    摘要: A walkway paver including a paver assembly and an attaching assembly is disclosed. The paver assembly includes a paver, preferably made of fiber glass, that is filled with one of water, sand or combinations thereof. Each paver may include a filling opening that leads to an interior of the paver and also allows for easy refilling of the paver. The filling opening is sealed with a plug. Each paver may be interconnected with additional pavers in order to create a walkway. Each paver further includes lights which are used to illuminate the vicinity of the paver and the walkway created for added safety. The attaching assembly importantly includes a threaded fastener that extends centrally through each paver. The threaded fastener extends a predetermined distance into a ground surface to secure each paver in place.

    摘要: A landscape paver includes a PV panel and a frame. The PV panel includes one or more PV cells and is operable to provide electrical power at a panel output terminal in response to operating light incident on a panel upper surface. The frame extends along the panel peripheral edge and defines a frame inside surface which, together with a lower panel surface, defines a base volume. A molded base material is located in the base volume. A light-transmissive paver cover material extends over the panel first surface and over at least a portion of a frame outside surface which faces away from the base volume. The landscape paver may be incorporated in a landscape installation and connected with other such pavers in the installation to provide a ground mounted PV panel array which also functions as a hardscape such as a walkway or patio.

    摘要: An impact-absorbing assembly includes a covering layer being one or more of artificial turf, rubber mats, polymer mats, short pile carpeting, particulate infill, wood chips, and ground rubber chips. Also included is a layer of underlayment panels positioned beneath the covering layer. The panels have a panel section with a plurality of drain holes formed therethrough. A top surface of the panels is configured to support the covering layer. A bottom surface of the panels has a plurality of bottom projections that cooperate to define bottom channels suitable to permit water flow across the bottom surface, the bottom channels being in fluid communication with the panel drain holes. The bottom projections define a first spring rate characteristic that is part of a first stage and a second spring rate characteristic is part of a second stage, the first stage having a smaller volume of material than the second stage.
