Definitions

  • the subject invention relates to the utilization of a specific load transfer device for the purpose of allowing for reliable connection and adhesion of composite wood boards during edifice manufacture therewith.
  • a specific load transfer device for the purpose of allowing for reliable connection and adhesion of composite wood boards during edifice manufacture therewith.
  • Such a device is configured for containment within slots cut into the peripheral edges of such wood boards and cut into a shape therein that is complementary to that of the device itself.
  • the device when introduced within the properly shaped slot, permits separation of adjacent wood boards that are sequentially applied to the frame of the target edifice, as well as, ultimately, sufficient load bearing strength for the overall construction (such as a roof) within which such connected wood boards are utilized.
  • the separation of wood boards thus permits proper sealing therebetween (with tape, sealant, or other like material) as well as proper distance for shrinking or swelling (due to moisture variations) to be taken into account during the lifetime of the edification (thereby permitting expansion as needed).
  • the ability to impart increased load bearing strength thus allows for an increase in construction materials (in number and in weight) to be carried and kept on such a structure during construction as well.
  • the method of manufacture of an edifice utilizing such load transfer devices between wood boards is also encompassed within this invention.
  • Composite wood boards such as plywood boards or oriented strand boards, are well-known in the construction industry. In fact, such boards are used in the manufacture of inclined roofs. To facilitate making the roofs, board manufacturers sell rectangular boards which are about four feet wide, eight feet long and about 3 ⁇ 8 to 3 ⁇ 4 of an inch thick. Such boards are generally not attached to a roofing frame with each board abutting another. Such spacing is required to compensate for expansion possibilities due to changes in moisture content during the lifetime of the roof itself. As such, there is needed a manner of providing sealing between the spaces of such roof component boards. This is typically accomplished with tape, or any other like material. The tape is applied to ends of adjacent boards and across such spaces.
  • Another advantage of such a device and method is the ability of a user to easily install such devices within target wood boards and further connect an adjacent wood board thereto through the utilization of at least one such device in order to keep such wood boards in place for a sufficient period of time prior to attachment to a roof frame.
  • the invention herein may be summarized as a structure for an edifice selected from the group consisting of a roof and a wall, wherein said structure is comprised of at least a first wood board and a second wood board, each of said first and second wood boards having a top portion and a bottom portion, and each having four peripheral edges, wherein at least one peripheral edge of each wood board includes at least one cavity therein for the insertion of at least one connection device; wherein said connection device is made of a durable material and having a first end and a second end and wherein each of said first and second end is configured to be inserted within said at least one cavity of each wood board; wherein when said first and second wood boards are contacted simultaneously with said device, said peripheral edges into which said device is inserted are parallel to each other, but are not in contact with one another, and wherein said device does not contact the top or bottom portion of said first and second wood boards.
  • the roof or wall structure as defined above may include limitations such as: wherein said first end and said second end are shaped exactly the same and of the same dimensions, wherein said device is configured in such a manner that either of said first or second end may be placed within said at least one cavity within said peripheral edge of said first wood board, said cavity exhibiting a shape and dimension that is complementary to said first or second end of said device, and wherein when present within said cavity of said first wood board, said second wood board may then be contacted with said second end of said device in relation to the same type of cavity as defined for said first wood board within said peripheral edge of said second wood board.
  • a method of manufacturing a roof in accordance with such a scheme and utilizing at least two such wood boards for such a purpose is encompassed within this invention as well.
  • Such a device should therefore preferably be symmetrical in shape and measurements in order to exhibit the necessary ability to be inserted within cavities of any wood board used therewith.
  • the size of such a device may be of any width, up to the length of the peripheral edge of the target wood board(s) less an inch and a half (i.e., about 3.8 centimeters), generally.
  • a multiple amount of such devices would be utilized to connect adjacent boards together during the construction of a roof or wall, mainly because of the facilitation of maneuverability a user would have with smaller devices in hand during roof construction, rather than large materials for such a purpose.
  • the device may be incorporated within a roll containing a release liner with an adhesive attaching such multiples of devices to thereto from which they may be peeled and applied within the cavities of wood boards, potentially with the adhesive transferred therewith to permit reliable attachment of such devices to target wood boards.
  • a user would have a relatively convenient and safe manner of not only transporting such multiple devices, but also applying an adhesive-including device to a target wood board.
  • an adhesive is also preferable if the device(s) are transported by a user by different means.
