inventionrelates to boards made' `ing the modified form `of strengthening andinfrom'cementitious materials, andpmore particularly to improvements in channelledm'etalframes usedin such boards.;
Vr Thereis nowgbeingl generally nsedlin building;
construction a board which is made from gypsum or similar cementitious material, and such boards have been found very desirable for use in the construction of ceilings, walls, iloors and the like.
Inasmuch. as theI strength of gypsum is notvery great, it is necessary to reenforce such boards by l channelledmetal frames, which are provided with' means togzenable adjacent boards to'be inter-1l:
locked. .Heretofore, the interlocking means usedA 15' lin suchframeshavebeen unsatisfactoryin that` they add considerable material to. thel frame and decrease thestrength of the-same;` and the'V line o f interlocking between adjacent boards is greatly weakened so that when force' is applied to thatv Apointthere is danger oibreaking itheinterlock.
It is an object of thisinventiom to provide improvements in means for interlocking adjacent;l
frames without decreasing thestrength ofthe frame or causing a lin'e ofy low resistance atthe 'points of interlocking. 1 object oi thelinvention to pro-. y vide, novel shapes and interlocking meansfin chanf.
ened due to the cylindrical flanges It isv a further nelled frames for building boards, by lmeans `of titions material tothe f rarlile.`

Fig. 5 is a perspective view, partly in section, of two adjacent frames of amodied shape, and having means for strengthening and interlocking the frame,
Fig. 6 is a perspective view, partly in section, of adjacent frame members of a modified form havvvese andother advantageous objects which will later appear, are accomplishedby the 'sim-; ple Iand, practical vconstruction and arrangement partly in section, of

Iny certain instances, it may be desirable to have two adjacent sides vof the rectangular frame provided with outwardly directed cylindrical 40 flanges' Il; and the other two adjacent sides of the rectangular frame provided with inwardly directed cylindrical flanges I2. Such av structure, of course, would necessitate the arranging of adto 'the-longitudinal kaxis of the f jacent frames in a definite manner at all times.
` In Fig. 4 is shown an adaptation of theinvention where it is desired that the metal frame members be entirely concealed. In Fig. 5 is shown a modied form of frame member which is made from a channel having a bottom wall I3 and side walls I4 which are provided with inwardly directed right angular flanges I5, each side wall I4 also having depressed portions I6 adjacent the junction of theV side walls with the bottom wall I3.

.Referring ,to Fig.- 7 there is shown aV modified desired to join two adjacent frames of such a i structure, there is provided between the bottom walls I3 of the adjacent frame members, a strengthening plate I'I, which is bent to provide flanges I8 at right angles to the plate I'I and to give the strengthening plate a substantially I- shape incross section. The flanges lrest'upon I6 of theside walls of the channels, the anges I8 being substantially flush with the raised portions I4 of the side walls asl shown in Fig. 5. This structure also` provides an, unusually strong joint between adjacent trame members `so that in the event of the application of force along the line of juncture there will be no possibility of breaking the' distorting the frame member.
In Fig. 6 is shown another modied form of frame member having va bottom wall I 9 and side walls provided with raised portions 2q and de.- pressed portions 2|, the bottom walls- I9 also having struck out therefrom a plurality. of spaced cylindrical flanges 22. join adjacent framesl having such a structure,
