To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, HARRY H. BUR'soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinols, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Studdings for Plaster- Boards or the Like,-of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a studding more especially adapted to support la'ste'r boards or analogous substances used 1n the construction of walls.

The objects of the present invention are,

. to form a simple structure which will be easy of manufacture; toso configurate the structure as to provide a serles of crotches in the body thereof, in which the ends of the laster board will rest; to provide means or maintaining the plaster board proper position with respect to the studdmg pr or to the application of the plaster; to prov de a series of openings in the body of the studding to permit 0 the ingress of plaster to the interior of the studding, whereby the studding is transformed after the apphcation of plaster into a solid structure and to form the ortionsof the studding which lie ing sets of

wings

drawings, the studding is of a shell-like in the b0 y of the wall ofa configuration adapted to withstand pressure.

The invention further consists in the features of construction and the combination of arts hereinafter described and claimed.

Iii the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional lan view, showin the studding and plaster card embedded in a completed wall, and showing one means for maintainin the board in place upon the studding PllOI to the application of plaster; Fig. 2, a view similar to 'Fig. 1, showing another means for maintaining the plaster boards in'position; Fig. 3, a face view of thewtudding of the present invention; and' Fig. 4, a perspective of a section of said studding.

The studding comprises a body portion 5, which, as shown, is formed of a single piece of sheet-metal and is bent into a cross-like configuration to provide op ositelyextend- Ks shown in the nature, whereby a hollow interior is provided. The wings 6, as shown, extend out from the body of the studdin in a direction longitudinally of the plaster Foards, and are i of a substantially rectangular formation in cross section. The wings 7, as shown, extend out from the body of the studding in a direction transversely of the plaster boards and are of a'substantially triangular shape in cross section. This trlangular formation of the wings 7 is for the purpose of enabling them 'to resist the strain which will necessarily'be brought to bear thereon, which strain will be producedbecause these wings, as shown, lie in the body of the wall and the pressure which is exerted against the faces of the wall is transmitted directly to these wings, and it is a well known mechanical principle that a curved or sloping surface is better adapted to withstand pressure than a fiat one. Were it not for the additional strength which is thus given to these walls, these wings 7 might properly be formed of a rectangular configuration the same as the wings 6. So far as the function of these .wings 7 in maintaining the ends of the plas- At the intersection of the wings 6 with the wings 7 are formed crotches 8, inwhich the ends 9 of plaster boards 10 rest. The crotches formed at the juncture of the wings would, in the construction shown, be four in number, two of them lying upon either side of the center of the studding. This provides ameans for placing plaster boards upon opposits sides of the studding, whereby a holow wall construction can be, produced, the wings 6 serving to space the plaster boards apart and-permit of a channel between them.

The wings 7 have a series of cuts along their outer edge, which are of a nature 'to form tines 11 along said edge. These tines are adapted to be bent into the position shown in Fig. 1, and when so bent serve as means for retaining plaster boards in osition prior to the placing of plaster themupon. The cutting of the wings 7 to form tirely optional with the user.

along the edge thereof, through which open- .member being in the nature of a nail or other analogous article. And this member 14 will serve as a means for securingthe ends of the plaster boards in position when it is not desirable to bend the tines 11 into position to fulfil this purpose. When the studding is formed with both the holes 13 and the tines 11, the user may choose which of these means be desires to utilize to perform this work, but, of course, it is evident that the studding may be formed only with the holes 13, and with the tines 11 eliminated, or vice versa.

In practice the device is used as follows: The studdings are placed at predetermined intervals at the points where the wall is to be erected. The plaster boards are then inserted in position. This'is accomplished by simply laying them on top of one another with their ends resting within the crotches 8. As they. are placed with their ends in this position, then, with the form of studding shown, either the tines 11 are bent into the position shown in Fig. 1 to maintain the boards in proper position with respect to the studding before plaster is applied thereto, or a member 14 is inserted throug the holes 13 to accomplish this result, the. manner of securance being en'- After the plaster boards have been positioned upon the studding, plaster is applied to the outer surface of the boards to form a complete wall, and during such application the plaster will percolate into the interior of the studding to form the studding into a solidi-- fied mass in place of the original shell-like structure.

It will be noted that the wings 7 project beyond the outer faces of the plaster board, so that when the plastering is applied it will readily enter through the openings 12 into the interior of the studding.

- I claim:

1. A studding of the class described, formed of a piece of metal bent to provide a shell-like structure cross-shaped in section and consisting of wings, the juncture of the wings providing crotches in which the ends of the plaster board rest, one set of wings being rectangular in cross section, and the other set of wings being triangular in cross section, the rectangular wings being located between the triangular wings, and means for securing the ends of the plaster board in place upon the studding prior to the application of the plaster thereto,

the body of the studdingbeing provided with openings to permit of the ingress of plaster thereinto, substantially as described.

2.
