UNITED STATES ISAAC A. BAUM, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
METAL FRAME AND SUPPORT THEREOF.
Application filed May 5,
My invention relates to framing for wall openings and particularly to an improvement on or addition to the structure disclosed and claimed in my co-pending application Serial No. 248,156, tiled January 20,1928.
In the strinture of my said co-pending application, I disclosed means for facilitating the joining of the vertical and transverse'members of a metal frame by the use of a wood block held at the intersection, and nails or other fastening devices extending through the overlapping portions of the metal irame members at their junctions and being seated in the wood block. The invention here disclosed relates to a similar construction but in which the wood block is extended vertically and serves as a convenient means for bracing or holding the metal frame in proper position prior to the laying or iinishing of the wall within which the frame is mounted.
Vhile metal frames corresponding to rough bucks are desirable from many angles yet the means for mounting or holding the frame in its initial position before the wall is laid has required considerable time and material that has oiset somewhat the economy in the use of metal bucks. In the construction here disclosed the matter of installation is extremely simple. The respective vertical and horizontal members of the frame are constructed in the shop and shipped separately to the job. They are there assembled on the floor with long blocks extending upwardly from the junctions of members and the long wood members are nailed to the ceiling after the parts have been properly aligned. In tile wall construction the wood members are sawed off at the upper limits of the frame after the masonry has reached a point near the top of the frame. In wood frame construction the wood members are left in place and act as a support for wall elements.
My invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which-` F ig. 1 is a side elevation ot' a trame structure arranged in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a large sectional elevation of a corner thereof, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the line 3 3 0f Fig. 2. Y
In the drawing, Iv have illustrated a frame member consisting of vertical element A,
1928. Serial N O. 275,433.
and a horizontal element B, both ol' which are of generally channel shape, as best shown in Fig. 3. At its ends the element B is provided with angle shaped plates 10, one leg of the angle of which is welded to a side i'lange of the element B while the other leg of the plate overlaps a side iange of the element A. Registering holes are provided in t-he overlapping metal elements and nails 11 are passed through the holes and into a Wood member 12 which may be in the -form of a 2 x 4. Holes at other points in the side flange of the frame member A provide for nails 13 that serve as independent holding means for the wood and metal members. Preferably an abutment or shelf 14 is mounted on the inside ot' the channel member A, by riveting or welding, and the lower end of the 2 x 4 rests thereon. The wood member extends upwardly to a point in contact with or adjacent to a ceiling l5 and after the parts are positioned the wood member is nailed either to a block 1G or toenailed to the ceiling.
If the wall is of tile or masonry construction the wood members will be sawed olf at the dotted line 17 When the masonry has reached a point near the top of the frame. Or, if desired, a hole 1"(a may be made in the wood member at a point beneath the web of the element B, and a keyhole used for cutting olf the wood member so that it will not interfere with the tile. If the wall is to be of wood or composite construction the wood elements are left in place and additional'wood elements areV installed as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1. These wood elements comprise a horizontal member 18 that lies on the web of the element B and is held by through the struck out lugs 20 from said member. In addition, I provide the vertical struts 21 and horizontal braces 22, all of which are of common construction.
By the use of the means described a metal frame may be installed and aligned with the minimum of labor and material and the real economy in the use of metal bucks is effected.
1. In combination, vertical and horizontal buck members having overlapping portions at their junctions, a wood element mounted in a frame at the junction of said elements and extending vertically from said junction and adapted to be secured to the ceiling.
2. The combination with the vertical and saw may be v means of nails 19 that'pass I @i Leganes/.L
horizontal niet-al members of a frame having; overlapping portions at their junctions, of a Wood member seated in the frame at said junction, fastening means passing through the overlapping' portions into sad Wood member, said Wood member extendingvertically beyond the junction and adapted to be secured to the ceiling for holding the frame during the iinishing ofthe Wall.
3. In Wall construction, the combination of a metal frame hav-ing overlapping portions at thejunction of its members, a Woodl member mounted in Jche trame at said junction, fastening means extending through the metal members into the Wood, member, said Woodl member projecting; upwardly to the ceiling and adapted to be secured thereto.
el. ln combination, vertical and horizontal trame members of generally channel shape, one of said. members having ank angular end projection adapted to cooperate with another frame member in overlapping relation, a Wood block seated in the channel of a vertical frame member and projecting upwardly toward the ceiling and adapted to be secured thereto, and fastening means passing through the cooperating portions of the frame and into said Wood member.
ln combination, channel shaped frame members having overlapping portions, a
wood block mounted in the channel ofa vertical :trame member, a thrust block. or shelr` servingl asa lower support for said Wood member, said Wood member projecting up Wardly beyond the frame and adapted to be ISAAC A. BAUlvl.
