Abstract
The Deflection Restraint Bracket has been designed for ease of installation and simplicity of use offering structural reinforcement to a vertical framed steel walling system comprising a plurality of studs and a header track. Wherever beams and/or floors are in contact with vertical partition or structural walls, deflection is anticipated. Whether the primary structure is in-situ concrete or hot rolled steel, live load deflection must be accommodated to prevent internal and external finishes distorting or becoming damaged during the buildings use. The deflection Restraint Bracket accommodates permissible deflection within a vertical framed system by holding the vertical stud in location, offering uncompromised deflection and reinforcement of the framing system. The bracket secures the vertical stud within the flanges of the head track in the correct location allowing the head channel to move up and down independently of the stud. The restraint bracket comprises of a back face with two side ways that are folded to contour the shape of the studs it sits around.
Description
2.0 DescriptiOn
2.1 Deflection Restraint Bracket
2.2 Background
(2.1.1)Wherever beams and/or floors are in contact with vertical partition or structural walls, deflection is anticipated. (2.1.2) Whether the primary structure is in-situ concrete or hot rolled steel, live load deflection must be accommodated to prevent internal and external finishes distorting or becoming damaged during the buildings use. Please refer to Figure 3.1 2.3 Problem (2.3.1) Partition and steel framed system are becoming evermore popular within the building industry offering fast track construction solutions to the building trade. (2.3.2) The problem with current steel framed building deflection systems is that the method of restraining the vertical stud is either costly, time consuming, involves additional materials to restrain the stud or does not offer full tortional support to the stud once implemented.
2.4 Solution (2.4.1) The invention relates to a Bracket or Clip that has been designed to hold vertical studs in location within a steel framed walling system, without compromising the permissible deflection that the system is required to accommodate, see Figure 3.2. (2.4.2) The Deflection Restraint Bracket accommodates permissible deflection Within a vertical framed system by holding the vertical stud in location, offering uncompromised deflection and reinforcement of the framing system. (2.4.3) The bracket secures the vertical stud within the flanges of the head track in the correct location allowing the head channel to move up and down independently of the stud. (2.4.4) The Restraint bracket uses the side contoured profile to wrap around the vertical stud profile holding it in position. This design limits the use of material, time and reinforces the vertical stud adding to the systems structural integrity by spacing the flanges under load through the web and profiles flanges.
2.5 Key Features 2.5.1 No requirement for horizontal noggins (Horizontal restraint at mid point) 2.5.2 No requirement for head blocking (Horizontal restraint at head level) 2.5.3 Prevents torsional reactions of the vertical stud 2.5.4 No Special Design detailing 2.5.5 Reinforces the bead track 2.5.6 Avoids damage of falling studs 2.5.7 Limits the amount of cutting on site 2.5.8 Limits the amount of additional components to form the same or similar functions 2.5.9 No loss of fire, acoustic or thermal performance/resistance 2.5.10 Prevents damage to stud through compression of primary structure 2.5.11 Can be manufactured to accommodate a variety of sizes 2.5.12 Allows fast location and fixing of vertical components 2.5.13 Removes the need for heavy lifting, propping and temporary support 2.5.14 Allows permissible deflection within the system 2.5.15 Adds structural integrity and reinforcement to the framing system 2.5.16 Locally reinforces the head track 2.5.17 Easy twist in application 2.6 Materials (2.6.1) The design can be manufactured using folded/press-braked Light Gauge Galvanised Steel or (2.6.2) from a Polymer based injection moulded material fixed either mechanically or chemically subject to structural requirements.

Figure Key Description
Ref ______ Figure A Wherever beams and/or floors are m contact with vertical partition or structural walls, 3.1 deflection is anticipated. Whether the primary structure is in-situ concrete or hot rolled steel, live load deflection must be accommodated to prevent internal and external finishes distorting or becoming damaged during the buildings use.
B When the building deflects as highlighted anything solid fixed would shear its fixings or buckle locally under the load, the Deflection Restraint Brackets prevents buckling of the _____ ____ vertical studs and therefore any finishes that are applied internally or externally.
Figure C The vertical stud is able to move upwards and downwards whilst restrained by the Bracket, 3.2 this allows permissible deflection whilst supporting the stud, offering additional installation & ____ ___ structural support Figure D Sizes to suit vertical studs 3.3 E Back is notched at an angle to allow easy twist insertion for the user Figure F Vertical Stud 3.4 0 Head Track H Mechanical Fixing I DRB (Steel) J DRB (Polymer) K Chemical Adhesive L The design can be manufactured from various materials in order to form its function. The structural integrity and support come from the shape of the design. The connection to head track can be accommodate using either mechanical or chemical adhesive dependent on _______ ______ structural requirement.
Figure M Primary Structure 3.5 N Head Track 0 Deflection Restraint Bracket P Vertical Stud ______ Q Back is notched at a slight angle to allow easy installation Figure R Flanges and leg twist 3.6 S The vertical stud can twist when load is applied and free itself from intended location T Flanges and leg held in place with opposing force from the DRB _____ U The vertical stud is prevented from twisting as the DRB secures the legs of the stud in location Figure V The Head track is restrained from moving by the Deflection Restraint Bracket. This is 3.7 achieved through the connection and continuous span of material acting in opposition to the loads applied to the vertical stud ______ X No opposition when loaded
