| 20080289278 | Framing system for mounting flexible sheets - A framing system for mounting flexible sheets of material, such as screening in an opening in a wall or porch includes U-shaped channels, or lineals, having at least one external built-in groove for receiving a spline strip for holding an edge of the sheet in place in the groove. Four lineals define a rectangular opening over which the sheet is stretched and then secured in place by jamming its edges into the external spline grooves of the surrounding four lineals with the spline strips to hold the sheet in place. Universal fasteners hold the lineals to the porch walls. The universal fasteners also have alignment grooves on their upper surface, lower surface or both of these surfaces that are useful for receiving an alignment string or wire to align a series of the fasteners across a surface so that they are in line to receive and accurately align a single lineal or multiple lineals arranged end to end. | 11-27-2008 |

The fastener is preferably a nail. Components of the building material are preferably attached to the frame of the structure through the use of a single row of nails while maintaining or enhancing the shear strength performance of the building board system. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110056159 | NON-COMBUSTIBLE REINFORCED CEMENTITIOUS LIGHTWEIGHT PANELS AND METAL FRAME SYSTEM FOR FLOORING - A flooring system including horizontal metal framing members, for example, C-joists, U-joists, open web joists, HAMBRO or other metal frame systems that support a reinforced, lightweight, dimensionally stable SCP panel. The flooring system is non-combustible, water durable, mold and rot resistant, termite resistant and is capable of resisting shear loads equal to or exceeding shear loads provided by plywood or oriented strand board panels. The panels employ one or more layers of a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of inorganic binder, for example, calcium sulfate alpha hemihydrate, hydraulic cement, an active pozzolan and lime. The continuous phase is reinforced with glass fibers and contains lightweight filler particles, for example, ceramic microspheres. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110146181 | Prefabricated reinforced concrete panel curtain-wall system - A prefabricated curtain-wall system comprises an assembly of reinforced concrete panels. The reinforcement of the concrete is provided by a grid of horizontal and vertical metal rods, tied together where they cross. Connection between two adjacent panels utilizes an external bracket with two bolts, each bolt mating with a nut protruding from a slotted bracket embedded in each of two adjacent panels The embedded brackets have eyelets for passage of a rod of the reinforcing grid. The lowermost panels of the system are anchored to the building foundation, thus the load of the entire curtain wall system and the embedded reinforcing grid can be transmitted to the foundation. The system incorporates means of adjusting the fitting together of panels to compensate for minor deviations in the dimensions and elevations of construction elements. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110146182 | MODULAR SYSTEM FOR A FACADE STRUCTURE - A modular system for a façade structure for a building comprising panels and panel retaining elements for mounting the panels to the building and method for producing said facade. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110232219 | OVERHEAD PANEL AND INSTALLATION SYSTEM - An overhead panel assembly for coupling to a drop ceiling includes a support channel and a clip coupling the support channel to a grid member of the drop ceiling. The overhead panel assembly further includes a vertical panel received over and coupled to the support member with a plurality of binding members. A plurality of clips, support channels, and vertical panels may be positioned in series along a drop ceiling to form a decorative soffit, valance, display, or other structure. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20120031030 | HINGED CLIP TO ELIMINATE RAIL - A panel array support assembly has a lower support joist to which are directly connected panel holding devices or clips. The panel clips are configured so that the length of each clip extends along the length of the lower support joist. The panel clips are preferable configured to have a sliding top arm, which holds the upper edge of the panel, and slides back so that they panel can be placed on a lower holding arm. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20130008116 | CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY INCLUDING STACKABLE SUBSTRUCTURE FRAMES AND DISTINCT COMBINED TIE CONNECTION AND REINFORCING MEANS - A stackable modular building enclosure assembly and system including in combination a plurality of prefabricated substructure frames superposed, one above the other, and a combined connection tie and frame reinforcing sustainer member for constructing straight, angled or arced building enclosures including walls and roofs. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, prefabricated substructure frames include preinstalled interior and exterior facer members and utilize a hollow cavity to easily accommodate a hidden locating means for receiving a distinct tie and sustainer element. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20140157706 | Formed Stud with Integral Diaphragm Section - The invention relates generally to building construction, and more particularly to studs for use in wall panels used in the construction of foundation walls and upper floor exterior walls. The invention provides a structural wall system to support building loads and lateral earth pressure from adjacent ground, said system comprising a wall assembly using plurality of studs preferably formed from metal located side by side and each having a cross section comprising an orthogonal lip section with interior flange section, a web section, and an exterior diaphragm section orthogonal to the web section and having a first recessed shoulder on the open distal end and a second recessed shoulder on the bend line integral with the web section. The wall system may be assembled using a standard steel channel as a starting point. The stud diaphragm of the present invention extends laterally from the web portion with the distal edge to be aligned with and fastened to the standard steel channel. A second stud is then installed by aligning and fastening the distal edge of such stud to the second recessed shoulder of the preceding stud to form a continuous diaphragm surface as studs are similarly connected to one another. | 06-12-2014 |
