Interlocking panels and rail for an enclosure
A rail for an enclosure includes a horizontal leg configured to alternatively secure with a roof and a skid/tank of the enclosure. A first leg of the rail connects perpendicularly to the horizontal leg and a second leg connected perpendicular to the horizontal leg and opposes the first leg. The first leg and the second leg form a channel to receive a wall of the enclosure.
Elongated Composite Profile and Method for Mounting the Same
An elongated composite profile has a first flange and a second flange. The first flange and the second flange together form an L-profile. Each of the flanges, inside the L-profile have a first rib and a second rib, respectively. The first flange, the second flange, the first rib and the second rib form a longitudinal closed channel in the composite profile. A method is for mounting the same.
Suspension rails for panel veneer systems
The present invention relates to the field of mortarless, brick- and stone-like veneer systems for walls. More particularly, the present invention relates to suspension rails for providing mortarless or mortar-optional installations of brick- and stone-like panels for covering walls. Embodiments of the invention provide a cage-type suspension rail configured to be partially embedded in the panel and a universal hanging bracket that provides pullout resistance for the panels. An exemplary suspension rail comprises: a first four-sided frame with horizontally and vertically disposed sides; a plurality of posts disposed on and perpendicular to the first frame or the cross bars; a second four-sided frame in communication with the plurality of posts; an upper tab in communication with the first frame for connecting the rail to a surface; wherein the upper tab is disposed outside a perimeter of the first frame and a perimeter of a second frame.
Method of supporting tubing and other linear elements
A system of supports for running lengths of tubing between points in a facility independent of wiring carried by cable trays. In an embodiment, each support includes a support assembly including lengths of strut channel and channel clamps secured to the strut channel. In an embodiment, each support includes a generally vertical bar attached to a structural member of the facility, one or two support assemblies clamped to the vertical body, and a removable support bracket carried by at least one of the strut channels. Moveable clamps above the support bracket support lengths of tubing.
Cover for C-shaped stud
A cover for a C-shaped stud comprising a semi-rigid plate having a first face with a first end and a second end, the distance between the first and second end sufficient to cover the space between the L-shaped legs of the C-shaped stud. A pair of U-shaped clips each positioned proximal to opposite ends of the plate and configured to engage each L-shaped flange of the stud enabling the cover to be applied to the C-shaped stud by bending the plate sufficiently to permit the leg of each L-shaped flange to fit within the U-shaped clip. A further embodiment incorporating a spring means configured to be biased so as to be positioned within the C-shaped stud to engage one of the L-shaped flanges to provide a biasing force on the cover to secure the cover to the C-shaped stud.
Interconnector and a bed using the same
An interconnector includes a plate and two pockets. The plate comprising a top and a bottom for contact with a beam. The pockets are formed on the top of the plate. Each of the pockets includes an opening. The openings of the pockets are located on opposite lateral sides of the plate. The openings allow the pockets to receive two bars in parallel to each other in substantially opposite directions.
Purlin construction and mounting system for flat roof structures
A purlin mounting system for use in a flat roof structure includes a purlin with a flat mounting wall and an upright wall extending perpendicularly from the mounting wall. First and second mounting shelves are attached to the upright wall and extend outwardly in opposite directions. Each mounting wall is positioned to receive an edge of a roof section thereon. The flat mounting wall and the upright wall define a vertical mounting channel extending from a lower surface of the flat mounting wall a distance less than the distance of the first and second mounting shelves from the mounting wall. A purlin positioning and mounting device is designed to be attached to a roof beam and includes a vertically extending support wall designed to extend upwardly from a supporting roof beam when attached to the supporting roof beam and to nest within the mounting channel.
Weight optimized thin wall structures and weight optimization system tool
A thin wall profile member (TPM) with a cross-sectional shape and dimensions constant along its length is pre-constructed for use as a load carrying, weight optimized structural element. The TPM includes at least one main strip and at least one additional strip each having longitudinal reinforcing ribs. The at least one additional strip has a width that does not exceed a width of the at least one main strip and has a thickness that equals or exceeds a thickness of the at least one main strip. The ratio of the width of the at least one additional strip to the width of the at least one main strip has a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1. The ratio of the thickness of the at least one additional strip to the thickness of the at least one main strip has a value that is greater than or equal to 1.
METHOD OF SUPPORTING TUBING AND OTHER LINEAR ELEMENTS
A system of supports for running lengths of tubing between points in a facility independent of wiring carried by cable trays. In an embodiment, each support includes a support assembly including lengths of strut channel and channel clamps secured to the strut channel. In an embodiment, each support includes a generally vertical bar attached to a structural member of the facility, one or two support assemblies clamped to the vertical body, and a removable support bracket carried by at least one of the strut channels. Moveable clamps above the support bracket support lengths of tubing.
