20200308830 · 2020-10-01 ·

Modular structures for creating functional spaces are disclosed herein. The modular structures can include partitions, such as walls, storefronts, and/or doors that can be easily assembled in a desired space and selectively paired together to create a desired floorplan suitable for the environment. The modular structures may also include plumbing assemblies to facilitate the install of toilets. These modular structures can be used together to create a suitable layout for a co-working space, an office environment, a school, a hospital, a laboratory, a factory, and various other indoor spaces.

Profile and Construction Element Set for Arranging a Component for Drywall Construction, and Drywall Formed Therewith

The invention relates to a profile for arranging a component for a drywall construction, in particular a profile for a preferably ceiling-side fastening of a drywall, preferably a profile for a drywall comprising a panelled stud frame. Furthermore, the invention relates to a construction element set and to a drywall having such a profile. The invention provides a profile of the aforementioned generic type that can accommodate a possible relative movement of components of a drywall construction in an improved manner. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the profile has, in its cross section, substantially a U shape which comprises a web and two adjoining flanges, wherein the flanges are each designed to be resilient to the same degree and/or in the same manner in the direction which is substantially orthogonal to the web surface.

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.

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.

Expandable wall start for a movable wall

An expandable wall start for attaching a movable wall to an end face of an existing structural wall. The wall start includes a pair of clips and a pair of cladding rails. Each clip includes a first fastener portion configured to attach to the movable wall and a second fastener portion including ratchet teeth. The cladding rails are configured to cover at least a portion of the end face of the structural wall. Each rail includes a first leg and a second leg; the first leg includes ratchet teeth on an interior surface. The first leg of each cladding rail is received within the second fastener portion of each clip, and the ratchet teeth of each first leg are configured to engage the ratchet teeth of the second fastener portion of each clip. The wall start is expandable to accommodate structural walls having different widths.
