Abstract: A structural member can be used alone or paired with a like member for use as an upright or cross member of a support structure. This structural member has particular application in greenhouse structures where a support structure is formed for retaining transparent panels. The structural members are preferably made of rolled steel and are of a generally `T` configuration with a pair of retaining flanges. The structure simplifies manufacturing by accommodating punching of various fastening ports or forming of securing flanges prior to the rolling operation. Any shaping of the members is easier as the shaping may be carried out on individual members prior to pairing of the members to form an upright or cross member.
Abstract: It is known to have solid fuel stoves made of cast iron and/or heavy steel. The stove of the present invention has a top section, a bottom section and a cylindrical body section therebetween. These sections define a primary combustion chamber. The top and bottom sections are frusto-conical in cross-section and are, for transport or storage purposes, adapted to nest within the body section. The top, bottom and body sections are preferably made of steel.
