STUDDING SUPPORT OR HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDGAR B. lVILLs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mendota, in the county of Lasalle and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Studding Supports or Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a support or holder adapted to receive and secure in place the lower end of a wooden studding which rises from a concrete structure.

The objects of the present invention are to provide a support or holder which is cheap and simple of construction, which will be easily positioned in the mass of concreteforming the wall from which the studding rises, which can be positioned adjacent to the edge of a concrete wall without weak ening the same, which will be configured to permit of the insertion of a locking member into the studding to more rigidly secure the studding in place, and which will have the portion intended to be embedded in the concrete provided with openings to permit the passage of concrete through the lower end of the support, thereby giving additional security and stability to the support.

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

In the drawings, Figure l is a view of a portion of a concrete wall with a portion of a studding rising therefrom, and showing the supports of the present invention in section and in operative position; Fig. 2, a section of one of the supports of the present invent-ion; and Fig. 3, a perspective of the form of support shown in Fig. 2.

In the art of building difliculty has been experienced in securing the wooden uprights or studdings which rise from a concrete wall, it being undesirable for obvious reasons to embed the studding in the body of the wall, and it being a diflicult matter to nail or otherwise secure the studding in position.

The present invention relates to an article of manufacture which can be readily inserted in the concrete wall without weaken ing or distorting the same, and which, when and will also serve to rigidly secure the,

studding in position.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 697,290.

Referring to the form of support illustratod in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, the same comprises a body portion 4, preferably formed of sheet metal; and said body portion consists of an upper section 5 and a lower section 6. The upper section 5 comprises side walls 7, an end wall 8, and a bottom wall 9, the bottom wall sloping inward, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. The four walls provide a receptacle or seat which is adapted to receive the lower end of a studding.

In usage two of the supports are used in the manner shown in Fig. 1, one upon each side of the studding to be secured. Both supports, however, are exactly similar in style and construction, and a description of one will suliice for both. The supports are so arranged that they are reversible and can be used upon either side of the sluddiug desired. It is understood, of course, that the terms end, side, and bottom are merely used to describe the structure in the position in which it is shown in the drawings. and are not to be considered as terms of limitation, since the supports might be placed in a horizontalinstead of a vertical position and perform their functions in exactly the same manner. The end wall 8 is provided with a hole 10 to permit the passage of a locking member 11 into the body of the studding, which gives to the studding additional rigidity and support and securely locks it in place. By configuring the lower wall 9 so that it slopes in the manner illustrated in the drawings, a substantial body of concrete will underlie the lower end of the section, giving it a firm and strong foundation and acting in the nature of an anchor; and the studding can be sunk a greater or less extent into the body of the concrete, causing the con crete to permeate around the lower end of the studding and give further solidity to the same. The lower portion 6 of the studding is in the form of a plate or blade 12, and is of a nature to be easily driven into the mass of concrete forming the wall from which the studding rises. The lower portion is also provided with a hole or opening 13, which permits the concrete to pass through said lower portion, thus anchoring the support firmly in position. When the support is embedded in the concrete, asillustrated in Fig. 1, it is so surrounded by the material of which the wall is constructed as to become practically a portion of said Wall; and the studding, therefore, rests upon and is secured, to all practical purposes, to the wall itself, and at the same time it is set in position without distorting or weakening the body of the wall. Furthermore, by the arrangement of the structure shown and described, the holders or supports can be positioned adjacent to the edge of the wall 'so as to be spaced a sufficient distance apart to accommodate the studding and still be securely held and in no danger of breaking or chipping the walls and becoming loosened.

I claim:

1. A studding support of the class described, consisting of a sheet metal structure comprising an upper section and a lower section, the upper section being composed oftwo side walls, a back wall, and a bottom wall, and forming a receptacle open at the front and at the top, the bottom wall sloping toward the open front, and a blade forming the lower section and extending downwardly from the front end of the bottom wall, said side wall projecting below the bottom wall and forming additional blades, substantially as described.

2. A studding support of the class described, consisting of a sheet metal structure comprising an upper section and a lower section, the upper section being coniposecl of two side walls, a back wall, and a bottom wall, and forming a receptacle open at the front and top, the bottom wall sloping toward the open front end, and a blade forming the lower section and extending downwardly from the front end of the bottom wall, said side walls projecting below the bottom wall and forming additional blades, a portion of the side walls below the bottom wall sloping downwardly from the rear to the front of the support, substantially as described.

3. A- studding support of the class clescribed, consisting of a sheet metal struc ture comprising an upper section and a lower section, the upper section being com- .posed of two side walls, a back wall, and a bottom wall, and forming a receptacle open at the front and top, the bottom wall sloping toward the open front end, and a blade forming the lower section and extending downwardly from the front end of the bottom wall, said side walls projecting below the bottom wall and forming additional blades, a portion of the side walls below the bottom wall sloping downwardly from the rear to the front of the support, and the portion of the side wall above the bottom walls, being of triangular formation and sloping from the back to .the front downsubstantially as described.
