Application filed October 18, 1913. Serial No. 796,000.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that .I, SVANTE WILI-IELM NILSSON, a subject of the King of Sweden, residing at Stockholm, in the Kingdom of Sweden, have invented new and useful Improvements in Construction of Framings for Supporting Ceiling, VVall-Plastering, and the like, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the drawing accompanying and forming a part thereof.

My invention relates to improvements in latticework framings for supporting ceiling and wall plastering, which latter may be laid directly on the framing, or a lathing, thatching, plaster may be secured to the framing.

The invention has for its object essentially to reduce the cost of manufacture of such lattice-work framings, my framing be ing characterized by the lattice-work being formed of double wire ties or braces of a slightly oblique shape and terminating in bent ends or hooks engaging with rods suspended from hooks inserted in the ceiling or wall. This framing is specially adapted for concrete floors, but it may as well be used for ceilings, walls, or partitions of any kind.

Referring to the drawing which forms part of this specification and shows a specimen of my improved framing, in which like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views of the drawing, Figure l is a section of a concrete floor, to which the said framing is applied. Fig. 2

' is a plan View of the framing, and Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view through line A-B in Fig. 2.

When molding the floor, wooden plugs or the like, 2, are inserted in the beams or girders 1, and after the concrete has set and the mold has been removed, hooks 3 are screwed or driven into said plugs 2. In these hooks 3 are placed round iron rods 4, which will thus run along the center lines of the beams 1 parallel to each other, and from these rods are suspended the double wire braces 5, as will be seen from Fig. 2. The braces are of a somewhat oblique shape and provided at their ends with bends or hooks 6 and 7 intended to engage with the rods 4. The hooks at the ends of each brace are turned in opposite directions. The substantially parallel wires 5 of which each loop is composed are not in fact exactly parallel but converge slightly, as shown in the drawings, whereby Specification of Letters Patent.

the end having the hook 7 is narrower than the end having the hook 6. The framing is put together in the following manner: By means of its narrower hook or bend 7 a brace 5 is hooked from below on the right hand rod 4 (Fig. 2), and then this end is secured to the corner C by means of a nail, staple, or the like-8 driven into the wall 9. Then the other hook or bend 6 of said brace 5 is hooked from above on the next rod 4 (to the left in Fig. 2), and this end is pushed along the rod as far as possible from the wall, so that the brace becomes well stretched. Thereupon the next brace is hooked with its narrower hook 7 from below on the last-named rod 4, so that it grips the hook 6 of the first brace and enters between the shanks of said brace (see Fig. 3), and in this way a close connection between the two braces is established. The other hook 6 of this latter brace is hooked from above on the right-hand rod 4, and so on. In this manner the several braces are hooked on the rods 4 and locked, each brace being stretched in the aforesaid manner, until the opposite corner D has been reached, when the outer hook of the last brace is secured to the wall'9 by means of a nail or staple 8. In this manner a lattice-work is formed between the rods 4, and the plaster may be directly laid thereon, or a suitable key for the plaster, such as lathing or thatching, may be secured to the braces 5 by means of wire cramps or the like. If the braces are duly stretched the latticework will be sufiiciently strong for supporting even the heaviest plastering without giving away.

The width and obliquity of the braces 5 should be so calculated that there is space enough on the rods 4 for hooking on the braces of the lattice-work of next bay. After all the braces have been hooked on, the hooks 3 are driven in entirely, so that the hooks of the braces are pressed against the faces of the beams or girders 1 and thus firmly secured.

Having now I claim as new and ters Patent is 1. In a lattice-work framing of the character described, the combination of a pair of parallel supporting rods, of a plurality of double wire braces of substantially rhomboida-l form, the opposite ends of each brace being hooked over said rods and the hooked described my invention, what desire to secure by Letend of one brace. of the adjacent scribed.

5. In a lattice-work framing of the character described, double wire braces of substantially rhomboidal form each having one end slightly narrower than the other end, said ends being oppositely bent to form hooks, the hook at the wide end exceeding slightly a quarter turn and the hook at the narrow end exceeding slightly a half turn.
