20090241444 | WALL PANEL SYSTEM WITH SNAP CLIP - A wall panel system includes a mounting bracket with a longitudinally extending first channel and a longitudinally extending second channel, and a wall panel with a perpendicular flange around its periphery. The wall panel is attached to the mounting bracket by a clip attached to the wall panel adjacent the flange, the clip having an engaging element with a first portion and a second portion. The clip is secured to the mounting bracket by either the first portion of the engaging element mating with the second channel, or the second portion mating with the first channel. The first portion of the engaging element and the second channel each include a protrusion, the interaction of the protrusions causing the first portion to snap into the second channel. | 10-01-2009 |
20090241451 | WALL PANEL SYSTEM WITH INSERT - A wall panel system including a mounting bracket, a wall panel, and a clip attached to the wall panel, the clip having an engaging element that secures it to the mounting bracket. The wall panel system also includes a slot in the clip facing outwardly from the wall panel, a spline slidably positioned in the slot of the clip, and a sealing insert positioned between the mounting bracket and the spline. The sealing insert may be in the shape of an X, and may be made from polypropylene foam. The sealing insert may also have a gasket tape on one side to provide an improved seal. | 10-01-2009 |
20090241455 | WALL PANEL SYSTEM WITH HOOK-ON CLIP - A wall panel system includes at least one wall panel, each edge of the panel having a flange. At least one flange, and preferably two opposing flanges, have at least one slot therein. Each slot is mated with a clip having a unique shape that allows the clip to be inserted into the slot and secured therein without the use of fasteners and strictly due to its shape. The clip may then be attached to a building surface or intermediary mounting apparatus by a fastener to secure the wall panel thereto. | 10-01-2009 |
20090241456 | WALL PANEL SYSTEM WITH SNAP-ON CLIP - A wall panel system includes at least one wall panel, each edge of the panel having a flange. At least one flange, and preferably two opposing flanges, have at least one slot therein. Each slot is mated with a clip having two extensions laterally spaced from one another, one of said extensions having a latch member protruding in a direction toward the other of said extensions, such that the clip is secured to the flange by virtue of the latch member mating with the slot. The clip may then be attached to a building surface or intermediary mounting apparatus by a fastener to secure the wall panel thereto. | 10-01-2009 |
20090272055 | WALL PANEL SYSTEM - A wall panel system includes a mounting bracket with a longitudinally extending first channel and a longitudinally extending second channel, and a wall panel with a perpendicular flange around its periphery. The wall panel is attached to the mounting bracket by a clip attached to the wall panel adjacent the flange, the clip having an engaging element with a first portion and a second portion. The clip is secured to the mounting bracket by either the first portion of the engaging element mating with the second channel, or the second portion mating with the first channel. The first portion of the engaging element and the second channel each include a protrusion, the interaction of the protrusions causing the first portion to snap into the second channel. | 11-05-2009 |
20100050568 | AESTHETIC COVER ASSEMBLY FOR A BUILDING STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING SAME - A cover segment for an aesthetic cover assembly includes a cover wall and at least one joint element. An aesthetic cover assembly includes two or more cover segments. The joint elements of the cover segments have a common profile and are secured along the corresponding cover wall in an opposite facing relation. A method of assembling a cover assembly is also included. | 03-04-2010 |
20100146901 | ALIGNMENT PIN FOR AESTHETIC COVER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - An aesthetic cover assembly includes first mounting portion of a cover wall for concealing a portion of a building structure that is secured to the building structure. An alignment pin is secured on one of the first mounting portions and the building structure. The alignment pin supports a second mounting portion of a cover wall for concealing a portion of the building structure. A method of installing an aesthetic cover assembly is also included. | 06-17-2010 |
20100254011 | REFLECTIVE LIGHT SHELF, SYSTEM AND METHOD - A reflective light shelf includes a first wall including an outer surface exhibiting a combination of diffuse and spectral reflectivity adapted to reflect light into the associated building structure and an inner surface disposed opposite the outer surface. A second wall includes an inner surface disposed in facing relation to the inner surface of the first wall and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The second wall is disposed in spaced relation to the first wall such that a shelf height is defined between the outer surfaces of the first and second walls. An inner-core structure is operatively connected between the inner surfaces of the first and second walls. A reflective light shelf system and method are also included. | 10-07-2010 |
20100263298 | SUNSCREEN AND MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY - A mounting bracket assembly is included that is capable of securing an associated rigid sunscreen on an associated building structure. The mounting bracket assembly can include a first bracket that is adapted for securement on the associated building structure and a second bracket that is adapted for securement on the associated rigid sunscreen. The first bracket can include a first interengaging feature, and the second bracket can include a second interengaging feature that is cooperative with the first interengaging feature of the first bracket. A sunscreen and mounting bracket assembly, a sunscreen and mounting bracket kit, and a method of assembly are also included. | 10-21-2010 |
20120247049 | WALL PANEL, WALL PANEL KIT AND METHOD - A wall panel that can be secured along an associated wall structure is formed from a thin-walled material having a substantially uniform thickness. The wall panel includes first and second longitudinally-extending edges, and first, second and third wall portions. A first interengagement feature extends lengthwise along the first wall portion, and a second interengagement feature extends lengthwise along the second wall portion. The first and second interengagement features are dimensioned to cooperate with one another to operatively provide a non-visual indicator of a positive interengagement between two wall panels. A wall panel kit and a method of manufacture are also included. | 10-04-2012 |
20120247052 | MOUNTING CLIP AND WALL PANEL ASSEMBLY AS WELL AS KIT AND METHOD - A mounting clip and wall panel assembly is dimensioned for securement along an associated wall structure.
