Description

Dec. 29, 1931. w. EJWHITE SUSPENDED CEILING Filed Feb. 28. 1929 Patented Dec. 29, 1931 UhllTE STTES PATENT OFFICE 7' WILLIAM E. WHITE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO KALMAN STEEL COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF DELAY ARE SUSPENDED CEILING Application filed February 28, 1929.
My invention relates to suspended ceilings and particularly to means for attaching and supporting the furring bars or strips to the main supporting members of the structure.
is customary in installing this type of structure to bind the furring strips to the supporting members by wrapping wire therearonno and twisting the ends. This is a slow and laborious process and its certainty is dependent on the care and skill of the workman.
an object of my invention is to provide simple fastening means that shall accomplish the purpose and which may be quickly applied Without the possibility of error or inaccuracy by the workman. The supporting device comprises a clip consisting of a single length of wire bent to provide a loop within which the bar is received. Right anularly bent portions of the loop overlie the angular supporting member, and sustain the load, hile an extension from one of the legs of the loop is adapted to be bent around and to interlock with the bar to hold the loop in its proper position.
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a supporting member and furring bar, the latter being supported by the clip of my invention;
2 is a perspective View of the clip in the form in which it is installed, the final position of the long leg being indicated in dotted lines;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a similar arrangement in which the supporting mem her is of angle cross section instead of channel shaped as in Fig. 1; and
Fig. e is a perspective view of the clip used in the construction of Fig. 3.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, I have illustrated a main supporting member of channel shape in cross section and a channel shaped furring bar 11. The furring bar is held in Serial No. 343,441.
place by means of a clip consisting of a length of wire bent into a loop the bar being held between the legs 12, 13 and resting on the cross piece 14 constituting the head of the loop.
At a point between their ends, the two legs of the loop are bent at right angles to provide the portions 15, 16 that lie on top of the channel 10 and sustain the load. The leg 12 is substantially longer than the leg 13 and in its original position is continued parallel to the portion 15. \Vhen the clip has been positioned, the long end 17 is bent downward and its hooked end 18 is caused to engage beneath the furring bar 11. The natural resiliency of the wire will insure a firm holding engagement without employing what might be termed spring wire. However, a wire will be employed of suiiicient strength to support the expected load.
In the construction of Figs. 3 and 4 the parts are similar except that the main supporting member 19 is in the form of an angle in cross section. The furring bar 20 is supported by means or" a clip of similar shape having legs 21, 22, portions 23, 24 of which are bent at right angles to lie on top of the horizontal flanges of the angle. The leg 22 is continued diagonally upw rd and when installed the portion 25 is bent over the edge of the vertical flange thence downward with its hooked end 26 overlying the furring bar.
After the long end has been sharply bent over the edge of the supporting member, a
comparatively slight holding engagement will insure the permanency of the attachment and other means than that indicated may serve the purpose of securing the free end of the clip. I therefore do not wish to be limited except as indicated in the appended claim.
I claim:
A clip for suspending furring bars beneath a support, consisting of a length of wire doubled on itself into a loop, the legs of the loop being bent at right angles to lie above said support, one leg being continued on a straight line beyond the point where it passes over the support and terminating in a hook, the length 5 of the long leg being suflicient to enable its being bent sharply downward over the edge of the support in the process of installation and to engage the hook on its free end with one of the elements of the structure the 1G tendency of the leg to return to its original positionserving to retain the hook in place. In testimony whereof I have a-ffixed my signature.
WI LLIAM E. WHITE.
