Abstract
An extrusion is provided that may be used in the construction of a framework assembly and that is lighter, stronger and less expensive than previously available extrusions. In various aspects, the extrusion generally has four sides and is quadrangular in cross-section. A web member may extend the inside of the cross-section of the extrusion between two of the sides. The web member thus may bisect the interior of extrusion forming a first interior cavity and a second interior cavity. The first and second cavities may be equally dimensioned in cross-section. The extrusion may be a metal extrusion formed from aluminum and/or steel.
Claims20
A structural component comprising:
- a base member having a first end and a second end;
- a first side member extending upwardly from said first end of said base member;
- a second side member extending upwardly from said second end of said base member;
- each side member having a first end and a second end, each first end extending from the base member;
- a top member extending from and connecting the second ends of each of the side members;
- and
- an inner web member connecting and contactably extending between said bottom member and said top member, said structural component defining a first interior cavity to one side of said inner web member and a second interior cavity to the opposite side of said inner web member, said structural component defining a substantially quadrangular cross-section having a width, said inner web member spanning the width of said structural component.
A structural component for use in the construction of framed, flexible cover structures comprising:
- a first side member having a first end and a second end;
- a second side member extending upwardly from said first end of said first side member and including a first indentation;
- a third side member extending upwardly from said second end of said first side member and including a second indentation;
- each of the second and third side members having a first end and a second end, each first end extending from the first side member;
- a fourth side member extending perpendicularly from and adjacent to the second end of said second side member and extending perpendicularly from and adjacent to an end of said third side member, said fourth side member connecting the second ends of the second and third side members;
- and
- an inner web member connecting and contactably extending between said second side member and said third side member, said structural component defining a first interior cavity below said inner web member and a second interior cavity above said inner web member, said structural component defining a substantially quadrangular cross-section having a width, said inner web member spanning the width of said structural component.
