My invention relates to trussed' structures, which may be used as walls, but which are particularly adapted for use as ioors and/0r roofs in residential, office, commercial, and industrial buildings and the like.
More particularly my invention relates to 'cellular trussed structures preferably made of formed sheet or strip, metal, preferably steel.
Most floor structures include joist members spanning between and being supported at their ends on bearing members which may be bearing walls or may be beams or girders which in turn are supported at their ends upon other beams or girders or upon columns or bearing walls. c
The joint members are laterally spaced from each other, and support upon their upper chords or flanges some form of oor- 0 ing or roofing, and may carry below their lower chords or lianges some form of ceiling.
Many dilferent types of metal joists have been proposed for use in iioor structures, and the flooring used for such joists is usually some form of concrete slab usually laid upon metal lath supported by the joists, or may be wood flooring secured directly to the joists.
In any event, steel j oists are relatively diiicult to fabricate for variable spans and variable loadings, and the placement of steel joists with the accompanying flooringv in a building is relatively diiicult and usually requires specially skilled labor for any particular type of joi'st floor structure,
Moreover, the complete l'loor including the joists and the ooring and the ceiling, requires the assemblage of" materials usually 40 from two diiferent sources, since the manufacturers of joists rarely supply the necessary materials forthe liooringsand the ceiling.
The objects of the present improvements 5 -include in general the provision of a cellular trussed structure including interlitting chord and web members, .for use primarily in buildings, and which may extend between and be supported by frame members of the building, and which may form preferably a o load sustaining partition between the frame members, such partition, when extending verincludes a plurality of interlocking and in- ,terlitting members, all of which are preferably made of sheet or strip material, preferably of steel, and which result in a completed floor structure having liooring above, ceiling below, and intertting and interlocking joist 55 members between the Iflooring and ceiling members, whereby the improved Hoor structure may be placed in a building by the use of relatively unskilled labor, and such door structures being adapted for variable spans and for variable loadings without necessitating excessive'y engineering and design cost.
Further objects of the present improvements include the pro-vision of a trussed cellular structure adapted for use as a lioor structure and including intertting members, .the several members being adapted for easy and economical manufacture, and being adapted for easy and economical erection in the banding. f 8
Further objects of the invention include ,the provision of a. floor structure enabling the elimination of the use of concrete in many types of buildings.
83 These and other objects are attained by the present invention, thenovel features of which are particularly set forth in the appended claims. r f
Preferred embodiments of my invention -of my invention; and
are illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part thereof, in wh1ch t Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of a floor structure embodying the present improvements; 4

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
ma be load7 re- While the present improvements used in the walls o f buildings, the sisting truss action of the improvements 1s best attained in floors, and accordinglyone floor structure embodying the present im- Erovements is indicated generally at 10 1n igs. 1, 2, and'3, and preferably includes a.
plurality of panels each indicated generally at 11, and each Apanel includes a plurality of side by side longitudinally4 and laterally extending chord wall members 12, longitudinally and transversely extending web wall members 13, and longitudinally extending angled panel side mem ers 14a and 146.
Some of the chord wall members 12 are l0- cated infan upper plane and determine a floor wall, and some of the chordwall members 12 are located in a lower plane and determine a ceiling wall, and the web wall members 13 extend angularly between the spaced chord wall members 12 and form with the s aced chord wall members 12, a plurality of side by side longitudinally. extending triangular cells 15.
The chord wall members 12 are preferably made of formed sheet or strip material, whereby the floor wall is continuous across each panel, and likewise the ceiling wall is `continuous across each panel, and in certain classes of buildings such as industrial buildings, require no further covering. When desired however, a relatively7 shallow lay of Inaterial, such as asphalt, linoleum, fibreboard, or the like, may be used to surface the floor wall, and/or ceiling wall.
The web wall members 13 may be made of formed sheet or stripmetal, as illustrated, or may be built up trussed joist structures when desired. l
Each chord wall member 12 includes preferably at each side a longitudinally extending fla-nge 16; and the flanges 16 are angular to the web 17 of the chordwall member 12, and extending from one face thereof and towards each other, and each flange forming with the web a hook.

' For increasing the rigidity and carrying capacity of the panel, the side members 14a and 146 are provided; and the side member 14a includes a lower ceiling web 21a having a longitudinally extending hook flange 22a at one side, and having a beam'web 23a at the other side thereof, and the outer side of the beam web is provided with a longitudinally extending abutment flange 24a.
Similarly the side member 146 includes a lower ceiling web 216 having a longitudinally extending flange 226 at one side, and having a beam web 236 at the other side thereof, and the outer side of the beam web is provided with a longitudinally extending abutment flange 246.
The side members 14a and 146 are provided for making a longitudinally extending rectangular panel.
Laterally extending end members 25 are preferably provided for each panel`11, and each end member 25 has a laterally extending recess 26 formed therein into which the ends of the longitudinally extending members are fitted.
Each panel also preferably includes a plurality of laterally spaced tension members 27 arranged for applying a compression load on the longitudinally extending members, and as illustrated each tension member 27 is preferably in the form of a tie rod threaded at each end and extending through apertures in the end members 25, and each threaded end of each tie rod being provided with a nut 28 each nut abutting against the outer face of an end member, and, bein screwed against i the end member for app ying the desired ing through apertures in the members 13 and the beam webs 23a and 235 of the side members 14a and 146, and each threaded end of the tie rod is provided with a nut 31, each nut abutting and being screwed against the outer face of one of the panel side members.
