9 Claims.
Our invention relates to beams, girders, columns and the like and particularly to devices .of this character to be constructed of sheet metal.
The object of our invention is to decrease the quantity of metal and consequently, the weight and cost of a structure of the above-indicated character, to facilitate its manufacture and assembly, to especially adapt it to spot welding, to
sideration of the amount and kind of material employed, to render it more effective in operation and to have it better cooperate with appurtenant parts, to have it simple and durable in construction, and to render it an improvement generally in its particular service.
More specifically, the invention relates to a box-section beam in which the webs are improved by constructing them of thin gauge sheetmetal and of corrugated contour, the chords are each locally or separately of box section, constituting sub-box sections of the box-section beam itself, edge flanges of novel character are provided on the chords and other improvements are eliected.
Figure '1, of the accompanying drawing, is a perspective view of a beam or girder constructed in accordance with my invention.
I Fig. 2 is a sectional view, taken normal to a horizontal plane, through a portion of the structure of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view, similar to the top front portion of Fig. 1, of a modified form 01. the structure thereof, and
modified form of corrugated web structure.
Fig. 5 is a transverse section of a modification in which the web members are longitudinally corrugated.
: Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the webs are preferably constructed from thin-gauge stainless sheet steel, although not so limited, and of corrugated, ribbed or sinusoidal form having relatively sharply intersecting walls 8, 9 and ill, whereby to provide flat, relatively-great, surface areas for contact with the chords, and spaces between the walls 9 suflicient to receive welding tools.
This shape is easy to provide, by a stamping or continuous rolling process, from simple, flat 0 sheets and constitutes a multiple, or series, truss 1 structure of substantially the same strength as a flat sheet of the same material and of greater weight. Where large beams, or several of them, are to be employed in the same structure, it is 5 readily seen that the aggregate saving is very great. I
The chords comprise inner plates, of substantially channel-section, having flat sides I! abutting the walls 8 of the webs, whereby they may be spot welded thereto, as indicated at,
give it substantially maximum strength in con- Fig. 4 isa view, similar to Fig. 2, showing aconstitute strengthening extensions 22 which also facilitate welding in vertical planes or at right angles to the main flange portions The inner and outer plates of the chords render the latter of box-section of sumcient distance between all of its inner syrfaces to accommodate constructing tools, such as spot-welding tongs. In the form of our invention shown in Fig. 4. the structure is the same as those above described, except that the walls 8 are of greaterarea and the walls 9 are sloped together at sharper angles 1 to substantially eliminate the walls it of the devices of the other figures, or, at least, to reduce them to short sections M of rounded or other contour.
The modification shown in Fig. 5 is similar to that of Figs. 1 and 2 except that the webs are longitudinally corrugated, and reinforced by vertical struts 2d of outwardly facing channel section, secured by spot welds 25 to the outwardly projecting ribs of the web and to the side margins 26 to which the chord is secured.
The composite multi-plate chords are preferably of relatively thin-gauge sheet-metal but, by reason of the box sections and extended surface areas thereof, they conduce to a great reduction in weight, in consideration of necessary strength, and facilitate welding to a high degree.
The structure is of extremely easy fabrication, is neat and compact, is easy to transport, is proof against thermal expansion and other weather effects and has other advantages over beam structures heretofore suggested.
While we have shown and described particular forms of our invention, changes may be effected therein without departing from" c spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in he appended claims.
