ADJUSTABLE BUILDING PANEL SUPPORT DEVICE
An adjustable building panel support device comprising a building panel support element, a support bracket and at least one connector suitable for attaching an insulated building panel to a substrate for constructing an insulated wall section. The building support element and the support bracket are fixable together at a user determinable position by the at least one connector whereby the distance between the building panel support element and the support bracket can be varied to accommodate surface variations that may be present on a substrate surface.
Casing accessories
The present disclosure is directed to casing accessories for use with multi-component wall systems. Some of the casing accessories of the present disclosure can include a mounting bracket to attach the accessory to a wall structure and a channel formed in part by a spacer that can be adjusted to adjust the channel width in order to encase components of multi-component wall systems that can vary in width from one installation to another. In another aspect, some of the casing accessories can include one or more drainage canals that direct water from one part of the casing accessories to another. In another aspect, some of the casing accessories can impede fire propagation through multi-component wall systems.
Dual-sided mounting bracket
A dual-sided mounting bracket for a facade support system includes an L-shaped member having a baseplate for securing to a wall structure and a leg extending from and transverse to the baseplate. The leg defines inside and outside surfaces and a plane. The leg has first and second clips formed therein on opposing sides of a height centerline and extending opposite directions from the leg plane. The clips each define an angled opening at free ends thereof and a capture region adjacent to the angled openings. The first and second clips are configured to receive the support member in either the first or second clip. A support system for supporting a facade on a wall structure includes at least two dual-sided mounting brackets and support member.
INCLINE WEDGE FOR A WALL
An incline wedge comprises: a first planar section configured to be fastened to a wall incline having a generally rectangular shape; a retaining section including a second section having a generally rectangular shape and connected by one of its edges to an edge of the first section, referred to as the first edge, by way of an angled section, the retaining section further comprising a clamping section folded back from one edge of the second section, referred to as the third edge, opposite the second edge, and against the second section so as to form a fastening clip, the angled section being designed to adjust the angular orientation between the first section and the second section by way of the deformation of the angled section.
MODULAR WALL STRUCTURE
The modular wall structure comprises multiple primary frames (10) for carrying cladding elements (11) and building service devices (12); a secondary frame (20) for supporting the primary frames (10); and a moving system for moving each primary frame (10) with respect to the secondary frame (20) in six degrees of freedom. The moving system comprises at least three moving units (40) for each primary frame (10). Each moving unit (40) comprises a housing (50) attached to the primary frame (10); a spherical joint bushing (61) inside the housing (50), wherein said joint bushing (61) can be translated parallel to the plane of the primary frame (10); a first drive unit (72) attached to the primary frame (10) for moving the ball joint bushing relative to the housing (50) along a first direction (x) by means of a first shaft (70); a second drive unit (82) attached to the primary frame (10) for moving the ball joint bushing relative to the housing (50) along a second direction (y) perpendicular to the first direction (x) through a second axis (80); and a third drive unit (92) attached to the secondary frame (20) for moving the ball joint bushing relative to the secondary frame (20) in a third direction (z) perpendicular to both the first direction (x) and the second direction (y), through a third shaft. A free end of the first shaft (70) is slidably mounted into a first guide groove of the ball joint bushing, said first guide groove (62) extending in the second direction (y). A free end of the second shaft is slidably mounted in a second guide groove of the ball joint bushing, said second guide groove extending in the first direction (x). A free end of the third shaft is mounted into a ball joint rotatably arranged in said ball joint bushing.
