Building system with integrated fastener cover and hinge assemblies
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11952833B1) discloses a building system that includes a frame with horizontal and vertical members, along with panels attachable to the frame. The innovation lies in the integrated fastener cover that can move from an open to a closed position, concealing fastener-receiving portions. This feature enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building system by hiding fasteners, providing a clean and seamless look. The frame can be preassembled as a pre-hung door, making installation easier and more efficient.
Furthermore, the building system includes a unique gusset assembly with a junction cover that extends above the panel's external face, giving the corner junction a seamless appearance when assembled. The junction cover, with a T-shaped cross-section, overlaps portions of the panel adjacent to the corner junction, ensuring a secure and visually appealing connection. This design innovation not only improves the structural integrity of the building system but also enhances its overall look, making it an attractive option for various construction projects.
