Joseph W. Schneller ATTORNEY United States Patent Ofiice 3,011,693 Patented Dec. 5, 1961 3,011,603 STUD SHOE CLIP Joseph W. Schneller, Eggertsville, N.Y., assignor to National Gypsum Company, Buffalo, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed Oct. 20, 1958, Ser. No. 768,392
1 Claim. (Cl. 18935) This invention is directed to a novel clip for attaching a structural stud shoe to a lightweight nonload-bearing metal stud.
In the construction of building partitions with lightweight metal studs, elongate metal channels are first aflixed to the floor and the ceiling, and metal studs are vertically mounted at spaced positions extending substantially therebetween. The top and bottom ends of the vertical studs are attached to respective channels by stud shoes having a short extent of channel form for disposition around the edge of the stud at an end portion, one stud shoe normally being disposed on each of the two edges at each of the two ends of the stud. The stud shoes further comprise means for attachment to the respective channels. The two shoes at one end of a stud are, in prior structures, afiixed to the studs by wrapping a wire around the structure, tying the two opposed shoes tightly to the stud end portion.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a simpler, more rapidly applied means than heretofore for attaching the two stud shoes at one end of a stud to the stud end portion.
It is a further object to provide such more readily applied means by a unitary heavy-gauge resilient wire clip of greater strength and permanence than prior means of wire tying.
These and other objects of the invention will be more readily apparent when considered in relation to the preferred embodiment as set forth in the specification and shown in the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the end portions of a metal stud mounted in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a side View of the stud shoe clip of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a top view of the clip of FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown an elongate vertical lightweight metal partition stud 10, the major center portion being not shown, but being similar in structure to the two end portions shown. The stud is mounted and held in a permanent vertical position by two opposed stud shoes 12, of standard known form, each having a short extent of channel 14 at one end thereof holding the stud end portion and formed at the opposite end with a flat horizontally extending lip 16 driven in and frictionally held between a ceiling track 18 and ceiling 29 at the top and between a floor track 22 and the floor 24 at the bottom. Prior to positioning the lips 16 as abovesaid, the ceiling track 18 is rigidly atfixed to ceiling and the floor track 22 is rigidly afiixed to floor 24, as by nailing, along the disposition desired for construction of a partition.
The combination of stud 10, stud shoes 12 and ceiling track 18 or floor track 22, for respectively the stud top mounting or stud bottom mounting, is locked firmly and permanently into a final rigid framing structure by a generally c-shaped wire, stud shoe clip 30, of preferably #12 gauge basic galvanized wire. Clip 30 includes a relatively long cross-leg 32 having an L-shaped short hook-arm 34 extending generally perpendicularly therefrom at one end for fixedly engaging and holding the outer face of one shoe channel 14 against stud 10, and a snap-on arm 36 extending from the opposite end of cross-leg 32, generally parallel to, but slightly inward toward, arm 34, for resiliently removable engagement against the outer face of an opposite shoe channel 14 which is disposed tightly against the opposite side of stud 10.
The cross-leg 32 is of just sufiicient length that when hook-arm 34 is disposed against the outer face of one shoe channel 14 tight against stud It the snap-on arm 36 is also disposed against the outer face of an opposite shoe channel 14 also tight against stud 1! Thus, various size clips 30 will be used with varying widths of studs commonly used, dependent on the stud width.
The hook-arm 34, having a short, inwardly directed hook-end 38 is of just sufiicient length to extend across the outer face of a shoe channel 14 with the hook-end extending around the remote corner of the channel outer face.
The snap-on arm 36 has a slightly inwardly directed turn 40 spaced from the cross-leg 32 a distance equal to the outer face of a shoe channel, and in the preferred form, as shown, has immediately outwardly thereof an outwardly directed turn 42 forming an outwardly directed end portion 44 to provide ease of application of the clip 30.
The clip is applied by disposing the hook-end 38 around a remote corner of one channel outer face and pushing outwardly directed end portion 44 of the snap-on arm 36 across the outer face of an opposite channel outer face.
Thus, whereas prior wrapping and tying together two opposed stud shoes required several seconds, clip 30 of the present invention is applied in a fraction of a second, providing a substantially stronger improved structure.
Having completed a detailed disclosure of the preferred embodiments of my invention so that those skilled in the art may practice the same, I contemplate that variations may be made without departing from the essence of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
In combination with a vertical metal stud, a horizontal track member, and a pair of stud shoes each having one end affixed to said track member and an opposite end portion of channel form each disposed about opposed side edges of an end portion of said stud, a novei resilient wire clip of generally C-shape disposed tightly about the channel portions of both opposed stud shoes, said clip comprising a straight cross-leg substantially equfl in length to the width of said stud and disposed adjacent one side of said stud, an L-shaped hook-arm extending from one end of said stud-leg around the outer face and opposite side of the channel portion of one said stud shoe, and a snap-on arm extending from the opposite end of said cross-leg substantially parallel to said hook-arm and being disposed adjacent the outer face of the channel portion of the opposite said stud shoe, said snap-on arm further comprising a relatively small, inwardly disposed, retaining turn, spaced from said cross-leg a distance substantially equal to the width of the outer face of the channel portion of said stud shoe.