  • an adhesive may be applied by the user by hand prior to utilization, or such devices may have covering strips over an already-applied adhesive area thereon, from which the strip may be removed by the user prior to utilization and insertion within a wood board cavity. Any other manner of adhesive application may also be followed for such a purpose.
  • the device itself may be constructed of any durable material, and of any shape and dimension, as long as the overall appearance is, as noted above, symmetrical.
  • plastics including high density plastics like polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylate, polyacetyl, and the like), metals (including iron, steel, aluminum, and the like), and any type of hardwood (oak, cedar, and the like), may be utilized to such an end.
  • Combinations of such materials (such as mixtures of different plastics, a plastic coated metal or wood, and the like), may also be utilized.
  • a device having an increased surface area through texturing, roughening, and the like, over the faces or edges or both, thereof, may also be employed, particularly if an adhesive is utilized in conjunction therewith.
  • Such an increase in surface area thus may contribute an increase in adhesive force during utilization and possibly strengthen the joint (like a truss plate, for example).
  • This distance may be from about 1/16 inch to about 1 ⁇ 4 inch, generally, and thus would require the depth of the cavities present within the wood boards to equal less than half the overall length of a single device. Building codes of various jurisdictions have varying requirements in terms of such spacings, but a popular distance is 1 ⁇ 8 inch for such a gap between adjoining edges (to allow for expansion and contraction of the panels due to moisture and/or temperature variations). This may be accomplished by providing an LTD of sufficient length that upon insertion within the cavities of adjoining boards, the gap is substantially uniform and cannot be breached. Alternatively, the LTD may be produced with a post in the center thereof to provide such spacing upon utilization.
  • the cavity should preferably be complementary in shape and dimension to the device, any such shape or dimension may be employed for the device and wood board cavity as long as they meet such requirements.
  • the cavity will likewise exhibit a complementary oval indentation of the same measurements.
  • the cavity slot
  • the device may include a pin at the very middle thereof to aid in distancing the adjacent wood boards from one another.
  • the cavity (slot) may also include a flared portion (or post portion, as noted above) to facilitate insertion of such a flat device therein and further facilitate the insertion of the other end of such a device within the cavity of a second wood board during roof construction.
  • the need to permit reliable application of tape thereto necessitated development of a device that would not have any contact with both the top and bottom of a wood board during utilization.
  • the overall method would permit insertion of such a device, or plurality of devices, within at least two wood boards simultaneously without any contact between the two wood boards, but with them residing in parallel relation to one another, and without any contact between the device, or plurality of devices, and the top and bottom portion of either wood board connected thereto.
  • Such a method provides more than just a manner of connecting roof or wall component wood boards prior to attachment to a roofing or wall frame, as well as more than just a manner of permitting tape to be reliably adhered to the subject wood boards in the areas in which they are not in contact with one another.
  • a heretofore unforeseen ability to withstand larger than usual load forces associated with the weight of a construction worker and the materials such a person would normally be required to transport over a roof during construction thereof. Such load bearing results are discussed in greater detail below.
  • the wood boards that may be utilized for such roof construction may be of any type, including oriented strand board, plywood, and the like.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an oval-shaped disk inserted within the cavities of peripheral edges of adjacent wood boards.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an oval-shaped disk exhibiting an increased surface area.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a rectangular-shaped disk exhibiting an increased surface area.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a rectangular-shaped disk having a pin present at its midpoint and inserted within the cavities of two wood boards, each exhibiting flares to facilitate insertion thereof during use.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional perspective of a disk 10 inserted within the cavities 12 , 14 of peripheral edges 13 , 15 of two adjacent wood boards 16 , 18 .
  • the disk 10 is flush with the internal portions of said cavities 12 , 14 to the degree that a distance between both boards 16 , 18 is evident.
  • a tape (not illustrated) may then be applied in contact with the top portions 20 , 22 of both wood boards 16 , 18 .
  • the distance between the wood boards 16 , 18 will be roughly uniform along the peripheral edges 13 , 15 .
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 merely show that such devices, either oval in shape 24 , or rectangular in shape 26 , may be modified or produced originally in such a manner as to impart an increase in surface area thereto to aid in adhering such devices to the cavities in which they are inserted within wood boards (not illustrated).
  • FIG. 4 depicts a cross-sectional perspective of a different potential embodiment wherein the disk 28 includes a pin at its midpoint 30 to aid in keeping the distance between the boards 32 , 34 uniform and in parallel relation thereto. If such boards 32 , 34 are not kept parallel to one another, the skewed result could deleteriously affect the spacing of other portions of the target roof. Also, the flared portions 36 , 38 of the wood boards 32 , 34 allow for insertion of the disk 28 having portions near the midpoint that complement the shape of such flares 40 , 42 , thereby facilitating insertion of the disk 28 within the cavities 44 , 46 within the peripheral edges 48 , 50 of the wood boards 32 , 34 as well as permitting a firm and snug fit of the disk 28 therein during use.
