Abstract: A thermoplastic wall forming member is provided with rails for securing a wiring channel interiorly of a hollow structure to be formed by the wall forming member and other wall forming members.
Abstract: Extruded hollow thermoplastic structural components of rectilinear cross section formed for interlocking assembly with mating components for use in erecting a modular building characterized in that said components are extruded from PVC material which includes a smoke retarding agent which is covered by a skin (3) on surfaces exposed to the environment.
Abstract: Thermoplastic structural components utilized within building construction as permanent formwork. The components formed with openings along a length which serve to allow concrete to flow from one form to adjacent forms. Thus, filling the components forming a surrounding wall of a building. The openings allow for air circulation within components forming a roof assembly. The components are co-extruded with a protective skin along outer surfaces thereof. Grooves are provided along the length of the component for mating with interlocking flanges of a box connector. Planar spaced walls are provided within each component and have a series of openings along a length thereof.
Abstract: The invention is for a thermoplastic structural system, structural components therefor, and method of producing same in which the structural components are extruded from a thermoplastic material containing a reinforcing constituent flowable through an extrusion die, the structural components being configured for interlocking interconnection.
Abstract: A molded cladded panel comprises on the underside thereof a bearing surface formation for bearing on an underlying support surface and latches for latching the panel to an underlying support surface, the panel having a profile configured to provide a desired appearance rising above the bearing surface formation, a nib formed on the profile for interfitting with adjoining panels whether in end-to-end or side-by-side relation, and a latched keeper member for latching engagement with the panel latches.
