Description
TITLE: SOUND ATTENUATING METAL FRAMING MEMBER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to metal framing members for use in constructing partition walls. In particular, the invention relates to metal framing members which provide for reduced sound transmission through the partition walls.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is common practice in residential and many commercial buildings to separate the various rooms by partition walls to define the space of the room. Such partition walls have in the past been constructed of wood members including top and bottom plates and bridging studs. The use of wood members has its short comings. The supply of lumber is getting scarce and costs have increased during recent years. In addition, wood can warp and go out of shape when it becomes wet as well as being susceptible to fire damage and attack by vermin of various kinds.
In recent years,-partition walls framed with sheet metal members have been employed. The use of sheet metal members provides advantages of dimensional stability, ease of manufacturing, and conservation of natural resources, among others. However, metal studs are better conductors of sound then wood and additional measures must be taken to reduce sound transmission through walls.
In partition walls separating units in a multi-unit building, techniques have been developed to reduce the sound transmission through a metal framed partition wall.
For example, in some circumstances furring members are installed across the studs of the partition wall and the covering material is attached to this furring member.
Another commonly employed technique is the use of double or triple layers of wall board as the covering material for the partition wall, However, both of these techniques increase the cost and time to frame and install the partition walls.
There thus remains a need for metal framing members which can reduce the sound transmission without the use of additional measures.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides for a metal framing member having improved sound attenuating properties to reduce the sound transmission through a partition wall constructed utilizing the framing members. The framing members have a central web which bridges the interior of a partition wall, attached to either edge of the central web are upstanding side walls to which the covering material may be attached. The central web is provided a plurality of paired rows of elongated slits oriented along the longitudinal direction of the central web. The individual rows of slits in the paired rows are offset from one another in the longitudinal direction such that there is no uninterrupted line of metal bridging the web from one edge of the web to the other in any transverse direction.
In an aspect of the invention, the central web is provided with two paired rows of elongated slits, each of the paired rows being adjacent to each of the upstanding side walls.
In a further aspect of the present invention, the slit are longer in the longitudinal direction of the metal stud than the material of the web of the stud between adjacent longitudinally aligned slits.
In yet another aspect of the invention, the slits are at least four times as long as the material between the adjacent longitudinally aligned slits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention is directed to a metal framing member such as studs 10 and tracks 12 utilized in framing partition walls 14 as illustrated in Figure 1. The partition walls 14 are framed from a metal track 12 forming the top plates 12a and bottom plates 12b that are bridged by the parallel spaced apart metal studs 10. The spacing between the metal studs 10 is that typically utilized in construction of walls generally at 16 inches on center although other spacing such as 24 inches on center may be utilized. The studs 10 are attached to the top plate 12a and bottom plate 12b through the use of suitable screws 16. Once the partition wall 14 is framed utilizing the studs 10, top plate 12a and bottom plate 12b, suitable wall covering material such as wall board IS is attached to the partition wall utilizing suitable screws 20.
As illustrated in particular in Figures 2 to 5, the metal stud 10 has a generally C-shaped rectangular cross section with two parallel spaced apart side walls 22 and JJ-13656-1C.
a central web 24 bridging the side walls 22. The side walls 22 terminate in inwardly turned ledges 26. The central web 24 may be provided with a main central section 24a bordered by channel shaped ribs 24b extending longitudinally of the stud 10. The longitudinal ribs 24b extend outwardly of the stud 10 and aid in stiffening of the central web of the stud 10.
The main central section 24a of the web 24 is provided with a plurality of longitudinally extending paired rows of slits 30 which provide the sound attenuating characteristic of the metal framing members of the present invention. As illustrated in the figures, preferably two rows of paired slits 30 are provided adjacent each of the channel shaped ribs 24b in the main central section 24a of the central web 24. In framing member not having the channel shaped ribs, it is preferred if the paired rows of slits are provided in the web adjacent each of the upstanding side walls.
The individual rows of slits 30 of the paired rows on each side of the web 24 are offset from one another such that the section of the web 24a between adjacent individual slits 32 is aligned with the central region of the slit 32 in the adjacent row. In this way, there is no continuous unbroken line of metal in any transverse ii-13656-1CA
direction from one edge of the central web 24 to the other. Thus, there is no direct line by which sound may be directly transmitted across the web of the metal stud 10.
In addition, the slits 32 are significantly longer in the longitudinal direction of the metal stud than the material 34 of the web of the stud bridging between adjacent slits 32. Preferably the slits 32 are at least four times as long as the material 34 bridging between the adjacent slits 32. More preferably, the slits 32 are about 2 to 4 inches long and the material of the web 34 between the adjacent slits 32 is about 4 inch to 1 inch long. Most preferably, the slits 32 are about two inches long and the material 34 between the adjacent slits 32 is about 14 inch to 4 inch. This also provides for a reduced amount of material through which the sound can transverse the web 24 of the stud 10. By providing the slits 32 as illustrated, the amount of material through which sound can be transmitted across the stud 10 is reduced significantly further aiding in the sound attenuating properties of the metal framing members of the present invention.
