Housing construction system

摘要

A wall surfacing system for providing a secondary ceiling or wall covering structure adjacent a primary structure. The system provides a plurality of elongated structural support rails, each of these support rails have a coupling web with a bearing surface for attachment to the primary structure, a coupling mechanism, and a stringer portion integrally formed with and connecting the coupling web to the coupling mechanism. A plurality of generally planar surface panels are provided. Each panel has an integral interlocking member configured to mate with the coupling mechanism on the support rail. The elongated support rails are secured to primary structures, thereby extending the surface panels to form an aesthetically pleasing covered surface.

1. A construction kit for securing a secondary ceiling structure to a base member, the kit comprising:
a plurality of elongated structural support members, each said support member comprising a base coupling portion having first and second edges and a planar mounting surface therebetween, said mounting surface configured to fixedly attach to the base member, and at least one support member coupling mechanism integrally formed with and longitudinally extending a length of said support members; a plurality of substantially planar body structures, each said body structure having an interior major surface and an opposite exterior major surface; at least one outwardly facing body structure coupling mechanism integrally formed with said interior major surface of each of said body structures, extending substantially an entire length of each of said body structures, and configured to interlock with said support member coupling mechanism, thereby securing said body structures to said support members; said support member coupling mechanism extends substantially an entire length of said planar body structures and parallel to said outwardly facing body structure coupling mechanism; said support member coupling mechanism having two substantially parallel stringer members extending from said base member, said stringer members having first respective ends attached to said base coupling portion and second ends connected to a strip, whereby the base coupling portion, the stringer members and the strip form an enclosure; each body structure further comprising a supporting member cantileveringly coupled to and extending substantially perpendicular from each stringer member between the first and second ends of each respective stringer member, and a body member extending substantially perpendicular from an end of said support member, said stringer member, supporting surface and said body member forming a channel receiving said coupling mechanism; and an insulated panel member having a locking member configured to couple the panel to one of the channel members.
