Device And Method For Interconnecting Framing Components

View page
US Patent:
7316098, Jan 8, 2008
Filed:
Sep 7, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/935501
Inventors:
Gerald L. Sackett - Charlottesville VA, US
International Classification:
E04B 7/04
E04B 1/38
E04C 5/00
US Classification:
52 922, 52 921, 52715, 52712
Abstract:
The present invention is a framing component interconnecting device that is particularly useful for interconnecting a spanning member and its supporting components. While the device may be used in a number of ways to facilitate frame construction, the preferred mode of use is to pre-attach it at the bearing points of a spanning member during pre-assembly of the spanning member. Because the device is not obtrusive while it is in what is referred to herein as a “non-deployed configuration,” the device thus attached to a spanning member does not hinder or complicate storing, transporting, and handling the spanning member. The device incorporates an anchor strap and connecting flaps that can be deployed in order to interconnect the spanning member to its supporting component once the spanning member has been raised into position. In its deployed configuration, the device anchors, orients, braces, and interconnects one framing component to another.

US Patent:
20080282641, Nov 20, 2008
Filed:
May 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/748747
Inventors:
Gerald Sackett - Charlottesville VA, US
International Classification:
E04B 1/38
US Classification:
52715
Abstract:
The present invention is a device and a method for connecting a first framing component to a second framing component. In the preferred embodiment the device forms a U-shaped channel which receives the edge of the first framing component when the device is pre-attached to the first framing component. The device includes one or more connector plates for connecting the device to the first framing component and one or more deployable connector flaps for connecting the device to the second framing component. Optionally, the device includes one or more anchor straps for increasing the strength of the connection between the first and the second framing components. Optionally, the device includes a tie-down means such as a press out loop in the connector plates, to facilitate making a tie-down connection between the first and the second framing components.

Device And Method For Spacing And Bracing Framing Components

View page
US Patent:
7213377, May 8, 2007
Filed:
Jun 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/881835
Inventors:
Gerald L. Sackett - Charlottesville VA, US
International Classification:
E04C 3/02
E04C 3/30
E04H 12/00
US Classification:
52696
Abstract:
The present invention is a device and method for simultaneously spacing and bracing adjacent framing components. The disclosed device is an elongate U-shaped spacing member having a pivot tongue extending from one end of the spacing member and a free tongue extending from the other end. The pivot tongue incorporates a pivot plate with a pivotable connection means, and a hinge. The free tongue incorporates an attachment means. Optionally, both or either tongue may incorporate a locking tab. The steps of the disclosed method of the invention include affixing the device to the edge of an incoming framing component; pivotally connecting the pivot tongue to the incoming framing component; positioning the components into their approximate positions relative to one another; lifting the free tongue away from the incoming framing component; rotating the device so that the sides of the spacing member face a fastened component; lowering the free tongue until it contacts the fastened component; finally adjusting the positions of the framing components; engaging the attachment means; tightening the pivotable connection; and, optionally, engaging the locking tabs.
