Abstract: To at least considerably diminish or even completely prevent rain water from being driven inward in a strong wind, the front face (9) of the front slab segment (61) has horizontal grooves (68, 69, 70).

Abstract: A mounting system comprises base structural supports and connecting structural supports which are fastened horizontally to vertical structural supports. The vertical structural supports are connected to a building wall. Each base structural support has a U-like cross section, in which the upwardly directed leg that is further away from the building wall is shorter than the leg fastened to the vertical structural supports. Each connecting structural support has a short, upwardly and downwardly directed leg that is further away from the building wall than a vertical leg that is connected to the vertical structural supports. A horizontal leg which has a flexible elastic insert at its open end, adjoins the lower end of the vertical leg.

Abstract: A ceiling system for attachment to an existing ceiling. The system comprises a plurality of laths, each lath mounted to an existing ceiling, wherein each lath is provided with at least a first slot and a second slot, the second slot parallel to the first slot; a cloth stretched between the laths, wherein the cloth is detachably fixed in the first slot by a strip clamped down therein, and a cover mould having a rib, the rib detachably clamped down in the second slot, the cover mould extending beyond the strip positioned in the first slot.

Abstract: A cladding system used to secure a cladding material panel to a building structure and including upper and lower bracket members to cooperatively and respectively engage upper and lower ends of adjacent cladding material panels. The upper bracket member includes a first fastener member to engage an interior surface of a first cladding material panel and a second fastener member a spaced apart distance therefrom and also engaging the first cladding material panel. A mount assembly secures the upper bracket member a spaced apart distance from the building structure and facilitates alignment of the cladding material panels. The lower bracket member includes a first lower fastener member to engage a second cladding material panel and a second lower fastener member a spaced apart distance therefrom which also engages the second cladding material.
