  • Publication number: 20240238884
    Abstract: A digitally automated system that eliminates the carpentry centric approach by integrating software and specialized machines to process light gauge steel framing members of different profiles so they can be assembled into wall sections without a carpenter referring to building plans, layout or manually marking and cutting. The machinery provides a receiving station where either tracks or studs are placed, measured and imprinted with unique indicia indicating the placement in a wall section and in the building. The tracks and studs are processed by other machinery that cut, punch, emboss and otherwise process the framing members. The processed framing members are bundled and assembled into wall sections for placement in the building. The software directs the imprinting of the unique indicia and selects the framing members that meet all necessary criteria.

  • Patent number: 11585080
    Abstract: A balcony includes a balcony assembly and a structural post and outrigger system. The structural posts provide structural support for buildings and include the outriggers that extend substantially perpendicularly from the structural posts to a location where the balcony assembly will be installed. The outriggers include a tube or beam and an end plate on an end of the beam distal from the structural post. The balcony assembly includes at least one long beam, a platform, and a locking mechanism on an end of the long beam. The locking mechanism includes a channel for receiving and securing the end plate of the outrigger. The balcony assembly is secured to the outrigger using fasteners.

  • Patent number: 10533314
    Abstract: An infill wall support clip is described. The infill wall support clip provides lateral bracing for wall panels in residential or commercial buildings. The infill wall support clip anchors to a top track of wall panels and to a bottom track of a floor truss. The infill wall support clip provides spacing between the wall panel and the floor truss such that drywall may be continuously overlaid on top of the wall panel.
