Application October 21, 1957, Serial No. 691,304
3 Claims. (Cl. 189-34) This invention relates to structural members, and, moreparticularly, to a metal nailing beam or rstud lnto which nails may be driven.
A primary object of the invention is to provide such a nailing beam which may be employed as a substitute for a conventional wooden stud in building construction and to which interior finish Wall panels may be nailed.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a nailing beam which, despite a wide variation in manufacturing tolerances and substantial variations in nail dimensions, will grip and hold nails driven thereinto.
Still another object of the invention is to provide such a nailing beam which does not require special types of expensive nails, but which will grip and hold the cheapest types of conventional nails.
Another object of the invention is to furnish such a nailing beam having a simple construction'which is cheap to fabricate.
Other objects and advantages will appear from the following specilication and drawings, which are for the purpose of illustration only, and in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view, partly in section, of a longitudinal segment of the invention; and
Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 and illustrates wall panels nailed to each side of the nailing beam.
Referring to the drawing, I show a nailing beam comprising a pair of longitudinal mating members 11 and 12, each of which has a ilat central web portion 13 provided with two pairs of longitudinal undulations 14 and 15 adjacent its outer edges. The member 11 has a pair of longitudinal ilanges 16 and 17 along its outer edges, and the member 12 has a similar pair of llanges 18 and 19 along its edges. The anges 16, 17, 18, and 19 are identical and each ilange, referring to the flange 18 for example, includes an outer flange portion 20 which is bent outwardly at an angle of about 45 degrees from the central web 13, and has a longitudinal undulation 20a therein, includes a flat outer face portion 21 bent inwardly from the outer edge of the outer ilange portion and perpendicular to the Web portion 13, and includes an inner flange portion 22 bent inwardly at an angle to the outer face portion and substantially parallel to the outer ilange portion 20, the Width of the ange portion 22 being such that its inner edge engages in spring contact the inner edge of the flange portion 22 of the flange 16.
The longitudinal members 11 and 12 mate together as shown, with the inner surfaces of their webs 13 in faceto-face contact and their longitudinal undulations 14 and 15 likewise mating, and are rigidly secured together as by metal stitching 23. The mating of the longitudinal undulations 14 and 15 of the members 11 and 12 serves to index the members together in their desired relative positions during manufacture, and they and the longitudinal undulations 20a -serve to strengthen the entire structure, both of which are objects of the invention.
2,913,076 Patented Nov. v17, 1959 ICC When so assembled, the adjacent inner edges 24 of they inner flange portions 22 engage each other in springy contact.
As shown in. Fig. 2, the nailing beam 10 may be used to-space a pair of wooden panels 25 and 26 or the like,A`
exercisedl by the'workman other than to drive the nails into the relatively wide nail receiving throat between the outer ilat face portions 21 of the longitudinal ilanges (16 and 17). Such ilat outer portions 21 provide a ilat bearing surface of substantial area engageable with the panels 25 and 26, which is another feature of the invention.
Formed in the central web portions 13 of the longi-V tudinal members 11 and 12, at spaced intervals as desired, are registering openings 28 and 29, respectively. Such openings are provided to permit electric wiring, conduit, or the like, to be passed through the nailing beam.
My nailing beam 10 provides a simple, rigid construction which is easy and economical to fabricate and assemble, and is readily employed in place of conventional wooden beams or studs.
Although I have shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not desire to be limited thereto, but desire to be ailorded the full scope of the following claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. A nailing beam including: a pair of longitudinal mating members, each of said members having a generally ilat central web and having a longitudinal ilange on each side thereof, each of said webs having a plurality of longitudinal undulations adjacent the llanges, the undulations of one of said webs mating with the undulations of the other of said webs, said webs being in back-to-back contact throughout their length and Width, each of said ilanges comprising an outer llange portion bent outwardly at an angle of about 45 degrees to its web and having a llat outer face portion bent inwardly from the outer edge of said outer ilange portion and perpendicular to said web, and having an inner ilange portion bent inwardly from the inner edge of said outer face portion and parallel to but spaced from said outer ilange portion, said inner flange portions forming a nail-receiving throat for guiding a nail between said Webs at the undulations and having an entry space several times as large as the nail to be received thereby, the width of each inner ilange portion being such that its inner edge engages in spring contact the inner edge of the adjacent inner ilange portion of the other member.
2. A nailing beam inclu-ding: a pair of longitudinal mating members fastened together in back-to back relationship, each of said members having a generally ilat central web and having a longitudinal ilange on each side thereof, each of said flanges comprising an outer llange portion bent outwardly at an angle of about 45 degrees to its web and having a at outer face portion bent inwardly from the outer edge of said outer ilange portion and perpendicular to said web, and having an inner ilange portion bent inwardly from the inner edge of said outer face portion and parallel to but spaced from said outer llange portion, said inner flange portions forming a -nail-receiving throat having an entry space several times as large as the nail to be received thereby, the width of each inner ange portion being such that its inner edge engages in spring contact the inner edge of the adjacentA tions of one of said webs mating with the undulations` of the other of said Webs, said webs being in back-toback contact' throughout their length and width, said webs being rigidly secured together adjacent said undulations at spaced-apart points so that a nail may be driven between said mating undulations to force them.
apart to gnp and hold the nail, each of said flanges comprising an outer ange portion bent outwardly at an angle of about 45 degrees to its web with a longitudinal undulation therein and having a at outer face portion bent inwardly from the-outer edge of said outer flange portion and perpendicular to said web, and having an inner ange portion bent inwardly from the inner edge of said outer face portion and parallel to but spaced from said outer flange portion, said inner flange portions forming a nail-receiving throat for guiding a nail into said mating undulations and having an entry space several times as large as the nail to be received thereby, the width of each inner flange portion being such that the distance between its inner edge and the inner edge of the adjacent inner flange portion of the other web is less than the thickness of a nail to be driven therebetween.
