E. L. BENEDICT WALL STRUCTURE Feb. 6, 1934.
Filed Oct. 8, 1951 m/4am Patented Feb. 6, 1934 UNITED STATES WALL STRUCTURE Edward L. Benedict, Oakmont, Pa., assignor to Pittsburgh Steel Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., a, corporation of Pennsylvania Application October 8, 1931. Serial No. 567,598
2 Claims.
My invention relates to wall structures and more particularly to studding members and the like, together with means for retaining metal lath, reinforcing mesh, etc., in position.
One object of my invention is to provide a wall structure of the character referred to that may be more quickly and conveniently assembled than various types of structures heretofore employed.
Another object of my invention is to provide a wall structure or frame work of relatively light weight, but possessing very great strength.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a wall structure of generally simplified and improved form.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional View of a portion of a wall structure embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a face view thereof; Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the studding and tie members of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a modification of the structure of Fig. 3.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, the studding members are shown as composed of metal channels 5 that are spaced apart a distance, dependent upon the overall wall thickness desired. Also, the spacing of the channels 5 permits the placing of conduits in the wall, between the said channels.
The upper and lower ends of the channels are supported by beams, sills, or the like, in any wellknown manner, in the building art. Tie bars 6, which may be formed of heavy wire, are welded to the edges of the channels and serve as trusses or braces to give rigidity to the channels, so that they can be formed of lighter weight than would otherwise be required, for a wall of given strength. Additional bracing of the channels with respect to one another can be secured by placing horizontal bars or channels 7 between them at intervals. These channels can be supported on the cross bars 6 or fastened to the uprights 5 in any suitable manner, as for example, by twisting wires around the channels and the studding mem bers 5.
As above indicated, the tie bars 6 serve the further function of securing metal lath, Wall board, reinforcing mesh, etc., to the studding. In the present structure, they are shown as employed for securing paper-backed fabric or reinforcing mesh in place. The connection with paperbacked mesh, such as that shown in my Patents No. 1,502,012 of July 22, 1924, and No. 1,597,507 of August 24, 1926, may be effected simply by pressing the paper back fabric against the ends of the bars 6 so that said ends will be forced through the paper and can then be bent into the plane of the wall, and over certain of the stay or strand wires 8 and 9, as shown at 10.
Plaster or stucco material 11 is then applied to the reinforcing mesh 8-9 in any suitable manner, thereby further interlocking the ends of the retaining bars 6 and the reinforcing mesh.
In Fig. 4, I show a modification of the studdin members of Fig. 3, the same consisting of a single wider channel 12, to which tie bars 13 are welded or otherwise secured. Here again, the wires 13 serve not only to connect the metal lath or reinforcement to the studding, but serve as brace members for stiffening the channel, which consequently need not be constructed of such heavy metal as would be required if the tie bars 13 did not bridge the channel.
It will be understood that the members 5 and 12 may be employed in structural bodies other than vertical walls and partitions.
I claim as my invention:-
1. Wall structure comprising a plurality of pairs of upright channel members, the members of each pair being disposed in side-by-side relation and with their webs in a common plane, tie rods welded to the flanges of each pair of members, reinforcing mesh disposed against the exposed surfaces of the said members, the ends of said rods extending through and bent back on the mesh, horizontally-extending bars extending between the channel members of each pair and resting upon the tie rods, and. a plastic facing material imbedding said mesh and bent back ends.
2. Wall structure comprising a plurality of pairs of upright channel members, the members of each pair being disposed in side-by-side relation and with their webs in a common plane, tie rods welded to the flanges of each pair of members, reinforcing mesh disposed against the exposed surfaces of the said members at one side of the structure, the adjacent endsof said bars extending through and bent back on the mesh, horizontally-extending bars extending between the channel members of each pair and resting upon the tie rods, and a plastic facing material imbedding said mesh and bent back ends.
