Abstract

The present invention relates to the construction arts, in particular a new implementation for a structural support member or header for bearing the load of large spans of a floor, wall section above a window, door or garage door. The support member has an insulation which, when used with a steel beam, serves to increase the insulation value. Further the header is modular and can be easily implemented into a variety of architectural structures.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 31 December 2008 (31.12.2008)
1. A preformed modularized structural header for forming header structures for framing said header comprising:
(i) an elongated stee! beam comprising a web portion and at least one flange portion being substantially encased in a generally elongated orthogonal enclosure;
(ii) said generally elongated orthogonal enclosure comprising; a first vertical member; a second vertical member spaced from and substantially parallel to said first vertical member said vertical members being oriented with respect to said web portion of said beam, each said first and second vertical members further comprising a first and a second elongated edges and, a first horizontal member; a second horizontal member spaced from and substantially parallel to said first horizontal member; at least one of said horizontal members being oriented with respect to the flange portion of said beam, said first and second horizontal members further comprising a first and a second elongated edges and, said vertical members and said horizontal members arranged such that said vertical members and said horizontal members are rigidly connected in a predetermined way along the elongated edges so as to form an elongated orthogonal enclosure for encasing the beam. ,
2, A modularized structural header in accordance with claim % wherein said vertical and said horizontal members comprise at least one of; wood, oriented strand board (osb), plywood, and hardboard being approximately K to 2 inches in thickness. 18
3. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 1 wherein a void is formed between the web portion of the beam and the vertical members, said void being filled with an insulating material comprising at least one of: rock wool, fiberglass, Styrofoam, or polyυrethane foam.
4. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 3 wherein said insulating material comprises: open cell, low density, non-02one depleting polyurethane foam.
5. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 3 wherein said beam has an insulating value of approximately R20.
6. (cancelled)
7. (cancelled)
S. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 3 wherein said beam comprises two flange portions being arranged on substantially opposite sides of the web portion.
9. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 8 wherein the flange portion is connected with said horizontal members such that said flange portion substantially deflects forces created by expanding the insulating material,
10. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 8 wherein said vertical members interact with said flange portion to provide support to the vertical member.
11. A modularized structural header, in accordance with claim 10 wherein said vertical members further comprises at least one of; a cleat, a shelf, a projection, a ledge, a sill, a step, or a ridge. 19
12. A modularized structural header in accordance with claim 9 wherein said rigid connection comprises at least one of: dado's, rabbets, lock joints, spline joints, tongue and groove, or mortise and tenon joinery.
13. A method for making a header comprising the steps of;
(i) providing an elongated metal beam comprising a web portion rigidly connected with a plurality of flange portions;
(ii) encasing the structural beam with an elongated orthogonal enclosure comprising; a plurality of elongated vertical members having a nailing or attaching surface; a plurality of elongated horizontal members; said elongated vertical members having a plurality of vertical edges, said elongated horizontal members having a plurality of horizontal edges; said vertical edges being securely connected with said horizontal edges in a predetermined fashion;
(Hi) fitting the elongated orthogonal structure to substantially form a tight fit with the elongated metal beam such that a void is formed between the web portion of the beam and the elongated vertical members ;
(iv) filling the void with insulation.
14. The method for making a header in accordance with Claim 13 wherein the elongated metal beam further comprises a steel I beam.
15. The method for making a header in accordance with Claim 13 wherein the connection between the vertical edges and the horizontal edges comprises at least one of: fasteners, nails, screws, staples, dados, rabbets, lock joints, spline joints, tongue and groove or mortise and tenon. 20
16. The method for making a header in accordance with Claim 13 wherein the insulation comprises open cell polyurethane foam.
17. The method for making a header in accordance with Claim 13 wherein vertical member comprises the at least one of; a cleat, a shelf, a projection, a ledge, a sill, a step, or a ridge for engaging with the flange portion of the beam.
IS. A preformed modularized structural header for forming header structures for framing said beam comprising:
(i) a steel beam comprising a web portion and a plurality of flange portions;
(ii) a substantially wooden box like structure substantially enclosing the steel beam comprising; a first vertical member; a second vertical member spaced from and substantially parallel to said first vertical member; said vertical members comprising a plurality of injection points at predetermined intervals along the members for receiving an insulating material, each said first and said second vertical member comprising a cleat; each said first and said second vertical members further comprising a first and second elongated edges and; a first horizontal member; a second horizontal member spaced from and substantially parallel to said first horizontal member; said first and second horizontal members further comprising a first and a second elongated edges and; said vertical members and said horizontal members arranged such that said vertical members and said horizontal members are rigidly connected in a predetermined 21 way along the elongated edges so as to form an elongated orthogonal enclosure having a void, (iii) the elongated orthogonal structure substantially fitting with the steel beam such that the flange portions interact with the vertical members to provide support to the vertical members, (iv) a foam insulating material being added through said injection points in such a way as to substantially fill said void with the insulating material.
