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.
Claims23
A wall connection system, comprising:
- a horizontal building frame component having a first vertical face, the first vertical face having a first slot,
- a prefabricated wall structure including a plurality of at least three parallel studs,
- an angle iron connected to each stud of the plurality of parallel studs and having a second vertical face,
- the second vertical face being parallel to the first vertical face, and having a second slot, a long axis of the first slot being orthogonal to a long axis of the second slot, and
- a fastener assembly connecting the horizontal building frame component to the wall structure through the slots.
3-4. (canceled)
11-15. (canceled)
A modular wall panel assembly comprising:
- a plurality of at least three parallel studs defining a primary wall plane,
- 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 slot that is parallel the primary wall plane and configured to receive a fastener assembly for fastening the wall panel assembly to a building structure without directly connecting the studs to the building structure.
(canceled)
A wall connection system, comprising:
- a horizontal building frame component having a first vertical face, the first vertical face having a first slot,
- a prefabricated wall structure including a plurality of at least three parallel studs,
- a tube connected to each stud of the plurality of parallel studs, and an angle iron member connected to the tube, the angle iron member having a second vertical face,
- the second vertical face being parallel to the first vertical face, and having a second slot, a long axis of the first slot being orthogonal to a long axis of the second slot, and
- a fastener assembly connecting the horizontal building frame component to the wall structure through the slots.
