摘要:
An apparatus and method for enhancing joint integrity of a seam formed by union of adjacently disposed panels wherein one panel is provided with a female member and the other panel is provided with a male member, the female member being adopted to receive the male member such that a recessed portion is formed within the male member. The apparatus includes a first hand implement positionable within the recessed portion of the male member for selectively exerting a force on the male member for moving same into a seating, substantially watertight sealing relationship with the female member. The apparatus also includes a second hand implement positionable over the female member for exerting a force on the female member in a direction substantially opposite the force exerted on the male member by the first hand implement.

In a system providing effective insulation for a built-up roof, and a method for installing the same, a layer of insulation is supported on the secondary structural members of a building structure beneath the deck on which the built-up roof is constructed. The thermal characteristics of the insulation layer are retained by supporting the deck from the secondary structural members with support spacer assemblies comprising spacer members having a plurality of fastener assemblies connected thereto. The fastener assemblies may be extended through the insulation and attached to the secondary structural members so that the insulation is retained substantially in its pre-penetration state after attachment of the fastener assemblies.

A building structure including a primary structure, secondary structural members supported on the primary structure, diagonal bracing means connected to and extending obliquely from the primary structure and the secondary structural members to increase the load carrying capacity of the secondary structural members. Bracing means also extend between secondary structural members.

There is disclosed a method for reroofing a substantially flat existing roof of a structure so as to provide a new roof structure having a predetermined slope independent of the slope of the existing roof structure. The structure has a plurality of walls, each wall having an upper end portions. The method comprises the steps of securing an eave connector assembly to the upper end portion of one of the walls, securing a lower cord of an adjustable ridge truss to the substantially flat existing roof, adjusting the web assembly of the adjustable ridge truss so that the upper cord is disposed a predetermined distance above the lower cord, positioning at least one panel member across the upper cord, and connecting the panel member to the upper cord.
摘要:
An improved insulated roof system for enclosing and insulating a building structure in which a flexible membrane is attached to extend tautly between a first support portion and a second support portion of the building structural assembly. A tertiary structural assembly is connected to the building structural assembly, a portion of the tertiary structural assembly extending from the structural assembly and supporting panel members which are attached thereto. Insulation material is supported by the flexible membrane between the panel member and the underlying building structural assembly.
摘要:
A frameless enclosure assembly, supported by the structural assembly of a pre-engineered building having first and second support members, comprising a flexible membrane; a membrane attaching assembly attaching a first end of the facing membrane to the first support member, and attaching a second end of the facing membrane to the second support member and extending the facing membrane substantially taut therebetween; an insulation layer of compressible insulation material supported by the facing membrane; a panel member positioned substantially parallel to the insulation layer to dispose same between the panel member and underlaying structural assembly; and a panel securing assembly for securing the panel to the structural assembly and transferring load from the panel member to the structural assembly while the insulation layer substantially uniformly retains its resistance to heat transfer. The insulation material may be scored so as to provide for an abrupt transition between expanded insulation and tab portions at which the membrane attaching assembly is secured.

摘要:
An insulation and paneling apparatus comprising a first panel member supported by the inner frame of a pre-engineered building, a layer of compressible insulation adjacent to the first panel member, a spacer member supported over the insulation layer by a plurality of fastener members penetrating the insulation and disposing the spacer member a predetermined distance from the first panel member, and a second panel member supported by the spacer member, the fastener members designed such that the insulation substantially retains its prepenetration characteristics and designed to attach to either the first panel member or the inner building frame.
摘要:
A support spacer apparatus relating to a paneling system for providing improved insulating qualities to pre-engineered buildings and the like in which stresses imparted to a supported structure are transferred through compressible insulation without diminishing the thermal character of the insulation, the support spacer apparatus comprising a spacer member having a plurality of fastener assemblies connected thereto and extendable through the insulation; the fastener assemblies attachable to an underlaying substrate by the application of energy to the fastener assemblies for supporting the spacer member at a predetermined distance from the substrate such that the insulation is disposed substantially in its prepenetration state after attachment of the fastener assemblies to the substrate.
