Fit'Eh-l'i FITTING.
Application filed .rem-nary 2,1925. serial No. 6,368.
My invention relates to building construction andV more specifically to an improved 'fastening means at the joint between one flat structure and another abutting the same, for holding a nailing strip or the like in place. lts/There the strip lies on a floor adjacent a partition or door-sill it is called a carpet strip.
Among the primary objects ot the invention may be enumerated:
First. The provision of an effective. holddown at the wall edge of a carpet strip.
Second. An efiicient tension connection for the edge remote from the wall, hereinafter referred to as the fioor edge.
Third. A strong and satisfactory con struction employing only one ground tor the base board.
Fourth. The formation of the necessary fittings from material of simple shape without any waste of material, by the simplest possible forming operations.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as this description proceeds.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is an isometric projection et one type of fitting according to the invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section through a vertical wall showing a fitting with one end formed according to Fig. l and the other formed 'for use with only one ground back of the base board.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a blank for vthe fitting after cutting and embossing, but before bending up. y
Fig. 4 is a similar view ot analternative form of blank. Y
Fig. 5 is an isometric section of a fitting for an outside wall.
In the embodiment of the invention selected for illustration in Fig. 1, the complete fitting comprises a central portion 10 adapted to under-lie the wall structure itself and embossed at 12 to secure a hrm grip in the mortar 14 at the bottom of the wall. The base board 16 is nailed to grounds 18 and the short tang 2O extends first upwardly as at 22 to the outer lower corner of the ground, then vertically as at 24 across part of the face of said ground and horizontally as at 26, the inner edge of the Carpet strip 28 being suitably fastened to the under surface of said tang by means of a penetrating lug struck out of the metal or. a nail 30.'
corner being suitably filled in by a quarteri round strip 46, covering the carpet tacks 47.
One or both ends of the htt-ing may be formed to Co-operate with a structure employing only one ground as at 48. In such a construction the carpet strip 50 has its wall edge beveled atl 52 to lie in contact with theshort tang which extends up over the bevelat 54 and across the top 56. The base` board 1G is now preferably set directly on the carpet strip 50 lfor convenient attachment by nails 58 driven in diagonally. The carpet terminates at 6() and the quarterround strip 46 is attached precisely as before. This provides a firm and strong -sup port for the lower edge of the base board 16 and saves thel use of an additional ground.
As clearly indicated iii-Fig. 5*, the body portion 10 may be cut oft short at G2 when the wall is an outside wall or when it is preferable to stagger the fittings and have the anchorage at one side independent of that at the other side of the wall in case of reconstruction goingn on on one side. and not onthe other.
The littings are ordinarily made up and sold in the form shown in Fig. 3 and the carpenter installing the nailing strip and base board bends the tangs into place. ThisV greatly facilitates shipment and also eliminates trouble due to slight variations in the wall dimensions which might spoil the fit of devices previously bent up.
`Withoutvfurther elaboration, the foregoing will so fully explain the gist of my invention, that others may, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt the same for useunder various conditions of service, and for manufacture according to various methods. Thus the blank of F ig. y3 can be manufactured in quantity out of strip sheet metal, the 0E set at the end fitting in the off set at the end of the next blank so that no material at all is wasted, whereas the blank of Fig. 4 would have duplicate blanks at each end thereof but facing the other way. Using a proper automatio feed such blanks could be Cut by 'punching every alternate bla11lr,the scrap between blanks also forming additional blanks. In case fastening strip 28 were of metal, spot Welding, clinching or any other suitable means of attachment could be employed. In certain types of con-V struction Wiros or small rods may be found preferable to sheet material. These and many other modifications and alterations may readily be made by those. skilled in the art Without eliminating certain features which may properly be said to constitute the essential items or' novelty involved, which items are intended to be deiined and secured to me by the 'following claims.
' I claim l. A building comprising two dividing structures forming a dihedral angle, one
structure abutting the other, and the other being continuous Ypastv the abutting` edge, a fitting` embedded in the joint along' the plane or abutment and projecting,l at both ends i therefrom, a longand a short tang ateach around said Carpet strip and attached tok the upperace thereof,- said short tang extending up over the inner edge of said carpet strip and being fastened thereto.` f f 3, A buildingV comprising two structures, one structure abutting; the other, a fitting embedded in the joint along the plane of abutment and havinga tang projecting therefrom, a Wooden carpetstrip, the end of theV tang?` extending up over the inner edge of said carpet strip and being fastened ,p'et strip attached to the projecting fitting,
a base board having its lower edge attached to and supported by said carpet strip, and a ground abutting and supporting said base boardnear its upperedge, said base board being,` entirely supported by ysaid ground and said carpet strip.
5. A fitting comprising a body portion adapted to be embedded in a Wall joint, a short tano projecting' from one end of said body to overlie a nailing," strip and hold it in and down, a long tang` projecting 'from the same end to underlie said strip and :pass around the remote 'edge thereof to hold it in, and similar short and long tangs at the opposite end of saidbody to hold a strip'on the opposite side ot' said Wall.
6, ii fitting comprising a body port-ion adapted to be embeddedV in a Wall joint, a short tang projecting,r from one end of 'said body o overlie a nailing stripl and hold it in and doivn,rand a long tang projecting trom'y the saine endto underlie said strip and pass around the remote edge thereof to hold it in. j
7. A iitting comprising;` a portion adapted to be embedded in a Wall joint and to project therefrom, the projecting portion oom'f prising' means for overlying the out-er edge of a nailing strip and a short tang 'spaced t'roinrthe end vof the projecting portion' -to over-liethe inner edge ot Said nailing strip;
8. A tting lcomprising` a body portion adapted to be embedded in a Wall joint, andY tivo diii'erent fastening;- means projecting from one end of said body, one fastening 'means comprising means 'for overlying a nailing strip, and` the other comprising means for lying under and over such a strip.
In Witness'whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name thisr 29th day of January, 1925. LOUIS M. NELSON, JR.
