20230008578 · 2023-01-12 · ·

The invention relates to a drywall comprising a first wall section (2) with first stud elements (4), wherein the first stud elements are arranged with a first regular centre distance, wherein in the first wall section a first panelling (5) is arranged at least on one room side (R) of the first stud elements (4). The drywall is characterized by a second wall section (3) with second stud elements (6), wherein a second panelling (7) is arranged in the second wall section at least on the room side (R) of the second stud elements (6) and wherein the second stud elements are arranged with a second regular centre distance (C) which is smaller than the first regular centre distance (A). The invention also relates to a kit and a method for constructing a drywall.

Modifiable and reusable modular soundproofing structures
11708693 · 2023-07-25 ·

A soundproofing structure comprises a jacket having an external surface and an opposite internal surface defining an inner compartment. A resilient and deformable soundproofing material is contained within the Inner compartment and engages the internal surface. Constricting elements are mounted to the jacket for constriction of the jacket to provide inner surface pressure against the soundproofing material for compression thereof. The constricting elements are releasable for selectively releasing inner surface pressure against the soundproofing material for expansion thereof against the inner surface. The soundproofing structure defines a size that is selectively modifiable by selective releasing of the contacting elements.

Robust multi-layer building construction tape and related framing members
11512464 · 2022-11-29 ·

Robust multi-purpose, multi-layer, building construction tapes and building construction framing members and related wall assemblies are disclosed that comprise a sheet metal framing member (all profiles) in combination with a new and more robust type of multi-layer building construction tape for fire safety and sound reduction. The multi-layer building construction tape comprises a flexible thermal barrier layer attached to (1) a flexible intumescent material layer having a lesser width (thereby enabling flex-lock rollover) and/or (2) a resilient unfoamed cross-linked polyethylene layer. In combination, the thermal barrier layer is on a surface of the sheet metal framing member, whereas the thermal barrier layer is attached to the intumescent layer or polyethylene layer (as the case may be) such that the thermal barrier layer is between the sheet metal framing member and the intumescent layer or the polyethylene layer. The multi-layer building construction tapes disclosed herein slow and impede the spread of fire and smoke (during a fire) and also reduces sound transmission between adjacent rooms in a building.

Quick assemble wall system, and related methods

A wall panel for a quick assemble wall system may include a first upright post and a second upright post. The wall panel may also include a lower stretcher for connecting the first upright post to the second upright post and an upper stretcher for connecting the first upright post to the second upright post. The wall panel may include at least one frame for placement within the first vertical post, the second vertical post, the lower stretcher, and the upper stretcher. The wall panel may include a first retractable latch located on the at least one frame, the first retractable latch adapted to engage at least one of the first upright post, second upright post, lower stretcher, or upper stretcher. A frame for a quick assemble wall system and a method of assembling a quick assemble wall system are also described.

WALL CONSTRUCTION AND FRAMEWORK COMBINATION

A wall system includes a framework having a first row of outer studs and a second row of inner studs spaced-apart and staggered from one another. A composite wall structure is supported by the framework and includes an exterior wall formation, an interior wall formation, and an intervening insulation system between the exterior and interior wall formations. The insulation system includes a pair of spaced-apart backing boards mounted to the framework. Foam insulation fills the cavity space between the pair of backing boards. The second row of inner studs are located in the cavity space and surrounded by the insulation.

SYSTEMS, METHODS AND MACHINE READABLE PROGRAMS FOR MEASURING, RECORDING, AND ACCESSING DATA FOR IMPROVED SELECTION OF CLOTHING
20220364356 · 2022-11-17 ·

The present disclosure provides a variety of approaches to facilitate the remote fitting of clothing items.

STORAGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A storage system is disclosed where goods can be stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of rails (e.g., tracks) on which load handling devices can run. To take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked. The framework may be provided with one or more of the following exemplary services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensors, and data logging devices. The provision of these services within the framework rather than across the system as a whole, can allow for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.

Partition wall structure and method for constructing same

A partition wall has a structure with a wall end portion butted against another building structure and exposed to architectural spaces. An end post at the end portion of the wall is constituted from first and second end post elements, which are spaced apart from each other, so that a gap or an isolation zone interrupting a propagation of a solid vibration or insulating a path for propagating the solid vibration is formed between the first and second elements. An interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on one side of the wall is fixed to the first element and the interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on an opposite side of the wall is fixed to the second element.

HEAT-INSULATING SOUND-ABSORBING MATERIAL, AND PARTITION WALL

Provided are a heat-insulating and sound-absorbing material improved in construction workability, and a partition wall in which degradation in sound insulation performance is suppressed. The heat-insulating and sound-absorbing material 1 is comprised of an agglomerate of inorganic fibers, wherein the agglomerate has a density of 10 to 20 kg/m.sup.3 and the inorganic fibers of the agglomerate have a length-weighted average fiber diameter of 2.0 to 8.7 μm, and wherein the agglomerate contains: 20 to 66% of inorganic fibers having a length-weighted average fiber diameter of less than 4.0 μm; and 13 to 58% of inorganic fibers having a length-weighted average fiber diameter of 7.0 μm or more. The partition wall comprises a hollow wall portion, and the above heat-insulating and sound-absorbing material installed in the hollow wall portion.
