(Related application)

This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 13 / 850,984 filed March 26, 2013, which is a separate application of U.S. Patent Application No. 13 / 613,441, filed on September 13, 2012, U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 613,441 filed on March 26, 2012, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 685,793, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 685,793, I argue. This application is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The present application relates to storm-resistant components and residential or commercial structures that are improved to withstand the dangerous forces exerted by storms, heavy rain, torsion, and earthquakes.

This section provides background information related to the subject matter of this application and is not necessarily prior art.

It is well known that hurricanes and tornadoes cause storms that can destroy or destroy common residential and commercial buildings. Storms are known to remove or damage roof panels, roofing materials, exterior wall panels, and exterior panels' primary sealing systems. Moreover, storms are well known for lifting the entire roof system and for overturning or absorbing the outer walls.

The winds associated with tornados and hurricanes are known to include destructive straight winds and other destructive forces that twist structures to effectively twist and separate structures. In addition, tornadoes and hurricane storms strike structures with earthquake-like forces that effectively weaken the fixation forces of nails and screws. Moreover, tornado storms include tornadoes or small tornadoes within large tornadoes, which can create an efficient and dynamic wall of wind that impacts the structure, and eventually, It does not just overtake the structure, it effectively knocks it out.

When observing a tornado storm, it appears that whirlwind is irregular, unpredictable, and moving in a warble-like pattern or path. The wobble-like movement on the ground swings in the direction, and the wind-wall impact, which is the same as the force acting on the structure when applied, is applied. In conclusion, frame-like structures are often severely damaged from direct blows by tornadoes regardless of the magnitude and type of storm.

Storms are also known to drive considerable amounts of rainfall that affect structures, even before they fail or become damaged. In addition to the obvious effects due to broken windows and other damaged building components, storms are known to cause flooding, even though they do not cause structural damage, by raining the exhaust that functions in the normal roof system .

In addition to the risk of wind and rain, severe winds are different from seismic forces due to earthquakes, but they have seismic forces on buildings. One of the reasons why the frame-shaped building explodes and is fragmented is that the fasteners such as nails and screws are severely loosened and lose their fixing force when the seismic force is applied. As a result, once the nail and screw fasteners are damaged, naturally winds and rain. Torsional, earthquake, and other forces acting in concert can have a considerable destructive impact on the structure.

There are a number of published patents dealing with various hurricane or tornado width winds by asserting the use of any one of a number of reinforcement assemblies. However, one of the important issues in well-known cases is that such cases are not suitable for a do-it-yourself culture and are not cost-effective for mass consumption.

Another problem in the prior art is that none of the patents for structural reinforcement systems when the primary sealing system of the roof or wall of the structure is damaged include the means for providing the secondary sealing system to the structure.

Another problem with the prior art is that none of the patents for structural reinforcement systems use building frame elements in the basic frame form to include means for resisting torsion and earthquakes in building systems.

There are several documents in the prior art in system related patents that can minimize flood damage from storms. None of these cases, however, is suitable for a handcrafted culture and is not cost effective for mass consumption. In addition, none of the prior art provides any reinforcement augmentation means to improve the structural integrity of frame-type buildings to resist destructive torsional forces exerted by storms or destructive seismic forces caused by storms or other earthquakes . Moreover, none of these sealing systems prior art provide a secondary sealing system when the primary sealing system is damaged.

The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a secondary watertight seal used to maintain a reasonable wall from a storm when the primary watertight wall is damaged via a roof or wall during a storm period.

The present embodiment is also directed to a fixed system in which everything is joined together to provide an integral structural frame structure that can withstand wind, torsion, and seismic forces, a linear compression block, a roof system that resists torsion, The purpose of the present invention is to provide the integrity of a tensile compression column that is resistant.

The present invention is not limited to the above object.

This section provides a general overview of the disclosure and is not a comprehensive disclosure of the full scope or all aspects of the disclosure.

