SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FRAMING COMPONENTS INCLUDING BRACKETS WITH FLEX-FIT FLANGES
A bracket is disclosed. The bracket is coupled to a joist by rotating the bracket relative to the joist until the longitudinal axis of the bracket is aligned in parallel orientation with the longitudinal axis of the joist to achieve a snap-in engagement. The bracket includes a first bracket section having a first lateral wing and an opposite second lateral wing extending outwardly from a base of the first bracket section and a second bracket section that is aligned in perpendicular orientation relative to the first bracket section. The first lateral wing is configured to flex relative to the base, and the second lateral wing is configured to flex relative to the base during engagement of the bracket to a joist.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BRACKET CONFIGURATIONS OF A FRAMING ASSEMBLY
A framing assembly is disclosed. The framing assembly includes a bracket defining a first bracket section and a second bracket section aligned in perpendicular relation relative to the first bracket section along a bracket bend. The bracket includes a first slit and a second slit formed along the second bracket section. The first slit and the second slit define a tapered or triangular shape. The first bracket section includes a plurality of linear sides and corners defined along the linear sides. The first bracket section may be coupled to a joist by disposing the first bracket section within an interior portion of a joist defined by a web, flanges, and returns of the joist. The linear sides and the corners of the bracket facilitate the bracket to snap in place within the interior portion of the joist and the first slit and the second slit receive the returns of the joist.

TENSILE MEMBRANE STRUCTURE BUILDING SYSTEM
A tensile membrane structure building system (10) including several standard extruded structural members (12) of the same cross-sectional profile. These standard structural members (12) have a rectangular cross-sectional profile with four sides (50.1-50.4) oriented at right angles to each other at four corners (52.1-52.4), each side including formations that define at least one channel (54) extending along a length of the structural members. By means of fasteners (80) that cooperate with the channels, standard structural members may be interlocked so as to form a framework (14). Each side of the standard structural member also include two slots (58) located on either side of the channel or channels towards the corners, the slots configured to receive and hold an edge of a membrane (16).

Hexahedron unit for prefabricated buildings and method of assembling the hexahedron units
The present invention is a technology concerning hexahedron units, and discloses the inventive novel frame structures and frame joint technology for facilitating the assembly of different units. The inventive hexahedron units may be assembled to fit location conditions so as to construct a building regardless of the size and shape of the land, and also disassembled so as to be removed to another place for construction, thus providing high reusability.
Storage system
A storage system includes a storage grid structure and multiple remotely operated storage bin handling vehicles. The storage grid structure includes vertical storage column profiles defining multiple storage columns in which storage bins can be stored one on top of another in vertical stacks. Each of the storage column profiles have an upper end and a lower end and the storage column profiles are interconnected at their upper ends by rails forming a horizontal rail grid upon which the bin handling vehicles may move in two perpendicular directions. The storage grid structure features grid supports include multiple base angle brackets. Each base angle bracket includes a vertical flange and a horizontal flange. The vertical flange is connected to a storage column profile. The horizontal flange is connected by bolts to a floor upon which the storage grid is arranged and a web interconnecting the flanges. Each of the flanges has a first end and a second end. The first end is arranged closer than the second end to the lower end of the storage column profile to which the vertical flange is connected. The web has a recess arranged between the first ends of the flanges.
Metrideck Rapid Deployment and Reconfigurable Structural System for temporary or semi-permanent buildings such as trade show displays, corporate lobbies, or Museum Displays
A rapid deployment and reuseable, multi-level structural system called Metrideck that uses traditional types of walls structures and handrail. Metrideck system includes (a) a set of vertical columns each with a set of attachment features; (b) a set of pre-manufactured beams each said beam with a set of attachment features; (c) a Quicset for connecting beam and columns; (d) a deck panel with hardware to attach it to the beams and with slots to attach a hanger bracket to connect to the wall structure; (e) a series of curbing that encircles the deck panel perimeter with a set of attachment features; (f) a stair system; and (g) a set of handrail/guardrails wherein the decking system maintains a modular relationship to the mating wall structures, provides multiple platform configurations, uses fewer components, and provides a higher strength to weight ratio compared to other rapid deployment structural systems.
