Abstract
Description
Claims (18)
- A structural frame member (10) having two parts (12, 14) which can be drawn towards each other linearly to trap an item between spaced formations (26, 42) extending from sides (18, 36) of said parts, characterised in that said two parts (12, 14) are connected by at least one collapsible web (16), which remains connected to said two parts, so that the two parts remain connected to each other through said at least one collapsible web whether collapsed or not collapsed.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 1, wherein said parts (12, 14) have opposed sides (18, 36) and spaced formations (26, 42) on both sides, whereby items may be trapped on both sides of the frame member.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the two parts (12, 14) are connected by a pair of collapsible webs (16).
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein one part (14) has an end formation that fits within the other part (12) when they are collapsed together, said parts overlapping to a limited extent.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 2, 3 or 4, wherein the spaced extending formations (26, 42) are flanges.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 5, wherein the flanges (26, 42) are L-shaped.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 5 or 6, wherein the flanges (26, 42) have a gripping surface.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 5, wherein abutting faces of the flanges are provided with sealing means (70, 84).
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 8, wherein shaped slots (68) of the flanges retain flexible sealing strips (70).
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first part is a major part (12) having side walls (18) connected by a pair of spaced webs (20, 22) inwards from ends of the side walls and the second part is a minor part (14) having side walls (36) connected by a web (38), the two parts being connected by a pair of collapsible webs (16) each between a pair of aligned sides of each part, the spaced formations of each part being outwardly extending formations (26, 42), whereby in an uncollapsed state items (50) can be positioned against opposite sides of the member and in a collapsed state trapped between the outwardly extending formations of the major and minor parts of the member.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 10, wherein two parts (12, 14) of the structural member each have means (28) for retaining a cover strip (56) and having a cover strip for extending either side of the structural member to cover joins with trapped items.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 11, wherein inner surfaces of the sides (18, 36) of the structural frame member have formations (28) thereon for retaining cooperating formations (58) of cover strips (56).
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 11 or 12, wherein the cover strips (56) are single-walled.
- A structural frame member as claimed in claim 11, 12 or 13, wherein the cover strips are twin-walled.
- A structural frame member as claimed in any one of claims 11 to 14, wherein edges of the cover strips retain gasket material.
- A structural frame member as claimed in any one of claims 11 to 15, wherein edges of the cover strips have coextruded gasket material therealong.
- A structural frame member as claimed in any one of claims 10 to 16, wherein webs connecting side walls of the frame member are provided with screw ports (30,31).
- A glazed structure comprising at least a pair of structural frame members (10) as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 17 spaced apart having opposite sides of a window frame (50) trapped between the spaced formations (26,42) of each structural frame member in a collapsed state, whereby the window frame is held between the two structural frame members.
