Abstract
A lath securing system is provided that is configured to durably retain wire lath in a spaced position from a wall that is to be coated, the system comprising a retaining member for retaining a section of wire lath therein to restrain the wire lath in a secure position; and a fastening member comprising rigid means for securing the retaining member to the wall so that when the retaining member is fastened to the wall, the section of wire lath within the retaining means is secured in a spaced position away from the wall so as to permit application of wall coating without significant movement of the wire lath.
Description
- The embodiments herein relate generally to a system for improving the placement of wall coatings to a wall, and more specifically to a system for securing wire lath or the like to the wall prior to the application of coating.
- In the construction of many building surfaces, it is desired to apply a durable coating other than paint to the surfaces, for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Such coatings include stucco and plaster, both of which are applied in a wet cement-like consistency. To enhance the durability of the coating and to assist in the efficiency of the application, wire lath is often used, upon which the coating is applied. To make the wire lath useful, it must be applied to the wall in a manner such that it remains spaced from the wall, so that the coating is applied so that it covers the wall and entirely envelops the wire lath. It is further desired that a sheet of protective material also be applied directly to the wall to help seal the interior of the building.
- Numerous efforts have been made in the past to support the wire lath on the wall in a manner that it remains secure against movement during application of the coating, but is spaced evenly away from the wall. Most involve pre-formed wire clips that are nailed to the wall prior to the application of lath. Sheets of wire lath are then secured to the clips, usually by tie wire or the like. Channel pieces are also used to provide spaced support of the lath sheets on the wall.
- The present invention presents an alternative array of embodiments that provide efficient and easy application of lath supports for use on a wall to be coated. At least some of the advantages of the embodiments of the present invention eliminate the need for double labor—that of applying the lath support to the wall, and that of tie wiring the lath to the lath support. Other advantages will be appreciated by the person of ordinary skill in the art from the description below.
- In embodiments of the present invention, a lath securing system is provided that is configured to durably retain wire lath in a spaced position from a wall that is to be coated with, for example, stucco or plaster. The system comprises generally a retaining member comprising means for retaining a section of wire lath therein to restrain the wire lath in a secure position, and a fastening member comprising rigid means for securing the retaining member to the wall. With this arrangement, when the retaining member is fastened to the wall, the section of wire lath within the retaining means is secured in a spaced position away from the wall so as to permit application of wall coating without significant movement of the wire lath.
- In one embodiment, the lath securing system retaining member comprises a spacer support configured to rest against the wall. The retaining means comprises a detent in the spacer support within which the wire lath section may reside when the lath securing system is in place on a wall. In another embodiment, the retaining member comprises a clip that is configured to securely engage the fastening member. The retaining means comprises a first hook at one end of the clip within which the wire lath section may reside in a spaced position from the wall when the lath securing system is in place on said wall. In one variation, the fastening member comprises a nail comprising a tapered rod portion and a force-receiving head portion. The clip may comprise a wire comprising the first hook at one end and a second hook at the other end for engaging the nail. In yet further variations, the head of the nail comprises a plurality of slots within the head of the nail for receiving the second hook to secure the clip to the nail, so that when the system is in place on the wall, the first hook is secured to the wire lath section while the second hook of the clip is secured to the nail.
- In yet another embodiment, the clip comprises a head-engaging means at a second end opposite the first end for engaging the head of the nail, so that when the system is in place on the wall, the first hook is secured to the wire lath section while the head-engaging means is secured to the nail. With such an arrangement, the head-engaging means may comprise a pocket within with the head of the nail may reside to engage the clip to the nail in secure fashion. Other embodiments are described in more detail below.
- The detailed description of some embodiments of the invention will be is made below with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein like numerals represent corresponding parts of the figures.
