DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR ASSISTING BUILDING FRAME CONSTRUCTION
A framing system for constructing a wall frame assembly having a framing member and studs. A template of the framing system has an elongated body configured to be located on a surface of the framing member and a series of spaced apart openings corresponding to locations for placement of ends of the studs. A framing guide of the framing system has a body, a passage that is configured to receive a fastener, and a guiding surface within the passage is disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the body to direct the fastener along a predetermined angle and direction relative to a front surface of the body. The template may be used to locate studs onto the framing member. The framing guide may be used to guide the fastener to connect the stud and framing member.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF RECONFIGURING A MODULAR WALL
A method of reconfiguring a modular wall is provided. The modular wall comprises a panel receiver structure with a panel receiving channel; a vertical panel received in the channel of the panel receiver structure; and a first and second fascia trim members. Each of the first and second fascia trim members is configured to be removably attached to opposing first and second sides of the panel receiver structure. The fascia trim members are configured to conceal the panel receiver structure. The method comprises removing at least the second fascia trim member; positioning a second panel receiver structure on the second side of the panel receiver structure, the second panel receiver structure having a second panel receiving channel; positioning a second vertical panel in the second panel receiving channel to be parallel to the vertical panel; and re-installing the removed second fascia trim member to the second panel receiver structure.
Wall system
A wall system includes at least one of a stud assembly, a top connector assembly, and a leveler assembly. The stud assembly is defined by a first and second upright that are attached by at least one web bracket. The web bracket includes a main body with extension arms on opposing sides. A notch is located at or near a free end of each extension arm. The notches are to be removably inserted over an edge of a respective aperture located on each of the first and second uprights. The top connector assembly includes a holder member to effectively raise and lower a top portion of the stud assembly. The leveler assembly includes a threaded rod to effectively raise and lower the first and second uprights relative to a base.
Partition panel having leg with rotation stopper
This panel (1) has a panel body (10) and a leg (20) that supports the panel body (10). The leg (20) has a shaft (22) that is inserted into the panel body (10), and a leg body (21) to which the shaft (22) is fixed and that is disposed outside of the panel body (10). The leg body (21) is provided with a first rotation stopper (31) that is in direct contact with at least either one of the front face (10A) and the back face (10B) of a panel face of the panel body (10) and that stops rotation of the panel body (10) in one direction around the shaft (22), and a second rotation stopper (32) that is configured to stop the rotation of the panel body (10) in the direction opposite to the one direction.
END BRACKETS
An end bracket for a wall system includes a body member having attachment structure to join a horizontal strut to a vertical strut. The end bracket further includes attachment structure in which the horizontal strut is slidably attached for moving and positioning the horizontal strut relative to the vertical strut in forming the wall system.
PILF RESISTANT PACKAGING SYSTEM
A theft-proof packaging system includes a product package including a compartment configured to encapsulate a product. The compartment is in a non-surrounding environmental state, the non-surrounding environmental state being either pneumatically pressurized above a surrounding environment or pneumatically vacuumized below the surrounding environment. A pressure sensor inside the compartment includes a switch, the switch configured to disconnect and connect a power source to a transmitter, wherein the switch is configured to disconnect the power source from the transmitter in the presence of the non-surrounding environmental state inside the compartment and the switch is configured to connect the power source to the transmitter when the compartment equalizes to the surrounding environment. A receiving unit is disposed remote from the product package and receives the signal from the transmitter and sounds an alarm. A passive RFID tag may be located within the compartment and detected when passing through a walk-through scanner.
MODULAR PARTITION AND FABRICATION THEREOF
A modular device adapted for subdividing room space, the modular device comprising: a panel comprising a corrugated portion positioned between a first planar surface and a second planar surface of the panel, wherein the peaks of the corrugated portion are in engagement with the first planar surface, wherein the troughs of the corrugated portion are in engagement with the second planar surface; the first planar surface and the second planar surface each having a first end and a second end; wherein the first and second ends of the first planar surface are respectively opposite relatively to the first and second ends of the second planar surface; the second planar surface is parallel to the first planar surface; wherein the corrugations are is parallel to the vertical axis of the panel; a concave female portion positioned along the vertical axis in the panel, wherein the concave female portion is formed from at least: the first end of the first planar surface, the first end of the second planar surface, and a curved portion from the corrugated portion; a convex male portion positioned along the vertical axis of the panel, wherein the convex male portion is positioned outside of the second end of the first planar surface and the second end of the second planar surface; wherein to extend the length of the panel, the convex male portion of a first panel is adapted to engage with the concave female portion of a second panel.
Pilf resistant packaging system
A theft-proof packaging system includes a product package having a clear compartment configured to encapsulate a product that is pneumatically vacuumized below a surrounding environment. A pressure sensor assembly is located within the compartment, the pressure sensor assembly including a pressure sensor, a power source electrically connected to the pressure sensor, and a transmitter electrically connected to the power source. The transmitter is configured to send a signal and a receiving unit located outside the compartment of the product package and disposed remote from the product package receives said signal and sounds an alarm. The pressure sensor assembly is configured to detect a change in pressure inside the compartment and then send the signal to the receiving unit activating the alarm. A passive RFID tag is located within the compartment and configured to be detected when it passes through a walk-through scanner activating a second alarm.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HAPTIC MAPPING OF A CONFIGURABLE VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT
A method for providing a configurable virtual reality environment comprises receiving virtual reality world implementation data that describes locations of structures within a virtual reality world from a customer at an input interface. The virtual reality world implementation data is mapped to a physical plan describing a physical implementation of the structures within the virtual reality world using a mapping controller. The physical plan provides indexing and reference points with respect to the physical implementation of the structures in the virtual reality word enabling the physical plan to define the structures in the real world using the mapping controller. Configurable hardware components necessary to build the physical implementation of the structures in the virtual reality world are determined responsive to the physical plan and a listing of available configurable hardware using a parts list controller. A parts list of the configurable hardware components necessary to build the physical implementation of the structures of the virtual reality world is generated using the parts list controller responsive to the determination. The customer is provided with the physical plan describing the physical implementation of the structures within the virtual reality world, the parts list and the configurable hardware components needed to build the physical plan.
