assembly by the top structure”, which provides high levels of safety in the various steps to be carried out. The method uses a shaping device for shell sheets, at least one stationary cabin for vertically aligning and welding sheets, movable cabins for horizontally welding the inside and outside, and supporting base devices which in combination provide a safe and comfortable working environment for the operators, as well as greater speed and finish quality for the tank to be built, even under harsh weather conditions. | 02-05-2015 |
20150354231 | LEVELING SPACER FOR LAYING TILES, FLOOR TILES AND THE LIKE WITH THE INTERPOSITION OF GAPS - A leveling spacer for laying tiles, floor tiles and the like with the interposition of gaps having a base, a threaded stem, a knob, and a slip preventing element for protecting the tiles between which the spacer is arranged. The base includes,

20160040439 | Pedestal Elevation System - An elevating leveling pedestal having a base rotatably attached to a first coupling end to collectively create a height adjustment mechanism, a second coupling end non-rotatably attached to a first end of a non-threaded midsection of predetermined length with a second end non-rotatably attached to a head assembly to support, secure, and level a surface installed over a non-sloping or sloping sub-surface. The head assembly comprising a support-head overlying and attached to a cap with either the support-head or the cap having a convex mating surface and the other having a concave mating surface making the support-head and the cap slidably re-positionable with respect to each other along their mating surface resulting in the support-head being tiltable with respect to said cap from zero to seven degrees. A recess is formed in a bottomed-well in the support surface of the support-head for supporting a double-ended bushing to interact with locking devices. | 02-11-2016 |
20160061459 | IMPACT AND/OR SOUND DEADENING HYDRONIC SUB-FLOORING PANEL AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD - A sub-flooring panel with improved impact and/or sound deadening (ISD) properties that is adapted to adjoin other sub-flooring panels to form a sub-flooring panel assembly, includes a base body having an upper surface formed with a groove for receiving a heating/cooling element, such as hydronic piping. A sub-flooring system with significantly improved ISD properties includes the panel assembly and an underlayment assembly which comprises a plurality of stabilizing supports, each support being adjustable in height, to support at least a generally rigid board and a fiberboard on which finishing flooring or laminate may be installed. | 03-03-2016 |
20160108636 | LIFTABLE STRUCTURE SYSTEM - A liftable building system includes a building structure. A foundation is configured for supporting the building structure. A substructure is disposable between the foundation and the building structure. At least one guide post is in communication with the building structure, the substructure and the foundation. The liftable building system includes a lifting system including a first end and a second end. The first end is in communication with the substructure and the second end is in communication with the foundation so that actuating the lifting system applies a force to axially displace in a substantially up and down direction the substructure with the building structure along or with the at least one guidepost relative to the foundation. | 04-21-2016 |
