METALLIC LATHING.

SPECIFICATION-forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,679, dated January 24, 1882.

Application filed October 13, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ABRAHAM KNISELY, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, and a citizen of the United States, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Lathing, of which the following is a full description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical cross-section of a per- Io tion of a ceiling, showing two 'beams or girders, a furring or angle iron, metallic lathing, and the devices or means for attaching the lathing and furriug or angle iron; Fig. 2, a horizontal section on line ax of Fig. 1, looking down on the lathing; Fig. 3,atransverse vertical section on line y y of Fig. 1; Fig. 4, an enlarged detail, being a side elevation of the girder or beam clamp, receiving or supporting plate, and furring 0r angle iron; Fig.5, a top or plan view of the parts shown in Fig. 4; Fig.

6, an enlarged detail, being an end elevation of one section of the beam-clamp, the receiving or supporting plate, and tuning or angle iron; Figs. 7 and b, enlarged details, being a side and edge elevation, respectively, of the receiving or supporting plate.

This invention relates to means or devices for attaching the furring or angle irons to which metal lathing is secured to the girders 0 or beams, and the attachment ofthe metal lathing to the turring or angle iron, and has for its object to secure the furring or angle irons in proper position readily and quickly,

.without any waste of time or labor in adjust- 5 ing, marking, and fitting the same, and to taeh the lath in any effieientand reliable manner to the turring or angle irons; and its nature consists in providing a divided clamp to fit the girders or beams, and adapted to receive the furring or angle irons'and retain the same in position on the girders or beams; in providing a divided clamp to fit the girders 0r beams, and a supporting or retaining piece located between the sections of the clamp and 5 adapted 'to receive the angle'iron and retainit in position to be secured tothe girders or beams by the clamp; in providing the lath-attaching flange of the angleiron with openings for the passage of fastening-wires, and providing fastening-wires passing under thelathingand over the flange of the furring, through the openings in the furl'iug, to form a continuous binding, by which the lathing is secured in position; and in the several parts and combination of parts hereinafter set forth as new.

In the drawings, A represents the girders or beams. B B represent the sections of the clamp; U, the furring or angle iron support; D, the fur-ring or angle iron; E,--the natal lathing; a, the flange of the girders or beams; b, the clamp-openings to receive flange a; b, the depending ends for attaching the clampsection together; 0,-the opening in G for the furring or angle iron; 0, the tightening or clamping bolt; (1, the openings in the flange of D for the passage of the wires; 0, the binding or fastening wires; f, the openings for inserting belts or rivets through the clamp and furring.

The girders or beamsA maybe made of cast-iron or other suitable material, as usual, and may be of the form shown, orot' any other desired form, with a flange, a, to which the clamp can be attached, which flange may be oi the form shown or other suitable forms The sections B B, forming the clamp, may be made of malleable iron or other suitable material that can be cast or Otherwise formed into shape. As shown, each section has abody or main portion, at one end of Wllltil isa depending lipor end flange, I), having an opening through which a bolt or rivet, 0, passes, by meansofwhieh th e'twoseetions,wheninplaeeon the girder, are held together and in position so as not to slip oryield. The otherend ot'eaeh section is provided with an upturned ear'or flange of such form as to leave an opening. I), to receive the flange a of the girder or beam, the shape of the opening I) and of the flange acorresponding. I

The supporting-plate C may also be made of malleable iron or other suitable material,

The opening 0 corresponds in shape to the shape of the angle-iron, but, as shown, is somewhat larger than the thickness and width of the iron, in order to allow the plate 0 to slide easily in adjusting the clamp to the position of the girder or beam, and, as shown, the plate G has ledges or ribs on its side, against which the ends of the ears I) come in contact when the parts are together, and form a hearing which prevents the plate or the clamp-sections from turning on the bolt or rivet, and causes one part to support the other.

The furring or angle iron D may be of the form shown, or of any other suitable form, with the flange or portion against which the lathing is in conta t provided with openings for the passage of the binding-wires 0. These openings (1 may be of the form shown, with a mouth or opening leading to the edge of the flange, or they may be of any other form adapted to pass the wire alternately over the.

flange and under thelathing, between the opening, to form a continuous bind.

The lathing E maybe of the form shown, or.

the angle-iron a suitable bolt or rivet can bev passed to secure the angle-iron to the clamp.

In use, to attach the fnrring of angle iron to the girders or beams when the plate 0 is used, as many of such plates as there are girders or beams to be attached to are slipped onto tht-angle-iromand the attachmen'tis completed as follows: A plate, 0, with a section of the clamp, is moved on the iron until the desired position is reached beneath a girder; then the section of the clamp is slipped onto that side of the girder, the flange a entering the open-v ing 1); then the other section of the clamp is;

slipped onto the opposite side of the girder in the same manner, and the bolt or rivet 0 illserted and brought to place, locking the beam, sections, and plate together, and securing the same with the angle-iron to the beatn or'girder, andthis operation is repeated for each plate until all the plates 0 are attached. By this arrangement it will be seen that the furring or angle iron can be readily and quickly and easily placed and secured in position withoutthe flange between the openings d, in such manner that a binding will be furnished for all the laths, each wire furnishing the fastenings or bindings for alternate laths, one wire passing under a lath, thence up through a hole, (I, over the fiange of the angle-iron to the next hole d, thence down through that hole.

and under the lath, and then up through a hole d, and over the flange again, and so on to the end, and the other wire passing over the flange where the first wire passes under the lathing, and under the lathing where the first wire passes over the flange from end to end of the t'urring, so as to produce in connection with the first wire acontinuous binding, by which the lathing will be held securely in place.

By the use of this method of fastening no projecting surfaces are left, as where bolts or rivets are used, producing a better and more uniform surface to receive the plaster than where bolts or rivets are used, and at the same time the wires can be very easily and readily applied.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. A divided clamp consisting of two sections, B B, adapted to receive and support the furring or angle iron, and to be attached to the girder or beams to furnish a support for metallic lathing, substantially as specified.

2. A divided clamp consisting of two sections, B B, adapted to be attached to the girders or beams, in combination with a plate or support, O, for the t'urring or angleiron, for securing the fnrriug or angle iron in position, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

3. The binding-wires e, in combination with, the i'urring or angle iron D, having openings for the passage of the wire 6, and metallic lathing E, for attaching the lathing to the fnrring or angle iron bywinding the wires under the lathing and over the furring, substantially as specified.

4.' A divided clamp consisting of two sections, B B, and a plate or support, 0, in combination with the furring or angle iron D, having openings for the passage of wire, metallic lathing E, and binding-wires e, for securing metallic lathing to girders or beams, substantially as specified.
