摘要:
A framing system suitable for the assembly of thin panels such as glass or acrylic, which might be used in the construction of greenhouses, sun rooms, pool enclosures, wind screens or other non-insulating applications. The framing system consists of a unique three piece design which makes it particularly suitable for application to plastic materials such as ABS or PVC. The three piece design consists of an main supporting beam with a toothed slot to accept a correspondingly toothed extension of a T-shaped cover strip. The cover strip acts only to retain the supported panel against the beam. The beam supports the entire weight of the panelling. The beam is grooved along its edge in order to mate with a correspondingly shaped connector block. The connector block serves to connect adjacent beams.

Adhesive foam seals are provided on all flashing components of a sunroom at joints between glazing panels and other structural members. Should water or wind penetrate these seals, primary and secondary drain systems are provided as a backup to collect and control and vent moisture outside the sunroom. A support frame for the glazing panels includes sloped vertical wooden beams strengthened by top and bottom steel plates. The beams are covered with a plastic moisture-proof coating. An adjustable corner flashing is used which compensates for any minor misalignment of front and end walls.

Components for a multiple window unit sunroof are pre-assembled at the factory and include a support frame having vertical beam members which have water weep channels on their top faces for routing away from the sunroof moisture entering under the glazing panel adjacent side edges which overlap the drain channel. The support frame is snugly received in a boot. Removable locator jigs are attached to the perimeter frame of the glazing panels to position them and hold them while mounting flanges are being installed.
摘要:
A building system and a structural improvement to the construction of glazed structures such as sun rooms, solariums and greenhouses which use laminated structural beams made of thin unfinished lamina layers of wood and surfaced on three sides with decorative finished lamina for appearance. The laminate material is made with the grain of the wood in the lamina all running parallel with the length of the beams, thereby increasing the strength of the beams and allowing the use of beams smaller in width and depth. The gazed structure includes methods of connection between the beams and the glazing and methods of incorporation of design features such as a knee wall.
