As previously explained, the horizontal stiffener 1160 is similar to that described in WO 03/102321 (and therefore comprises engaging means 1163 as the second vertical stiffener, but they are not shown in Figure 3 but in In Fig. 5, except that one end 1166 of the horizontal stiffener 1160 is formed with a plurality of interlocking projections 1162 to interact with the interlocking fingers 208 of the connector 2''. The majority of the interlocking projections 1162 are more clearly shown in Fig. 5, and Fig. 5 is a side view of the end 1166 of the horizontal reinforcement member 116 of Fig. 3. As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of pairs of adjacent interlocking bumps 丨 "? are separated by a plurality of openings 1164, and the openings 1164 receive one of the interlocking fingers 2 〇 8 of the connector 2 〇〇 Corresponding to the interlocking finger 208. The planar body 202 of the connector 2 is sized and shaped to correspond to the size and shape of the horizontal reinforcing member 116, so that the interlocking lug of the horizontal reinforcing member 1160 1162 can be received by the spaces 210 so that the interlocking projections 1162 are staggered between the interlocking fingers 2〇8 of the connector 2〇〇. The interlocking projections 1162 are then bent to The interlocking fingers 208 are locked. Once locked, unless the machine that can destroy the components is used, the interlocking projections 1162 and the interlocking fingers 2〇8 cannot be separated from each other. As can be seen from Fig. 3 The plurality of interlocking fingers include pairs of top and bottom interlocking fingers 2〇8a, 2〇8b, 2〇8c, 208d extending beyond the body of the horizontal stiffener 1160. To connect the other end of the horizontal stiffener 1160 1168 (see Figure 4a) and the first vertical stiffener 112〇, using a similar to the above and in Figure 2 The second connector 12 is shown and the similar components are 1 〇〇〇 for similar symbols. 10 201217614 The support assembly 1100 includes a set for easy installation of the horizontal stiffener 1160 and allowing for adjustment. The tubular member 180 is described, for example, in W/2007/032746 and the content is incorporated by reference to extend the effective length of the horizontal stiffener 116. In this embodiment, the level is enhanced similar to Figure 5. The interlocking projection 1162 of the member 1160, the one end of the sleeve member 18 is also pre-formed with the interlocking projection 182, so that the interlocking projection 182 of the sleeve member 18 can be mutually interacted with the second connector 1200 The locking fingers 12 〇 8 are locked. The second connector 12 〇〇 also includes a plurality of protruding protrusions 1212 for engaging the slots 1122. In order to use the s-connector 200, 1200, two vertical reinforcing members 1 ]_ 20, 1140 are mounted to the positioning in accordance with the design requirements as described in WO 03/102321. The end 1166 is then mated with the connector 200 as described above and the other end 1168 and the sleeve The water of the tubular member 180 is fitted (the free end is locked with the second connector 1200) The flat stiffener 1160 is disposed at a desired location between the two vertical stiffeners 1120, 1140. This is shown in Figure 4a (and the two vertical stiffeners 1120, 1140 are shown in a simplified form and the slot 1122 is not shown) The four protruding protrusions 212 of the connector 200 are then inserted into the corresponding slots 1142 of the vertical reinforcing member 1140, so that the protruding protrusions 212 and the corresponding slots 1142 are engaged, as shown in FIG. 4b. Figure 8a shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the engagement between one of the protruding projections 212 and the corresponding slot 1142 to more clearly show the engagement. Figure 8b is a cross-sectional view of the 8th & figure in the D-D direction. As shown in FIG. 8b, the outer portion 212b of the protruding protrusion 212 is pushed into the slot 1142 of the vertical reinforcing member 1140 and pushed to one edge of the slot 1142, so that one end of the outer portion 212b engages the slot 201217614 The edge of 1142. When the vertical reinforcing member 1M is folded at the edge of the vertical slot as shown in Fig. 8b as a weir to engage the outer portion 212b to hold the protruding projection 212 and thus, the connector 200 is positioned. It should be understood that the connection between the interlocking fingers 208 and the interlocking lugs 162 is different, since the slots are longer than the protruding protrusions 212, as shown in FIG. 8b. As shown, the engagement between the protruding tabs 212 and the pair of slots 1142 allows the load transfer connector 200 (and thus the horizontal stiffener 1160) to be slot 1142 of the vertical stiffener U40. Separation. Next, as shown in FIG. 4c, the sleeve member 18〇 extends in a horizontal direction until the protruding protrusion 1212 of the second connector 1200 of the second embodiment is inserted and engaged with the corresponding slot 1122 of the first vertical reinforcement 112G. So far, it is similar to the joint shown in Figure 8b. Once the horizontal stiffener 116G is held by S], the stone cut wall 11〇2 is constructed as described in w〇〇3/i〇232i and the end configuration is shown in the lb diagram. in. field. When the top wall portion 1108 is constructed, the top wall portion 丨1〇8 produces a load applied to the horizontal reinforcing member. The load applied to the horizontal reinforcement member 0 is at least partially at least detached through the interlocking projections (10) and the detached portion of the lion 2 and is transmitted through the other end 1168. The (four) component coffee, the interlocking projection 182 of the sleeve member (10) and the interlocking fingers are transferred to the second connector recommended interlocking finger 1208. The connector then protrudes the negative _ overfeed The bump 212 and the slot (10) are moved from the body 2_ to the vertical stiffener (10) and transferred to the