The present invention overcomes well known problems in a manner that is readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Moreover, the disclosure provides technical features and usability that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, for other applications beyond the preferred embodiments.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a typical residential building or a prefabricated residential building in which certain portions of the structure are enhanced and substantially strengthened to withstand the destructive wind forces of hurricanes and tornadoes when headwind, twisting, and seismic forces are applied . The preferred embodiment provides a secondary watertight seal used to maintain a reasonable wall from a storm if the primary watertight wall is damaged via a roof or wall during a storm period.

The second watertight seal is understood to mean that the structure must maintain a reasonable structural integrity. Therefore, a series of structural reinforcements are applied to maintain structural integrity against storms and for this purpose. The structural reinforcement system consists of several subsystems to comprehensively reinforce the structural integrity of the structure. These subsystems include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following.

 Anchoring system

 Wall reinforcement system

 Rafter / fixing system

 Wind Beam System

 Diaphragm reinforcement system

 Wall sheeting system

 Roof Decking System

 Ventilation system

 Sealing system to protect windows / doors

Safe indoor system

It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that when multiple typical structures require all of these subsystems to properly strengthen the structure against storms, multiple complex structures may require additional specialized subsystems, It will be readily appreciated that only a subset of these can be claimed. A brief description of each subsystem continues.

Further fields of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. The description and specific examples in this overview are intended for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

The disclosure of the present invention enhances the structural integrity of a frame structure having sub-assemblies 223 in each corner and bulkhead reinforcement assembly 220.

In addition to these remedial measures, the disclosure of the present invention provides a fixation system in which everything is joined together to provide an integral structural frame structure that can withstand strong wind, torsion, and seismic forces stronger than anything that existed before the present invention, A linear compression block, a torsion-resistant roof system, and the integrity and advantages of a torsional compression column.

Moreover, the disclosure of the present invention has the advantage of a secondary sealing system for maintaining a complete seal even when the casing and the primary sealing system are damaged by a storm.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure provides an improved system for a typical residential or commercial structure wherein a series of specialized components in a residential or commercial structure are constructed such that the main sealing system of the roof and / or exterior wall is damaged, , And, when removed, are integrated with one another to enhance the structural integrity of the storm-resistant structures such as hurricanes and / or tornadoes to provide a secondary watertight seal to the structure.

As a result, existing roofs and outer walls provide an aesthetic exterior and primary watertight seal to the structure, but the present invention provides a secondary watertight seal even when the primary seal system is exposed to storms and is damaged.

The disclosure of the present invention provides structure reinforcement means that can be applied to existing structures as well as new structures to improve structural integrity and secondary seals against wind forces due to hurricanes and / or tornadoes.

Fixing system 10 in accordance with the present invention is a subsystem that secures building structure 20 to slab 12 or other underlying component. The reinforcement system according to a preferred embodiment provides special first and second anchor bolts 22, 24 to provide proper positioning and fastening means for engaging other structural reinforcement elements. Another preferred embodiment uses a standard anchor bolt member. Whether using the special anchor bolts 22 or 24 or the standard anchor bolts, the present invention includes anchor bolts connecting the free extending portions 22a and 24a of the special anchor bolts 22 and 24 to the anchor bracket 16, The proper fastening means, including the nuts 26 and 28, are used for the construction or improvement of the newly installed building slab 12, the existing slab, the ceiling space wall or the structure on the basement wall Are positioned between consecutively spaced apart members such as studs 30, 32, studs. The free extending portions 22a and 24a of the anchor bolts 22 and 24 with respect to each of the fixing brackets 16 are formed in order to resist axial rotation / torsion of the columns 30 and 32 and the structural columns 18 With respect to the longitudinal axis 27 of the structural column 18 connected to the stationary bracket 16 of the frame. The present invention is not limited to the case where the fixation system 10 is mounted on a wall reinforcement system 34 (shown and described with reference to Figures 2-3) and / or a secure indoor system 72 (shown and described with reference to Figure 13) To combine and integrate the features of a single unit.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the wall reinforcement system 34 as defined by the present invention is configured to provide a generally horizontal wall structure of the building structure 20 (as shown in Figure 1) to provide significant increased compressive and tensile forces in the wall structure 36 36). The wall 38 made of a general wood or metal tot column with successively spaced spacing studs 30, 32, studs has an adequate compressive force but is very vulnerable to lifting forces during the storm, Do. In addition, the wall reinforcement system 34 of the present invention provides resistance to forces that cause torsional and / or rhombic conditions. The special structural member or structural column 18 is a metal tube installed in the wall 38 at predetermined intervals between adjacent columns of the columns along the wall 38 and / Which is fundamentally stronger than a typical wall post wall member such as a metal posts, and can be firmly and strongly attached to the fixation system 10 described with reference to FIG. According to one embodiment, the sheeting 42 is bolted to a special wall member fixed to the foundation slab 12 and a dual top plate of the rafter / joist fixation system 46. The wall reinforcement system 34 provides a strong and firm connection from the bottom plate of the wall post 38 to the top plate 44 of the post wall 38, which is strongly and firmly attached and closed.

