This invention relates to wall structures such as exterior building walls, partitions, and the like, and especially to a metal stud for use in building hollow walls, together with means for attaching expanded metal lath, or the like, thereto.
The object of the present invention is generally to improve and simplify the construction of walls and interior partitions in the erection of buildings and like structures; to provide a metal stud in the form of a channel, an I-beam, or the like, which is provided with means for receiving and securing expanded metal lath, wire mesh, or the like; and, further, to provide attachable clips which are provided with means for receiving and securing the lath.
The invention is shown by way of illustration in the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a vertical cross section of a wall or partition structure;
Fig. 2 is a partial side elevation of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the form of stud employed in the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2;
Fig. 4 shows a modified form of the stud shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 shows a stud having a clip attached thereto with bendable tongues to receive and secure the metal lath;
Fig. 6 shows a portion of a stud with a clip attached thereto, said clip being provided with tie wires to receive and secure the metal lath;
Fig. 7 is a cross section taken on line VIIVII of Fig. 5;
Fig. 8 is a cross section taken on line VIII-VIII of Fig. 6.
Referring to the drawing in detail, and particularly Figs. 3 and 5, it will be noted that the studding employed is constructed of metal which may be rolled or pressed and that the studs may assume the form of a channel, an I-beam, or otherwise. The webs of the studs are cut out as indicated at 2, 3 and 4, see Fig. 1, to form a truss structure rigid but light in weight and of substantially equal strength both in its chord section and web. The chords or flanges of the studs are cut or punched to form V-shaped openings and tongues 6, which are pressed or bent inwardly to form a stop and securing member for the headed ends of nails I placed in the V-shaped openings. In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the tongues are shown as bent inwardly from the flanges of the studs. In Fig. 4 they are shown as bent outwardly.
As a substitute for cutting or punching the flanges of the studs metal clips, such as shown at 8 and 9 in Figs. 5 and 6, may be employed. These clips are also constructed of metal and they are either punched to receive and retain U-shaped tie wires I I, as shown in Fig. 6, or punched to form a series of outwardly extending tongues I2, 5
.shown in Fig. 5. The clips may be made of suitable length and are provided with side flanges. I l to embrace the flanges of the studs and to permit the clips to be secured'thereto.
In actual practice the studs are vertically posil tioned in the Wall or partition structure and are welded, or otherwise secured therein. If the type of studs, shown in Figs. 1 to 3, are employed nails 1 are inserted in the -shaped openings as shown in Fig. 3, the nails being there secured by bending the tonguesas shown at i5; that is, the tongues when bent against the heads of the nails prevent inward movement of the nails, while outward movement is prevented as the heads of the nails are secured by the shoulders formed by the narrow V-ends of the openings. After the nails are placed the expanded metal lath is applied and is secured by bending the nails over the lath as shown at 16. Where the tongues are bent outwardly, as shown in Fig. 4, the lath is applied directly thereto and the tongues are bent over, as shown at ll, to secure the lath in place. The same procedure is used when the clips shown in Fig. 5 are employed. That is, the tongues will pass through the lath and the lath will be secured by bending the tongues over the lath. With the clips shown in Fig. 6, the wire ends will pass through the latch hence it will only be necessary to twist the Wire ends, as shown at Hi, to secure the lath in place. I
A wall or partition constructed in the manner here described is hollow and open from end to end and as such provides a dead air space which insulates against heat and cold, and also renders the walls or partitions substantially soundproof. 40 The type of stud employed affords great strength and rigidity, and the open spaces. provided, indicat-ed at 2, 3 and 4, permit the placing of wiring, conduits, piping and the like. The tongues punched from the flanges permit quick application and securing of the lath. r
The material employed throughout is metal and as such permits welding, thereby insuring further rigidity and strength.
While the invention has been particularly described in connection with the construction of hollow walls, partitions, and the like, it lends itself equally to the construction of hollow floors, etc. Plainly speaking, the channels and I-beams disclosed may be designed and used as joists,
of an elongated metal clip extending crosswise of the outer face of the I-beam flange, side flanges formed on the clip and bendable to engage the inner faces of the I-beam flange, and a plurality of U-shaped tie Wires extending through perforations formed in the clip, said tie wires adapted to be passed through lath applied to the face of the I-beams and to be twisted exterior of the faces of the lath to secure the lath to the I-beams.
