New Jersey Man Patents a Fastener for Decks

AP Newswire 1999

Califon, New Jersey USA — Necessity was the mother of Harry Eberle's invention.

"It was the result of a carpentry job. The customer asked for no fasteners to show," on a new deck, Mr. Eberle said. According to the inventive Califon, New Jersey resident, none of the existing systems provided the quality he was looking for, so he created his own.

What he came up with is a system based on common tongue-and-groove flooring. The EB-TY® Hidden Deck-Fastening SystemTM is an oval device made of polypropylene that screw into the joists.Deck boards have grooves cut into their sides and the EB-TY acts like a tongue, simultaneously spacing the boards and holding them down.

Mr. Eberle said, "It makes the deck safer. It takes care of most of the questions or problems people have with decks." The fasteners also have a 100-year life span, according to Mr. Eberle.

His peers are impressed with his invention. It has won the Journal of Light Construction Innovation Award.

"It's been taking off.The hardest part has been getting the product known," he said of getting market place attention for his invention. Recently, Mr. Eberle and his invention were on TV. "Men In Tool Belts," on the Learning Channel, featured Mr. Eberle and the EB-TY. His invention was patented in early 1997 and was on the market in July. Mr. Eberle sells his EB-TY directly through his new company, Blue Heron Enterprises, Incorporated, LLC., and to several national wholesale retailers.

So far Mr. Eberle has sold millions of EB-TY fasteners. Although they're a big success, he has not decided to quit his day job.

"I would like that, but it's a family business, everyone likes the family business, too." he said.