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, according to one embodiment, structural pillars 18 may be formed by upper and lower chords of a roof truss or ceiling joists of a common roof system and rafters are bolted to roof elements 50, 52, such as rafters, through top plate 44 of wall 38. The wall reinforcement system 34 joins together the foundations using the roofed components, the walled components and the structural columns 18 that are bolted / bolted to the opposite ends of the building structure.

1, 3 and 4, the present invention relates to a multi-layered wall structure 56 in which upper and lower wall reinforcing posts 18, 18 are connected by bolt connectors to the entire area of the bottom girder structure 54, It is applied to multi-layer structures by using bolted connections over the entire area of the joist structure (54). The present invention can be used with fixed system 10 and raft / joist fixation system 66 (shown and described with reference to Figure 5) and wall covering system 68 (shown and described with reference to Figure 7) The wall reinforcement system 34 is configured to cooperate and integrate the features of the secure indoor system 72 (shown and described with reference to Fig. 10) and / or the secure indoor system 72 (shown and described with reference to Fig. 13) To effectively utilize the entire wall structure 56.

4 and 5, the rafter / joist fixation system 66 according to the present invention includes a top or bottom raft 50, a bottom or ceiling line 52, (44), and more directly to an important wall reinforcement system (34). The raft / joist fixation system 66 may also include a plurality of rafters 50 and / or joists 50 that are directly or indirectly connected to members of the wall reinforcement system 34, Provides strong connection means at the point where the inner and outer wall bodies intersect with each other.

Referring to FIG. 5, each wall reinforcement member or structural column 18 is bolted to a rafter fixed connection 74. A typical truss example is provided when the rafter fixed extension 76 is deployed between a lower chord 52 and an upper chord 50 of the truss 78. The rafter / joiner fixing system 66 prevents the rafters 50 and / or the joists 52 from being damaged by the lifting force of the wind. The rafter / joist fixation system 66 also increases the force of the structure to withstand the shear forces acting on the structure due to the straight forward whirlwind or whirlwind winds, which can cause the rafters 50 and / / / ≪ / RTI > Tests and studies indicate that the best roof slope to survive the storm is about 15 degrees off the horizontal plane, and the roof construction works better than the glazed wall construction. The smaller the roof protrusion, the better the roof protrusion is .

The present invention and the rafter / joist fixation system 66 may utilize existing research to improve standard roof construction, but provide improved means for other roof structures that do not comply with prior art surveys for the best storm structure do. The present invention can be applied to a wall reinforcement system 34 and a wind beam system 80 (shown and described with reference to Figure 6), a roof finish system 82 (shown and described with reference to Figure 8), a ventilation system 84 By using the rafter / joist fixture system 66 so that the advantages of each of the septum reinforcement system 70 and / or the safe indoors system 72 work together and are integrated, as shown and described with reference to Figure 11, Use the roof system effectively.

