Standoff for mounting panel and method for mounting panels
A standoff for mounting panels such as glass panels in architectural applications include a plurality of parts that are first mounted to the panel and are then used to identify the locations for the anchor fasteners in the support structure or to locate the anchor fasteners as they are driven into the support structure. One configuration includes a bushing that defines a through opening. The bushing is placed through an opening the panel to be mounted. A barrel defining its own opening is then placed on the portion of the bushing that extends from the panel. The through hole of the bushing is aligned with the opening of the bushing such that an anchor fastener can pass through the bushing and the barrel into a support structure to which the panel is to be mounted.
Wall Panel for Forming a Wall Covering With Multiple Panels
Provided is a wall panel for forming a wall covering with multiple panels, including a centrally located core. The core includes a rear side, a decorative side opposite the rear side, and at least two sides including coupling parts for mutual coupling of several panels. The coupling parts are arranged to be coupled with an angling motion. A new panel is arranged to be angled into a panel already forming part of the wall covering. The coupling parts include at least one first coupling part and at least one second coupling part arranged on opposite sides of the core. The first coupling part includes a sideward tongue, an upper bridge portion for connecting the sideward tongue to the core and a downward groove, for accommodating at least a parts of an upward locking element. The second coupling part includes a groove.
BUILDING SURFACE PANEL WITH REINFORCED NAIL SLOT, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
The present disclosure relates generally to cladding, for example, suitable for covering a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface panel including a longitudinal panel body and a fastening element. The longitudinal body extends along a length from a first end to a second end and having a first edge and a second edge. The fastening element includes a longitudinal strip extending along the first edge of the panel body, a first aperture passing through the longitudinal strip, and a first reinforcing projection extending outward from a perimeter edge of the first aperture.
Eccentric Bushing for Redundant Pinning of Removable Panels
An eccentric bushing assembly comprises an outer eccentric bushing configured to be disposed in an opening of a panel comprising a central axis. The outer eccentric bushing is operable to float axially, rotate circumferentially, and to move radially with respect to the central axis. The eccentric bushing assembly further comprises an inner eccentric bushing disposed radially inward from the outer eccentric bushing and interfacing with the outer eccentric bushing, the inner eccentric bushing is operable to rotate relative to the outer eccentric bushing. The eccentric bushing assembly further comprises a spherical bushing comprising a through hole operable to receive a connecting pin therein and to rotate in at least one degree of freedom. The rotation of the spherical bushing can facilitate alignment of an axis of the pin with the through hole.
METAL MATERIAL TO WHICH FLAMMABLE THIN-FILM CONSTRUCTION INTERIOR MATERIAL IS ADHERED, AND ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE FOR ATTACHING SAME
The present invention has the following features. The present invention relates to a flammable flame-proof material provided with a metal material, comprising a metal material and a non-flame-proof-treated thin film sheet on the top of the metal material, wherein an adhesive agent is between the metal material and the non-flame-proof-treated thin film sheet, and relates to an attachment structure for attaching a metal plate with a flammable thin-film construction interior material.
Wall system fastener assembly for building veneers and claddings
A wall fastener assembly for retaining an exterior wall covering alongside a wall includes a screw, an elongated shank and a washer. The shank is configured to provide a space for a layer of insulation between the exterior wall covering and the wall. The shank comprises a center bore extending along the length of the shank for receiving the screw configured to secure the wall fastener assembly to the wall. The shank also includes a pair of flanges positioned opposite the wall. The pair of flanges form a groove between them. The groove configured to receive a masonry tie, wire tie or a girt track. The washer includes a central portion comprising a center hole for receiving the shank. The wire tie includes a narrow portion configured to be retained by the groove. A seal may be provided on the shank to seal the wall fastener assembly with the insulation.
UNIT BRACKET, BRACKET AND BRACKET CONSTRUCTION METHOD FOR ATTACHING TO BASE MATERIAL AND WALL USING THE SAME
The present disclosure has the following configurations. The present disclosure relates to a unit bracket in a square shape, in which outer surfaces of four surfaces of the unit bracket are formed with locking projections configured to insert a metal or plastic panel, and a center portion of the unit bracket is formed with a mesh part to be formed such that the bonding is possible at a vertical tensile strength and a horizontal tensile strength having desired forces even if the unit bracket and a wall or a base material are bonded with an adhesive, in order to bond the unit bracket to the wall or the base material.
CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
A building construction system comprising: a primary support member having a first end and a second end, an inner facing part and an opposite outer facing part, a secondary support member having a first end and a second end, inner facing part and an opposite outer facing part, a first beam having a first connecting part, a second connecting part, an inner facing part and an outer facing part, where the outer facing part of the first connecting part is configured to be attached to the inner facing part of the primary support member and an outer facing part of the second connecting part is configured to be attached to the inner facing part of the secondary support member, and where outer facing part of the first beam comprises a spacer element that is configured to extend from the primary support member to the secondary support member where an outer facing part of the spacer element is configured to be coextensive to the outer facing part of the primary support member and/or the outer facing part of the secondary support member.
Wall Anchor System and Washer for Connecting to a Veneer Tie
A washer for use in a cavity wall to connect to a veneer tie that joins an inner wythe and an outer wythe of the cavity wall. The washer has a washer body having a perimeter, a washer body first side, a washer body second side and a washer body side wall. A hole is substantially centrally located and through the washer body. At least one holder formed within the perimeter and protruding from at least one of the washer body first side and washer body second side, wherein the at least one holder is configured for receiving a portion of a veneer tie.
WALL CLADDING PLANKS, CLIPS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF INSTALLATION AND USE
A panel system provides a prefabricated exterior building façade. Various wall claddings and clips for hanging wall claddings are discussed. A wall cladding system includes: a building wall; a plurality of wall cladding planks; a plurality of fasteners extending through respective apertures in the plurality of wall cladding planks to secure the plurality of wall cladding planks to the building wall, in which each fastener has a head and a shaft, and the shaft mounts a spacer behind a rear face of the respective wall cladding plank to define a drainage gap between the wall cladding planks and the building wall. A wall cladding plank clip includes a fastener with a head and a shaft; a drainage gap spacer mounted on the shaft; and a front washer plate mounted on the shaft between the head and the drainage gap spacer. A pre-fabricated wall cladding plank has: a core of insulating material; a fire-resistant component; an integral drainage system defined on a rear face of the pre-fabricated wall cladding plank; corresponding tongue and groove profiles on opposing edges of the pre-fabricated wall cladding plank to mate with adjacent pre-fabricated wall cladding planks of identical dimensions; and an external decorative finishing layer.
