CLIP FOR HOLDING PLASTER-IBOARDS.
Speccation of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 3, 1913..
Application filed May 2S, 1916. Serial No. 99,959. i
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, ARTHUR el'. YVIDMER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of lebster Groves, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful lmprovelnent in Clips for Holding Plaster-Boards, of which the fol lowing is a specilication.
This invention relates to plaster walls and ceilings wherein thin boards made of gypsum, pulp, liber, and the like, are used for supporting the plaster, and the invention consists in an improved clip for supporting the plaster boards to the wall studding or ceiling supports.
The object of the invention is an inexpensive clip which can readily be attached to the support and which holds the plaster boards securely in proper alinenient. Further objects of the invention appear in connection with the following description of the various -devices shown in the drawings, and what the invention consists in vis more par ticularly defined in the appended claims.
ln the drawings, wherein the same reference characters designate the same or si1nilar parts in the several views;
Figure 1 is a cross-section through a ceiling parallel to a support, showing an end view of one forni of clip;
Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same ceiling at right angles to a support, showing a side view of the clip;
Fig. 3 is a perspective View ot shown in Figs. land 2;
Fig.. 4 is a crossesection of a wall at right angles to the studding, showing a modified form of clip;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the form of clip shown in Fig. Al; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a piece of metal studding having integral back supports against which the plaster boards are held by integral tongues and plates carried the clip thereby.
lln the construction shown in Figs. 1., 2 and 3, the supports 10 for the ceiling are metal channels with spaced slots 11 in their lower edges tor clips 12. Fach clip 12 comprises an inverted channel-shape middle portion and two parallel spacers 13 projecting lfrom one edge and a flanged spacer 14 projecting from its opposite edge in a plane parallel to the spacers 13, the lower tace l ot' the spacer le being in the same plane as the .spacers 13, and a tongue 15 which projects from the middle of the clip between and at right angles to the spacers 13. The clips 12 are arranged in the slots in the lower flangesof the supports 10 with their tongues 15 projectingdown, and with the parallel spacers 13 below the supports, the flanged spacers 1st resting on the lower flanges ot' the supports with the extremities of their flanges projecting down over the edges of the lower flanges of the supports and terminating below them in the plane oit the spacers 13. The edges of the plaster boards 1G rest on the ends of plates 17 which are supported by the tongues 15. rllhe plates have slots through their middles, and the ends of the tongues pass through the slots in the plates and are bent over. rThe plates 17 hold the edges of the plaster boards up against the parallel spacers 13 and lower faces of the flanged spacers 11, to locate them in proper horizontal alinement.
The clip shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 may be used also in walls by making slots in both flanges oi the studs, as shown in Fig. l. The clips 13 shown in Fig. et are arranged on the outer faces of the flanges 19 of the channelshape support 20, and are secured by hook prongs 21 which are bent up from the clips and hooked through slots 22 in the web of the support. The plaster boards 16 are either penetrated by the tongues 23 ot the clips, or their edges are held against the clips by slotted plates 24 which are secured by the tongues.
The'clips shown in Fig. 4f may be secured to the supports at the place ot manufacture and shipped already assembled. The clips may also be made integral with the support instead ot being separately formed and secured thereto. Fig. 6 shows a channel-shape support 25 having integral clips, the spacin portions 26 being punched out oit the we and the tongues 27 being punched out ot the danges 23. The tongues 27 are twisted parallel to the web and lie nearly in the plane of the web, so the flanges 28 serve as spacers for the plaster boards on the side ol the tongues opposite the spacing portions 26.
llt isu evident that modi cations in the shape and dimensions ot the spacers, tongues and plates may be made without departing from the invention, and the invention is not restricted to the terms shown in the drawingsu l claim the following as my invention: l. The combination With plaster boards of a support therefor having spacing members thereon, said spacing members having laterally extending portions constituting abutments for the plaster boards and a perpendicularly extending tongue adapted to project beyond the face of the plaster boards, and a plate carried by said` tongue and holding said plaster boards against 4said spacing members.
2.1'lll1e combination with plaster boards of a support therefor having spacing members thereon, said spacing members having laterally extending portions constituting abutments for the end portions of adjacent plaster boards and a perpendicularly extending tongue adapted to project through the space between adjacent plaster boards, and a perforated plate impaled on said tongue and overlapping the ends of said boards, saltid tongue being bent to hold said plate in p ace. v
3. fn combination with a support for plaster boards, said support having slots in it at spaced intervals, clips arranged in said slots, said clips comprising spacing members arranged to bear against the edges of Mamme the plaster boards on each side of said support and having tongues projecting between 3e the edges of the plaster boards, and plates carried by the tongues and supporting the edges of the plaster boards against the spacing members,
4. lin combination With a support for plaster boards, said support having slots in it at spaced intervals, clips arranged in said slots, said .clips comprising members arranged over the support and having tongues projecting beyond the face of the plaster tu boards, land plates carried by the tongues and supporting the plaster boards.
5. lfn combination With a support for plaster boards, said support having spaced slots therein, clips arranged in said slots, 41@ said clips .comprising middle portions engaging the support, spacerson each, side thereof bearing against the plaster boards, and tongues projecting beyond the face of the plaster boards, and plates carried by the tongues and supporting the plaster boards against the spacers.
