Soloflex, Inc. - Hillsboro OR

International Classification:

E04C 234

US Classification:

524811, 524831

Abstract:

A method for constructing prefabricated modular building panels includes providing a plurality of full wall height panels in several widths and full wall height corner elements which can be assembled to provide walls for a building of almost any size. The method also includes providing less than full height header and sill panels in several widths which can be used to install windows and doors. A window is installed between a header and sill panel having a width which is greater than the width of the window by placing studs between the header and sill panels at each side of the window and at each side of the header and sill panels. A door is installed under a header panel having a width which is greater than the width of the door by building a frame on each side of the door below the header panel. The panels are made with a frame of interconnected steel studs and steel top and bottom tracks. Pieces of structural building material are rigidly attached to the tracks and project from the front edges of the track by a predetermined distance.

International Classification:

E04C003/30

US Classification:

052720100

Abstract:

A structural beam has a thin metal web with a plurality of holes located along its top and bottom edges. One or more rectangular flange pieces are located on each side of the web overlying its top margin and one or more rectangular flange pieces are located on each side of the web overlying its bottom margin. The flange pieces contain holes which are aligned with the holes in the web piece and fasteners extend through the aligned holes to fasten the flange pieces to the web.
