A kind of saddle type connector with inverted-channel, the bulb of the stringer in joint ceiling grid.Described passage has the tooth of the hardening of the relative wall interlaced arrangement along this passage.Whole active forces that the pliers that described tooth is operated manually is applied are pressed in the bulb of described stringer one at a time.

Description

Saddle type connector
Cross-Reference to Related Applications
The application is submission on August 24th, 2010, entitled " (toothed stringer presss from both sides BEAM CLIP WITH TEETH Son) " the divisional application of copending United States application No.12/806,909.
Technical field
This invention relates generally to the furred ceiling being suspended on structure ceiling, more particularly, it relates to for metal beams Connector, described metal beams forms grid in this furred ceiling.
Background technology
Stringer in ceiling grid is formed by straight continuous metal Strip, and described metal plates and strips rolls through continuous print Roller.Band is bent into such cross section by roll, and this cross section has bulb at top, the abdomen hung down from bulb Plate, and the horizontal flanges of web opposite side portion it is positioned in bottom.
Stringer forms grid, and this grid by panel support in rectangular grid opening, or can be able to support from following logical Cross tapping screw and be attached to the drywall panel of grid.
The mould bases that stringer in grid is attached on sidewall at each sidepiece of grid, generally by screw, but sometimes Also by saddle type connector, this saddle type connector utilizes tapping screw to be fixed to mould bases and stringer.This saddle type connector has Having inverted passage, this passage strides across the bulb of stringer, and from stringer be provided above in place.
This saddle type passage connector has tooth in every side of passage, and described tooth protrudes into the structural detail that they stride across In, this saddle type passage connector has been applied on wooden stringer.In metal beams, when connector is applied to stringer On, then when applying active force (such as utilizing hand vice to apply), the tooth of connector is typically bent and cannot thrust stringer In metal.Therefore, the furred ceiling field of grid it is applied in metal beams, it is impossible to accept this connector.
Summary of the invention
The present invention uses saddle type connector, and this saddle type connector is engaged with the tooth extended from passage sidepiece, described tooth In the bulb of metal beams, in order to stringer is connected to the wall mould bases of ceiling grid, or is connected to another metal Stringer.Described saddle type connector strides across the bulb in stringer, and when utilizing hand vice to apply active force to described tooth, described Tooth is snapped in the bulb of stringer, one at a time by described tooth press-in bulb.
The steel of described saddle type connector hardening is made, with the sharp tip tooth gone out from the sidepiece stamping of saddle. Described tooth is positioned in connector, so they can utilize common manual pliers, such as " glossal canal " pincers, one next Ground embeds in the metal bulb of stringer.One claw of pliers can be connected relative with the tooth being inserted into logical on part The sidepiece in road is without interfering with any tooth not yet inserted and on connector passage opposite side is relative Hardening sharp teeth embed stringer bulb in.
In this way, the mechanical dominance produced by pliers, whole active forces that setter applies can once concentrate on On one tooth, with the significant penetration resistance overcoming stringer to produce.The tooth of hardening also will not bend, so tooth is pressed into stringer In.
The connector of the present invention can quickly and for good and all be applied, to provide firm connection.Be subject to earthquakes Area, can be inserted into tapping screw in stringer through clip, to provide extra intensity.

