DOOR FRAMING Filed Feb. 2, 1928 1| 1| H 4 ll 1 1 *ll I) Patented Nov. 26, 1929 UNITED -STATES wines ISAAC A. BA'UM, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS DOOR FRAMING I Application filed February 2, 1928. Serial No. 251,326.

My invention relates to buildings and particularly to means for framing Wall openings therein. The subject matter herein disclosed is an improvement on that of my co-pending application Serial No. 203,385, filed July 5, 1927.

A particular object of my invention is to provide framing of a distinctive character that will materially reduce cost of installa tion as well as the original cost of the materials constituting the framing elements. A particular object is toprovide a steel rough buck and plaster terminal with a one piece jamb and molding and to so relate the parts that the buck constituting the means for outlining the door opening may be accurately set as a preliminary to the placing of the tile and the plastering; of the wall and the combined jamb and molding associated therewith without the necessity for wedging or lining up of the jamb.

The desired result is accomplished by providing a channel shaped steel member hav-' ing means for co-operation with the tile and provided with a flange constituting a plaster terminal, the channel being shaped to receive and hold a wood block, the face of which is substantially flush with the outer plane of the metal member. The jamb may be thereafter nailed directly to the Wood block, and due to the elimination of the possibility of shrinkage, warping, or displacement of the buck, the-jamb may be applied without the usual steps incident to alignment.

My invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective sectional view through a door framing arranged in accordance with my invention, 1

Fig. 2 is a plan section thereof and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the channel constituting the rough buck.

In the drawings I have illustrated a wall consisting of tile 10 and plaster 11. The element corresponding to the rough buck consists of a channel having a wedge 12, flanges 13 and right angularly disposed flangeextensions 14. The parts 14, together with the rebent margins 15 thereof constitute terminals for the plaster, the edge of the part 14 acting as a plaster ground. Lugs. or ears 16v are struck out from the web 12 of the channel to lie parallel to theflanges 18 alongside of the tile 10.. These serve to securely position the channel and tile against relative lateral movement. 7 V

At intervals in theglength ofthe channel, I mount blocks of wood 17 shaped to snugly fit within the channel and preferably held in place by means of nails extending through theflanges'into the wood. The face of the block is preferably flush With the face of the flange extensions 14.

After the steel frame element has been properly positioned and lined up in the usual manner, and the tile wall built up, plastering may be completed in the usual manner. Thereafter a jamb 18 is secured in place by nailing the same directly on to a wood block 17. The iamb preferably has molded edges 19 and lies directly against the-flange extensions 14, no Wedges or other spacing means being necessary or desirable. If desired, the

complete assembly of channel, Wood block and jamb may be applied simultaneously.

It will be seen that in the installation of the structure described, a considerable saving is effected in time and material with the assurance that the door opening will remain stable as the principal supporting part is not subject to warping or shrinkage.

Changes in the form and arrangement of the parts may be made within the scope of my claims, all Without departure from the spirit of my invention.

I claim:

1. In building construction, the combination of a metallic channel shaped rough buck, a wood block held therein and a jamb secured to the wood block and directly abutting the face of the metal buck.

2. In combination, a channel rough buck 2 a a Y 1,737,403

ing outwardly from the edge of the wan, I

a Wood block seated in the channel, and a jamb directly abutting and secured to the Wood block. I

5. In combination, a metal buck of channel shape with the channel flanges projecting outwardly from the edge'o'f the Wall, a Wood block seated in the channel, a jamb directly abutting and securedto the Wood block, and ears struck out of the channel for positioning the channel relative to a Wall.

6. In combination, a metal buck of channel shape With the marginalv edges bent to providea plaster terminal, with the channel flanges projecting outwardly from the'edge of the Wall, a Wood block seated in the channel,- and a jamb' directly abutting and secured to the Wood block. I

Intestimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
