CLIP non. BEADING ONSTRUC ION.

Application filed September 10, 1927. Serial No. 218,704.

My invention relatesto a clip for use in con unctlon with the constructlon of "corner beading of walls, and the same relates more particularly to an adjustable clipwhich may be readily adjusted to the desired gage after having first been secured in place.

In modern construction oi buildings the wall construction is provided with metallic beading at all corners to prevent the same from becoming distorted. Clip devices have been employed in securing these beadings after being positioned correctly by a suitable plumb-line. These clips have been totally inadequate, due to the fact that.

they are very diflicult to adjust. They frequently slip on the metal lathing or other plaster holding surface creating the necessity for considerably more expenditure oi labor and time. p

An object of my invention is to overcome any difiiculties arising as to the adjustment of these clips, for after my clip has once been applied and secured in place, the same may be readily adjusted irrespective of its attachment to either the beading strip or plaster holding material.

Another object of my invention resides in the fact that the same comprises but two elements.

Other objects and advantages of my improved clip will become apparent as the same is better understood from the specification and claims to follow.

In the drawing Figure 1 represents a face elevation of my clip, showing the same in applied position in' respect to the beading strip and plaster lathing.

Figure 2 represents a section through the corner beading showing my improved clip in position thereon. The same is illustrated in respect to the section of a plumb-cord and taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a cross section through the clip and taken substantially on the line 3-8 of Figure 1.

For a more detailed description of my invention, I now refer to the drawings in which like numerals designate like parts. In Figure 1 of the drawing, my clip is shown in applied position in respect to a corner beading strip 1, formed with the usual corner bead and the right angular disposed flanges 2. These flanges are formed with a multiplicity of spaced alined openings 3 into which one end of myv clip isadapted to become atfixed. The opposite end and section of my clip is secured to the plaster holding material, of any construction or material now in use. More particularly, my clip comprises a pair of sections 4 and 5 re spectively. Section 4 is formed with an elongated rectangular opening 6. A pair of lugs 7 and 8 respectively, are formed by an inward arcuate cut 9 at each side of the section adjacentone end. These lug members extend outwardly from the plate on the same side, and hence backwardly to a plane in spaced parallelism to the same section. The upper lug 7 is adapted to fit through one of the openings 8, and hook behind the beading'flan e 2, while the opposite lug 8 is adapted to bear against the backside of the flange the same also bearing against the free edge of the flange. The clip must be held at a slight offset, after the lug 7 has been. placed in position, in order to pass the lug 9 over the free edge of the flange.

The opposite section 5 of my clip is formed with a plurality of spurs or struck-out openings 10 through which a tie element may be inserted for securing the same to a mesh plaster surface. However, if the surface to which the plaster is to be applied is capable of holding a driven nail, then said section is secured by inserting nails through these openings for securingthe section. At

one end of the section 5 a pair of flange members 11 are adapted to extend through the opening 6 in the section 4:, and then bent outwardly as is clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawing. 4 and 5 respectively are slidably connected together. On the inner sides of the flanges 11 are located a plurality of teeth or spurs 12, which when the sections have been adjusted to the desired gage are driven into the sections t for retaining said sections fixed.

In applying myclip to use, I first have the corner beading erected and gaged by a plumb-line indicated at 13. The lugs 7 and 8 are then hooked behind the flange 2 ofthe beading strip, while the other section, 5, is. secured to the plaster-holding surface. I now have both ends of my clip secured to the structure, and as is-the occasion many times, it now becomes necessary to arrange the gage to the beading strip. In re-gaging this beading strip very"frequently it has been found that it is necessary to reset the same.

In this position the sections In order to do this with the old-type clip in use, considerable trouble resulted. In my device the same is never locked until this regaging has taken place, then the teeth or spurs 12 on the inner side of the flanges .11 are driven into the section 4. In this position my clip is locked against any slipping, but in any instance Where it is found the further resetting of the beading is necessary, these flanges may be pried open and the clip readjusted.

Having thus described my invention, what I claimas new is 1. In a clip for securing corner beading strips formed with spaced opening, and in respect to a plaster lathing comprising a pair of sections slidably connected together, a lug formed at one end of one of the sections adapted for engagement with the beading strips through one of the openings therein, and the opposite sect on adapted to be se cured to the plaster lathing, and construction associated with said section for locking the same against slidable relation.

2. In a clip for securing corner beading strips formed with openings therein and in respect to a plaster lathing comprising a pair of sections slidably connected. together, an

' oiiset lug formed adjacent one end of one of said sections, said lug adapted for locked engagement with the heading strip through one of the opemngs therein, said other seetion being "formed with a plurality of openings and adapted to be secured to the plaster lathing, and fiangemembers formed on the second mentioned edge section-adapted to overlap the first mentioned edge section to connect the same in slidable relation to each other.

3. In a clip for securing corner beading strips formed with openings therein, and in respect to a plaster lathing comprising a pair of sections slidably connected together, an oilset lug formed adjacent one end of one of the sections, said sections being further formed with an elongated opening therein, said lug adapted for hooked engagement with the beading strip through one of the openings therein, said other section being formed with a plurality of openings and adapted to be secured to the plaster lathing, outwardly bent flanges formed at the inner side of the second mentioned edge section through the elongated.

adapted to extend opening in the firstmentioned edge section and in overlapping relation with the sides thereof, said flanges being provided With spurs on the inner sides thereof adapted to be driven against the first mentioned edge. section for locking the same against slidable movement in respect to the other section.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
