Abstract

Deflection slide clip of two piece construction for use in curtain wall construction providing for horizontal support of a laterally loaded stud while it accommodates vertical slip of the primary frame.

Description

~ 6 ~ 3 DEFLECTION SLIDE CLIP

CROSS REFERENCES TO CO-PENDING APPLICATIONS
NONE.
BACKGROUND OF THE lNv~NllON
1. Field of the Invention - The present invention pertains to a deflection slide clip, and more particularly pertains to a deflection slide clip allowing for day-to-day vertical slip and for uneven floor or roof edge profile for the attachment of a laterally loaded curtain wall stud.
2. Description of the Prior Art - Prior art Traditional slide clips require the installation of continuous support angles which must be accurately installed to provide for a vertical plumb and aligned wall. At best this connection requires the installation of slotted adjustable angles which require field attachment after they are placed in final position. At worst the angle is attached out of position which requires the contractor to add short stud pieces to make the transition from stud to angle. Other clips do not provide the necessary offset required to accommodate the flange thickness of the stud and as a result, the clips are not installed flush to the surface of the support angle. As a result the welds or m~ch~n;cal fasteners are required to "bridge" the resulting gap and -- 2 t ~5~3 consequentially, their holding values are not as predictable as those made when surface to surface contact is maintained.
The present invention provides a deflection slide clip which accommodates for irregularities of the primary frame along the horizontal and which also provides for a flush and direct mounting to the stud web.

~ 2 1 65643 Sl~MMARY OF q'EIE lNV~;N'l'lON
The general purpose of the present invention is a deflection slide clip.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a deflection slide clip including an angle member secured by a rivet and spring washer through a slotted hole in one leg of the angle member to a plate member. A plate member having a raised central planar member allows for rivet head clearance and allows for flush mounting of planar members flanking the raised central planar member to a stud member.

~ 2 1 65643 D~r~TTT~n DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a deflection slide clip 10, herein referred to as the slide clip, including a configured plate member 12 and an angle member 14 each of heavy gauge metal construction, slideably and mutually secured by a large head rivet 16 and spring washer 18.
The angle member 14 includes a planar member 20 bent at and aligned at a right angle about bend axis 22 to a planar member 24.
The planar member 20 includes a vertically aligned slotted hole 26 and planar member 24 includes a plurality of holes 28a-28n suitable for attachment by various hardware means known to the art. Deformed stiffeners 30 and 32 align horizontally along and between planar member 20 and 24 to increase its lateral load carrying capabilities.
Deformed stiffeners 29 and 31 align horizontally along planar member 24 in close proximity to holes 28a and 28n for additional support in that region.
The plate member 12 includes a central planar area 34 also illustrated in FIG. 2 and upper and lower planar areas 36 and 38 respectively offset from the planar area 34 as also illustrated in FIG. 2. A plurality of attachment holes 40a-40n align about the plate member 12.

~ 2165643 FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of the slide clip 10 where all numerals correspond to those elements previously described.
Illustrated in particular is the offset 42 between the rear surface of the central planar area 34 and the rear surfaces of the upper and lower planar areas 36 and 38. The offset 42 provides for flush attachment of the planar area members 36 and 38 without interference by the small rivet head 44 to the stud member which is supported.
The rivet 16 aligns through and firmly against the spring washer 18, through the slotted hole 26, and through the central planar area 34 to provide tension and a nominal amount of friction between the plate member 12 and the angle member 14 while maintaining vertical slideability between the plate member 12 and the angle member 14.

2 ~ 65643 FIG. 3 illustrates the slide clip 10 incorporated to position a steel stud 50 or in the alternative a wood stud, with reference to a continuous hot rolled steel angle member 48 located at an intermediate slab 52 and a track 54 mounted on a lower slab 56.
Suitable fasteners align through holes 28a-28n of the planar member 24 to secure the slide clip 10 to the steel angle number 48 and suitable fasteners aligning with holes 40a-40n of the plate member 12 to secure the plate member 12 of the slide clip 10 to the steel stud 50. The plate member 12 can also be welded or otherwise suitably attached to a steel stud 50. Depending on the amount of misalignment of the edge of the steel angle member 48 to the vertical center line of the stud 50, the plate member 12 can be mounted at any horizontal position across the web 58 of the stud 50 up to a distance which will allow for a minimum of (4) screw attachments, (2) top and (2) bottom; of the plate member 12 to the web 58.

FIG. 4 illustrates a slide clip 10 incorporated to position a steel stud 70 with reference to a steel I-beam 72 with the use of an intermediate angle member 74 where all numerals correspond to those elements previously described.
The slide clip 10 can be used in various and different ways such as illustrated herein or incorporated using the basic members or modifications thereof to effect securation of a stud to an adjacent structural member. During installation, horizontal positioning of the steel stud 70 along arrow line 76 with respect to the intermediate angle member 74 is accomplished prior to the incorporation of fasteners through holes 40a-40n extending into the steel stud 70. Subsequent to securation vertical sliding accommodation between the steel stud 70 and the members to which it is attached, including the intermediate angle member 74 and I-beam 72, is provided by the slide clip 10 along arrow 78.

~ 2 1 656~3 FIG. 5 illustrates a steel stud 80 secured directly to a concrete slab 82 by a slide clip 10 where all numerals correspond to those elements previously described.

i_ 2 ~ 65643 FIG. 6 illustrates a steel stud 100 secured to an I-beam 102 by a deflection slide strut assembly 104 incorporating the teachings of the deflection slide clip 10 previously described. The deflection slide strut assembly 104 includes a plate member 106 which is identical to plate member 12 as previously described including upper and lower planar areas 108 and 110, an integral offset member 112 between upper and lower planar members 108 and 110, a plurality of mounting holes 114a-114n, a spring washer 116, and a large head rivet 118. An angle member 120 includes a horizontal member 122 and a vertical member 124. Horizontal member 122 can be secured with suitable fasteners and thus the entire deflection slide strut assembly 104 secured to the I-beam 102. Securation can also be accomplished by alternate methods such as welding. A slotted hole 126 aligns vertically at one end of the vertical member 124.
The angle member 120 slidingly secures to the plate member 106 by the large head rivet 118 and spring washer 116. Vertical sliding accommodation between the steel stud 100 and the I-beam 102 is provided by the slide clip 120.
