The present invention pertains to a novel building construction concerning principally the outside walls and roof. v
The principal object of the invention is to a utilize metal studding and joists in these parts of a'building instead of the wooden studding' and joists which are usually employed. The inventionprovides further for novel means of supporting and anchoring the wall and roof construction, and for the formation of dead air or insulating spaces at the walls and roof.
An important feature of the invention is that the metal used for the studding and joists ma be of standard or stock dimensions rea y to be cut into'the desired lengths. It will be seen that the invention does not reuire the fabrication of specially shaped or dimensioned sections of metal. Stock material may be delivered-to the job and there cut into proper lengths as needed.
The invention is fully disclosed by way of example in the following description and in the accompanying drawing, in which-'- Figure 1 is a vertical section through a wall and roof construction according to the invention;
Fig. 2-is a horizontal section on the line 22 of Figure 1;
on the line 3-3 .ofFigure 1;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of asomewhat modified wall construction,
broken away in parts for the purpose of illustration;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail in perspective of the construction shown in Figures 1 and 2; and
Fig. 6 is an inside elevation of the wall,
in several places for the purpose of illustration.
Reference to these views will now be made by use of like characters which are employed to desi nate corresponding parts throughout.
In igure 1 is illustrated a concrete foundation 1 which may be made by usual methods and on which is laid a bottom plate 2, preferably of angle iron, and anchored to the foundation by 'hooks 3. On the plate 2 1s mounted a series of studs 4 which in turn- Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the roof are surmounted byan upper plate 5 extending horizontally over their ends and suitably riveted thereto as clearly shown in Figure 1. It will be seen that the angular formation of the members 2 and 5 prevents the studs from falling forwardly or rearwardly of the roposed wall and further maintains the stu s in vertical position, particularly if riveted to the studs and when a roof structure is supported on' the top plate.
At suitable intervals representing the distance between floors, angle bars 2- are secured across the studding in horizontal position, and the ends of floor joists 5 are secured upon the angle irons. Asuitable floor structure 5"" is built on the joists.
On the foundation 1, outwardly of the studding is built a facing 6 which in Figure 1 consists of brickveneer laid in horizontal courses in the usual manner. Horizontal furring rods 7 are supported by the studs 4 at definitely spaced intervals and are held by wire clips 8. The studs 4 are preferably of angular forma tion, although other standard sections may be used, and in this case the clip consists merely of a wire doubled to pass around the rod and having its ends bent as at 9 over one of the edges of the angle stud. The clip is thus slidable on the stud 4 to permit adjustment of the rod 7 to the desired height and is tightened by driving a nail 10 between itand the side of the angle parallel to the facing as shown more clearly in Figures 1 and 4. This arrangement causes spaces to be formed between the wire and the stud atopposite sides of the nail, and these spaces are used for a purpose which will presently a pear.
The object of the furring ro s is to aid in sup orting the facing 6 from the studs. Accor 'ngly, strips of expanded metal or lath 11 are folded over the rods and inserted in the mortar 12 between courses of brick as clear- 1 ly shown in Figure 1. In this manner the facing is anchored to the studdin A layer of mortar or plaster 13 is applie to the inner side of the facing to serve as wind bracing.
In the modification shown in Figure 4 the brick is replaced by a facing of stucco plaster 14. In this case 7 the attachment between the facing and the rods consists of metal lath 15 laid vertically against the furrin rods 7 and attached thereto by twisted wire 16. After the facing has thus been applied to the lath, the facing is further built up at the back for wind bracing by a layer 17 of the same material applied to the exposed side of the lath 15.
Prior to applying the channels 21 and 22, the ties 23 are passed around-the clip 8, and the hole 20 is filled with quick setting plastic material which secures the board 18 temporarily to the stud 4, until the ties 23'are tightened on the channels.
Wall boards or lath may now be applied to the channels 22 to form an air space defined by the channels 21 and 22, but the width of the air space may be still further increased, if desired, by applying vertical furring members 24 at right angles to the members 22 as shown in Figure 2. In the latter case wire ties 25 are used to tie the members 24 to the furring 22. Metal lath 26 or plaster board is now laid and tied against the furring 24, and the final wall plaster 27 is applied to the metal lath.
It will be apparent that the wall structure thus built extends merely between joists and fails to enter the spaces between the upper and lower planes of any given joist. Thus, there will remain certain bare strips extending horizontally of the wall and having the width of the joists. spaces shall not constitute weak spots in the wall insulation, they are filled with suitable In order that these insulating material 28 against the studding as shown in Figures 1 and 6.
The roof structure also has a metallic frame consisting of metal rafters 29 secured to the upper plates 5 by means of brackets 30. Wall boards 31 are laid directly beneath the'rafters 29 which are preferably angular, and are held thereagainst by channel members 32 tied to the angle members by wire clips 33. It will be seen in Figure 3 that, as in Figure 5, the joints between plaster boards are brought against the rafters 29 in which case the channels 32 eifectively cover the joints to preventleakage. Coarse light wire mesh 3a is laid over the rafters and permitted to sag therebetween. The rafters are buried in loose insulating material 35 such as a mixture of wood shavings and gypsum plaster. and roofing paper 36 is laid thereon. T he roof is now finished by shingles 37 laid over the paper 36. Light channel furring and metal lath may be attached to the underside of the roof construction in the same manner as described in connection with the walls if inside plastering is desired directly beneath the roof construction.
Angle iron is recommended for the studding and rafters inasmuch as it is adapted to have one side flush against the plaster boards and thus disposed inwardly, thereby bring only an edge, and hence a comparatively small area, into contact with the outer part of the wall structure, so that the conductivity at this contact is considerably reduced.
Although specific embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be understood that various alterations in the details of construction may be made without departing from the scope of the in- 1 vention as indicated by the appendedclaims.
What I claim is 1. A building construction comprising studding, a clip slidable thereon, a furring rod carried by said clip, and means for tightening said clip on said rod.
