Abstract:
An adjustable building panel support device comprising a building panel support element, a support bracket and at least one connector suitable for attaching an insulated building panel to a substrate for constructing an insulated wall section. The building support element and the support bracket are fixable together at a user determinable position by the at least one connector whereby the distance between the building panel support element and the support bracket can be varied to accommodate surface variations that may be present on a substrate surface.
Abstract:
A mounting rail for attachment to a building has a base with a top edge and a bottom edge. A pivot member projects from the base and provides a pivot point structure. A gripping flange extends from the base toward the pivot point structure and provides a gripping surface between the bottom edge and the pivot point structure. A slot is thus formed in the mounting rail. The mounting rail also has an anchor portion between the gripping surface and the bottom edge. A mounting system for mounting panels on a building includes mounting rails and a plurality of panel brackets for engaging panels to be mounted on the building by engaging the mounting rail slot at one end and the anchor portion at the other end. A method for mounting panels on a building by the use of the system is disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a masonry support system and method, suitable for bearing the load of a course of brick-work or defined brickwork panels, comprising a horizontal support section (2) in the X-plane for supporting said load; a vertical support section (3) in the Y-plane for affixing to a support structure; characterised in that there is provided integrated Z-axis adjustment means (61) for adjusting said relieving angle system forward or backwards relative to the support structure. The advantage of the present invention is that the system provides integrated Z-axis adjustment. This feature provides a unique level of tolerance compensation for unforeseen site variances. The invention provides a uniquely adjustable and easy to install angle brick masonry support system.
Abstract:
A mounting bracket for securing to an upright wall has an anchor plate formed with an upper horizontally throughgoing mounting hole and having a back face engageable with the wall, and a support plate fixed to and extending horizontally from the anchor plate below the upper mounting hole. The back face is formed between the upper mounting hole and an upper edge of the anchor plate with a bevel having a bevel face extending upward away from the wall.
Abstract:
A stone cladding system for building has a support frame formed by a plurality of spaced-apart upright mullions fixed to an exterior of a building by anchor bracket's with a number of horizontal cladding panel support rails mounted in vertically spaced apart rows on the mullions. Each stone cladding panel is mounted between at adjacent pair of vertically spaced-apart rails with a bottom of the cladding panel seated on the lowermost rail and a top of the cladding panel secured to the uppermost rail by a pair of retaining clips. A bottom of each stone cladding panel is fully supported along its length by the lowermost rail.
Abstract:
A wall tie connector for masonry-veneer, panels, or curtain-wall claddings, has a ductile attachment plate for attachment to a support frame or to the masonry, the panel, or the curtain wall, and has a pair of protruding apertured flanges in which a ductile bar with at least one keying portion is keyed into an aperture to prevent rotation about its longitudinal axis. A retaining tie member is slideably mounted on the bar, and is connectable to masonry veneer, a panel or a curtain wall, or to a support member. The ductile attachment plate may have secondary flanges orthogonal to the main apertures flanges, and so arranged as to penetrate an insulation layer or to key into a masonry wall.
Abstract:
A mounting assembly for fixing a wall covering comprised of a plurality of panels on a wall comprises a support member which is fastened to the wall and a panel bearing element secured to each panel and an improved profiled structural element including a main web, a first groove disposed on one side of the main web for receiving the support member and a pair of second grooves disposed on the opposite side of the main web, each second groove receiving one panel bearing member. The upper of the second grooves may support the lower part of an upper panel and the lower of the second grooves the upper part of a lower panel. The upper of the second grooves may alternatively support a special panel bearing element for a panel angled with respect to panels generally parallel to the wall.
Abstract:
Floor-to-floor panel mounting systems may include one or more facade panel hanger assemblies which individually or collectively facilitate mounting and attaching wall panels (e.g., exterior facade panels) to an exterior or interior wall of a building. Each hanger assembly includes one or more vertically extending mounting beams which extend between opposing floor slabs of the building, and which are configured to be operatively coupled to one or more wall panels. Each hanger assembly includes a respective mounting assembly fixed to each of the opposing floor slabs of the building and configured to be operatively coupled the ends of one or more of the mounting beams. The hanger assemblies each include a height adjustment mechanism and a depth adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the positions of the facade panels relative to the wall of the building post-installation of the wall panels on the hanger assemblies.
Abstract:
A system for mounting wall panels to a wall frame or other surface, and methods for assembling and using such a system. The disclosed system may include a plurality of mounting brackets, an adjustable wall panel support mechanism coupled to the mounting brackets, and a wall panel attachment member such as a hook plate. The position and orientation of the wall panel attachment member relative to the mounting brackets may be precisely adjusted, allowing fine adjustments in the position and orientation of a wall panel after the wall panel has been installed.
Abstract:
A building construction system is provided having an elongated track (bypass clip track) that overlays a front edge of a concrete slab. The elongated track provides an even flat surface along an uneven concrete slab because the elongated track can be placed at adjustable distances from slab edges that may be uneven. The track is secured to a bracketing structure that has foam inserts that become embedded within the top and/or bottom surface of the concrete slab after the concrete hardens. By attaching the track to these foam inserts instead of the concrete directly, breakage or spalling of the slab edge is reduced. Studs are then attached to a stud attachment plate extending from the track, such that thereafter, a wall or façade may be attached to the track that overlays the uneven slab edge.
