Method And System For Mounting Building Wall Panels To Building Frames, Incorporating Mounting Means Elements With Two Degrees Of Motion Freedom
US Patent:
4905444, Mar 6, 1990
Filed:
Jun 12, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/364849
Inventors:
Robert I. Semaan - Omaha NE
Ezzat S. Semaan - Omaha NE
Ezzat S. Semaan - Omaha NE
Assignee:
Connection Specialties Inc. - Omaha NE
International Classification:
F04B 141
US Classification:
52710
Abstract:
A system for mounting building wall panels to building frames, and a method of its use, are disclosed. The system is comprised of a multiplicity of insertional frames, at least some of which provide a mounting means element therein with two degrees of motion freedom, which insertional frames are secured to building wall panels. The system provides for quick, easy and economical mounting of building wall panels to building frames by construction personnel as the mounting means elements in the insertional frames can be adjusted to match the location of the corresponding mounting means on a building frame. The invention also, most importantly, provides protection against the development of potentially damaging stresses in building wall panels mounted to a building frame as a result of seismic activity, thermal expansion, wind induced building shape changes etc.
Reinforcement System For Poles
US Patent:
8191332, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
Sep 24, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/233976
Inventors:
Robert I. Semaan - Omaha NE, US
Roger I. Semaan - Omaha NE, US

Assignee:
American Tower Corporation - Boston MA
International Classification:
E04B 1/00
US Classification:
5274517, 52170, 52295, 52834, 52848, 174 45 R
Abstract:
A reinforcement system made of steel members, (e. g. , steel reinforcing rods, threaded rods or functionally equivalent steel members), closely positioned with respect to, or positioned in contact with, the exterior of straight, tapered, and/or pipe/stepped poles, such as wireless telecommunication poles. The method of use results in providing additional strength to the poles to enhance resistance against deflection caused by, for instance, wind forces and/or added weight resulting from mounting antennas thereto, enabling the placement of, for instance, more antenna arrays and other communication antennas thereon than is otherwise possible.
