Abstract
Description
- My related and copending Provisional Application No. 61/594,703 was filed on Feb. 03, 2012. That filing date is claimed for this application.
- This invention relates to masonry block work, and more specifically to a system for gripping and securing steel plate against an outer wall of concrete masonry block(s) during the block grouting process.
- In the prior art, such steel plates are temporarily propped up by various makeshift means or techniques which are labor and time consuming, and less than satisfactory.
- In summary, this invention is a system for setting and securing metal plate on an outer wall of concrete masonry. It includes masonry blocks with side walls and end walls forming an inner grout cavity. The metal plate has Nelson studs extending from it, each having a head on its outer end. The studs extend from the plate, through a masonry side wall, into the grout cavity. A spring clip in the grout cavity compressed between a masonry block side wall and the stud head urges the stud and plate inward to secure the plate against the masonry as the grout cavity is filled with grout.
- In the accompanying drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a concrete masonry block and a plate setter system of this invention. -
FIG. 2 is similar toFIG. 1 , with an additional masonry block for placement on the lower block. -
FIG. 3 is a cutaway interior view of upper and lower masonry blocks with the system of this invention in place. - With reference now to the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of aconcrete masonry block 10, asteel plate member 30 to be secured against an outside wall of theblock 10, and aspring clip 40. - The
block 10 includessidewalls 11,end walls 12, and aninner partition 13, all together forming inner cavities orspaces 14. Theblock 10, otherwise conventional, in this invention further includes a partialvertical slot 15 upward through one of itssidewalls 11. - The
plate member 30 includes asteel plate 31 withfixed studs 32, known in the trade as Nelson studs, extending perpendicularly from it. Eachstud 32 includes ahead 33 on its outer end.Studs 32 may be threaded into theplate 31, or welded to it, or fixed to it by a bayonet fitting, or other appropriate means as desired. - The
spring clip 40 is formed of spring wire. It includes left andright feet 41,ankles 42,lower legs 43, knees 44, andupper legs 45. The outer ends oflegs 45 are connected to opposite ends of anarched yoke 46. -
FIG. 2 includes the elements ofFIG. 1 and, in addition, asecond block 20 having a partialvertical slot 25 downward through a sidewall. In this view, theplate member 30 is moved into place relative to thelower block 10, with one of itsstuds 32 now extending through theslot 15 of thelower block 10. -
FIG. 3 is a cutaway view of the interior ofblocks upper block 20 is now mounted on thelower block 10. Theirrespective slots studs 32 now extend through theslots cavities 14 of upper andlower blocks - Also in
FIG. 3 ,spring clips 40 are pressed into place, each straddling astud 32. Thespring clips 40 are now in compression, theirfeet 41 pressing against the blockinner walls 11, and theiryokes 46 pressing against thestud heads 33. Thespring clips 40, pushing against thestud heads 33, thereby hold thesteel plate 31 in place against the blockouter wall 11. In the next step, thegrout cavity 14 is filled with grout to thereby permanently embed and fix thestuds 32 within the cavity, thereby to permanently fix theplate 31 to theblocks - In the following claims, any terms indicative of orientation (e.g. front, back; upper, lower; top, bottom; horizontal, vertical) are meant simply to correspond with the illustrations as an aid to understanding of the claimed invention. Such terms are not intended as positive limitations.
- The foregoing description of a preferred embodiment is illustrative. The concept and scope of the invention are not limited by such details but only by the following claims.
