PLASTER RETAINING STRUCTURE Original Filed March 7. 1938 Patented Mar. 19, 1940 Application March 7, 1938, Serial No. 194,406
Renewed 'July 12, 1939 This invention relates to devices for supporting plaster coating such as those used in building construction and has particular reference to a lathing tie for securing furring material, and
5 consequently the plaster, in place.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a simplified construction of a tie for floating or crack prooi walls that is economical in its manufacture.
'* .Another object of the invention is to provide a tie of this character which can be adapted to the various conventional iurring elements known to the trade, such as metal lathing and wall construction board.
l5v A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a tie for securing furring elements and plaster coating to a wall or ceiling in such a `manner as to allow the surface to shift relative to its supports when caused to move by contraction and expansion due to variations in temperature or by reason of settling caused by faulty foundations, thus minimizing the cracking of the plaster.
Yet another obj-ect of the invention resides in 25. the provision of a device of this character which minimizes the transmission of sound through partitioning surfaces.
' Broadly, the invention seeks to provide a tie for securing furring elements to supports which ao'is of economical construction as well as being readily adaptable to the conventional lathing materials, and in the provision of ar furring tie which is capable of reducing the transmission of sound prevalent in conventional wall construction.
With the foregoing objects as paramount, other and lesser objects will become manifest as the description proceeds taken in connection with the appended drawing wherein:
Figure l is a perspective view of two wall studs illustrating fragmentary portions of wall board attached thereto by the employment of the invention.
Figure 2 is an elevational view of a stud particularly illustrating the positions of the ties at the intersections between the boards.
Figure 3 is a perspective View of a stud supporting-a fragment ofvmetal lath by use of the invention when the employment of wall board is not desired.
Figure 4 is a perspective View of one form of the invention wherein the clasp is slidably engaged in the body member.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of another form of the invention illustrating the clasp integral with its body member. l
5 claims. (ci. vs -11s) Figure 6 is a perspective view of the form of the invention illustrated inFigure 4 illustratingv the sound insulation material applied thereto.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 5 with the 5'* sound'insulating material applied and showing the clasp engaging a fragmentary portion of metal latliing, and
Figure 8 is a plan view of several of the ties applied to a strip of felt or similar material. 1071 Continuing with; a more detailed description I of the drawing, the numeral I designates" studs to which` the plaster'surface is to be applied, and to which, in conventional practice, lathing l, orv wall board is nailed. By the employment of' 15"' thep-resent invention, the furring surface may be applied in such a manner as to provide what is known to the'art as a iioating wall, that is the plastered surface is capable o1' vertical and hori-v Zontal movement occasioned by changes of tem- 20;- perature of the settling or shifting of the frame work of the building.
The present invention is comprised of albody member 2 which issubstantially rectangular in shape and relatively thin and has a. longitudinal 25 slotl 3 arranged therethroughwhich, invmanufacture, may be stamped out. The resulting piece of material -is formed into4 avlaterallyprojecting clasp 4 and is to be bent over a bar or bars 5 of metal lath'ing, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3 30 and "7, for securing the furring element.
' In one form of the ,invention, as illustrated in Figures 4 and 6, the clasp 4 is entirely severed from the slot 3 and is formed in such a vmanner asto have projecting lugs' 6 at each end thereof 35 and is bent at its center a so that the resulting thickness is of a lesser dimension than the width of the slot 3. The lugs 6 are bent outwardly and the entire clasp is then inserted ythrough the .slot 3, thus providing a slidable connection between 40 the clasp 4 and the body 2, the point a, when applied to lath, or bent, prevents the said slot from becoming disengaged from the said body.
In the form of thek invention illustrated in Figures 5 and '7, vthe clasp A is partially stamped 45' and extends from the body 2,-one end of the clasp'remaining integral therewith.
A nail l, having a relatively large head 8, slid-v ably engages the slot 3 and is, in application, driven into the stud l. Thus, when the clasp 4 50 is attached to metal lathing, the plaster surface (not shown) is rotatably and slidably secured to the supporting stud I. i
The body member 2 is covered with insulating as felt or iibrous paper, and in the form of the invention illustrated in Figures 4 and 6, prevents the free movement, or frangible engagement, of the clasp i in the slot 3. Another strip of flexible material i which also may be a nonconductor of sound, is disposed around the body 2 and the medium 9 for securing the nail head 8 in plac Thus when the medium 9 and the material IG are thus fashioned and secured, individual units are prepared and ready for use.
The invention is particularly adaptable for securing Wall board ll to studs I. The body 2 is rst secured to the stud l by driving the nail l therein and by placing the edges b of the Wall board i i against the clasp l of the device and thence by applying small squares or rectangles of lathing 5, as illustrated in Figure l, over the clasp i and by then bending the point a of the said clasp. This operation necessitates only the use of an ordinary hammer.
With particular reference to Figure 1, sections of rectangular Wall board Il are applied in staggered formation. Thus, by reason ofthe rotatable and slidable connection of the clasp 4 with the body members il, the nailing of the individual units need not necessarily be in perfect alignment with the board edges b, but the clasps 4 may be turned and positioned so as to engage the edges of the Wall board ll, as particularly illustrated in Figure 2.
Vlfhen applying metal lathing 6 instead of wall board. it is preferred that a strip of felt l2 or the like be positioned between the body 2 and the stud l, as illustrated in Figure 3, for sound insulation, the same being secured by units of the invention, that is the nail I is driven through the said felt and the clasp 4 is bent over and secured to the latch 6. The plaster can then be applied to the lathing and move in any direction Within the plane of the plastered surface, the same as in the described construction ernploying Wall board.
As illustrated in Figure 8, the exible material Il), in addition to its application as described. may also enclose a stripy of building paper i3 or similar material whereby the units of the invention. may be conveniently handled when being applied to studs or the like.
Manifestly, the structure shown is capable of considerable changes and modications from time to time by those skilled in the art and such changes and modiications as may be resorted to falling Within the spirit and intent of the invention may also be considered as falling within the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
