Definitions

  • the present invention relates to components which are suitable for construction of a house and/or shed.
  • Houses and sheds constructed using steel frames are typically constructed in accordance with the following procedure.
  • a concrete slab is poured and dynabolts or holding down bolts are appropriately secured in the slab of concrete at predetermined locations to provide means by which a steel frame can be secured to the slab of concrete.
  • Columns are then erected substantially vertically and secured to the dynabolts or holding bolts at their lower ends.
  • the columns are positioned linearly relative to each other and a corresponding linear arrangement of columns is positioned substantially parallel with the first linear arrangement of columns such that the overall arrangement of columns is substantially symmetrical and each column of each linear arrangement of columns has a corresponding column which is positioned directly opposite it.
  • Roof supports are formed by spanning beams between upper ends of corresponding columns. A single beam may span between corresponding columns.
  • two or more beams may join end-to- end in spanning between upper ends of corresponding columns. It is common for two identical beams to span between the upper ends of corresponding columns . One end of each beam is attached to the upper end of the corresponding columns and the free ends of each of the beams are secured together at a point substantially midway between the corresponding columns.
  • the frame of a house or shed is constructed. Sheeting may then be secured to external surfaces of the columns and beams to form the side walls and roof respectively of the house or shed.
  • the lower ends of the columns are typically attached directly to the dynabolts or holding down bolts and the beams are typically secured relative to each other and the columns via either welds or bolts or a combination of welds and bolts .
  • adaptor members are used to secure beams to other beams or columns; however, the adaptor members are secured to such beams or columns in the same fashion.
  • Sheeting is typically attached to external surfaces of the columns and beams via top hats.
  • the top hats are typically screwed to columns and beams such that their longitudinal axes extend substantially transversely relative to longitudinal axes of the beams and columns . In this way adjacent, substantially parallel beams and columns are connected by top hats. Sheeting can then be screwed to the top hats to enclose the house or shed. It is typically time-consuming to assemble a house or shed frame which is constructed using beams and columns in accordance with the above described method.

La poutre ou colonne (12, 14) présente des ouvertures (26) opposées dans des murs (20, 22) opposés, les ouvertures (26) opposées étant disposées de manière à loger un élément allongé destiné à empêcher un déplacement télescopique relatif de la pièce de raccordement (18) et de la poutre ou colonne (12, 14). La poutre ou colonne (12, 14) peut également comprendre un mur (20, 22) comportant un ou plusieurs taquets (28) opposés se trouvant dans un alignement sensiblement axial avec l'axe longitudinal de la poutre ou de la colonne (12, 14). Les extrémités libres des taquets (28) s'étendent vers l'extérieur des murs (20, 22) et l'une vers l'autre, de façon à retenir les bords opposés d'une plaque entre elles.