As illustrated in the drawings, it is preferred that as the slits 32 are being formed the slits 32 are displaced out of the plane of the web 24 of the metal stud 10.
This provides for an air gap 36 between the edge of the slit 32 and the edge of the web 24 of the metal stud 10 further aiding in the sound attenuating properties of the metal framing members of the present invention.
As illustrated in the figures, it is preferred that it in addition to the sound attenuating structures in the metal stud as described that similar structures are also provided in the track 12 forming the top and bottom plates of the metal stud wall.
The sound transmission class (stc) of the stud of the present invention was compared to a standard metal stud in tests conducted utilizing the ASTM standard testing procedure. Walls were constructed utilizing either the metal stud and track of the present invention or a standard metal stud and track. One series of walls had a single layer of drywall applied to each side while another series had a single layer of drywall on one side and a double layer of drywall on the other. The results of the test are shown in Table 1.

The partition walls 14 are framed from a metal track 12 forming the top plates 12a and bottom plates 12b that are bridged by the parallel spaced apart metal studs 10. The spacing between the metal studs 10 is that typically utilized in construction of walls generally at 16 inches on center although other spacing such as 24 inches on center may be utilized. The studs 10 are attached to the top plate 12a and bottom plate 12b through the use of suitable screws 16. Once the partition wall 14 is framed utilizing the studs 10, top plate 12a and bottom plate 12b, suitable wall covering material such as wall board IS is attached to the partition wall utilizing suitable screws 20.
As illustrated in particular in Figures 2 to 5, the metal stud 10 has a generally C-shaped rectangular cross section with two parallel spaced apart side walls 22 and JJ-13656-1C.
a central web 24 bridging the side walls 22. The side walls 22 terminate in inwardly turned ledges 26. The central web 24 may be provided with a main central section 24a bordered by channel shaped ribs 24b extending longitudinally of the stud 10. The longitudinal ribs 24b extend outwardly of the stud 10 and aid in stiffening of the central web of the stud 10.
The main central section 24a of the web 24 is provided with a plurality of longitudinally extending paired rows of slits 30 which provide the sound attenuating characteristic of the metal framing members of the present invention. As illustrated in the figures, preferably two rows of paired slits 30 are provided adjacent each of the channel shaped ribs 24b in the main central section 24a of the central web 24. In framing member not having the channel shaped ribs, it is preferred if the paired rows of slits are provided in the web adjacent each of the upstanding side walls.
The individual rows of slits 30 of the paired rows on each side of the web 24 are offset from one another such that the section of the web 24a between adjacent individual slits 32 is aligned with the central region of the slit 32 in the adjacent row. In this way, there is no continuous unbroken line of metal in any transverse ii-13656-1CA
direction from one edge of the central web 24 to the other. Thus, there is no direct line by which sound may be directly transmitted across the web of the metal stud 10.
In addition, the slits 32 are significantly longer in the longitudinal direction of the metal stud than the material 34 of the web of the stud bridging between adjacent slits 32. Preferably the slits 32 are at least four times as long as the material 34 bridging between the adjacent slits 32. More preferably, the slits 32 are about 2 to 4 inches long and the material of the web 34 between the adjacent slits 32 is about 4 inch to 1 inch long. Most preferably, the slits 32 are about two inches long and the material 34 between the adjacent slits 32 is about 14 inch to 4 inch. This also provides for a reduced amount of material through which the sound can transverse the web 24 of the stud 10. By providing the slits 32 as illustrated, the amount of material through which sound can be transmitted across the stud 10 is reduced significantly further aiding in the sound attenuating properties of the metal framing members of the present invention.
As illustrated in the drawings, it is preferred that as the slits 32 are being formed the slits 32 are displaced out of the plane of the web 24 of the metal stud 10.
This provides for an air gap 36 between the edge of the slit 32 and the edge of the web 24 of the metal stud 10 further aiding in the sound attenuating properties of the metal framing members of the present invention.
As illustrated in the figures, it is preferred that it in addition to the sound attenuating structures in the metal stud as described that similar structures are also provided in the track 12 forming the top and bottom plates of the metal stud wall.
The sound transmission class (stc) of the stud of the present invention was compared to a standard metal stud in tests conducted utilizing the ASTM standard testing procedure. Walls were constructed utilizing either the metal stud and track of the present invention or a standard metal stud and track. One series of walls had a single layer of drywall applied to each side while another series had a single layer of drywall on one side and a double layer of drywall on the other.
