20090114479 | Ladder Safety Guard - A device for preventing the use of the topmost rung and hindering access to the top step of a ladder that can easily be attached and removed in order to prevent unsafe ladder use and reduce injury. | 05-07-2009 |
20090152049 | Rack Attachable to Scaffolding - One or more rack modules may be semi-permanently attached to a deck to provide storage for material. Each rack module comprises a top horizontal member which may be adjusted in length to accommodate decks with different widths. A vertical member is attached to the top horizontal member; one or more horizontal arms extend out from the vertical member. One or more of the horizontal arms may be adjustable in length. Material may be stored on an arm or arms of a single rack module or may be disposed across multiple such arms, including across multiple such arms of multiple rack modules. | 06-18-2009 |
20090166130 | Apparatus and Method for Securing Fall Arrest Equipment - An apparatus and method that allows a user to secure a fall arrest system to equipment in locations not originally intended to be used for fall safety equipment. By utilizing non-conventional anchor points to secure the fall arrest system, a user can provide adequate and compliant fall arrest protection on equipment without violating the environmental or structural integrity of the equipment. | 07-02-2009 |
20120132481 | Fall Arrest System - A fall arrest safety system has a traveller arranged to travel along a safety line and including a securing arrangement deployable in response to a fall event to secure the traveller in fixed position on the safety line. An energy absorber device is connected intermediately between the traveller and the user, the energy absorber device including a plastically deformable energy absorber deployable in response to a fall event to plastically deform from a stowed orientation to a deployed orientation. The energy absorber may have a coil-form portion and an elongate tongue portion extending in a linear direction at the periphery of the coil-form portion, the elongate tongue portion of the energy absorber being arranged to extend to project from the housing for connection to a karabiner, lanyard or other connection device. | 05-31-2012 |
20120305333 | Grain Rescue Tube - A rescue tube assembly includes multiple panels at least one of which is generally inflexible and at least partially flat and planar. The panels may be joined together by slidable engagement of compatible lateral side edges of the panels to form a tubular construction. The sides may be inserted into grain or other collapsed material such as soil in a manner which encircles an item or entity trapped by the collapsed material. The adjacent panels are slidably engaged to form an at least partially encircling enclosure to enable material such as grain or soil to be removed from the tubular form thereby permitting access and rescue of the entrapped individual. | 12-06-2012 |
20130192928 | PERSONAL KNEELING POSTURE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY - A kneeling posture support assembly is provided comprising a pair of knee supports having attachments whereby the knee supports can be attached to the legs of a user and an intermediate body support. Each of the knee supports and the body support are free standing in the operative position independently of each other on a supporting surface, with each knee support being tethered, directly or indirectly, to the body support and the other knee support by means of one or more elongate flexible connectors. The connectors permit limited movement of the knee supports relative to each other in both horizontal and vertical planes such that a part of any such limited relative movement of the knee supports is operatively transferred by way of the one or more elongate flexible connectors, to the body support that therefore follows the knee supports. | 08-01-2013 |
20130220735 | Ergonomic Support Device for Weight of a User - An ergonomic support device is provided for accommodating the weight of a user and allowing the user to perform various tasks with reduced effort. The support device is adapted for use in connection with various settings, such as bathtubs, and allows the user to work in or around a space while in a supported position. | 08-29-2013 |
20140182971 | Boat Lift Step Assembly - A step assembly for attachment to a boat lift frame to allow for easy entry and exit from a boat secured on a boat lift. The assembly comprises a platform connected to a vertical member. The vertical member is fastened to a beam of the boat lift frame. The platform may be hingedly connected to the vertical member and movable between a horizontal position and a vertical position. | 07-03-2014 |
20150075911 | Supporting element for scaffolds - A supporting element for scaffolds includes a lower supporting plane or plate suited to be rested on the ground; ribs distributed on top of the lower plane or plate, integral with the lower plane or plate and all having their upper edge lying on the same plane, suited to constitute bearing elements for the bearing base of the scaffold and stiffening elements for the supporting element; a quadrilateral projection or wall, placed on top and generically at the center of the lower plane or plate, whose sides are higher than the ribs, suited to delimit the position where the bearing base of the scaffold rests on the ribs and to prevent the bearing base from slipping on the upper edges of the ribs; and a perimeter wall above the lower plane or plate, parallel to the upper ribs and delimiting the upper ribs. | 03-19-2015 |
20150308189 | Ladder Rung Plug - A ladder rung plug for reduction of noise caused by an interaction of air with ladder rung openings is provided. The ladder rung plug includes an insert portion and a cap portion. The insert portion of the ladder rung plug is configured to fit into a ladder rung opening, while the cap portion is configured to remain outside the ladder rung opening. Once placed, the ladder rung plug may not fall out or become accidentally dislodged; however, the ladder rung plug is readily removable by using a claw hammer or similar instrument. | 10-29-2015 |
20160153233 | Hunting ladder guard | 06-02-2016 |
20160186493 | Hunting ladder guard - A ladder guard to prevent access to a hunting ladder, includes: a ladder guard plate, including an inward protruding plate hook, that attaches to a rung of the ladder; at least two bracket apertures; and a bracket with upper and lower legs, each including a padlock aperture, such that the ladder guard attaches with the plate hook to an upper rung of the ladder; and the bracket locks the guard plate to a lower rung, with a padlock. Also disclosed is a ladder guard, including a ladder guard plate, with a plate cutout, ladder guard apertures, and a stabilizer bracket, including a connector plate with connector plate aperture, upper and lower flange portions, upper and lower flange extensions with extension apertures, such that the ladder guard is locked to a ladder using a padlock inserted through the extension apertures. | 06-30-2016 |
