In a joint structure of steel beam structure, a bracket is coupled and fixed to the lateral side of a large beam or a pillar and a steel beam is coupled to the bracket such that the steel beam is coupled to the lateral side of the large beam or the pillar. One end of the bracket is coupled to the lateral side of the large beam or the pillar, and the other end is inclined such that the lower part thereof forms an acute angle, wherein a first attachment plate is coupled to the inclined end part of the bracket such that a fixed length thereof protrudes from the upper end of the bracket. The lower part of one end of the steel beam is inclined at an obtuse angle so as to correspond to the other inclined end of the bracket.

A bracket assembly comprising an elongated bracket member and an end wall support member. The elongated bracket member has a body wall having an inner end and an outer end. A first end wall extends from the inner end of the body wall and a second end wall extends from the outer end. The end wall support member is attached to each of the first end wall and the second end wall. The bracket member further comprises a plurality of fibers within a resin matrix. The plurality of fibers includes at least one fiber fabric extending from the first end wall to the second end wall.

This invention relates to a modular walling system. The system includes a plurality of primary structural members. Each primary structural member has a generally channel-shaped cross-sectional profile with an outer wall defining surface and two flanges extending away from the outer wall defining surface. The system further includes a securing means which is configured to apply a securing force to retain pairs of primary structural members in a side-by-side relationship. The securing means is configured to secure adjacent flanges of respective pairs of the primary structural members such that the adjacent flanges are held together in secure face-to-face abutment by the securing force. A primary corner member having a solid construction is connectable between a first primary structural member with its outer wall defining surface extending in a first direction, and a second primary structural member with its outer wall defining surface extending in a second direction.

A bracket system, for suspending pergola beams from an existing structure, the existing structure having a vertical wall and roof rafters that each have a rafter top and a rafter end that extends beyond the vertical wall over a ground surface, each of the pergola beams having a supported end, including a plurality of brackets. Each bracket having a mounting assembly for attaching to one of the rafters, a support assembly for attaching the support end of one of the pergola beams, and a connecting assembly that suspends the support assembly from the mounting assembly. The pergola beams extend over the ground surface, away from the existing structure, supported only by the bracket at the support end and without any vertical supports.

The present invention provides a fastener alignment guide comprising a generally planar body and an angled element arranged at an acute angle θ to the body, a first aperture arranged through the angled element and a second aperture arranged through the body, wherein the first aperture and the second apertures are aligned such that a fastener may be inserted progressively through the first and second apertures in use. The present invention also provides a slip-resisting fastener alignment guide comprising a body at least partially arranged in a first plane, the body comprising a first aperture for receiving, in use, at least a portion of a shank of a fastener; and a guidewall extending out of the first plane for guiding the fastener, in use, into the first aperture at an acute angle α to the first plane, wherein the guidewall comprises a first bearing edge or surface upon which an underside of a head of the fastener can bear in use, the body further comprises a second bearing edge or surface upon which the underside of the head of the fastener can bear in use, and the first bearing edge or surface and the second bearing edge or surface are each configured/arranged to resist movement, in use, of the fastener alignment guide relative to the fastener in a first direction parallel to the first plane.

The present invention also provides a method of forming the fastener alignment guide and slip-resisting fastener alignment guide.

The invention relates to a bracket for connecting components for a drywall construction, in particular a bracket for a slidable fastening, preferably a slidable ceiling-side fastening, in the framework of a drywall, preferably a bracket for a drywall with a planked, preferably multi-planked, framework. Furthermore, the invention relates to an assembly kit and a drywall with at least one such bracket, as well as the use of such a bracket in dry wall construction.

A cladding system including a panel guide, wherein said panel guide is configured to provide alignment and spacing between panels. The panel guide having a central gap, at least one or more weather strip mounting area, and a mounting extension, wherein said mounting extension is configured to mount said panel guide to the wall. The cladding system further include a U cover that is configured to install in the central gap. The U cover includes a screw cover place holder that is configured to secure a screw cover for covering a fastening screw that is used to secure the panel guide and said U cover to the wall.

An adjustable support system has a base bracket member, a clip member, and an outer bracket. The base bracket member has a first end wall that overlays a substrate, a body wall extending outwardly therefrom and a second end wall opposite the first end wall. The clip member has a base bracket member coupling, and a projecting arm. The base bracket member coupling is attached to the first end wall and overlies a portion of the body wall. The projecting arm is spaceable apart from the body wall. The outer bracket has a spanning wall with inner and outer sides. An outer end wall extends from the outer side. The spanning wall is slidably positionable between the body wall of the base bracket member and the at least one clip member, to sandwich the same. Wall assemblies and methods are likewise disclosed.

A connector assembly, having an upper connector, a pin coupling the upper connector to a lower connector and a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors. Also, disclosed is a hoistable connector assembly, a lifting frame assembly, a coupling system for modular frame units, a method for assembling a module unit using the connector assembly, and a modular frame unit and building having the connector assembly.

A ceiling beam connector that permits the incorporation of ornamental panel designs such as triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids into suspended ceilings. The connector has a faceplate attached to either two arms or a leg. The leg is attached to either the faceplate or an arm at an acute angle measured from an axis perpendicular to the faceplate. To maintain standard beam lengths and rout spacing at 2 foot, 3 foot, or 4 foot (61 cm, 91 cm, or 122 cm) beam spacing, the leg may project out at the following angles measured from the axis: about 14.0°, about 18.4°, about 26.6°, about 30.3°, about 45.0°, about 59.7°, about 63.4°, about 71.6°, or about 76.0°.