Referring to FIG. 6, the wind beam system 80 according to the present invention is a series of reinforcing elements used in the connection of the rafters 50, 50 and the truss 52 to enhance the structural integrity of the rafters and truss. The general truss 52 is provided by a wind beam component comprising a wind beam work piece connection 92, a wind beam extension 94 and a wind-beam ridge connector 96 in several preferred embodiments And is improved at the connection points 86, 88, 90. The wind beam work piece connecting portion 92 is a metal member connecting the joist line 52 and the inclinedly formed joining member. In various aspects of the invention, the joining portion 92 is composed of a central gable and a stud or king It is an air (100, kingpost). The wind beam ridge connecting portion 96 is a metal plate connecting the king airbag 100 and the roof top or rafters 50 and 50. The wind beam continuous portion 94 is a U-channel metal used to connect the wind beam beam connecting portion 92 and the wind beam ridge connecting portion 96. Common construction techniques for rafters (50) and trusses (52) include individual nails and nails at the connection points. Under storm conditions, if the wind is blowing directly on the roof, one side of the roof is the side of the wind direction. As a result, the force acting on the roof regards the wind as compression. Conversely, the opposite side of the roof is the wind-blown side and generates a lifting force acting on the opposite side of the roof. As a result, the combination of the one surface to be lifted and the other surface to push the roof down is a relatively small force, but causes severe structural damage.

The wind beam system 80 includes a wind beam beam connecting portion 92, a wind beam extending portion 94, a wind beam ridge connecting portion 96, which effectively combine the entire roof system so as to function as a unit rather than an individual roof member. And / or trusses 98 with strong and securely fastened members, such as bolts and / or bolts. Wind beam system 80 is also effective in conventional rafter systems and / or truss systems. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the greater the roof slope, the greater the lifting force of the wind-driven surface, and, if all else is equal, the wind beam system 80 needs to be stronger and more effective. The present invention effectively combines the entire roof system with the features of each of the rafter / cabinet fixing system 66 and the roof deck system 82 and the ventilation system 84, the diaphragm reinforcement system 70 and / By using the features of the wind beam system 80 to enable them to cooperate and integrate.

The wall covering system 68 bolts the sheet 42 to the wall reinforcement system 34 to reinforce the sheet to remain securely in place when the structure is exposed to a storm. Because the wall covering system 68 is reliably in place during the storm, a secondary watertight seal protects the wall from wind and rain even when the primary cover and sealing facade are damaged or lost during storms that affect the structure . One preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a specially bolted fastener 102 that features an enlarged flat head 104 with a projection 106 that seats into the seat 42 and is secured Sealing ring ribs 108 underneath the enlarged head 104 to maintain a watertight seal. Application Thus, the wall covering system 68 is included in a secure indoor system 72 such that there is a need to prevent airborne debris from entering the interior. The present invention is based on the idea that the wall reinforcement system 34 and the sealing system 112 (shown and described with respect to FIG. 12) and the secure interior system 72, which protect the windows / doors, Effectively utilizing the features of the system 68 to effectively unify the entire wall structure.

Referring to FIGS. 1-3 and 8, the roof deck system 82 according to the present invention includes a cover such as a plywood sheet of a structure prior to the use of incidental exterior or exterior materials such as shingles, metal, 0.0 > 114 < / RTI > A watertight tape seal 116 that sticks over the seam 118 at the edge where the roof deck 114 meets helps provide a watertight seal. The roof deck system 82 includes an improved fixture by a series of applications in which nails and / or screws and / or fixtures are specially patterned to securely hold the roof deck 114 attached to the rafters and / Lt; / RTI >

Referring to Figures 1-3, 8 and 9, and in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a particular fixture 120 has a relatively large head and a special retention feature (not shown) to provide enhanced retention of the roof to the rafters and / . Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the roof is protruded and grooved to provide a watertight seal by the intersecting corners of the roof. Another embodiment of the deck 114 features a shiplap edge with a watertightly sealed edge on the oblique cutout. The roof of another embodiment is positioned below the edge of the adjacent deck 114 to provide a secure anchoring surface to the entire edge 126 of the deck 114 and includes an array block 124, blocking. The array block 124 provides an effective sealing surface below the edge of the sheet adjacent deck 114 and prevents relative bending at the edge where adjacent sheets of the roof meet. The array block 124 provides proper alignment and space between the rafters 50, 50 while providing resistance to twisting and tilting forces acting on rafters and joists. The array block 124 features a continuous array of compression blocks disposed between rafters and / or joists placed in parallel to prevent horizontal collapse of the structure.

