BUILDING PANEL CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector assembly is used to secure a building panel (e.g., building panel) to a building structural element. The connector assembly can be formed of structural materials to effectively transfer load between the panel and the structural element. The connector assembly can include one or more insulating materials to reduce heat transfer between the panel and the structural element.

主权项

1. A shear connector assembly for attaching a structural member to a building panel; the connector assembly comprising:
a connector strip comprising:
a first connector strip face;a second connector strip face opposite the first connector strip face;one or more apertures extending through the connector strip in a direction perpendicular to the first connector strip face; andone or more hooked members extending from the first connector strip face; an insulative strip comprising:
a first insulative strip face in contact with at least a portion of the second connector strip face;a second insulative strip face opposite the first insulation strip face;one or more apertures extending through the insulative strip in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first insulation strip face; andone or more support members located within the insulative strip apertures, the one or more support members comprising:
a first support face in contact with at least a portion of the second connector strip face;a second support face opposite the first support face; anda thickness in a direction perpendicular to the first support face; and one or more fasteners configured to connect the connector assembly to the structural member, the one or more fasteners extending through the one or more apertures of the connector strip such that at least a portion of the second support face contacts the structural member.
