nooaeoa Specification or Letters Patent. Original application Med October 25, 1909, Serial No. 524,495.

-tianA and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Building Construction, of which the following is a specification.

My: 'present invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in lire-proof buildings, and it seeks to carry forward the system of fire-proof construction, one type of which is disclosedin my Patent No. 927,050, dated July 6, 1909.

My present invention has for its object to provide a re-proof wall construction wherein metallic partition studding serves to form the retaining and support-ing means for concrete, or other slabs without the necessity of bolting or nailing the parts together, and the present invention includes means for spacing the parts of a double Wall apart to' form an air chamber within the wall.

This invention is a divisional part of my co-pending application filed October 25, 1909, Serial No. 524,495.

In its more subordinate nature the invention resides in those novel details of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts, all of which will be first fully described, and then be specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference .being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1, -is a diagrammatic view illustrat-ing the manner ofconstructing a double wall. Fig. 2, is an enlarged detail view of the form of metallic portion of the wall. Fig. 3, is a similar view of the form of studding used at the corners of a double wall.

Referring now to the accompanying drawings, inwhich like letters and numerals of reference indicate like parts in all of the figures, and referring particularly to Fig. 1, it will be seen that infthe straight running part of the wall the `Wall blocks 25E-4 Y are joined and supported by a single interposed studding 10, formed of two sections, each of the same construction and together forming the single studding. Each studding section comprises a V-shaped spacing member 10HL merging with wing like body portions 10h-10" lying in' the same plane, from one of which body portions 10", a series .of ears `right angles to lie stud used in the straightv being bendable over right angles to that 10c project, the ears 10c at 10d to Vlie in a plane at containing the body portions 10b. The opposite edge of each body portion 10b merges with a strip portion 10 that is bent parallel to the ears 10 when they are bent over, it being observed that the ears 10c of onehalf of the studding are adjacent to the uninterrupted bent over .ears 10e of the other half of the studding, or

vice versa. The two studding sections are` joined by rivets 1l that pass through the body portions 10b and through spacing washers 11a, as indicated.

Where the-double walls studding is required, as best shown in Fig. 1 ofthe drawings, by reference to which it will be seen that the corner studding 12 is formed of two sheet metal sections, each of `-which has a spacing member 12a merging with body Wings 1.2"512c that are bent in opposite'directions but lie inv diderent but parallel planes spaced apart a sufficient distance to give the required air spaces 2z between the walls 2x-2Y. The body. portion 12c is of right angled form and is'provided with ears 12d that are bendable over to form a retaining means for one of the outer Walls 2X.

The other studding section is composed of a spacing member 12K-12f studding sections are joined, forms in con` nection with the spacing member 1,2, a parallelograrn having a long side l2s and short sides 12f. The short sides l2f join with the body portions'12g, one of which has ears 12h bendable over parallel to the side 12f to receive another' of the outer Wall sections 21?, while the other body portion 12. is of L- shape in cross section and has ears 12* that are bendable over and outward to lie parallel with the projecting part 12x4 of the body portion 12b of the rst sect-ion to form a U- shaped channel to receive one of the inner wall portions 2y, while the other wall portion `2y is received in the *channel formed by the body 12k and the adjacent side 122 as shown. The two sides of the by rivets 13, that pass through the body portions 12"-12k and 12C-42g and through spacing washers 121. V

By the use of my invention a simple, ,elfen-- tive and inexpensive double wall stadding'is'-- over at 2X-27 are joined at the corners, a slightly did'erent'form of )Patented Sept. i9, 1911i.. Divided and this application iled tiebrnary which, when the studding 12 are joined provided that may readily serve its intended purposes and that will enable a strong wall to be built.

From the foregoing `description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it is thought the complete construction, operation and advantages of my invention will be readily lunderstood by-those' skilled in the art to which the invention appertains.

What claim is:

l. A corner partit-ion stud for .double walls comprising two sheet metal members and means for securing said members top gether, said sheet metal members having av central separating portlon bent to form a parallelogram in cross section, one of said sheet metal members having portions bent into substantially U shape to form two parallel block receiving channels one at each side ofsaid central separating portion, said member also having al portion bent at right angles to said channels, the other member having a portion corresponding with said last named member portion to form a U- shaped block receiving channel at right angies to the channels 'in said rst member,

said second member having a second ortion bent into substantially U-sliape to orm a second U-shaped channel also at right angles to the Ushaped channels of said lirst member, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a double wall construction, a metallic studding comprising a pair of sheet 'metal members each having a separating' portion, said sheet metal members including a pair of parallelly .disposed block receiving chann nel portions, spacing members interposed between said sheet metal members, said sheet metal members being held back to back,

rivets passing through the sheet metal and spacing members to secure them together, said separating portions being bent to form a 'parallelo-grain in cross sect-ion to make an acute angle with the adjacent block.

3. A metallic studding for double walls composed of two sheetmetal bodies having a pair of parallelly disposed block receiving channel portions at their sides, anda channeled separating portion between said block receiving portions, said bodies being held back to back and defining a, quadruple grooved memberiiaving a central tubular portion forming a parallelogram in cross section.

4. A metallic studding for double walls
