Supplemental support structure for a hot aisle/cold aisle forming apparatus having vertical supports and a grid of parallel and perpendicular rows of elongated grid members attached to and supported by the vertical supports is disclosed. The supplemental support structure may include vertical support caps attached to the hot aisle/cold aisle forming apparatus above the vertical supports and the grid of parallel and perpendicular rows of elongated grid members and a grid of elongated cross supports. Each of the elongated cross supports may be connected to and supported by at least two of the vertical support caps at an angle of other than 0, 90, 180, and 270 with the parallel and perpendicular rows of elongated grid members.

A structural member with a central portion that has a first piece and a second piece which form a cross-sectional L-shape configuration along a longitudinal axis is disclosed herein. When fastened to a horizontal bar, the first piece of the structural member may come into contact with a portion of the horizontal bar, thereby preventing the structural member from rotating. The structural member includes a connection component that extends from an end of the first piece, and the connection component extends substantially perpendicular to the first piece. The connection component may be configured in at least two different embodiments in that the connection component may include two holes or three holes. The implementation of more than one hole on the connection component allows the structural member to be universal in that it can be implemented on varying sized storage racks that employ different sized horizontal bars.

A connecting element is provided for connecting an essentially vertically arranged or arrangeable upright for a non-bearing wall structure with an essentially horizontal bar, in particular a steel profile with a U-shaped cross section, preferably a ceiling profile, to allow a sliding compensation movement in essentially the vertical direction, and with at least one fastening section for fastening to the bar or the preferable ceiling profile of a load-bearing or non-loading-bearing ceiling structure and with a least one sliding guide for the upright.

A connector for connecting two stud members in a stud wall comprises a block element made from a polymeric material, the block element comprising a main body portion configured for insertion into an end of a first stud member, the main body portion comprising four substantially orthogonal side walls, an engagement slot being provided in a first one of the side walls and the engagement slot extending in a direction towards an opposite second one of the side walls; an attachment portion extending from the main body portion, the attachment portion including a pair of locking wings configured to engage with a second stud member such that, in use, a part of the second stud member is disposed in gaps between the locking wings and the main body portion; and a plate slot extending through a part of the attachment portion and through a part of the main body portion. The connector further comprising a plate element made from a metallic material, the plate element comprising first and second side edges and a notch in each of the first and second side edges, the plate element being disposed in the plate slot of the block element such that the notches of the plate element are aligned with the gaps in the block element.

A strut channel support system including a first brace, a second brace, and a fastening mechanism connects at least two channel struts in a multi-orientable fashion. The first brace and the second brace both possess a U-shaped channel, a base, a fastener-engagement point, and a strut-engagement point. The base is terminally connected to the U-shaped channel, the fastener-engagement point is centrally integrated into the base, and the strut-attachment feature is integrated into the U-shaped channel. This permits the base to retain the rear portion of a strut channel. The U-shaped channel perimetrically braces the lateral sides of the strut channel. The first brace and the second brace attach to each other via the fastener-engagement point. The fastener-engagement point of the first brace and the fastener-engagement point of the second brace are mechanically coupled to each other. This enables a user to adjust the orientation between at least two strut channels.

The present invention relates to a metal framing connector spanning between support members secured by having web-flange notches engaging the aperture of support members or where adjacent connectors overlap web-flange notches by changing the connector widths or where the connector has added lips with lip notches to engage the support members or where the flange-notches can have a continuous web notch engage the aperture bottom edge or where one end of the connector has a web extension with hook tongue for tongue end to engage a hole receiver in the web of an adjacent connector or where the aperture bottom edge projects and extends into the continuous web notch or where hole notches or hole projections will hold the connector from moving horizontally or vertically within the apertures.

A connector for framing material comprises: a limiting member, a connecting member and a first screw. The hexagon portion of the first screw is received between the first stopping plate and the second stopping plate of the limiting member. The through hole of the connecting member is passed by the first screw to form a pre-lock assembly of the limiting member and the connecting member. The first stopping plate and the second stopping plate parallel to the accepting slot direction to place the limiting member in the U-shaped frame, and then the connecting member is rotated and to make a cross with the U-shaped frame, such that the first screw drives the limiting member to rotate to perpendicular to the U-shaped frame.
