  • Publication number: 20140165367
    Abstract: A screw attachment plug includes a proximal portion having a first diameter and a first height, a middle portion having a second, constant diameter, a second height and a means for preventing rotation of the plug relative to the substrate and the portion. The screw attachment also includes a distal portion including a distal end, proximal end, and an outer surface therebetween. The plug includes a bore through the proximal, middle and distal portions adapted to receive a screw and a plurality of slots in the distal section, each defined by an open space between the outer surface and the bore thereby separating the distal portion into a plurality of sections. The open spaces are adapted to expand when a screw is inserted into the bore to thereby expand at least the middle and distal portions within the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5557894
    Abstract: The invention relates to a framing member for attaching panelling and windows to building structures which includes an integral and detachable J-shaped member and nail fin which obviate the need for decorative molding to mask the junction between the framing member and the underlying building structure. The J-member and nail fin may be broken away from the framing member to allow framing members to be attached to one another via a mullion strip to define a mullion between windows or panelling.
