Description

Feb. 23, 1965 J. B. DUNNINGTON BASE CHANNEL-PANEL FooTING STRUCTURE Filed Aug. 3. 1961 This invention relates to footing mountings for panels and refers more particularly to `a base channel-post footp ing cooperating construction for wall panels of a building.
This application isa continuation-in-part of my application Serial No'.` 49,265, led August 12, 1960, for Joint Assembly for Wall Panels, now Patent No. 3,102,612. y
A principal area of difficulty in any prefabricated building having outside walls made up o f a plurality of panels placed in side by side coplanar relationship is the obtaining of a satisfactory panel footing-sill connection. Such a panel footing-sill connection must be strong and rugged to provide long time support under load. It must be simple and easy to install and'to engage the parts thereof. The members making up the footing preferably are cheap and relatively easy to mass produce in quantity, yet accurately formed to provide precise'panelaligning engagement. It is very desirable to provide members i 3,170,269 Patented Feb.- 23,1965
gli.'
i ing material, facedvonopposite sides with. sheet metal y ment being seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 and one side frame which will provide very precise-vertical, lateral and inout alignment of the panelssupported thereby. Means preferably should be provided which will tend to reduce and control any tendency to forward or rearward leanu ing or other movement of the panels supported thereby. It `wouldalso bepreferable .if the panel array could first be assembledin horizontal position and then moved upwardly4 into a Vertical .position and simultaneously into engagement with the panel foot support. VAny means y locking the partsrofr` the footing assemblytogether should be readily accessible for removal or repair of any of the panel footing members or the panels themselves. such engagingV means for the panel footing parts additionally preferably are protected against iujuryor darn age whereby to prevent inadvertent locking of the panels to the footing. Finally, the elements of the assembly should t very precisely and closely together whereby to provide precise alignment of the panels.
The objects of the invention are to achieve the abovelisted goals, .and desirable featuresof apanel footing l Other and further objects of the invention will appear in the course of the following description.`
In the drawings, which form a part of the instant specification and are to be read in conjunction ltherewith, an embodiment of the invention is shown and, in the various views, like numerals are employed to indicate like parts.
FIG. 1 is a perspective View from above of the subject panel footing engagement with portions of the panel assemblies themselves shown to better illustrate the cooperative footing construction, parts cut away in section to -better illustrate the various elements.
FlG. 2 is a cross-sectional view through the inventive panel footing assembly, the unit shown in full lines in assembled position and 'in dotted lines in preassembly position.
Referring to the drawings, in FIGS. l and 2 there are shown portions of typical panel type wall members in which the jointsrbetween adjacent panels are formed in the manner disclosed in my application Serial No. 49,265, supra. The individual panel members are typically of rectangular shape. Such panel is generally constructed of a central core lila which may be of a conventional honeycomb construction of suitable rigid thermal insulatskins 10b and ltlcfor other conventional -facing mal terial. The edges of each panel have secured thereto and running lengthwise thereof a `frame element in the form of an outwardly opened channel, the lower frame ele'- of each panel element being seen alsoV in FIG. 1. .It should be vunderstood `that the said frame elements form in any suitable fashion. n I.
The panels are mounted in coplanar relationship in a base channell 4setV in and bolted to thefoundation of the building.4 "The lower frame element of each panel seats therein' in assembled position. 'I'h`e. upp,er end of the panel is receivedin an upper retainer structure (not shown) whichwforms` a part of the structural framework of the building. Bolts may be `employed to secure the panels in place. The particular panels shown and des scribed herein have been selected solely for the purpose of illustrating the invention and consequently the invention hereafter to be set forth is not to beconstrued as limited to application Yto the illustrated panels' alone,
The building foundation is generally designated 20 and has a trough or channel formed'in the upper'front edge thereof having a rearor innerwall 21 and a lower wall 22. ln describing parts'of the assembly the spatial orientation employed will berthe full' line assembled portions of FIGS. l and 2. A 'base channel having a rear or inner Vvertical wall 23, a horizontal bottom wall 24, a sho'rtupwardly extending front or outer flange 25V and a horizontal platform flange 26 attached to the free end of thelatter is bolted by a plurality of bolts 27 and nut 23` to. the said foundation. The footing extrusion, which' is the circumferential. edge boundary of the panel element Vas seen in FIG. 1, comprises a vertical rear or inner wall 2.9 havingahorizontal base flange 3i) continuously fixed thereto, a top wall 31 horizontal in asse-mbled orientation, and a front or' outer face or leg` 32 vertical in orientation, the latter having a horizontal footing flange 33 analogous tolflange 3@ Xed to the lower free end thereof. Thus, this member, in crossr section as seen in FIG. 2,'looks liketwo erect symmetrical L- shaped members, Aconnected at the top of the `L-legs by vaqhvorizontal member 3l. The width of thefront horizontal flange 33 or L-baseleg is preferably equal to. or slightly greater'than the height of frontlirange 25 of the base channel for reasons to -be described. Legs 29 and 32 place wall 31 in linewith zthe top of wall 23. y As previously mentioned, the panel construction proper an integral part ofthe panel, beingA connected thereto comprises `front and rear facing sheets 10b and 16e spaced-- above a base flange 36 by strips 37 andv 38. A downy i wardly facing front flange 39 overlies the front face 32 of the panel footing extrusion. Members 31 and 36 of the panel support extrusion and the panel footing extrusion may be bolted in face-to-face relationship las shown at 40. As previously mentioned, the detailed structure of the panel itself or its parts is not critical to the invention. The panel footing extrusion illustrated, however, is a preferred structured form and important part of the footing assembly, as is the base channel.
Openings 41 are threaded at regular intervals through the front flange 25 of the base channel to receive threaded screws or bolts 42.
In assembly of the panel, after base channel 23, etc. is bolted to the foundation, the panel `base seal extrusion 36, etc. is bolted to the panel footing extrusion 3l, etc. The lower ends of the panel front and rear sheets leb and lila are then fitted into the U-members 34 and 35 to receive same and secured therein by any suitable conventional means such as screws,rbrazing, fasteners, etc. This assembly, then, may be positioned in that alignment shown in dotted lines in FIG. 2, namely,
in horizontal relationship with the front I -leg (32 and 3.3) of the footing extrusion overlying the front anges 26 and 25 of the base channel. The panel assembly mayV then 'befmoved in a 90 arc from the dotted line showing of FIG. 2, counterclocliwise in the View, to the full line position of the same view. The L-leg base 30 prevents the rear leg 29 of the footing extrusion from catching or sticking on the foundation or rear wall 23 of the base channel. It also provides a solid seat in th assembled position for the rear panel face. Once in the assembled position of HG. 2, the screws 42 may be screwed in from the dotted line yto tliefull line position of FIG. 2 whereby to'force the rear wall 29 ofthe footing extrusion against the rear wall 23 of the base channel whereby to provide a tight t therebetween.
A plurality of weep holes 43 may be provided in the base channel to drain same prior to wall unit erection. The front L-leg base 33 preferably does not block same whereby to provide continuous drainage thereafter.
Screws 42 may be backed off at any desired time to remove any individual panel or part for replacement or repair of any part of the footing or panel structure itself.
From the foregoing it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all of the ends and objects hereinabove set forth together with other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the structure.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility Vand may be employed without reference to other features and subcornbinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
As many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein setr forth or shown in the `accompanying drawings is to be interpreted `as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
