METAL TILE STRUCTURE Filed Feb. 11, 1926 Wian7/"1.Goldsr17ifh 1 W 2 l atbozwegtv- Patented June 17, 1930 Units WILLIAM M. GOLDSLIITH, OF CINCIHNATI,
OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE GOLDSMITH METAL LATH COMPALIY, 0F CINCINNATI, 01-110, A CORPORATION OF OHIO METAL-TILE STRUCTURE Application filed February 11, 1926. Serial No. 87,661.
This invention relates to metal tile structures for use in concrete flooring construction andhas for an object the provision of a tile provided with means whereby said tiles may be assembled with strips of metal lath or other ceiling forming material on the ground and prior to positioning of the tiles upon a temporary support structure.
Another object is to provide a structure of this kind which is simple and inexpensive of manufacture.
Another object is to provide a structure of this kind which is easy to assemble and posi' tion.
Another object is to provide a tile unit of the class described by the use of which the usual concrete beams and floor may be provided and wherein the ceiling for the floor be low in condition for receiving plaster, will be provided with the same operation.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a flooring structure embodying tile units of my invention, parts being broken away.
Fig. 2 is a modified form of the tile unit of my invention.
As shown in Fig. 1 a supporting structure comprising shoring 8, stringers 9 and sofiits 10, is erected and upon the soffit boards are positioned the units of my invention. Each unit comprises a metal tile 11 having usual side walls 12 provided with longitudinal straight edges 13. Upon each of the outer faces of the side walls 12 are provided a plurality of spaced lugs or mounting strips 14 spot welded, riveted or otherwise secured to the side walls as at 15. The mounting strips or lugs 14: have a portion 16 extending beyond the longitudinal straight edges 13 of the tile to provide a securing means each of which may be provided with a plurality of spaced perforations 17 aligned at right angles to the sides 12 of the tile. The tiles 11 having mounting strips 14 thereon may be prepared at the factory and are readily nestable so that they may be conveniently packed and shipped.
In the modification shown in Fig. 2, a second series of lugs 18 may be provided on the inner faces of the sides 12. The mounting strips 1i and lugs 18 may be of a comparatively light gauge metal and are therefore flexible so that they may be left to extend in parallelism with the sides 12 when the tiles are nested.
lNhen it is desired to construct a floor and ceiling, the supporting structure, as hereto-' fore described, has positioned thereon a plurality of the tile structures of my invention to which strips of metal lath 19 have been secured. The securing of the metal lath or other ceiling material is performed upon the ground prior to positioning the tile and is accomplished by bending the portions 16 of the mounting strips about the longitudinal edges 20 of the sheets of ceiling material 19. When metal lath or other reticulated ceiling material is used, the sofiits 10 may be provided with guide lines 21 and given ones of the perforations 17 in the portion 16 may be positioned along the guide line 21 thereby materially facilitating positioning of the tiles and accurately determining the width of the beam to be formed between the sides of adjacent tiles. Nails 22 are then driven through the perforations 17 for retaining the tiles in their adjusted positions during the pouring of the concrete. This feature is shown and claimed in my copending application, Serial #557,180, filed February 9, 1926.
In the modification shown in Fig. 2 the strip of ceiling material is cut to a width substantially equal to the distances between the inner opposite faces 12 of the tile and the inner lugs 18 are bent inwardly to support said ceiling material. As shown in Fig. 2
the ceiling material comprises a sheet of gypsum board or other solid material, although either solid or'reticulated ceiling material may be used with either of the modifications shown. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the mounting strips 14 are used solely for accurately positioning the tiles 11 with guide lines 21 on the soflits 10.
After a floor has been poured and has be come set, the support structure comprising shoring 8 and stringers 9 may be removed whereupon the soflits 10 are pulled down. The underside or ceiling which is thus formed presents a true plane surface ready to be plastered without further preparation, since the plaster may be applied to the bottom surfaces of the beams and to the lath or ceiling board spanning the spaces between beams.
What I claim is:
1. A metal tile structure comprising a U-shaped tile having straight edges, a sheet of ceiling material extending between the straight edges of the tile, and bendable mounting strips on the tile and turned about the longitudinal edges of the ceiling .material for associating the tile and lath.
2. In a device of the class described the combination of a U-shaped metal tile having straight edged side walls, bendable straps secured in spaced relation along the edges of said sidewalls, and a substantially flat sheet of ceiling material positioned in a plane With the straight edges of the tile and secured to the tile by bending said straps about thelongitudinal edges of the ceiling material.
'3. In a device of the class described the combination of a U-shaped metal tile having straight edges, straps on said tiles adapted to receive securing means for mounting the tiles, and asheet of ceiling material disposed across the straight edges of the tile and secured thereto by bending the straps about fopposed edges of said sheet.
4:. In a device ofthe class described the combination ofa U-shaped metal tile, a sheet of ceiling material positioned in a plane with the straight edges of the tile and bendable means on the tile adapted to be turned beneath the ceiling material for securing said material to the tile.
5. In a concrete floor in the course of con struction, a series of soflit boards, a series of lugs secured in parallel rows on the soffit boards, a series of rows of metal tiles positioned in between adjacent rows of lugs and attached thereto and metal lath supported by the lugsbeneath the tile. 1
6. The combination with a U-shaped metal tile, of a strip of ceiling material, and spaced means carried by the tile on opposite sides thereof for securing the ceiling material to the tile and for receiving holding means for securing the tile.
7. In a device of the class described the combination with spaced soflits of a U-shaped metal tile having depending straight edges, a sheet of ceilingmaterial positioned in a plane with the straight edges of the tile and bendable members on the tile adapted for turning beneath the ceiling material for securing said material to the tile and for receiving fastening means whereby the tile is secured in between the soffits.
8. In a concrete floor and ceiling in course of construction the combination of temporary centering, lath inverted U shape tiles over the latch, the latch extending between the lower edges of the tiles for providing a plaster receiving surface beneath the tiles, connector means between the lath and the tiles for fixing the lath to the tile and to preclude same against relative movement, fastening means for temporarily securing the associated tiles, lath and connector means I I CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION.
