Definitions
- This invention relates to a mate line closure for modular buildings and the like, as well as an architectural embellishment that can be installed anywhere in a structure, whether a modular building or otherwise.
- Modular buildings and modular housing are formed of elements that are joined together in one fashion or another. Often, the joints in the interior of the structure are hidden by conventional means, such as applying drywall mud to seal any cracks where modular sections are joined. However, due to the modularity of the structures, and temperature variations, as well as settling, often cracks reappear resulting in an unsightly final structure.
- the invention is directed to an aesthetic structural embellishment, comprising a pair of elongated modular elements, each modular element comprising a portion of a modular unit, with the modular elements having junction ends proximate one another when comprising the modular unit.
- a key is provided, forming a union of the modular elements at the junction ends, with the key covering at least a portion of the modular elements at the junction ends.
- each modular element comprises spaced opposite panels.
- a panel spreader is located between the panels, maintaining a pre-determined spacing between the panels, and the panels are affixed to the spreader.
- a cover is provided for, and extending essentially co-terminally with, the panels.
- a filler such as foam, may be added, substantially occupying space between the panels.
- the key comprises opposite side plates and a bottom plate.
- a spreader segment may be provided, extending between and normal to the side plates.
- an end cap is provided for each of the modular elements.
- the cap comprises a bonnet.
- the cap comprises an architectural pillar.
- an architectural column may be associated with each modular element.
- an elongated spacer can be provided for one side of the modular unit.

Abstract
A mate line closure and aesthetic structural embellishment for structures, included modular buildings. A pair of elongated modular elements, forming part of a modular unit, are provided, having junction ends proximate one another when assembled as the modular unit. A key joins the modular elements at the junction ends, the key forming a finished union with opposite side plates and a bottom plate. The modular unit is installed in portions in a building, such as at a mate line, and is preferably secured to an under support installed before the elements of the modular unit are then installed.
Description
- This invention relates to a mate line closure for modular buildings and the like, as well as an architectural embellishment that can be installed anywhere in a structure, whether a modular building or otherwise.
- Modular buildings and modular housing, as the names suggest, are formed of elements that are joined together in one fashion or another. Often, the joints in the interior of the structure are hidden by conventional means, such as applying drywall mud to seal any cracks where modular sections are joined. However, due to the modularity of the structures, and temperature variations, as well as settling, often cracks reappear resulting in an unsightly final structure.
- The invention is directed to an aesthetic structural embellishment, comprising a pair of elongated modular elements, each modular element comprising a portion of a modular unit, with the modular elements having junction ends proximate one another when comprising the modular unit. A key is provided, forming a union of the modular elements at the junction ends, with the key covering at least a portion of the modular elements at the junction ends.
- In accordance with the preferred form of the invention, each modular element comprises spaced opposite panels. A panel spreader is located between the panels, maintaining a pre-determined spacing between the panels, and the panels are affixed to the spreader. A cover is provided for, and extending essentially co-terminally with, the panels. A filler, such as foam, may be added, substantially occupying space between the panels.
- In one form of the invention, the key comprises opposite side plates and a bottom plate. A spreader segment may be provided, extending between and normal to the side plates.
- Preferably an end cap is provided for each of the modular elements. Depending on the architectural requirements, in one form of the invention, the cap comprises a bonnet. In another form of the invention, the cap comprises an architectural pillar. For further architectural interest, an architectural column may be associated with each modular element.
- To accommodate irregularities in structures, an elongated spacer can be provided for one side of the modular unit. The spacer is just as its name suggests, something to fill what otherwise would be a void.
- In all forms of the invention, it is preferred that an under support be first secured to the structure with the modular elements then secured to the under support. The under support comprises a top member and opposite side members.