The arrangement block 124 according to a preferred embodiment includes a bracket that is preassembled at the end of the arrangement block 124 or installed after the arrangement block 124 is installed. The brackets 128 additionally provide ease of assembly and structural integrity to the rafters 50 and deck 114. Other preferred applications of the present invention may be watertight sealing tape 116 over the marginal edges of adjacent sheets of deck 114 containing watertight film and / or acid and bone located on the roof.

A cross section of a roof deck system 82 according to a preferred embodiment includes a triple junction edge, an array block 124, an array block bracket 128, a roof fixture 120, Showing the tape seal 116 at the junction and the watertight membrane 130. The roof deck system 82 provides a secondary watertight seal so that the roof is weatherproof if the primary enclosure and sealing facade are damaged or lost during a storm impacting the structure. The present invention contemplates that the roof deck system 82 may be used in conjunction with the wall reinforcement system 34 and the wind beam system 80, raft / joist fixation system 66, roof floor system 82, ventilation system 84, 70 and / or the secure indoor system 72, and effectively integrates the entire roof structure.

Referring to FIG. 10, a diaphragm reinforcement system 70 in accordance with the present invention solves a number of diaphragm problems associated with residential and commercial structures. One common diaphragm problem is the pore end, for example, where the triangular wall pore end 132 is formed to enclose one end of the roof system 134. The pierced end 132 forms a pierced end plane 136 within the triangular shaped frame of the pierced end 132 that is susceptible to being blown or sucked by the storm. Another common diaphragm problem is the joist facet 138, which is formed by any of a number of rafter / joist / truss components, such as joist 52, aligned in an arrangement proximate to the pitting end 132 of the roof construction . The long side surface 138 is liable to be warped, twisted, or horizontally moved by a storm. Another common diaphragm problem is the ceiling scene 140, which is formed by the ceiling 142 above the lower surface of the joist line 52 which is aligned and arranged. The ceiling scene 140 is prone to twisting or bending due to the long side surface 138 corresponding to the storm acting on the structure.

The present invention overcomes the problems associated with these diaphragms by using a diaphragm reinforcement system (70). A preferred embodiment of the diaphragm stiffening system 70 is characterized by a pearling brace 144 that extends across the end of the pavement 132. The edge braces 144 according to the preferred embodiment provide a series of specialized brackets 146 that cooperate with standard wood components to enhance the structural integrity of the pierced end surface 136. [ The structural brace 148 and associated brackets in the edge brace in accordance with another preferred embodiment span across the pierced end 132 to enhance the structural integrity of the pierced end surface 136. [ A diaphragm reinforcement system 70 in accordance with another preferred embodiment includes a series of elbow braces 70 that extend across an array of aligned arcs 52 to enhance the structural integrity of the arrays of jaws to prevent the joists from being adversely affected by storms Element (150).

The joist brace element 150 is firmly attached to the joist line 52 to prevent deformation of the ceiling scene 140 as well as that the joist line 52 suffers from deformation of the joist facet 138. The trestle brace element 150 is rigidly secured to the specialized pier end bracket 152 at the pierced end 132 which is directly secured to the wall reinforcement system 34 component which also allows the entire structure Fix to the element. The joist brace element 150 also includes a strut element 154 attached to one end of the joist brace element 150 and at the same time a tilt angle from the edge brace 144 to the connection point 156. The strut 154 forms a triangular hypotenuse consisting of a strut 154, a pierced end face 136 and a long strut 158, which is the structural integrity of the diaphragm described above, Resulting in an improved structural means for imparting < RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI > One or more brace brackets 160 connecting the brace posts 158 and the braces 52 constitute members of the brace brace elements 150.