Detailed description of the invention
Furred ceiling, such as, as being included in United States Patent (USP) 6,523,313 and 6 herein by quoting, shown in 138,416, There is the grid of interconnection stringer.In grill openings in panelling variola, grid by panel support on the flange of stringer.Dry In wall ceiling, the bottom of the flange of the stringer that wallboard sheet material is secured in grid by tapping screw.Grid utilization is hung muscle and is hanged Hang over structure sky to take.
The invention mainly relates to the saddle type connector that the stringer of grid is fixed to surrounds the wall mould bases of grid, or by grid The saddle type connector that stringer in lattice is connected to each other.
Prior art
In the prior art, as it is shown in figure 1, turning wall mould bases 20 utilizes screw 23 to be fixed to side wall 21 and wall column 22.With The continuously stringer 25 of the plates of breadth, has bulb 26, the web 27 hung down from the bulb 26 and end of at The horizontal flanges 28 that portion extends on the contrary from web 27.Web 27 bed of material of stringer 25 is fixed together by suture 29.
Form the stringer 25 of a part for above-mentioned grid, with its end support saddle in the horizontal ledge 31 of wall mould bases 20.Existing The end of stringer 25 is fixed on the vertical leg 33 of wall mould bases 20 by the saddle type connector 32 having technology, in order to kept by stringer 25 On mould bases 20 in place.Inverted-channel 35 strides across bulb 26.Passage 35 at one end 36 opens, to form downwardly extend smooth Part 37, this flat portion is hooked on the vertical leg 33 of wall mould bases 20.Tapping screw 38 is by the saddle type connector of prior art 32 are fixed to bulb 26.
The present invention
The saddle type connector 40 of the present invention uses the zigzag tooth 41 of hardening to replace screw 23, to be snapped to the swollen of stringer 25 In big portion 26, in order to inverted-channel 42 is fixed to the bulb 26 of stringer 25.
Tooth 41 is stamped out by the opposing sidewalls 43 and 44 of the inverted-channel 42 of saddle type connector 40, and has pivotal leg 45 With tip section 46.
As in figure 2 it is shown, backing 47 bends downwards from bridgeware 48, described bridgeware extends from inverted-channel 42.Backing 47 On go out lip 49, this lip is hooked between the vertical leg 33 of sidewall 21 and wall mould bases 20, such as the sectional view institute in Fig. 6 Show.
The most as shown in Figure 4, the tooth 41 of the present invention is initially outside from relative both sidewalls 43 and 44 of inverted-channel 42 Location, and relative to the tooth interlaced arrangement on relative wall.So allow pliers 50 shown in dotted lines in Figure 3 in the following manner Work, wherein a claw 51 of pliers 50 can be with bearing position 52 on channel side wall 44 at, and another of pliers 50 Individual claw 53 can be applied at the position 54 in the pivotal leg 45 of the tooth 41 on relative channel side wall 43, as shown in Figure 4.This Sample allows the total leverage of pliers 50 to be once applied on a tooth 41, and the tip section 46 of the tooth 41 thus hardened thrusts In the softer metal of the bulb 26 of stringer 25.
The saddle type connector 40 of the present invention can be to show as other forms.In Fig. 7,8 and 9, it is shown that the company of the present invention Fitting 60 is for being connected to main truss bar 65 by single intersection stringer 70.As it can be seen, in Fig. 7, the form shown in 8 and 9, connect Part 60 has the passage 61 and 62 of array, and vertically extending passage 63.Passage 61 and 62 is at the bulb 64 of main truss bar 65 Extending above, main truss bar 65 has web 66, flange 67 and suture 68.
Otch 69 on passage 61,62 and 63 allows connector 60 to engage main truss bar 65 and the stringer 70 that intersects, especially such as Fig. 8 Shown in.Tooth 74 is longitudinally staggered along passage 61,62 and 63, so that described tooth will not be relative to each other, and a thus card of pliers 72 Pawl 71 can be with bearing position 73 on passage at, and another claw 75 of pliers 72 can be applied on tooth 74.
In figs. 11 and 12, it is shown that the connector 60 of Fig. 7 is for being connected to main truss by relative intersection stringer 80 and 81 Bar 82.Passage 63 extends above at main truss bar 65, and passage 61 and 62 extends above at intersection stringer 80 and 81.As it has been described above, Hardening metal tooth 74 is pressed in the bulb 26 of stringer 25, once press-in one, and thus whole active forces of hand vice 72 are by Effectively apply on tooth 74.
Using aforesaid way, tooth 41 thrusts in the bulb 26 of stringer 25 in various embodiments disclosed above, thus Between the stringer of furred ceiling or central generation firmly connects.
