Title: Support structure with fire protection
Inventor: TOBIAS MICHAEL
IPC: A62C35/60
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a fire-protected support structure which can be used for any type of structural works consisting of steel, a metal lightweight construction or wood, regardless of its functional purpose. The aim of the invention is to develop a fire-protected support structure which has good, long-lasting resistance to overheating and softening while being inexpensive to assemble and maintain and which has reasonable extinguishing requirements.  The resistance to overheating should already be effective in the initial stages of a fire and should be immediately effective in any given area of the support structure, regardless of the material of which the latter consists and its properties. According to the invention, the support structure is designed according to the static requirements determined by its constructional purpose alone. Its fire resistance is provided by water discharging devices in the form of spray nozzles (6) which are located along at least a part of the support structure and are designed in such a way that the water is discharged from them in the form of finely dispersed spray droplets or aerosol, hereafter referred to as mist. The edge areas of the exit cones (7) of adjacent spray nozzles (6) penetrate each other and in the event of a fire, the exit cones (7) of all spray nozzles (6) activated by the fire warning envelope all parts of the support structure within their range in mist.

Patent CA-2420718-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCDUFF PIERRE
IPC: F16B13/00
Filed: 2003-03-04
Abstract: A convertible toggle hook for friable walls comprises a fixture for holding an article to a wall and an anchor extending from the fixture. The anchor is adapted when rotated to engagingly extend into a friable wall for securing the fixture to the wall. The fixture is selectively separable via frangible connection elements from the anchor for allowing the fixture to be used alone with an appropriate fastener suitable for installing the fixture to a rigid structure, such as wooden components. The anchor can take different forms as long as it can be mounted to a friable wall.      Typically, a space is defined between the fixture and a proximal end of the anchor with this space being bridged by the frangible connection elements. The fixture defines an opening adapted to be engaged by a screwdriver bit for mounting the toggle hook to the wall. The method calls for determining the nature of the vertical support to which the toggle hook is to be mounted and then, for a friable wall, installing the toggle hook thereto using the anchor; or, for a more solid vertical support such as wood, separating the fixture from the anchor and installing the fixture to the solid vertical support via an appropriate fastener.
