4 Claims.
This invention relatesto building construction, and particularly to the mounting'and support of flat construction units, such as plaster-board, sheet lath, etc., in the building of partitions,
furring, ceilings, etc.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide simple means for mounting such units which are easily applied without the aid of special tools. A further object of the invention is to provide simple means whereby adjacent flat building units maybe supported from each other and at the same time held in spaced relation thereto.
Other objects of the inventionwill appear from the following description, taken inconjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective detail, partly broken away, showing a metal stud and the manner in which plaster-boards are attached thereto to form a partition;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the metal stud shown in Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a perspective detail, partly broken away, showing a furring stud or ceiling support and plaster-board mounted thereon;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4 of Fig. 3;
' Fig. 5 is a perspective detail, partly broken away, showing a partition corner;
Fig. 6 is a section through a corner stud;
Fig. 7 is a ho izontal sectional detail on a larger scale of the construction shown inFig. 1;
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the key used therein;
Fig. 9 is a View similar to Fig. '7 showing the j assembly at a corner;
Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a special form of key used therein;
Fig. 11 is a perspective detail of a corner using a-further modified form of key; V
Fig. 12 is a perspective View of the key;
Fig. 13 is a perspective View of another form of key formed from sheet metal;
Fig. 1a is a perspective view of still another form of key formed from sheet metal; and
Fig. 15 is a perspective view of a sheet metal key adapted for use at a corner.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 7 and 8, the numeral 20 designates a metal stud which may suitably be a channel, the side webs 21 of which are provided .with a vertical series of relatively high narrow openings 22. The flat construction units 23, which may suitably be sheets of plaster-board of a width slightly less than the distance between stud centers, are applied to the studs with their adjacent vertical edges slightly spaced to permit suitably be employed.
access to the openings 22, as shown'in Fig. 7, for keying purposes, as will hereinafter appear.
The key 2 1 which is used to secure the vertical edges of the flat units 23 to the studs, may suitably be formed from a length of wire whichis bent to provide a head or flat loop 25 whichis adapted to enter between adjacent vertical edges of the units 23 into one of the openings 22 and be secured therein by rotating the key-to bring-the head 25 into horizontal position.
The head 25 gives into aneck 26 formed by parallel lengths of the wire, which in turn give into, end lengths-27 which are parallel to the head 25 and directed in opposite directions. As will be readily understood from 77, when the key 2 is rotated to secure the head within the opening 22, the lengths 27 are brought into engagement with the outer, faces of the flat'construction units 23 to secure same to .the' studs. Asshown in Fig. 20, any desired'number of keys 2-; may be employed. As shown in Fig. 1, the construction, units 23 may be applied to both 1 sides of the studs'to produce a partition which may be rapidly -ande'xpeditiously constructed.
,The modification shown in, Figs. 3 and is suitable for furring or ceiling construction; The supporting member. or stud maybe channeled and suitably ribbed longitudinally to impart rigidity thereto. The member 28 is provided with a longitudinal series of openings 29. The fiat construction units are secured in the same manner as in the'modiiication above described.
In constructing partitions having corners, a stud 30, of the cross-section shown in Fig. 6, may
This stud provides two connected inside corner faces 31 provided with openings 32 and two connected outside corner faces 33 provided with openings 34:. The two' sets of faces are connected by a vertical web 35 which serves to maintain the standard spacing between the fiat construction units. As will readily be understood from Figs. 5 and 9, only one construction unit abuts adjacent the openings 32 and 34 so that the key 36 employed therewith requires only one end length 37 adapted to engage the surface of a flat construction unit. The other end length of the key 36 may suitably be turned inwardly toward the head 38, as shown at 3t, so as to abut upon one of the faces 31 or 33 as the case maybe. This form of key is best shown in-Figs. 9 and 10.
Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate another form of key which may be employed at the corner of a partition; This key may be formed from wire bent upon itself to provide a double length 10 adapted to engage the face of a Ilat construction unit. One end of the wire is bent inwardly, as shown at ii, to abut upon one of the corner faces 31 or 83. The other end of the wire is bent upwardly, inwardly, and downwardly to provide an end length 42 which is adapted to be passed-through one of the openings of the stud, as shown in l1, and serve to secure the hat construction unit to the stud.
The keys may be made from flat stock, if desired. The key shown in Fig. 13 is formed from a blank of T-shape, thecentral length of whichis bent to provide a neck 43 and an end length 44 which is adapted to be slipped into a stud opening to bring the side arms 45 of the key into engagement with the adjacent edges of adjacent flat construction units. The lower end of the length 44 may be bent obliquely to the rear slightly for ease of application.
The modification shown in Fig. 15 is similar to that shown in Fig. 13, one of the side arms 45 being bent inwardly, as shown at 46, to adapt same for use with a corner stud.
The key shown in Fig. 14 is also made from fiat stock and comprises side arms 47 connected centrally by a neck 48 to a head 49. The neck and head lie in the same plane, which is perpendicular to the plane of the side arms 47. This key is applied in the same manner as the key 24, described above.
- Although the invention has been disclosed in connection with the specific details of preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that such details are'not intended to be limitative of J the invention, except insofar as set forth in the accompanying claims.
I claim: 1. In combination, sheet metal studs having vertical series of relatively high narrow openings, flat construction units applied to the studs with nozaeoc' their adjacent vertical edges spaced to permit access to the openings, and keys having heads adapted to be inserted into the openings and secured to the studs by rotation, and opposed lengths adapted to bear upon the surfaces of adjacent construction units to secured same to the studs.
2. In combination, sheet metal studs having Vertical series of openings, flat construction units applied to the studs with their adjacent vertical edges spaced to permit access to the openings, and keys having downwardly directed lengths adapted to be slipped through the openings to engage the inner side of the studs and having horizontal l ngths adapted to bear upon the outer surfaces of adjacent construction units to secure same to the studs.
3. In combination, sheet metal studs having vertical series of relatively high narrow openings, flat construction units applied to the studs with their adjacent vertical edges spaced to permit access to'the openings, keys having heads adapted to be inserted in o the openings and secured to the studs by rotation, and opposed lengths adapted to bear upon the surfaces of adjacent construction units to secure same to the studs, and plaster applied to the construction units and extending through the openings to form plaster keys therebeyond.
In combination, channel shaped studs having a plurality of openings along each side Web, construction units applied thereto exteriorly of the channels thereof, and keys abutting the outerside of the units and having a projection insertable between the adjacent edges of the units and the openings and engageable with the inner surfaces of the side webs to secure the units to the studs. p
LOUIS A. BERGER.