  • the cavity in the target wood board may be configured as well in any shape, particularly at the entry point, in order to facilitate ingress of the LTD itself.
  • the edge of the point of entry may be curved, tapered, or any like effect, to permit such ease in application. This will be important in most instances to facilitate such application while a user has a number of tools and other implements in his/her hands.
  • the effective load is even less (up to 280 lbs) if the man stands in one location for a short period of time, and in addition, the load is distributed over a larger area by both feet.
  • the modulus of elasticity of some of these materials were important as well in determining their effectiveness. It was realized that the greater the elasticity, the better the disk, biscuit, etc., made therefrom was able to withstand load bearing weights to a greater degree. It is believed, without intending to be limited to any specific scientific theory, that such greater load bearing capability is provided in relation to the flexibility of the device and thus the capacity of such a material to simultaneously bear weight when applied directly to the area affected, as well as the area adjacent thereto. A material with very high stiffness appeared to force the device to break the shoulder portion of the board before the device itself was injured to any appreciable extent. A material with a much lower stiffness allowed more deflection of the device and joint under concentrated loads.
  • the device is a material exhibiting a MOE of 10,000,000 psi or below, more preferably lower than 1,000,000 psi, and most preferably from 100,000 to about 500,000 psi.
  • High density polyethylene exhibits a MOE of about 200,000 psi and polyacetal from about 305,000 to about 380,000 psi.
  • Aluminum is as high as 10,000,000. This list is not exhaustive of the potential materials available for this invention, but illustrative thereof.
  • the analysis performed to determine this desired level of effectiveness was an analysis of variance calculation.
  • the subject structures were analyzed in a lab environment for deflection and load bearing capability.
  • a TECO QL-2 Panel Performance Tester was utilized for such analysis.
  • Such an instrument is a fully automated, computer-controlled machine designed to perform testing that is consistent with PS 2-92 concentrated static, impact load and deflection test requirements.
  • the instrument is equipped with a “floating bed” that facilitates impact testing, as well as instrumentation to test for concentrated load and deflection, ultimate (failure) load, impact load, and edge-supported panels.
  • test panels were about 7/16 inch in thickness (the machine can test for thicknesses between 1 ⁇ 4 and 11 ⁇ 8 inches, and the length of subject panels (boards) can be from 16 to 48 inches.
  • 48 inch boards were used.
  • simulated joists three in all were included within the instrument to permit testing comparable to load bearing of roofing sheathing during installation of boards having dimensions of 48 inches (121.92 cm) by 96 inches (243.84 cm).
  • a board was connected thereto the simulated joists and 4 inventive devices were then inserted within the cavities provided therein the periphery of the board (the devices were about 8 inches in length and inserted widthwise).
  • a second board of the same dimensions and having complementary cavities therein for connection to the already inserted devices was then supplied. That board was then connected via the devices without contacting directly the first board.
  • a floating panel bed was then moved into place beneath the two device-connected boards and pressures were then supplied to specific areas of the boards to measure load bearing and deflection thereof.
  • a pneumatic pressure applicator was utilized and was applied hydraulically at two locations on the subject boards (in accordance with the PS 2-92 test requirements) and read by a 2,000 pound capacity load cell.
  • a high-resolution digital encoder was utilized to record the deflection after the pressure (weight) was applied as well.
  • analysis of variance differs from regression in two ways: the independent variables are qualitative (categorical), and no assumption is made about the nature of the relationship (that is, the model does not include coefficients for variables).
  • analysis of variance extends the two-sample t-test for testing the equality of two population means to a more general null hypothesis of comparing the equality of more than two means, versus them not all being equal.
  • a two-way analysis of variance tests the equality of populations means when classification of treatments is by two variables or factors.
  • DF Degrees of Freedom. The extent to which the distribution was more spread out. As this measurement gets larger, the distribution dispersion gets smaller.
  • MS the MS error is the pooled standard deviation squared.
  • This test determines if the two populations exhibit similar or dissimilar factors and thus uses samples variances between the populations tested. This does not, however, actually test the degree of difference in sample variances, only if they exist. A value of greater than 4 for an F-value is significant whereas as close to 1 as possible means the group means of measurements are very similar between the two populations.
