Continuous wall assemblies and methods

According to one embodiment, an insulated structure includes a frame comprising a plurality of wall studs coupled together and a plurality of foam boards attached to the frame to form a continuous insulative wall. A plurality of fasteners attaches the foam boards to the frame. Each fastener includes an elongate shaft and a cap. The elongate shaft is configured to penetrate through a foam board and into a wall stud to couple the components together. The cap is configured to be positioned atop a foam board to distribute a load relatively evenly to the foam board. A sealing tape is applied across seams between adjacent foam boards and over the fasteners' caps to seal the wall. A sealing caulk is applied to secondary fasteners and penetrations to seal the wall. In some embodiments, the structure has a fastener density of about 1 fastener per 243 in.sup.2 of foam board.

Enlarged head fastener device and method of manufacture

An enlarged head fastener device and method for manufacturing the same is described. The enlarged head fastener device includes a shank and a head. The head extends outwardly from the shank in a transverse plane to define a head periphery. The head has an anterior side and a posterior side. The anterior side includes a bearing surface and a convergent transition portion that reinforces the head. The convergent transition portion extends between a large end adjacent the bearing surface to a small end adjacent the shank. At least one ridge formation projects from the anterior side of the head providing additional reinforcement. The ridge formation extends continuously between an outboard end positioned on the anterior side of the head adjacent the head periphery and an inboard end positioned on the shank. The head may be centered or offset relative to the shank.

Structure and method for securing layers of roofing materials
11971059 · 2024-04-30 ·

A roofing fastener has an anchor plate, a staple, and a hollow shank extending perpendicularly away from the anchor plate. The staple is insertable within the hollow shank, and one or more free ends of the staple is extendable from an opening in a free end of the hollow shank. The anchor plate has a raised bonding surface with adhesive and heat sinks dispersed thereabout. The anchor plate and hollow shank may be separable or a single connected structure. In operation, the roofing fastener is inserted within a substructure about the hollow shank, such that the anchor plate rests atop an upper surface of the substructure. The staple is then depressed within the hollow shank such that one or more free ends of the staple penetrate the substructure at an angle relative to the hollow shank. A single-ply membrane is welded to the anchor plate via the adhesive.
