FURRING BRACKET.
Application filed August 29, 1927. Serial No. 216,110.
My invention relates to improvements in furring brackets adapted for securing wire lath to the wall sheathingof stucco structures; and an objectof the invention is the provision of furring brackets that may be formed of single strips of wire fixedly at tached at intervals to the lath prior to'the application of the latter to, the wall sheathing, cooperable with a nail for securing the lath in spaced order to said sheathing.
W'iththe foregoing and other objects and purposes in view which will appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment-of the invention herein disclosed can be made within thescope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings Figure lis a face or plan view of a portion of wire lath secured by two of the present furring brackets to a portion of,
the wall sheathing of a stucco structure;
Figure 2 is an enlarged view approximately on line 22 of Fig. 1, and a sectional view of stucco material applied thereto;
Figure 3 is a plan view of one of the brackets attached to a fragmental portion of the wire lath; and
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the furring brackets detached from the wire lath, and a fragmental portion of the wall sheathing.
Referring to the drawings 'in detail, throughout which like reference characters designate like parts: i
The numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4, designate the wall sheathing, wire lath, furring brackets, and stucco composition, respectively.
The wall sheathing 1 comprises preferably, boards secured in closely jointed order across the face of the studding and like frame timbers of the structure, and may, I if desired, be provided with an exterior covering or surfacing of building paper 5 to prevent any moisture that may penetrate the stucco composition from the exterior from penetrating to the woodwork of the,
structure. The application of the building paper 5 is however optional, as the lath 2 may be secured by the furring brackets dl'? sheathing, when the same is hereinafter used, shall include any paper covering or surfacing that may be applied to the wall sheathing prior to the application of the lath thereagainst. o
The wire lath 2, constitutes in the present instance what is commonly known as poultry netting, embodying; single zigzagged wires 2 twisted together at regular intervals thereby forming inter-twistedportions 2",.and may be made up in strips of any suitable width and length. It has been found that. when it is made up. in strips aboutthree feet wide and about fifty. feet long, it forms a bundle when rolled up that is convenient to handle during transportation as well as convenient/when unrolled for application to the walls of a structure; The interstices or meshes of the lath may be of such dimensions as found best suited for the work to be performed.
The furring brackets 8 are preferably formed of single stripsof cylindrical wire and comprise, each, a centrally disposed upwardly projecting mid-portion having an S-shaped head embodying two inter-connected nail-receiving loops 6 disposed in a plane substantially parallel with the body of the lath 2 and overlying one of the intertwisted portions 2 thereof, a pair of spaced uprights 7 projecting downwardly fromthe free ends of the loops 6, on opposite sides of said inter-twisted portion, and terminating at their lower ends in opposed outwardly extending bearing members 8, the outer ends of which terminating in upwardly projecting endsup 3orts 9, which terminate at their upper ends in end-loops 10. closely encircling inter-twisted portions 2 on opposite sides of the loops6, and whereby the bracket is fixedly attached .to the lath.
The. furring brackets are preferably attached to the lath 2 at'the factory, and are spaced along thereon at such distances as may be found best suited for the lath used.
It has been found by practice that spacing 1 members 8 against the sheathing and driving ordinary nails 11 through the loops '6 into the sheathing until the heads of the mails (engage it-heiloops and thereby cause the bearing members 8 to seal; :against $118 sheathing (see Fig. 2). One nail of proper dimensions to each bracket is ordinaxri lysufficient, but, if desired, a nail may be projected through each of the loops 6.
After the application of the lath to the wall sheathing, the stucco composition 4 is preferably applied b spreading .it on the sheathing and on an around the lath until a stucco covering of suitable thickness is obtained.
Thebrackets "3 areattached to the lath 2 by means of the end loops 10 tightly .ernbracing i'rrtertwisted portions of the lath. Ifdesired, they may be further secured by subjecting the lath after the application of thexbraclietis thereto, .to galvanization, preferably, by subme'rgingthe lath'in molten zinc composition. f
The loops Gloverlying intertwisted portions of :the lath from the face side thereof, assist the end-supports 9 and the end-loops T0 in holding the lat h against the Wall sheathing after the fastening nail 11 has "been projected a proper distance in the wall sheathing,
I claim:
1. In means of the character described, a tuning bracket of strip formation having its ends fixedly attached to spaced portions of lath, :zind having :a hearingmember inter-- medzimtesaid ends (disposed out of the plane of said lath and having a nail-receiving part overlying another portion of said lath on the opposite side thereof from said bearing member.
2. A furring bracket formed of a strip of wire and comprising, spaced end loops adapted to encircle portions of wire lath, a looped portion intermediate said end loops, and means for integrally connecting together said end loops and said looped por tion, portions of said means adapted to seat against ,a support for holding said 'lath spaced therefrom.
"3. A furring bracket formed of a strip of wire and comprising, a pair of outer loops encircling spaced portions or wire'lath, a pair of bearing members on said bracketlprojedting out from one side of said lath, an S-shaped member on said bracket disposed on the opposite side of said lath, and means on said bracket for integrally connecting said members together.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of August, 1927.
