Abstract
A wall connection system is disclosed, which includes a horizontal building frame component with a first vertical face that has a first slot. The system further includes a prefabricated wall structure with a plurality of parallel studs and an elongate member connect to each stud. The elongate member has a second vertical face with a second slot and is parallel to the first vertical face. The long axis of the first slot is perpendicular to the long axis of the second slot. A fastener assembly connects the horizontal building frame component to the wall structure, through the slots.
Claims19
A wall connection system, comprising:
- a horizontal building frame component having a first vertical face, the first vertical face having a first slot,
- a modular wall panel assembly including:
- a plurality of at least three parallel studs defining a primary wall plane, and
- a strongback structure including an angle iron connected orthogonally to each of the plurality of studs, the angle iron including an expanse oriented parallel to the wall plane, the expanse having a second slot that is parallel the primary wall plane, and
- a fastener assembly connecting the horizontal building frame component to the wall panel assembly through the first slot and the second slot, without directly connecting the studs to the building frame component,
- wherein the expanse is parallel to the first vertical face, and a long axis of the first slot is orthogonal to a long axis of the second slot.
A wall connection system, comprising:
- a horizontal building frame component having a vertical face, the vertical face having a slot,
- a modular wall panel assembly including:
- a plurality of at least three parallel studs defining a primary wall plane, and
- a strongback structure including an aperture and connected orthogonally to each of the plurality of studs, and
- a fastener assembly connecting the horizontal building frame component to the wall panel assembly through the slot and the aperture, without directly connecting the studs to the building frame component,
- wherein the primary wall plane is parallel to the vertical face.
A wall connection system, comprising:
- a horizontal building frame component having a vertical face, the vertical face having a horizontal slot,
- a modular wall panel assembly including:
- a plurality of at least three parallel studs defining a primary wall plane, and
- a strongback structure including a rectangular tube parallel to the primary wall plane and orthogonal to the studs, the rectangular tube being directly connected to each of the studs and having an aperture, and
- a fastener assembly connecting the horizontal building frame component to the wall panel assembly through the slot and the aperture, without directly connecting the studs to the building frame component.