10, the pierced end face 136, the ceiling surface 140, and the long side surface 138 are connected to the pierced end bracket 152, the brace brace 160, the brace brace 158, 154 and the edge strap 144, which are also structurally reinforced simultaneously. As a result, the entire set of diaphragms are integrated and effectively combined together into a system made of a relatively large unit with structural integrity to maintain a watertight sealing system for the structure when subjected to a storm. The present invention includes a diaphragm reinforcement system 70 that includes a fixed system 10, a wall reinforcement system 34, a rafter / joist fixation system 66, a wind beam system 80, a wall covering system 68, a ventilation system 84 ), And / or the safe indoor system 72, using and integrating the features of each.

Referring to Figure 11, according to one preferred embodiment of the ventilation system 84, the internal access vent 162 passes air from the entire lower portion of the air conditioning space and the roof system that make up the resident portion of the structure And a closed cell spray foam 168 insulates and seals the entire roof system 170 and the lower surface of the pore end 132 to prevent leakage. The ventilation system 84 in accordance with the present invention provides a solution to maintain the proper temperature conditions in the air in the roof space 166 of the structure so that proper air conversion and / or regulation occurs within the roof space 166. [ Common ventilation methods include a series of externally connected outlets, such as eaves in the eaves, pavement outlets, roof outlets, turbines, and louvers, many of which are passive or powered.

A serious problem with all well-known external access ventilation systems is that they are susceptible to damage / wear or complete removal during storms in storm conditions that cause leaks and subsequent damage. Another serious problem experienced by all well-known conventional external ventilation systems is that even though they remain barely intact during the storm, they are subjected to storms that cause leaks and subsequent damage, It is more likely to be affected. Therefore, the ventilation system 84 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to provide specialized external ventilation. It can remain rigid and functionally intact, such as draining from the structure, while preventing water from passing through and / or changing direction and / or deposits damaging the interior of the structure, while at the same time controlling and mitigating weather conditions during storm conditions To control the incoming and outgoing air.

In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, all external connection vents are removed to solve problems associated with such position and / or ventilation, and all external connection vents can be adjusted slightly in the adjustment portion of the structure and in the roof space With an appropriately made internal connection vent 162 for direct connection of the roof space for ventilation. Therefore, there is no externally ventilated vent for ventilating the inside of the building structure and the air outside the building structure. The conditioned air in the roof space 166 is suitably cooled and heated to maintain an appropriate temperature range within the roof space 166, depending on the season during the year. The conditioned air in the roof space 166 is made possible by the absence of incoming or outgoing outside air that affects the roof space 166. However, an efficient insulation sealing system, such as a blowing agent 168 sprayed into a sealed chamber, is applied to the entire lower portion of the roof construction to be filled between the rafters 50 so that water and air penetrate into the roof space 166 Water and an air-tight seal are provided. The foaming agent 168 injected into the enclosed chamber may be removed from the roof bottom plate 114 or the shingles 172 or other external surfaces that may penetrate into the roof space through the roof bottom plate, Cover and seal the fixtures of the construction. The blowing agent 168 sprayed into the enclosed chamber covers the wall 174 of the pore end portions 132 in the same manner. The present invention applies a ventilation system 84 so that the respective features of the roof floor system 82, the wind beam system 80, the rafter / cabinet fixing system 66, and the diaphragm reinforcement system 70 work together and integrate together Thereby effectively cooperating with the unified roof structure.

12, the window / door protection system 112 according to the preferred embodiment is configured such that the removable protective cover 180 is attached to a resilient structure suitable for the decorative cover plate 178 that is securely secured to the cover plate 178 And provides a typical window 176. The window / door protection system 112 according to the present invention provides a protective cover 180 over the window 176 to minimize the possibility of breakage during a storm. The window / door protection system 112 according to one preferred embodiment includes a bracket 182 and a fastening hardware for securely mounting on the structure and includes a suitable protective cover (not shown) designed to cooperate and cooperate with the installed protective cover bracket 182 180). The protective covers 180 are still mounted until required to prepare for an upcoming storm. The bracket 182 is continuously mounted on the structure and has appropriate decorative properties. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention features a protective cover 186 similar to the door 188 and / or is installed inside the outer door to prevent the bracket from being absorbed or blown out during a storm. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a protective cover mounted on a garage door (not shown) so that the bracket can not be absorbed or blown out during a storm period.
