A roller door system includes one or more sets of rollers configured to mount to a panel frame member on an upper end of a panel, and move through a complementary upper guide. A lower side of the panel frame can also be guided through one or more bottom tracks. These components, when coupled with the resin panel, can provide the ability to provide a smooth gliding motion for the resin panel door. In addition, the frame in which the panel is mounted can be configured with one or more components to accommodate the unique expansion and contraction properties of resin materials, and thus allow a stable, long term mounting solution. The upper guide and the lower track can also be configured with one or more components or mechanisms for pitch adjustment, as well as to adjust for uneven or irregular mounting surfaces.

In a method of supplying an element for covering a non-vision area in a curtain wall on an architectural structure, a plurality of shadow boxes is prefabricated at a location remote from both a unitized curtain wall assembly shop and the architectural structure. The shadow boxes are prefabricated by sealing an interior spacer between a vision glass panel and a back structure. The back structure includes an insulating material surrounded by a rigid envelope. The vision glass panel, the back structure and the interior spacer define a hermetically sealed void therein. A structural seal is applied about the interior spacer and is affixed to the peripheral edge of the vision glass, the interior spacer and the back structure. The plurality of shadow boxes is then delivered to a selected one of the unitized curtain wall assembly shop and the architectural site. 1. A shadow box for use with an architectural curtain wall system , comprising:(a) a vision glass panel having an outside surface, an opposite inside surface and a peripheral edge;(b) an opaque back structure, having a peripheral edge, the opaque back structure including an insulating material that is sealed inside of rigid metal envelope disposed around the insulating material so that the insulating material is sealed inside of a continuous air and vapor barrier, the metal envelope having a rigidity sufficient to prevent damage to the insulating material;(c) an interior spacer, defining a plurality of chambers therein in which a desiccant is placed, disposed along the peripheral edge of the inside surface of the vision glass panel and along the peripheral edge of the opaque back structure so as to hold the vision glass panel in a spaced apart relationship from the opaque back structure;(d) a first polyisobutylene seal that seals the interior spacer to the vision glass panel and a second polyisobutylene seal that seals the interior spacer to the opaque back structure so that the vision glass panel, the opaque back ...

A curtain wall mullion or transom including a unitary component made of a thermally insulating material bonded to a metal structural segment or fastened, from the inside-out, to an outer side of the metal segment such that a stem of the component extends into a pocket defined by panels of a curtain wall system. The component may be a reinforced fiberglass polymer component and bonded to the metal segment with an adhesive and may isolate the metal structure from the atmosphere outside the curtain wall and may include a seal receiver which abuts a panel of the curtain wall. The metal segment may be made of steel or aluminum or other metal. A pultrusion method is used to make the fiberglass component to have a profile configured to cover an entirety of an outside of the mullion or transom and to have a pair of receivers for receiving seals to abut against panels of the curtain wall.

DISASTER-RESISTANT STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR SECURING DISASTER-RESISTANT STRUCTURES TO A BODY OF CAST MATERIAL

Номер: US20180051456A1
Автор: Hudlow Jessie Edward
Принадлежит:

The present invention is a novel, disaster-resistant structure (such as a building, room, closet, enclosure, or wall) and a method for constructing or assembling the structure securely to a body of cast material such as a foundation, grade beam base, platform, slab or floor that incorporates flexible cables to resist the very high loads or impact of debris and other hazards that may occur due to high winds, tornadoes, earthquakes, or other severe storms. The structure is secured to the body of cast material by at least one flexible cable. The flexible cable can be comprised of any member from a group of cables, wires, ropes, strings, or threads. The flexible cable can also be made from a wide range of materials including steel, other metals, nylon, manila, polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, Kevlar, Nomex or polyimides. Typical construction methods for a body of cast material include building a form work or frame that defines the shape and dimensions of the body of cast material. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one hollow tube is placed into the area defined by the form work or frame for the body of cast material. The tube is placed in a generally horizontal position, but the ends may be curved or turned upward. When the cast material is placed into the form work or frame and hardens, the tube is at least partially embedded. In the best mode, the tube is bent or curved so that the ends are not within the formwork or frame and are protruding from the body of cast material after it hardens. However the hollow tube could be straight, curved, or angled. The tube may also be woven between the conventional steel reinforcing of the body of cast material. In the preferred embodiment, the flexible cable is passed through the hollow tube so that it can be looped over the ceiling or portion of the ceiling after the structure is framed. Conventional construction methods for framing include the use of wood, metal or masonry. In the preferred ...

COMPOSITE SUBGRADE FORMWORK AND METHOD OF USE

Номер: US20220145620A1
Автор: Armstrong Scott
Принадлежит: Forma Technologies Inc.

The disclosure presents a formwork system which utilizes Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) panels to create modular segments to form and reinforce concrete subgrade structures. The segments may be rearranged and bonded together to conform to intended dimensions of many subgrade structures. The segments are manufactured by cast molding, bonding or vacuum forming. The segments may include integrated FRP stanchions to prevent deflection of the panels during concrete placement. The stanchions also may be used for positioning structural steel or FRP rebar. FRP bars are permanently bonded to the interior sides of the panels inside the segments. In use, the assembled segments are filled with concrete. After the concrete is cured, the segments remain in place and function as external protection and reinforcement for the cured concrete. 1. A formwork system comprising:a first segment; a first upper cavity, bounded by a first side panel, a second side panel and a first base panel;', 'a first lower cavity, adjacent the upper cavity, bounded by the first side panel, the second side panel and the first base panel;', 'a first connection flange connected to the first side panel;', 'a second connection flange connected to the second side panel;', 'a third connection flange connected to the first base panel;', 'the first side panel being generally parallel to the second side panel;', 'the first side panel and the second side panel being rigidly connected to and generally perpendicular with the first base panel;, 'the first segment further comprisingthe first base panel further comprising a first receiving notch adjacent the first side panel and a second receiving notch adjacent the second side panel; and,a plurality of stanchions, connected to the first side panel and the second side panel, generally parallel to the base panel, and generally perpendicular to the first side panel and the second side panel.2.

Horizontal support members fastened to the mullions support infill panels and are coupled to horizontal cap members which are fastened to the top terminal ends of the mullion riser portions. Intermediate support members fastened to the mullions support slab edge cover panels which can be opaque. Posts are fastened to the shelf members and are secured to the floor slabs within embedded channels. The posts are horizontally and vertically adjustably fastenable to the shelf members. The shelf members are thereby horizontally and vertically adjustable relative to the floor slabs. The weight of the panels, mullions and shelf members is transferred through the posts to the floor slab.
