3 Claims. (o1. 189-46) This invention relates to an article of manufacture formed of sheet metal bent into such shape or shapes that the same'isparticularly adapted for usein connection with the making of frame constructions for-openings in building walls as more particularly set forth in my copending application filed March 24, 1930, Serial No. 438,402
An objectof my invention is to provide a novel article of manufacture from a single strip of sheet metal which is bent into such form or shape as to provide a novel strip for use in connection with frame constructions for window or door openings.
An object is to provide a novel article of manufacture formed of a single strip of sheet metal bent into such form as to provide either jamb or header members having a casing member integrally associated therewith.
Another object is to provide a novel article of manufacture formed of a single strip of sheet metal that is bent to form a suitable frame construction for openings in building walls and which is provided with integral inner and outer flanges for flashing purposes. I Another object is to provide a novel article particularly useful in the construction of frame members for double hung or French windows or door openings.
Other objects are simplicity, cheapness of construction and ease of assembly whereby a frame construction for openings in building walls may be formed and in which a jamb member, inner and outer casing members as well as flashing members and stops are provided in a single strip of sheet metal.
A feature of this invention is to provide a novel strip of sheet metal bent into such form that it may be used to provide a complete and unitary jamb member having inner and outer casing members integral therewith as well as stop members and flanges upstanding from said casing members, and having locking beads formed thereon, and the advantage of such feature is that a frame construction may be providedwhich will eliminate cost of labor and inconvenience of assembly and handling as is the case heretofore, where such frame construction is formed of several pieces.
Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detail description and the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention in some of the forms I at present deem preferable.
jFi'gure l i's a perspective view of an article of manufacture constructed inv accordance with my invention and adapted for use in making a frame construction for double hung windows.
'Fig. 2 is a fragmental plan view of the article showninFig. 1. H Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of an article of manufacture'constructed in -a'c- I cordance with my invention and adapted for use in making a fra e construction for French Windows or door openings. I I v v Fig. 4 is a fragmental plan view ofthearticle shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view showing the article of v in place in a wall structure, a'fragment of which is shown. The'invention comprises forminga single elo n-' gated strip of sheet metal into suitable form by bending the same into the cross-sectional shapes shown in either Figs. '1 or 3. Such forming or manufacture bending may be accomplished'by hand or by suitable machinery built for that purpose. v
A strip of sheet'metal of predetermined width and length is bent along its body "portion -1'" to form an outer recess 2 that extends longitudinally therealong and may be adapted to receive a parting bead in double hung window frame constructions; a stop member 3 is formed in and longitudinally along, the body portion, in parallelism with recess 2 and on each longitudinal side of the body portion and on opposite sides of the stop memberB, the strip of sheet metal is bent upon itself intermediate its ends to form casing members 4 and the freelongitudinal edges of the strip are bent at approximately right angles to the body portion so as to extend in parallelism with each other and form imperforate flanges 5 that provide suitable flashing means for connecting the article to studding in building walls. The casing members 4 are each provided with a suitable flat topped projection 6 formed therein and offset therefrom to provide a ground for plastering and a locking bead for plaster or siding of building Walls together with a groove '7 which is provided in each casing member 4 between each projection 6 and each respective flange 5 to receive the edges of lath and plaster or siding used in building walls. The rounded portion of each casing member that extends outwardly from each projection 6 or the ground formed thereby, is adapted to extend beyond the strip so as to extend in a direction opposite to the stop member 3.
In Fig. 3 the construction shown is particularly adapted for use inframe construction for so-called French windows or door openings, and in which the body portion 1 forms a jamb member and has a stop member 3' extending along its length, casing members 4 similar to casing members 4 are formed at each longitudinal edge of the jamb member 1' and such casing members are preferably offset as at a to provide room for the enlarged part of the butt of the closure hinge. Projections 6 and grooves 7' having flanges upstanding therefrom and extending away from jamb member 1' are also provided for analogous purposes to that referred to'in connection with Fig. 1.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the strip of metal is bent upon itself as at b and has its longitudinal edges spaced from each other and-extending in parallelism therewith so as to provide 'a substantially U-shaped member in cross-section.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the foregoing construction provides flanges 5 or 5 which are imperforate, and when a frame construction made from my new article of man-' ufacture is fitted in openings in building walls, such flanges 5 and 5' provide suitable flashing means which prevents wind and rain from penetrating through the wall at the joint of the frame construction with the studding of the building wall. The recesses 7 and 7 formed behind the projection 6 and 6' provides a suitable plaster locking bead which may receive the lath for plastering and the plaster. so that when the wall is finished, the plastering may be worked to the ground line formed .by the outer edge of the projections 6 or 6, and the plaster line will be protected by their casing members 4 and 4. This provides a finished wall in which a more perfect joint between the plaster and the casing member than has heretofore been possible to obtain, and the flashing flanges 5 and 5 tend to support the plaster and prevent the same from shrinking or swelling away from the ground line joint heretofore referred to.
I claim:
1.An article of manufacture comprising a strip of sheet metal bent upon itself intermediate its edges to form casing members and a jamb member; said jamb member being bent to form a stop member and also being bent-to form a recess extending from said jamb member opposite said stop member and adapted to receive a parting bead; and the longitudinal edges of said sheet metal strip being bentso as to exvtend in substantial parallelism with each other of a building wall, there being a longitudinally extending projection in outwardly spaced. parallel relation to each of said edge portions and a longitudinal recess between said projection and edge portion.
3. An article of manufacture comprising a strip of sheet metal bent upon itself intermediate its edges to form casing members and a jamb member; said casing members being offset from said jamb member; the longitudinal edge por-' tions of said sheet metal strip being bent so as to extend in substantial parallelism with each other and form a space therebetween adapted to receive the studding of a building wall; there being a longitudinally extending projection in outwardly spaced parallel relation to each of said edge portions and a longitudinal recess between said projection .and edge portion.
