Abstract: The rainwater drainpipe attached to the site where a building and the building stand is pulled, and this invention is related to using it as a wiring passage of the communication cable.

Abstract: A modular medical gas services unit with multiple medical gas outlets supported at the same level on the column. The unit preferably comprises a hollow column with an internal space for housing the gas conduits and power lines. The medical gas supply outlets are mounted so that their longitudinal axes extend radially from the vertical axis of the frame, and the longitudinal axes of adjacent outlets intersect to form an acute angle. In this way, the horizontal dimensions of the column can be minimized while the number of medical gas outlets at the desired height is maximized. In one embodiment, the column is pentagonal in cross-section providing five planar support surfaces for five medical gas outlets. In another embodiment, a square column is equipped with angled outlet panels, each supporting two medical gas outlets. Thus, though the frame is four-sided, as many as eight medical gas outlets can be mounted at the same height on the frame.

Abstract: A hollow building element (10) of plastics material comprises one or more longitudinal ducts (30) and has, at opposite sides thereof, coupling members (32,34), whereby elements are connected together directly or indirectly, wherein an upper coupling member at one side of an element is a hook like member and an upper coupling member at the opposite side of the element includes a latch for the hook-like member of another like element. Building structures are created by connecting together such building elements.

Abstract: Incombustible fireproof network elevated floorboard in which the cover boards are locked on the leg supports of the floorboard by screws. The floorboard is made of steel reinforcement and cement and is able to achieves enhanced fireproof effect to meet the strict requirement for incombustibility of skyscraper building. The floorboard of the present invention can be easily and quickly manufactured and assembled.

Abstract: A seal structure for sealing between a through hole and a conduit located in the through hole. The seal structure includes a conduit located in the through hole and a foaming material. A wire is inserted in the conduit. The foaming material is located between the outer surface of the conduit and the inner surface of the through hole. The foaming material expands when heated and seals the space between the outer surface of the conduit and the inner surface of the through hole. Both ends of the conduit are sealed with a fireproof material between the inner surface of the conduit and the outer surface of the wire.

Abstract: A baseboard infrastructure system is described having baseboard members and premise hubs. The baseboard member is formed to conceal and protect cables or wires installed within a channel region formed between the baseboard and a wall the baseboard is mounted against. The baseboard member has an integrated connector assembly ICA for connection of external wires and cables with the wires and cables contained within the channel region of the baseboard member. An ICA having an ICA plate with jacks or connectors mounted thereon is formed to allow vertical connection of wires or cables. An ICA cap formed to match the shape of the top of the baseboard mounts in the ICA when the ICA is not used for connection of cables or wires. Multiple baseboard members are mounted within a room or rooms to a building, thereby concealing the wiring of the room and providing ICAs for connection of wires and cables.

Abstract: An asymmetric structural insulated panel for building construction includes a generally planar insulating foam core such as of expanded polystyrene, urethane or polyisocyanurate plastic. Adhered to a first surface of the insulating foam core is an outer facing of a conventional building material such as wood, oriented strand board (OSB), gypsum composite or cement. Adhered to a second opposed surface of the insulating foam core by a conventional adhesive is a thin, high strength sheet of paper impregnated with plastic such as polyisocyanurate. The plastic impregnated paper provides a high tensile strength for the structural insulated panel to accommodate large transverse loads on the panel. Elongated “nailing” members may be affixed in a spaced manner to the inner or outer surface of the plastic impregnated paper to also provide this surface of the panel with high compressive strength and to permit the panel to withstand large axial loads.

Abstract: A flooring which can be locally removed and relaid rapidly any number of times, comprising a plurality of tiles (2), a plurality of plate-shaped supports (5) arranged quincuncially below the tiles (2), and means of fixing the tiles to the plate-shaped supports (5).

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: An installation duct for accommodating at least gas outlet couplings shall be improved such that the gas supply lines leading to the gas outlet couplings can be laid and connected in a simple manner. This is accomplished with the features of a connection plate (3), on which the gas outlet couplings (4, 5) are fastened, with a middle part (6) that can be placed on the connection plate (3), and with a cover plate (7), which is fastened to end parts (21, 22) of the side walls (13, 14) of the installation duct (1) pointing away from the connection plate (3).

Abstract: A weakened building member, having a building component running through an opening in it, is strengthened by reinforcing members attached to the building member that accommodate the presence of the building component. The reinforcing members are attached to the building member by fasteners or adhesives. The reinforcing members attach to at least one side of the building member. They extend from areas above the opening in the building member to areas below it, and pass around opposite sides of the building component. The reinforcing members can be positioned relative to each other prior to installation in such a manner as to allow the reinforcing members to slide around a building component that has already been run through the building member near their point of attachment to the building member.

Abstract: A workstation including at least two walls, each of the walls having opposed ends, an upper panel, and a lower panel beneath the upper panel, the lower panel including a center plate with horizontal, parallel upper and lower side opening raceways on opposite sides of the plate; and a support post having opposed connection faces, one of the faces being connected to an end of one of the walls and the other face being connected to an end of the other of the walls, the post including conduits extending between the connecting faces, whereby utilities can be connected from raceways on one of the walls to raceways on the other of the walls through the post. Releasable edge and end caps are frictionally attached to the exposed wall edges.
