  • Patent number: 10174507
    Abstract: A system for adjusting tension on fabric panels between two structural members of a fabric panel structure is disclosed. The system includes a rib that extends outwards from the structural members, a first keder rail located adjacent to the rib, a second keder rail located opposite to the rib of the first keder rail, and a fastener that passes through apertures in the first keder rail, the rib, and second keder rail to secure the keder rails against the rib. Preferably, the fastener is adjustable to allow the keder rails to be opened and closed to assist with installing or replacing fabric panels. Alternate embodiments can secure one of the keder rails directly to the structural member without the use of the rib.

  • Patent number: 8959747
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, a structural coupler is disclosed for coupling together structural members, such as trusses. The structural coupler is dimensioned such that it can be installed at an end and within an inner channel of the structural member. The structural member includes a gusset member, a face member and a reinforcing member. The face member is connected to the gusset member and the reinforcing member is connected to both the gusset member and the face member. To couple structural members together, the face member of the structural member installed at an end of a first structural member is mated with the face member of the structural member installed at an end of a second structural member. The structural couplers are then joined together using a coupling mechanism.
