A bracket system, for suspending pergola beams from an existing structure, the existing structure having a vertical wall and roof rafters that each have a rafter top and a rafter end that extends beyond the vertical wall over a ground surface, each of the pergola beams having a supported end, including a plurality of brackets. Each bracket having a mounting assembly for attaching to one of the rafters, a support assembly for attaching the support end of one of the pergola beams, and a connecting assembly that suspends the support assembly from the mounting assembly. The pergola beams extend over the ground surface, away from the existing structure, supported only by the bracket at the support end and without any vertical supports.

The present invention comprises a structure for coverage formed by various structural elements, in particular a main element comprising one piece (stringer), said stringer (1) comprising in its basic embodiment a steel plate approximately 1-2 mm thick, conformed in a characteristic way by a tool in a continuous process, said shape essentially longitudinal, comprising several holes (5, 7) and pairs of fins (9), also known as shields in your extension, arranged modularly in a characteristic fashion in a basic pre-determined pattern, the piece (stringer) (1) being capable of being made in several lengths, being connected to one another by connecting plates (6) of characteristic geometry.

An inflatable light concentrating mirror (10) comprising a first transparent sheet (1) and a second reflective sheet (2), wherein the first sheet and second sheet are connected or sealed to each other, whereby a void is provided there-between, the void being adapted to receive a gas so as to inflate the light concentrating mirror, characterized in that the mirror further comprises tensioning means (14) adapted to produce a defined longitudinal tension (11) in at least the second sheet (2) such that wrinkles or creases therein are significantly reduced. The tensioning means comprises one or more tensioning devices (14) adapted to be attached to at least one mirror end or one free end of the second sheet, the tensioning device is configured to provide a pulling force (11) on the second sheet so as to provide the longitudinal tension.

Disclosed is a suspended ceiling system, a securing member, and process of installing a patterned suspended ceiling system. The suspended ceiling system includes a grid system having first members and second members, and at least one substrate which extends below the grid system. The at least one substrate has an exposed surface and a concealed surface, and the at least one substrate has first sides and second sides which extend between the exposed surface and the concealed surface. Securing members attach to the concealed surface proximate the first sides, and the securing members have grid engagement members which secure the at least one substrate to the grid system. The securing members cooperate with the first members and the second members of the grid system to properly position the substrate and the spacing between adjacent at least one substrates is controlled.

Disclosed in the present invention is a cable dome structure using continuous ridge cables. A structure system includes n same plane trusses which are distributed in the radial direction and each consist of continuous cables and rods, the plane trusses being connected by means of k?1 circles of hoop cables to form a stable whole. The cable dome structure consists of ridge cables, hoop cables and pressing rods. Each ridge cable starts from a lower joint of a pressing rod and sequentially passes through upper joints of outer side pressing rods, and all the ridge cables converge on a support joint. The ridge cables have overlaps. Upper joints of the pressing rods and inner side adjacent cables are fixedly connected, and lower joints of the pressing rods and the hoop cables are fixedly connected, the cables slidably passing through the joints.
