[ building Components ]

Referring to fig. 1-3, wherein fig. 1 is an exploded view of the construction assembly 100 of the present disclosure, fig. 2 is an assembled perspective view of the construction assembly 100 of fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a partial schematic view of an assembly after two panels 380 are assembled using the construction assembly 100 of fig. 1.

The construction assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a support member 110, a pair of first sealing members 120, an elastically deformable gasket 130, and a second sealing member 140. The structure of the supporting member 110 includes a bottom plate 111 having a first front side 1111 and a first rear side 1112; a channel 112 centrally located on the first front side 1111 of the base plate; and a pair of rails 114, which are respectively located at the left and right sides of the channel 112 and are parallel to the channel, and respectively extend along the length direction of the bottom plate 111 and are equal to the length of the bottom plate 111.

The present construction assembly 100 also includes a pair of first seals 120 that are respectively engageable with the pair of rails 114. Each first sealing member 120 includes a first bottom 121 having a second front side 1211 and a second back side 1212; and a first anti-slip portion 122a and a second anti-slip portion 122b respectively extending from the first bottom second rear side 1212 along the length direction thereof and having the same length as the first bottom 121. During assembly, the first and second

anti-slip portions

122a, 122b of each first sealing member 120 are pressed into one of the two tracks 114 of the support member 110, thereby creating an air-tight surface and a pocket region 115 for receiving a building panel (not shown in fig. 1-2) therein. In particular, each pocket area 115 refers to the space defined by one of the two tracks 114 and one of the two channel walls. Thus, two building panels 380 (e.g., wall panels or ceilings) can be placed in the two pocket areas 115 and against the pair of rails 114 and the channel 112, respectively (see fig. 3).

Next, a resiliently deformable spacer 130 is pressed or snapped into the channel 112 of the support member 110 to secure the two building panels 380 in the two pocket regions 115. The elastically deformable spacer 130 has a space 132 with a U-shaped or V-shaped cross section; and two flanges 134 extending horizontally outward from the two edges of the U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section space 132. Once the resiliently deformable pad 13 is snapped into the channel 112 of the support member 110, the two flanges 134 press against the two building panels 380, respectively, and hold them in the two pocket regions 115 (fig. 3). Finally, the second sealing member 140 is pressed or snapped into the U-shaped or V-shaped space 132 of the elastically deformable gasket 130 to fix the elastically deformable gasket 130, and the second sealing member 140 and the elastically deformable gasket 130 are airtight, thereby completing the assembly of the present construction assembly 100. Structurally, the second sealing member 140 includes a second bottom portion 141, a rib 142 and two extending portions 143. The second bottom 141 has a third front side 1411 and a third rear side 1412. The rib 142 is formed at the center of the third rear side 1412 of the second base 141 and extends along the length direction thereof and is as long as the second base 141. In an optional embodiment, the rib 142 may be hollow. In this embodiment, the ribs 142 are hollow and have a rectangular cross-section and are sized to be received in the U-shaped or V-shaped spaces 132 of the resiliently deformable spacer 130. The two extensions 143 extend from the second bottom third rear side 1412, respectively, in a direction perpendicular thereto away from the third rear side 1412 and hold the resiliently deformable pad 130 in a fixed position by climbing over the two flanges 134.

In the present disclosure, the first sealing element 120, the elastically deformable gasket 130, and the second sealing element 140 may be made of an elastic material such as polypropylene (PP), chloroprene rubber, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), respectively. Examples of TPEs suitable for use in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, thermoplastic styrene (TPS), thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), thermoplastic polyether ester (TPEE), and Thermoplastic Polyamide (TPA), and the like. According to a preferred embodiment, the first and

second sealing elements

120 and 140 are each made of TPV, and the elastically deformable gasket 130 is made of PP.

[ ASSEMBLIES FOR BUILDING SUITABLE FOR BUILDING CYLINDER ]

Referring to fig. 4, there is shown another design of the construction assembly of the present disclosure, an construction assembly 400 of this design suitable for assembling a construction panel in the presence of a construction column. The construction assembly 400 of this embodiment is substantially the same as the construction assembly 100 of fig. 1 except for the support 410.

Since the construction assembly 400 of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the construction assembly 100 of fig. 1, the same components will be denoted by common reference numerals. For example, the reference numeral 110 for the supporting member of fig. 1 is 410 in fig. 4; the resiliently deformable spacer of figure 1 is referenced 130 and 430 in figure 4, and so on.

The support 410 of this embodiment differs from the support 110 of fig. 1 in that it additionally comprises a structure for receiving a building column (e.g., a beam column on a ceiling). As shown in FIG. 4, the support member 410 further structurally includes a rectangular channel 470 formed in the fourth rear side 4112 of the floor 411 of the support member 410 and sized to receive the building column 450 therein.

When assembling the sterile room, high pressure or negative pressure chamber, the support member 410 is first fastened to the building column 450 by screws 460 or any fastening means such as nut-bolt, and then the two first sealing members 420 are pressed into the two rails 414, respectively, thereby forming two pocket areas 415 for mounting the building wall 480 (it is understood that the two pocket areas 415 are not visible in fig. 4, and are occupied by the two building walls 480, respectively); the elastically deformable spacer 430 having the U-shaped cross section is then engaged into the channel 412, and the second sealing member 440 is then engaged into the U-shaped space of the elastically deformable spacer 430, thereby completing the assembly of the two building panels 480 with the building component 400 of the present embodiment. Other walls, ceilings, or similar building panels (e.g., walls having rows of sockets, gas channels, etc.) may be assembled in a similar manner with the construction assembly 100 of the present disclosure until the desired cabin is completed.

Each of the components of fig. 1-4 may be fabricated in a similar manner, such as molding, pressing, injection molding, extrusion molding, and the like; preferably by extrusion. Alternatively, grinding (milled) or grinding (sanded) may be used to fabricate each of the components of fig. 1-4. Each of the components of fig. 1-4 may be made of plastic, ceramic, metal, or other equivalent materials, except for the components of which the materials are specifically identified (e.g., first slip stop, second slip stop, rib, or resiliently deformable pad).

Although the foregoing embodiments have been described with reference to specific embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
