    摘要: A mobile tower for transportation to and rapid deployment at remote sites where the mobile tower can be engaged with the ground, the mobile tower including an extendable and retractable tower secured to a mobile support structure including a frame having a plurality of rapidly deployable outriggers, wherein the tower includes three series of pivotally interconnected tower sections or segments, sections or segments of which engage with segments of each of the other series when the tower is assembled; the mobile tower including a plurality of guy wires secured between the extendable and retractable tower and the respective outriggers to stabilize the tower after the tower is assembled. The guy wires are preferably secured to the extendable and retractable tower at first and second connecting positions that are displaced from one another about an outer perimeter. Methods of deploying the mobile tower are also disclosed.

    摘要: Plant for the production of electricity positioned on a ground having a tensile structure suspending upper support cables, parallel to each other and the at a first predefined height from the ground and lower support cables, parallel to each other, and at a second height from the ground equal to or lower than the first height, allowing solar energy receptor devices to be constrained between one of these upper cables and a lower one, substantially inclined with respect to horizontal. The tensile structure includes elongated supports, connected to the ground with their lower portion and connected to such cables with their upper portion. Each of such supports is substantially “V” shaped, the vertex of which is associated with the ground and a lower support cable is associated with one of the wings of the V and an upper support cable is associated with the other.

    摘要: A transportable ground tower for an aircraft landing system, and methods of assembling and raising the same, are disclosed. The ground tower may include at least lower and upper tower sections configured to be assembled to form a ground tower structure extending substantially vertically from a ground surface in an operational orientation. The lower tower section may have a pivot configured to be pivotally secured to a stationary ground base. The ground tower may also include a stand pivotably secured to one of the plurality of tower sections, which is configured to support an end of the assembled tower structure in an assembly orientation to permit assembly of one or more tower devices to the tower structure.

    摘要: A modular pipe brace assembly is provided for supporting a concrete wall panel, where the modular pipe brace assembly has a plurality of brace sections that each have a pipe with one of at least two standard lengths and a connection plate attached to each end of the pipe. At least two of the plurality of brace sections are attached together in longitudinal alignment by engaging the connection plates to define a pipe assembly with a desired length. An adjustable shoe assembly is attached to each end of the pipe assembly and is configured to engage a ground anchor or a concrete wall panel. The plurality of brace sections may, for example, include a low-load brace section that has a low-load capacity pipe and a high-load brace section that has a high-load capacity pipe.

    摘要: A method of restricting the growth of vines along a guy wire includes possessing a member defining a tapered chamber having first and second openings. The chamber is tapered such that the chamber is widest at the first opening. The method further includes positioning the member such that the guy wire extends through the first opening, the second opening, and the tapered chamber.

    摘要: A beach umbrella anchoring system including an anchor member container, in the form of a cylindrical beach umbrella carrying bag, for containing a weighting medium, such as sand or water, and a connector for connecting the container to a beach umbrella restraining device; and a beach umbrella restraining device comprising a flexible cable member, a releasable connector fixed to one end of the cable for releasably connecting the cable to a beach umbrella, a second releasable connector, fixed to the other end of the cable, for releasably connecting the cable member to the anchor member, and a third releasable connector, attached to the anchor member for releasably attaching to the ground. The anchoring system may be supplied in the form of a kit comprising the anchoring member (beach bag), umbrella and the restraining device. The provision of the container member in the form of a beach bag allows the system to be readily carried to the beach along with other paraphernalia. The apparatuses and systems serve to anchor beach umbrellas and canopies against being overturned and flailing about in sudden or unexpected gusts of wind.
