- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/907,121 claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/653,781, filed May 31, 2012, and entitled “Non-Welded Metal Foundation” which is herein incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to metal foundations and more specifically to foundations formed of metal plates having a closed perimeter and integral fins.
- Metal foundations have been used to provide support for many different types of structures, because they offer many advantages over concrete foundations. Once installed, metal foundations can be used to instantly provide support for a structure, unlike concrete foundations which require a significant amount of time to cure. Metal foundations also can be installed in any weather condition and on any terrain; they are less damaging to the environment and they are easily moved when compared to concrete foundations.
- However the current metal foundations that are available have several disadvantages. Current metal foundations have fins that are not integrated into the metal foundation bodies and welding is used for assembly. Welding, either on site or offsite requires qualified people and special equipment. This adds to the expense of installing foundations. Usually because it is less expensive, the metal foundation bodies are welded together in a shop and then transported on to the worksite. Transporting pre-assembled metal foundations limits their size and shape. If the metal foundations necessary for a specific project are too large or awkward to transport, the individual pieces can be weld together on site. However, this increases the expense of installing metal foundations because all the necessary personnel and equipment must also be transported to the worksite. Welding also generates toxic fumes which is not healthy for people or environmentally friendly.
- There is a need in the art to provide alternative metal foundations.
- In order to overcome these deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a metal foundation includes a plurality of metal plate bodies coupled together forming the metal foundation, each metal plate body being comprised of lateral ends with integrated planar fins, wherein each of the lateral ends overlap a lateral end of an adjacent metal plate body, wherein the plurality of the metal plate bodies are configured for forming a closed perimeter of a geometrical shape having an open interior and wherein the integrated planar fins of each metal plate body extends away from the perimeter of the closed geometric shape along the plane of the planar fin, wherein each planar fin has a thickness substantially the same as a thickness of the portion of the metal plate body forming the closed perimeter of the geometrical shape, and wherein each planar fin extends substantially along a single plane from the perimeter of the closed geometric shape.
- James Tappe, a co-inventor of the parent application, helped develop one aspect of this disclosure in which the metal foundation bodies are assembled together without welding wherein the fins are part of the metal foundation body. The bodies of the metal foundation of the disclosed invention are assembled manually via the integrated fins by mechanical fastening. The metal foundations of the invention can either be a perimeter geometric shape, a radial geometric shape or if the job requires, both shaped foundations can be combined/used in conjunction with one another. The mechanical fastening mechanism in this non-welded embodiment can be any known in the field including, but not limited to Huck Bolts, rivets, clips, bolts, studs and clamps. The advantage of this non-welded aspect of the invention is that it only requires manual assembly and not welding. The manual assembly can be done by persons generally familiar with the construction field and no special equipment other than that necessary for mechanical fastening is needed. Because the metal foundations according to this aspect of the invention are manually assembled, they are not a health hazard and they are more environmentally friendly than welded metal foundations.
- With the disclosed invention there is virtually no limitations on size and shape for a metal foundation, the design can be easily adapt to any engineering specification. The metal foundations of the disclosed invention can be pre-assembled and transported to the worksite for installation or they can be assembled onsite.
- The features that characterize the present invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims which are part of this disclosure. These and other features of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects obtained by its use will be more fully understood from the following detailed description taken together with the associated figures.

FIG. 1A is a top plan view, partially exploded, of one embodiment of a metal plate foundation with integral planar fins according to one aspect of the invention wherein an octagonal shape metal plate foundation is disclosed. At the ends ofbody 1 arelong fins 3 andshort fins 4. In one aspect, the individual bodies are assembled together byfasteners 2. However because the metal foundations of the disclosed invention is assembled out of bodies with integrated fins, the metal foundations can be any practical shape necessary; from a hexagon shape for a smaller foundation, to a virtually limitless number of sides to accommodate larger foundation designs. The size of the angle in thebody 1 is dependent on the size of the foundation and the number of bodies necessary to accommodate the specific size. Larger foundations generally require more sides which increases the number of bodies necessary. The more bodies that are necessary the more obtuse can be the angle or the angle can be eliminated in favor of an arc to accommodate cylindrical designs. - While
FIG. 1A depicts bodies with short fins as well as long fins which lower the cost of the bodies, the invention also contemplates exclusively using long fins. To assemble the metal foundation, the fins from separate bodies are joined. In one aspect this may be by a mechanical fastening such as Huck Bolts, rivets, clips, bolts, studs clamps or any other feasible mechanical connection known in the art.

When assembled, each of the formed ends 7 offins 6 adjoin with thecentral end 11 offin 9 to form a geometrically triangular radial metal foundation with three fins. The invention also contemplates the use of greater than three fins in a radial metal plate foundation. The fins are adjoined by any suitable method, including in one aspect of the invention by Huck Bolts, rivets, clips, bolts, studs clamps or any feasible method known in the art. - The invention also contemplates metal plate foundations using a combination of both the perimeter and radial geometric designs. Radial geometric foundations can be any number of fins as long as they match the segments of the perimeter foundation bodies. For instance, a three fin radial foundation such as that depicted in
FIG. 2B will match any perimeter body shape that is divisible by three as shown by the preferred embodiments depicted inFIGS. 3A-C and a four point radial foundation assembled with onlystraight fins 9 and fastening means 13 will match any perimeter body shape divisible by four as shown by the preferred embodiments depicted inFIGS. 3D-F .

A four point radial foundation is shown in use with an eight sided foundation inFIG. 3d , a twelve sided foundation inFIG. 3e and a four sided foundation depicted inFIG. 3f . These designs give a very strong and supportive foundation. These are some of the preferred embodiments; the invention is flexible that the pieces can be assembled in any feasible shape needed for a specific project. The fins of the radial metal foundation embodiments connect via the fins of the perimeter metal foundations by any suitable fashion, including mechanical devices such as Huck Bolts, rivets, clips, bolts, studs clamps or any feasible method known in the art. - The disclosed invention allows for a lot of flexibility in engineering designs for foundations.
