摘要:
A method of categorizing fasteners and construction connectors by size and type using a color coding system. Each fastener receives a designated and distinct color contained on the surface that is exposed before and after installation. The colors are preselected to define one or more physical properties of the fasteners. A color key is provided to determine the physical properties of the fasteners based on the coloring of exposed portions of the inserted fasteners. Similarly, construction connectors receive a designated and distinct color contained on the surface that is exposed before and after installation. The color represented on the surface of the construction connector is such that the corresponding fastener is the same color.

A small, hand-held tool enables rapid and repetitive placement of window and door casing. The tool is formed from three distinctive, generally rectangular layers. The center, sandwiched layer extends beyond the outer two layers by an amount equal to the desired offset or reveal of the casing. An extension protrudes diagonally from one side of the center layer and forms a one hundred and thirty-five degree angle with an adjacent side. This extension enables the tool holder to accurately place the corners of each casing strip, after the strips have been cut at the normal diagonal forty-five degree angle. A hole through the center of each of the layers provides for easy and solid grasping and manipulation. Scribe marks may also be provided, to more readily assist the tool user to mark, measure or visually discriminate various distances and geometries. Additional alternative features are further described in the disclosure.

Apparatus for fabricating structural building units from a pair of panels and a plurality of stringer members including a framework for positioning the panels in a spaced-apart relationship and for supporting stringer members longitudinally and in spaced-apart position therebetween. The panels and stringers are advanced in incremental steps through special clamping and fastening means having a plurality of automatic fastening machines for driving fasteners through the panels into the stringer members in a first section. The panels and stringers are automatically indexed forwardly and a second section is fixed in a similar manner. The advancing and fastening steps are repeated automatically until the entire assembly is secured in like fashion to thereby provide a rigid unit. Insulating material may be positioned between the panels and stringers to provide an insulated panel for exterior wall construction.

A nail plater apparatus includes a board magazine configured to hold stacked boards, and a pair of spaced apart nail plate magazines, with each nail plate magazine configured to hold stacked nail plates. The nail plater apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart nail plate extractor assemblies, with each nail plate extractor assembly associated with a respective nail plate magazine and configured to position a nail plate therefrom to a respective nail plate pressing area. A board feeder is configured to position a board from the board magazine to a board receiving area, with ends of the board being aligned with the nail plates positioned in the respective nail plate pressing areas. A pair of spaced apart nail plate presser assemblies overlie ends of the board receiving area and is aligned with the respective nail plate pressing areas to press the nail plates into the ends of the board.

For holding solid wood trim in place, around door/window frames. The trim has grooves in its undersurface. Corresponding splines are attached to the face of the wall around the frame. The splines enter the grooves, and the frictional force exerted by the tight fit is enough to hold the trim. At least one of the grooves/splines may be angled, so the trim becomes wedged tightly against the face of the wall and frame.