-
FIGS. 1A-1C show one embodiment of the present invention, withFIG. 1A showing a side view and a top view,FIG. 1B showing a perspective view of the system applied to a wall, andFIG. 1C showing a side view of the system applied to a wall; -
FIGS. 2A-2B show another embodiment of the present invention, withFIG. 2A showing a perspective view of the system andFIG. 2B showing a perspective view of the system as applied to a wall; -
FIGS. 3A-3B show yet another embodiment of the present invention, withFIG. 3A showing a perspective view of components of the system, andFIG. 3B showing a perspective view of the system as applied to a wall. - By way of example, and referring to
FIGS. 1A-1C one embodiment of lath securingsystem 10 comprises a retaining member and a fastening member for securing thesystem 10 to a wall. The retaining member comprises aspacer support 12 configured to rest against the wall. The fastening member comprises afastening nail 14 comprising anail rod portion 16 and anail head portion 18. Thenail rod portion 16 comprises a tapered end so that blunt force may be applied tonail head portion 18 to drive the fasteningmember 14 into a wall. - The
spacer support 12 comprises afirst surface 20 for abutting a wall surface, and asecond surface 22 comprising a retaining means, which in this embodiment is a detent 24 for receiving a portion of wire lath therein in a secure fashion. Thespacer support 12 further comprises abore 26 for accepting thefastening nail 14 therethrough, where the bore is preferably large enough to permit smooth passage of thenail 14 but small enough to eliminate too much movement of thespacer support 12 relative to the nail. A snug fit may be desired, and it is even contemplated that thebore 26 have an internal diameter smaller than the diameter of thenail rod 16 to create a friction fit. - Referring to
FIG. 1B , this embodiment example oflath securing system 10 may be seen applied to awall 28 with a portion ofwire lath 30 secured therein. Specifically, thespacer support 12 is applied towall 28 in a position whereby a portion of thewire lath 30 may rest securely withindetent 24 onsecond support surface 22. Fasteningnail 14 can be driven forcefully throughbore 26 ofspacer support 12 and intowall 28 by applying a force onnail head 18. Importantly, as can be seen fromFIG. 1C , when thesystem 10 is applied towall 28 such that thefastener nail 14 is driven completely through the spacer support 12 and into the wall, thenail head 18 ofnail 14 encloses the portion ofwire lath 30 residing withindetent 24 of spacer support 12 so that thewire lath 30 is locked in place, spaced sufficiently from the wall for coating with stucco or plaster. With this configuration, a user may place a plurality of wall lath securingsystems 10 against a wall so positioned so that portions of the wire lath are secured with the detent 24 of each spacer support 12 to securely support an entire wire lath system in spaced fashion against thewall 28. - The
spacer support 12 may be made of any durable material, such as plastic, metal or wood, but preferably should be able to withstand years embedded within the wall coating under the ambient elements associated with that particular geography. Likewise, the fastening nail should be made of material that can withstand blunt forces to drive it into a wall, preferably metal, but any material suitable to that function is contemplated. - The size of the spacer support 12, i.e., the distance between the first and second surfaces, 20, 22, as well as the depth of the detent 24, may be as large or small as needed to reflect the desired spacing of the
lath 30 from thewall 28. In an alternative embodiment, such as that shown inFIG. 1D , aspacer support 12′ comprises a detent 24′ of larger dimension such that a portion ofnail 14 is exposed within the detent 24′ rather than driven through a portion of the spacer support immediately adjacent thedetent 24 such as that shown inFIG. 1C . - It may also be desired to have an entire set of spacer supports 12 be the same overall dimension, but have subsets with
detents 24 of varied depths, depending upon whether some walls should have the lath spaced further from or closer to the wall. Although not conventionally employed, were it desired to layer the wall with two sheets of wire lath, it is contemplated that a space support be provided comprising two detents, each with differing depths, so that a first layer of wire lath be applied at a first level and a second layer be applied at a second level spaced farther from the wall. Indeed, a single detent with two different-height interior shoulders could be provided to accommodate the same lath layering technique. - Numerous other embodiments are contemplated for the present invention. For example, referring to
FIGS. 2A and 2B , an alternative embodiment oflath securing system 110 includes a retaining member comprising aclip 112 and a fastening member comprising a dual-headednail 114. Similar to thefastening nail 14 of the embodiment ofFIGS. 1A-1C ,fastening nail 114 comprises anail rod portion 116 andnail head portion 118. Retainingclip 112 comprises a rod-like structure having afirst hook 120 at a first end, and asecond hook 122 at a second end. Thesecond hook 112 is configured to engage one of a plurality ofslots 126 in thenail head portion 118 offastening nail 114. - Notably,
fastening nail 114 includes an optionalsecond head 128 similar to common duplex nails. One of the functions of thesecond head 128 is to provide a guide to the user of how far to advance thefastening nail 114 into the wall to leave the desired spacing from thewall 28 for thewire lath 30. It should be appreciated, however, thatfastening nail 114 may be driven intowall 28 using a powered hammer, such as a pneumatic gun. In some cases, pneumatic guns and other types of powered hammers include the capability to set the depth to which a nail is driven. In such cases, the optionalsecond head 128 may not be needed or desired. - Referring to
