CA 2079805

A two-part clamping assembly (10) and method for applying the clamping assembly (10) to intersecting I-beams is disclosed. The clamping assembly (10) is particularly beneficial at uniting the undercarriage I-beams (30) of a mobile dwelling to intersectingly smaller I-beams (20) of an auxiliary support system, during moderate and/or severe seismic disturbances. The clamping assembly (10) includes a two-part connector designed to tightly engage the upper flange of the lower and smaller I-beam (20) in such a manner that a clamp-lip (2) horizontally protrudes over and is parallel to the bottom flange of the upper undercarriage I-beam. (30). The clamp-lip (2) is engaged at the bottom flange to the undercarriage I-beam (30), in the event of an earthquake, enabling the undercarriage I-beams (30) to pickup the auxiliary support system. At the cessation of quake conditions, the undercarriage I-beams (30) are reposited to the I-beam (20) of the auxiliary and emergency support system. The clamping assembly (10), thus, serves to prevent the mobile dwelling from shifting or falling off its pier support system during seismic tremors.

Dispositif de fixation en deux parties (10) et méthode d'application du dispositif de fixation (10) à deux poutres en I entrecroisées. Le dispositif de fixation (10) est particulièrement utile pour unir les poutres en I du châssis porteur (30) d'une maison mobile aux poutres en I entrecroisées plus petites (20) d'un système de soutien auxiliaire, pendant les secousses sismiques modérées et/ou graves. Le dispositif de fixation (10) comprend un connecteur en deux parties conçu de manière à serrer solidement l'aile supérieure de la poutre en I inférieure plus petite (20) de telle sorte qu'un bord du dispositif de fixation (2) dépasse horizontalement de l'aile inférieure de la poutre en I supérieure du châssis de fixation (30) et lui soit parallèle. Le bord du dispositif de fixation (2) est engagé sur l'aile inférieure de la poutre en I du châssis porteur (30), ce qui, en cas de tremblement de terre, permet aux poutres en I du châssis porteur (30) de retenir le système de soutien auxiliaire. A la fin des secousses, les poutres en I du châssis porteur (30) se replacent sur la poutre en I des systèmes de soutien auxiliaire et d'urgence. Le dispositif de serrage (10) sert donc à empêcher la maison mobile de bouger sur son système de support ou d'en tomber pendant les secousses sismiques.
