Wall systems and buildings having such wall systems are disclosed. Such wall systems include parametric mullions each of which is constructed from a plurality of interconnecting components so that the wall systems may be disposed much closer to the building frame than conventional wall systems. Such wall systems may include panels disposed to form convex or concave facades. Such wall systems may also include decorative features superimposed over one or more panels or extending outward from the facade surface. The parametric mullions may be formed into trusses which may be used as part of a wall system or independently of such wall systems.

Panel Assembly with Mullion Joint
20230295978 · 2023-09-21 ·

Disclosed herein is a panel assembly configured to form a mullion joint. The panel assembly can comprise a panel composed of a material substrate that, in some examples, can be transparent to radio frequency signals. The panel assembly can further comprise a first bezel configured to frame a perimeter of the panel on a first side of the panel. The panel assembly can comprise a second bezel configured to frame the perimeter of the panel on a second side of the panel opposite of the first side, the second bezel comprising cogs formed on a first edge of the second bezel. The cogs of the second bezel can be configured to receive and join with cogs of a bezel of a second panel assembly to form a mullion joint. The mullion joint can be transparent, opaque, or partially transparent to radio frequency signals and/or visible light.

Modular System for Glazing and Other Infill Panels
20210310298 · 2021-10-07 ·

A modular infill panel system for attaching to vertical structural members of a building frame and adjacent modular infill panel units. The modular infill panel system is capable of creating piecewise curves in the vertical plane as well as complex piecewise three-dimensional curves in a combination of horizontal and vertical planes. The modular infill panel system can include vertically stacked modular infill panel units. The modular infill panel units can be vertically aligned and attached to the building's structural columns by bracket assemblies mounted along one or more outside edges of the top frame member of the structural frame of the modular infill panel units. The bracket assemblies can secure the modular infill panel unit to the vertical structure of the building and alignment pins projecting upward from the bracket assemblies can align vertically adjacent modular infill panel units.

Adjustable support device for bay windows and other protruding building structures
11125383 · 2021-09-21 ·

An adjustable window support device is disclosed. In embodiments, the adjustable window support device includes: a horizontal segment configured to be placed into contact with a lower surface of a bay window; a vertical segment configured to be placed against a wall and configured to extend downwardly from the lower surface of the bay window along the wall; and an adjustable segment configured to extend diagonally from a bottom end of the vertical segment to the pin at or near a front end of the horizontal segment. The adjustable segment includes a first end that is pivotally coupled to the bottom end of the vertical segment and a second end that is configured to be held in a selected position by a pin that extends laterally through at least two holes at or near the front end of the horizontal segment.

Cassette frame components and methods of installation
11015344 · 2021-05-25 · ·

The present disclosure describes cassette frame assemblies and methods of installing them onto curtainwall structures. Assemblies can include a mullion and a first cassette frame coupled to a front end of the mullion via an anchoring tab. The anchoring tab can be configured to move within the first cassette frame prior to installation.