FIGS. 2B specifically, thesystem 110 may be installed by first driving a plurality offastening nails 114 intowall 28 at a desired locations. Thewire lath 30 may then be applied in a manner where the retainingmember clip 112 may be readily hooked to thewire lath 30 to restrain movement of thewire lath 30 in spaced position from thewall 28. The desired spacing of thelath 30 from thewall 28 depends upon the position of thesecond head 128 on thefastening nail 114. If desired, a set of fasteningnails 114 may include subsets withsecond heads 128 positioned in varied positions on therod portion 116 so that subsets may be selected depending upon the desired wire lath spacing from the wall. - If desired, the
second hook 122, may be permanently affixed to aslot 126 in thenail head portion 118, or may be provided as a discrete system component to be attached to whichever slot is most convenient after thefastening nail 114 is affixed to thewall 28. Having theclip 112 adhered to thenail head portion 118 eliminates a separate step of attaching theclip 112 to thefastening nail 114 during system installation, but it restricts the ability to apply thefastening nail 114 to thewall 28 without regard to orientation. Even if maximum flexibility is desired by keeping theclip 112 as a discrete component to be attached later, the configuration ofclip 112 is such that it makes for a very easy and quick attachment to thenail head portion 118 andwire lath 30 during installation that is easier and quicker than tie wiring. Regardless, both versions are contemplated depending upon the user's desires. - The
clip 112 may be made of any durable material, such as plastic or metal, but preferably should be able to withstand years embedded within the wall coating under the ambient elements associated with that particular geography. Likewise, the fastening nail should be made of material that can withstand blunt forces to drive it into a wall, preferably metal, but any material suitable to that function is contemplated. The fastening nail should also be made to withstand the shear forces associated with the wire lath pulling laterally on thenail head portion 118. - Other alternative embodiments include, for example, the system shown in
FIGS. 3A and 3B . In that regard,lath securing system 210 includes a retaining member comprising aclip 212 and a fastening member comprising a duplex-style nail 214 configured to restrain and support sheets ofwire lath 30 in spaced relationship against awall 28. Referring toFIG. 3A specifically,fastening nail 214 comprises arod portion 216 and ahead portion 218. It further comprises asecond head 220 positioned below thehead portion 218. As with thefastening nail 114 of the embodiment ofFIGS. 2A and 2B , thenail 214 has asecond head 220 to space thehead portion 218 from thewall 28. It may resemble a standard duplex nail or may be configured differently if so desired. Indeed, the fastening nails 114 and 214 need not necessarily have a second head, but it does provide the advantage of uniform spacing of the wire lath from the wall without the user needing to visually make that determination when driving the nail into the wall. However, as described above, a powered hammer device such as a pneumatic gun with the capability to control the depth to which the nail is driven may eliminate the need for thesecond head 220. - With this example embodiment, the retaining
clip 212 comprises a first hook 222 at a first end of the clip and asecond hook 224 at a second end. As with the retaining member of the embodiment ofFIGS. 2A and 2B , the opposing hooks are preferably configured to engage the nail head portion and the wire lath in retrained format. Retainingmember 212 is exemplary of a non-wire configuration, however. Indeed, it reflects one of a number of possible configurations for a clip to secure the wire lath at one end to a fastening member at the other end. Thesecond hook 224 may have one of a number of configurations specifically, provided they serve some ability to grasp thehead portion 218 of thefastening nail 214 in a manner that restrains significant relative movement of the wire lath relative to the wall andlath securing system 210. In one arrangement,second hook 224 comprises a pocket 226 configured to receive thenail head 218 therewithin with little room for movement. The pocket 226 includes anail slot 228 to permit therod portion 216 offastening nail 214 to slide toward the inside of the pocket. - If desired, the pocket 226 may be secured to the
fastening nail 214 prior to applying the nail to thewall 28, or afterwards. The retainingclip 212 should be made of sturdy material that can withstand the elements, as with the above-described embodiments, but may also be made of material sufficient to withstand the blunt force needed to drive the fastening nail into wall. That is optional, of course, if it is desired to drive the nail into the wall first and then later apply theclip 212 to thehead portion 218 of thefastening nail 214. The first hook 222 may then be secured to a portion of the sheet of lath for securement as described above. - Each of the embodiments described herein are illustrations of examples of the present invention and are not intended to restrict the scope of protection afforded the invention. A person of ordinary skill in the art should appreciate that variations in the configuration and materials are contemplated by the present invention without limitation to the specific embodiments presented. In that regard, the scope of protection should be assessed based upon the appropriate construction of the claims as set forth below.
