Benefits of technology

This patent describes a durable and fire-resistant balcony that uses fiber reinforced plastic. This material is stronger than traditional wood and resistant to rot. This balcony is also lighter than traditional wooden balconies, reducing installation time and expense. It can be attached to building load-bearing structures and does not require scaffolding or temporary guard rails. The balcony is made of a single plate and a supporting structure, which allows for flexibility in design.

Problems solved by technology

For example, while a balcony of wood frame and plywood, covered with a skin of fiberglass, could be used for attachment to beams, its wood core could be subject to rot.

Embodiment Construction

[0040]FIGS. 1A to 1C show a perspective view, a side sectional view, and a sectional end view, of a balcony 2 in cantilevered arrangement. The balcony 2 is attached to two load-bearing structures, such as two beams 4 or other interface, of a building 6. The balcony 2 has two plates such as a bottom plate 8 and a top plate 10, a supporting structure 12, and an anchor 14. The supporting structure 12 is attached to the two plates 8, 10 and provides rigidity to the balcony 2.

[0041]The anchor 14 is associated with two opposite sides 16 of the balcony 2 and configured to attach the two sides 16 of the balcony 2 to the two beams 4 of the building6. The anchor 14 comprises surfaces of the two sides 16 of the balcony 2 that are faced so as to be simply supported at its ends by the two beams 4 of the building 6. The anchor 14 has ledgers 18 for mounting to the two beams 4 to simply support the surfaces 16. The ledgers 18 are attached to the beams 4 by nails or other means. Hardware located in...

Abstract

A balcony assembly for attachment to two load-bearing structures of a building is provided. The balcony assembly has a pair of plates and a supporting structure. The supporting structure is attached to the plates and provides rigidity to the balcony assembly. An anchor is associated with two sides of the balcony assembly and configured to attach the sides of the balcony assembly to the load-bearing structures of the building. The plates and the supporting structure are made of fiber reinforced plastic. The balcony assembly is useful in improving durability and installation time.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 040,673, entitled “Multiple Support Balcony”, and filed on Aug. 22, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of structural engineering. In particular, the invention relates to the construction of multiple support balconies for buildings.BACKGROUND[0003]In certain buildings, balconies that are supported by multiple supports, such as a pair of structural beams, are built-in-place from lumber. The balconies are then covered with a cladding or waterproof membrane to prevent water or other objects from dropping through the balcony or to the neighbor below. However, such balconies are subject to premature failure. When the membrane becomes compromised, for example because the membrane is torn, the membrane can admit moisture and make the underlyi...