Similarly, the second connector 12 转移 transfers the load through the protruding protrusions 1212 and the slots 1122 from the body thereof to the first vertical stiffener 1120 to reach the body of the first vertical stiffener 112 。. The horizontal stiffener 1160 transfers the horizontal load to the connector 2 through at least the top and bottom interlocking lugs 208a, 208b, 208c, 208d (and through the bumps 1208a, 1208b, 1208c, 1208d) The two connectors)' and then the connector 200 transfer the load to the second of the vertical stiffeners 14 through the protruding bumps 212 and the slots 1142 as described above. It should be noted that the top interlocking lugs 2〇8a, 208b or the bottom interlocking lugs 208c, 208d can help transfer the horizontal loads, but all the top and bottom 208a, 208b, 208c, 208d are also It can be helped depending on the configuration. In addition, other bumps 208 are also helpful. It will be appreciated that the horizontal load acting on one of the panels of the masonry wall (e.g., the wall portion 1108) is typically by the surrounding support members 'e.e., vertical and horizontal stiffeners 1120, 1140 on all edges of the panel. 1,160 to resist. When the horizontal stiffener 116 is present, the load is transferred to the full length of the body of the horizontal stiffener 1160, and the horizontal load is then transferred to the vertical stiffeners 1120, 1140 by the connectors 200, 1200. As can be seen from the described embodiments, the load transfer connectors 200, 1200 can transfer vertical and horizontal loads from the horizontal stiffeners 1160 to the vertical stiffeners 1120, 1140. In addition, the support assembly 1100 having the load transfer connectors 200, 12 is easily installed on site. In order to lock or secure the load transfer connector 200 to the horizontal stiffener 116 or the sleeve member 18, no 13 201217614 requires field welding 'because this can be bent by bending the interlocking lugs 1162, 182 The surface of the load transfer connector 200, 1200 is easily achieved. The load transfer connector 200 can also be compatible with existing support member assemblies such as StiflexTM from DyntekTM Pte Corporation. The load bearing connectors 200, 1200 are conveniently mass produced because they can be fabricated using conventional molding and stamping techniques. Because the effective length of the horizontal stiffener 1160 can be adjusted by adjusting the sleeve member 180, various adjustments can be made to allow for a variety of variations in the field, along with the support member assembly disclosed in WO 2007/032746. (1) by selecting the protruding bumps 212, 1212 for use with the connectors 2, 12, preferably in the increments of 10 mm, corresponding slots 1122, 1142; or (ii) The configuration of the connector 200, 12〇〇 enables the height to be adjusted by a TLmm& scale adjustment by mounting a horizontal reinforcement ιι6 that is flipped by 180° to adjust the horizontal reinforcement 1160 relative to the vertical reinforcement 112. , the height of 1丨4〇, and the figures 9a and 9b further show its significance. Figure 9a is a simplified and enlarged view of the end 1166 of the horizontal stiffener 116 锁 that is mated with the connector 200 of Figure 3. Figure 9a also shows the distance from the first edge 2〇6a of the connector 2 to its nearest protruding tab 212 (in terms of the pawl) and the closest protruding convex from the second edge 2〇6b The distance of block 212 is different. In other words, it can be appreciated that the distance from the edges 206a, 206b to the protruding bumps 212 is not symmetrical with respect to the center of the connector 200. If the horizontal stiffener i 16〇 is flipped or rotated 180 with the connector 200. As shown in Fig. 9b, this produces an 11 mm offset adjustment for mounting the s-connector 200 on the vertical stiffener 1140. 14 201217614 The described embodiments should not be construed as limiting. For example, in the preferred embodiment, the materials used for the load transfer connectors 2G0, 12A are made of Qiang Steel, but other suitable materials such as stainless steel may also be used. Further, it is explained in the embodiment that the load acting on the horizontal reinforcing member 116 (as indicated by an arrow B in Fig. 1b) is transferred to the two vertical reinforcing members ι 2, 1140. It is anticipated that the load can only be transferred to the vertical stiffeners of the vertical stiffeners 1120, 1140. In addition, it is also contemplated that in some configurations, the load transfer connector 2 (8), 12_ can be used to transfer a load on a vertical stiffener to a horizontal stiffener. In the illustrated embodiment, 'the connection between the load transfer connector 200, 1200 and the horizontal stiffener 116 是 is locked or fixed' and the load transfer connector 2 〇〇, 1200 is perpendicular thereto The connections between the stiffeners 1120, 1140 are separable. However, it is anticipated that the types of connections can be interchanged. Although the preferred embodiment is illustrative of the configuration shown in Figure lb, of course, the connectors 200, 1200 can be used in other configurations or applications to support different wall configurations. For example, if the opening 1〇4 of the first drawing is relatively wide and the load applied to the horizontal reinforcing member 16 0 must be transferred, the connector 200, U00 can also be used to interface the horizontal reinforcing member 16〇. And two vertical stiffeners 120, 140. The number of interlocking fingers 208, protruding tabs 212, and interlocking & blocks 1162, 182 of connector 200 can vary depending on the size and type of the stiffener. Figures 6 and 7 show other types of stiffeners 3〇〇, 4〇〇 that can be used as a horizontal stiffener or a vertical stiffener with a different number of interlocking lugs 3〇2, 4〇2. Since the present invention has been fully described herein, it will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will recognize that many modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
