A pre-formed header assembly creates a rough wall opening for a metal door/frame, permitting completion of electrical, ducting, drywall, etc. prior to receiving/installing the door frame. The header is secured to first and second king studs at respective locations positioned beyond a desired door frame location. The header includes four different channels, one of which is utilized at two locations. The first channel has a first length to span between the king studs. The second channel has a second length, and the third channel a third length, which correspond to minimum dimensional requirements for completing the wall. The base of the second and third channels are each fixedly secured to the base of the first channel. The base of the fourth and fifth channels are fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the base of the first channel, respectively, substantially perpendicular thereto, for attachment to the king studs.

A smart wall comprises: a frame structure including a mounting cell; an electronic product disposed in the mounting cell; and an art wall covering the front of the frame structure, wherein the frame structure comprises: a first steel section; a second steel section which includes a second fastening part formed at the end thereof and is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the first steel section; a first fastening part which includes multiple first fastening holes arranged in the width direction of the first steel section; the second fastening part which is located at the end of the second steel section and includes multiple second fastening holes corresponding to the multiple first fastening holes; and fastening screws passing through the first fastening part and the second fastening part, and the first fastening part comprises multiple first fastening parts disposed at predetermined intervals in the extension direction of the first steel section. Accordingly, various frame structures can be implemented and thus reduced manufacturing costs can be achieved.

The present invention describes an interlocking metal framing system where two concentric support members slide between each other to enable the support member to form a longer length without using extensions to add the additional length to the support members whether installed as vertical support members for a wall; or as horizontal support members for ceiling support members; or as floor-ceiling support members. The concentric support members have notches together to form a longer support member. The connector can be a clip connecting the two concentric support members together whether installed vertically or horizontally; or by having a longitudinal spacing-bracing member pass through the apertures connecting the perimeter notches of adjacent support members. The perimeter notches interlock the spacing-bracing member to the two concentric support members together eliminating vertical and horizontal movement between the concentric support members as well as the adjacent support members. The apertures are setback from both ends or both concentric support members allowing the additional length to be projected above or below the concentric support members.

A stud layout locker and associated method having a longitudinal beam. A tab end at one end of the longitudinal beam defines an upstanding tab and a pair of opposing slots sized to receivingly engage a stud web. A slot end at the opposing end of the longitudinal beam has a flange defining a portion of a slot. The tab and slot are sized so that the tab of a first stud layout locker is insertable into the slot of a second stud layout locker and so that the tab is substantially parallel and adjacent the flange.

A stud wall restraint system for in-plane building movement isolation uses a channel having side flanges and a web therebetween. The web has intermittent elongate longitudinal slots orientated along a longitudinal axis of the channel and the web comprises intermittent integrally formed fold out connectors which comprise elongate slots. The channel can be used for arrangements that allow for non-axial loadbearing walls to accommodate in-plane vertical and horizontal building movements whilst providing for enhanced structural restraint and resistance against out-of-plane transverse actions.

A pre-formed header assembly creates a rough wall opening for a metal door/frame, permitting completion of electrical, ducting, drywall, etc. prior to receiving/installing the door frame. The header is secured to first and second king studs at respective locations positioned beyond a desired door frame location. The header includes four different channels, one of which is utilized at two locations. The first channel has a first length to span between the king studs. The second channel has a second length, and the third channel a third length, which correspond to minimum dimensional requirements for completing the wall.

The base of the fourth and fifth channels are fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the base of the first channel, respectively, substantially perpendicular thereto, for attachment to the king studs.

A support apparatus 100 is disclosed herein. In a described embodiment, the support apparatus 100 comprises a connector plate 202 having a connector primary plate 204 for mounting to a support structure 104, and opposing side leg portions 210,212 integrally formed with the connector primary plate 204 and projecting from the connector primary plate 204. Each of the opposing side leg portions 210,212 includes engaging members 222 for attaching the side leg portions 210,212 to respective side walls of an elongate support member 300. A load bearing connector is also disclosed, among other components.

A containment system may include four different widths of panel assemblies, at least four different types of corner assemblies, various types of door assemblies, multiple types of three-way corners or T intersections, multiple types of exhaust panel assemblies, multiple types of wall seal assemblies, and other components that form a modular system capable of adapting to various configurations using a minimal number of fasteners, brackets, and/or clamps. Each panel assembly includes a lower assembly, an upper assembly slideably attached to the lower assembly, at least one adjustment mechanism that interfaces with both the lower assembly and the upper assembly, and a sealing member extending between the upper assembly and the lower assembly.

A wall construction panel 1 for the setting up of walls for exhibition stand construction includes four frame elements 2, 3, 4, each of which having a groove and being connected to a rectangular frame with a peripheral frame groove pointing to the frame inside. The frame groove is formed by the grooves of the frame elements 2, 3, 4 and a panel 5 is inserted into the frame groove. Two of the four frame elements 2, 3, 4 are configured as frame elements 2, 3 extending in a vertical direction Y, one of which is configured as a pillar element 2 and the other one as an edge element 3. Two others of the four frame elements 2, 3, 4 are configured as framework elements 4 extending in a horizontal direction X where each of the framework elements 4 bears with a horizontal end on the pillar element 2 and the edge element 3 is placed with a first horizontal section 31 between the framework elements 4 and projects with a second horizontal section 32 horizontally over the framework elements 4. The edge element 3 is formed by a one-piece metal or plastic element and has a cross-section configured as a U-shape perpendicularly to the vertical direction Y, wherein the U-shape is open towards the frame inside and is formed by two side walls 30 that are spaced from each other throughout the first horizontal section 31 and that are connected with each other exclusively in the second horizontal section 32, wherein the edge element 3 has in the second horizontal section 32 a maximal width in a transverse direction Z, that is perpendicular to both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, that is less than a width of the groove of the pillar element 2 in the transverse direction Z, wherein in particular the pillar element 2 has at least one receiving groove that is configured identical to the groove of the pillar element 2 into which the panel 5 is inserted.

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.
