Description
April 1, 1930. w. F. ZABRISKIE SECURING CLIP FOR METALLIC LATH Filed Feb 20, 1928 71622 zzzmZZaZraszi za Patented Apr. 1, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE;
WILLIAM F. ZABRISKIE, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO GABRIEL STEEL'COM- PANY, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, A CORPORATION OF MICHIGAN SECURING CLIP FOR METALLIC LATH Application filed February 20, 1928. Serial No. 255,849.
The invention relates to a means for securing metallic lath or open mesh fabric to floor and ceiling joists and consists in the novel construction of a securing clip and in the method of attaching the same as hereinafter set forth.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the clip.
Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof.
Figure 3 is a plan view.
Figure 4 is a side elevation showing the manner of first engaging the clip with the metallic lath.
Figure 5 is a similar view after the clinching operation.
Figures 6 and 7 are perspective views of the clip engaging the fabric respectively before and after the clinching operation.
In the construction of reinforced concrete floors and also in the construction of ceilings it is usual to employ a metallic lath which is arranged adjacent to the floor or ceiling joists.
These joists are usually formed of metallic bars or structural shapes such as Ibeams channel beams, etc., and the lath is laid adj acent to either the upper or lower flange of such beams according to whether it is a floor or ceiling construction. It is necessary, however, to firmly attach the lath to the beams which I accomplish in the following manner: A is a clip preferably formed of wire having a horizontal portion B and parallel prongs C, C for insertion through the mesh of the latter. The prongs G are connected to the horizontal portion B through the medium ofloops D, D projecting oppositely from the prongs and preferably at an oblique angle thereto as shown in Figures 13.
To attach the lath by such clips the prongs :3 C, C are inserted through apertures in the lath so as to embrace the flange of the beam which as indicated in Figure 4 is an I-beam E. The workman then engages lever arms with the upwardly projecting loops D, D
43 preferably pipe sections which may be sleeved over said loops and which therefore extend obliquely and crossing each other.
When thus engaged the lever arms are moved outward into the position indicated in Figure 5 which bends the loops D, D from an inwardly extending oblique position to an outwardly extending oblique position. At the same time the prongs C, C will be swung inward into the position shown in Figure 5 where they are clinched to the under side of the flange of the beam.
The operation just described is used in floor construction where the metallic lath is laid on top of the beams. In ceiling construction the only difference is that the lath is arranged on the under side of the beam but is secured in precisely the same manner.
lVhile I have described my improved clip as formed of bent wire it is obvious that it might be constructed of any other suitable. material.
lVhat I claim as my invention is:
1. A clip for securing an open mesh fabric to a supporting member comprising a body portion for lying adjacent to the fabric having prongs at the opposite ends thereof for insertion through the mesh of the fabric to embrace the supporting member and portions intermediate said prongs and said body portion projecting on the opposite side of the. fabric and bendable relative to said body portion to carry said prongs into clinching position.
2. A clip for securing an open mesh fabric to a supporting member comprising a body portion for lying adjacent to the fabric, parallel prongs at the opposite ends of said body portion insertable through the mesh of the fabric to embrace the supporting member and portions intermediate said prongs and body. portion extending obliquely on the opposite side of the fabric and bendable relative to said body portion to carry said prong into clinching position.
3. A clip for securing an open mesh fabric to a supporting member comprising a wire bent to form substantially parallel prong portions, return bent loops extending oppositely from said prongs and obliquely thereto and a central portion connecting said loops for the purpose described.
4:. A clip for'securing an open mesh fabric to a supporting member comprising a portion bearing against the outer face of the fabric, a prong portion insertable through the fabric,
a portion also outside of said fabric integral with and intermediate said prong portion and first mentioned outer portion and bendable in relation to the latter to carry said prong into clinching engagement with said support ing member, and means for holding said outer portion from movement to disengage said clinched prong.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
VILLIAM F. ZABRISKIE.
