Prefabricated building systems
First Claim
1. A building structure formed from transportable metal prefabricated panel frame sections, said building structure comprising:
- a plurality of substantially planar frame assemblies, each said frame assembly being formed from a plurality of substantially identical panel frame sections including frame side members having upper and lower ends, said panel frame sections being arranged in each of said frame assemblies in substantially coplanar juxtaposition with the frame side members of adjacent panel frame sections; and
a plurality of joining members located respectively between adjacent frame side members proximate at least one of said upper and said lower ends thereof and fastened thereto for rigidly fastening said adjacent frame sides members to one another to thereby rigidly fasten juxtaposed panel frame sections to one another to form a frame assembly, such said joining member extending longitudinally beyond said upper or said lower end of said frame side members for interconnecting said frame assembly to another frame assembly by fastening to the upper or lower end of respective adjacent side frame members of juxtaposed panel frame sections in said another frame assembly;
wherein said joining members are formed with threaded apertures therethrough, each said threaded aperture having a length enabling operative securement thereto of opposing connecting bolts inserted from each end of the aperture.

Abstract
A building structure formed from transportable prefabricated panel frame section is disclosed. The building structure includes wall and/or floor and/or roof frames. Each wall frame is formed from a plurality of similar wall panel frame sections having frame side members. The wall panel frame sections are arranged in the wall frame with the frame side members of adjacent wall panel frame sections spaced apart. A joining member is located between adjacent frame side members and rigidly fastens the frame side members to one another. Each joining member extends vertically beyond the side frame members for interconnecting the side frame members therebelow to a floor frame and/or a roof frame and/or another wall frame thereabove.

5. A building structure formed from transportable metal prefabricated panel frame sections, said building structure comprising:
-
a plurality of substantially planar frame assemblies, each said frame assembly being formed from a plurality of substantially identical panel frame sections including frame side members having upper and lower ends, said panel frame sections being arranged in each of said frame assemblies in substantially coplanar juxtaposition with the frame side members of adjacent panel frame sections; and a plurality of joining members located respectively between adjacent frame side members proximate at least one of said upper and said lower ends thereof and fastened thereto for rigidly fastening said adjacent frame sides members to one another to thereby rigidly fasten juxtaposed panel frame sections to one another to form a frame assembly, such said Joining member extending longitudinally beyond said upper or said lower end of said frame side members for interconnecting said frame assembly to another frame assembly by fastening to the upper or lower end of respective adjacent side frame members of juxtaposed panel frame sections in said another frame assembly, wherein said joining members are plate-like members to which each of the adjacent panel frame sections are mechanically fastened, wherein said plate-like members are formed with threaded apertures therethrough, each said threaded aperture having a length enabling operative securement thereto of opposing connecting bolts inserted from each end of the aperture. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
