Wall connection system
A wall connection system is disclosed, which includes a horizontal building frame component with a first vertical face that has a first slot. The system further includes a prefabricated wall structure with a plurality of parallel studs and an elongate member connect to each stud. The elongate member has a second vertical face with a second slot and is parallel to the first vertical face. The long axis of the first slot is perpendicular to the long axis of the second slot. A fastener assembly connects the horizontal building frame component to the wall structure, through the slots.
PANEL ENCLOSURE SYSTEM
Disclosed is a panel enclosure system for enclosing partially unenclosed structures. The system includes a panel member assembly preferably comprising at least two panel members and a securing member that removably secures the panel member assembly over the unenclosed portion of a structure. The panel members of the panel member assembly may be individually removed to vary the degree of exposure to outdoor weather and environmental conditions. Preferably, the panel members comprising the panel member assembly vary in degree of transparency such that users may vary the level of visual exposure to the surrounding outdoor environment by adding or removing panel members.
WALL SEAL
A system for sealing a space defined between a modular wall and a permanent structure includes a sealing material connected to the permanent structure and the modular wall and spanning the space defined therebetween. The sealing material is configured to transform from an expanded state to a recovered state in response to a stimulus to form a seal. The stimulus can be, for example, heat, whereby heating the sealing material at or above the transition temperature for the sealing material causes the sealing material to transition from the expanded state to the recovered state.
Two-piece track system
A fire-rated receiver channel includes at least one intumescent or other fire-resistant material strip. The receiver channel can nest with a framing member, such as metal tracks, headers, header tracks, sill plates, bottom tracks, metal studs, wood studs or wall partitions, and placed at a perimeter of a wall assembly to create a fire block arrangement. In other arrangements, a track assembly includes two nested tracks, an inner track and outer track. The assembly is designed so that the outside width of the outer track is equal to or less than the outside width of the inner track to present a substantially flush external surface for attachment of exterior sheathing elements when the assembly is used in an external wall.
PARTITION WALL STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING SAME
A partition wall has a structure with a wall end portion butted against another building structure and exposed to architectural spaces. An end post at the end portion of the wall is constituted from first and second end post elements, which are spaced apart from each other, so that a gap or an isolation zone interrupting a propagation of a solid vibration or insulating a path for propagating the solid vibration is formed between the first and second elements. An interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on one side of the wall is fixed to the first element and the interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on an opposite side of the wall is fixed to the second element.
Drift track
A connection between supporting and supported structural members, particularly between curtain walls and interior support structures, wherein the connector is a member having first portion and a second portion joined at a junction and the second portion is formed with a plurality of elongated slots and the connector rides in a track attached to the first structural member.
Wall element for a partition wall, and partition wall
Wall element (101) for a partition wall (100), comprising a first and a second wall panel (115, 116) extending parallel to each other between an upper side and an underside of the wall element, wherein the wall element (101) is configured close to the upper side and the underside thereof to be arranged standing upright between a horizontal upper post (103) to be mounted on a ceiling and a horizontal lower post (102) to be mounted on a floor, wherein an elongate profile (122) which extends between the upper and underside is arranged between the first and the second wall panel (115, 116) close to a lateral end surface of the wall element (101), and one of the first and the second wall panel (115, 116) extends beyond the other of the first and the second wall panel (115, 116) in horizontal direction, and wherein an elongate covering element (117) extending between the upper side and underside is arranged on the profile (112) on an outer side of the lateral end surface.
Wall Element for a Partition Wall, and Partition Wall
Wall element (101) for a partition wall (100), comprising a first and a second wall panel (115, 116) extending parallel to each other between an upper side and an underside of the wall element, wherein the wall element (101) is configured close to the upper side and the underside thereof to be arranged standing upright between a horizontal upper post (103) to be mounted on a ceiling and a horizontal lower post (102) to be mounted on a floor, wherein an elongate profile (122) which extends between the upper and underside is arranged between the first and the second wall panel (115, 116) close to a lateral end surface of the wall element (101), and one of the first and the second wall panel (115, 116) extends beyond the other of the first and the second wall panel (115, 116) in horizontal direction, and wherein an elongate covering element (117) extending between the upper side and underside is arranged on the profile (112) on an outer side of the lateral end surface.
Dry Partition Wall System and Method for Installation of a Dry Partition Wall System of this Kind
The invention relates to a dry partition wall system (1) comprising a plurality of wall elements (2; 2); a floor-side connection element (3) extending over several wall elements (2; 2), a ceiling-side connection element (4) extending over several wall elements (2; 2), wherein the plurality of wall elements (2; 2) are arranged side by side and are retained on the floor-side connection element (3) and on the ceiling side-connection element (4) and thus jointly form a partition wall, and wherein the wall elements (2; 2) are of multi-layer design. This dry partition wall system (1) is characterized in that each wall element (2) comprises a planking (22, 23) on both sides, with an insulating layer arranged in between, that one of the plankings (23) is of multi-part design, and that the plankings (22, 23) encompass the floor-side connection element (3) and the ceiling-side connection element (4) at the outer side. The invention relates further to a method for installing a dry partition wall system (I) of this kind. By means of the invention the installation of the dry partition wall system (1) is facilitated and an attractive optical appearance with good sound insulation effect is achieved.
