SPLAY; Randolph L. Dietrich, LosIA igeles; Calif! '1 Application September 5, 1999 Seria l No..-293,32i 1 ..9'Claims, 4 01. 72-98) The present invention relates to improvements in splay beads and particularly to a splay bead incorporating a plastering element tieable with a plastered wall adjacent a window or door opening. L

One of the important objects of the invention is to provide a'splay beadin conjunction with a window or door opening and the plasteredpart of the wall adjacent such opening.

Another object of the invention is to provide 'in a splay bead construction a part'having a joint of leverage in relation tothe splay bead proper to accommodate the. application 'ofthe headto a trim'mernb'er and'a building member where irregularities exist between thetwo.

A further object of the invention is top'ro- 'vid'e in a splay bead construction improved strengthening means for maintaining a fixed relation of the beads edges and at the sametime providing improved means'forbonding or coa lescing the plaster comprising the plaster splay to the plaster comprising the wall.

A still further object of the invention is to provide in a splay. bead structure a rollededge portion over which the tools of a plasterer may operate in joining the plaster of "the splayand the'plaster of the wall.

Yet a still further object of the inventionresides in the improved application of plaster in 'a splay bead and the anchoring thereof therein.

Yet another object of the invention "resides in the novel method of constructing the'metal portion of the bead-whereby improved bracing and bonding means are provided.

The invention further relates to an improved sheet metal: article of manufacture for poses stated. Still other objects, features and advantages of invention, including the novel.combination of associated parts, will hereinafter appear.

Referring to the drawing, the brief description of figures includes Figure 1, which is a perspective view'illustrating the application of the splay the purbead to a conventional buildingstructure; Fig-. 'ure 2 which is a perspective view of a portion of considerable extent the-basal flange 8.

double ply portion, one'ply l of which is continued in a flat plane to' form a basal flange 8, the other ply 9 being directed right angularly away from the basal part along a line 10 thus producing'a run H which terminates in a flange l2 which-overhangs that face of the run 9 which is adjacent to the basal flange'8. I

The part: of the-strip having the angular bend l'llis provided with pairs of slits cut transversely through its angular portion and then the metal strips l5 between thepaired slits are bent out-. wardly'from the angle 10 thus'furnishing a series of struts which stabilize the metal run It in its right'angularly directed position. The metal strips l5 are bent to shorten them, desirably being corrugated, as shown, thus not only strengthening them but producing a better anchorage for the plastering.

Speaking ofrtheflnovel method whereby the metal portion of the structure is produced, the strip of sheet metal forming the same is first longitudinally bent to a right angle. It is then transversely slit across said angle, whereupon the stock of metal between the slits is foreshort- "ened (by'corrugating'or otherwise bendingit) thereby producing the irregular hypotenuse strip or stripsil5 thattperforms a bracing function betweentthe two metal sides that subtend the angle. Lastly, by a backward'rolling of the edge portion of the side H; the flange I2 is produced.

In Figures 1 andj3 the strip 5 is shown associated with 'a window jamb'25, room wall 26 consisting of the 'plasterportion 2'! and the underlying 1ath'portion28, and stud 29, the basal flange 8 being interposed between said stud and the lath portion of said wall and the double ply portion of'zthe strip overlying an edge surface of the jamb; edge surface of the stud 29. In putting the: strip in'place its double ply portion is firsti'sec'ured' to" the jamb or trim-member 25 by nails 39, one of which are shown in Figure 1. Then the basal flange 8 is secured to the stud 29' by nails 3l=in whichever direction and to whatever extent may be necessary to seat said flange upon the edge portion of said stud, it being understoodthat the edge faces of said stud and jamb do not always line in the same plane. .The attached, two ply portion of the strip faffordsasecure leverage from which the flangeportion 8 thereof may be deflected to the "desired extent, as aforesaid.

After the strip has been attached in the man ner statedthe lath-portion- 28 of the wall will be secured in place by nails '32 overlying to a Then bead structure is applicable to a room wall having in it openings other than window openings.

It is to be understood that the present disclosure is for the purpose of illustration only and that the invention includes all modifications and equivalents that fall within the scope of the subject matter claimed.

What is claimed is:

l. A splaybead member consisting of a sheet metal strip rebent upon itself along a line in a parallel spaced relation to its long edges, thus providing in said strip a double ply of metal, one of the plies being extended beyond the other in the same plane, thus providing a flat basal flange, and the other of said plies being right angularly deflected away from said basal flange along a straight longitudinal line which extends in a parallel spaced relation to the long outer edge of said basal flange, the strip being provided with pairs of transverse slits which extend through the part thereof which is right angularly bent, the metal between the paired slits being bent outwardly from the angle thus forming struts extending from said basal flange to the right angularly extending ply.

2. The subject matter of claim 1 and, said struts having bends whereby their lengths are shortened and additional anchorage is furnished for plaster.

3. The subject matter of claim 1 and, said struts being corrugated thus shortening them and affording additional anchorage for plaster.

4. A splay bead member consisting of a sheet metal strip rebent upon itself along a line in a parallel spaced relation to its long edges, thus providing in said strip a double ply of metal, one of the plies being extended beyond the other in the same plane, thus providing a flat basal flange, and the other of said plies being right angularly deflected away from said basal flange along a straight longitudinal line which extends in a parallel spaced relation to the long outer edge of said basal flange, the strip being provided with pairs of transverse slits which extend through the part thereof which is right angularly bent, the metal between the paired slits being bent outwardly from the angle thus forming struts extending from said basal flange to the right angularly extending ply, said right angularly bent portion of the strip having its free edge furnished with a longitudinal flange which is directed toward the single ply side of said basal run, thereby furnishing a finished edge along the line of the juncture of said flange with the strip portion of which it forms a part.

5.
