CONTROL JOINT FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Filed May 2, 1963 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 jmjwwfiaw BYJOHN KENNETH WISE ATTORNEY 3,192,577 COQL JGINT FOR BUILDING CGNS'I'RUCTIQN Thomas Reginald Barr, Hinsdale, 111., assignor to United States Gypsum Company, Chicago, BL, a corporation of Elimois Filed May 2, 1963, Ser. No. 277,553 Claims. (Cl. -?2) This invention relates to control joints for exterior and interior building construction. Said control joints are often referred to in the building construction art as expansion joints.
Moisture, thermal, and/ or constitutional changes in building materials, as well as settling or deflecting of supporting structures, may cause cracks to appear in materials such as plaster and the like used to construct interior Walls or ceilings, and, in materials such as Portland cement stucco used to construct exterior walls. Periodic breaks or spaces may be provided in the walls or ceilings, particularly when large surface areas are involved, to allow segments thereof to expand or contract and thereby minimize the tendency for cracks to appear therein, i.e., the spaces provide means for expending forces that tend to cause cracks. It is conventional practice to place control joints at the spaces which coact with ends of said segments when the ends move toward or away from each other, and, it is a general object of this invention to provide an improved control joint that coacts with ends of wall or ceiling segments.
It is another object of this invention to provide a control joint with means to minimize the tendency of ends of wall or ceiling segments to separate from portions thereof.
It is another object of this invention to provide a control joint which freely coacts with said ends.
It is another object to provide means to facilitate application of construction material such as plaster, Portland cement and the like against portions of a control joint whereby a uniform depth of the material may be effected resulting in a uniform wall or ceiling thickness.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide means preventing construction materials from rendering a control joint inoperative during application of the materials against said control joint, said means also enabling an attractive appearance at a position in a wall or ceiling whereat said control joint is operatively placed.
Other objects and advantages will appear from the description, accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fragmentary interior wall showing a control joint and other wall components.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of a symmetrical joint otherwise similar to that shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the control joint in FIG. 1.
FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 illustrate, perspectively, other embodiments of the control joint.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, panel supporting wood studs 2i) and 2.2 are spaced apart. Lath panels 24, such as gypsum lath having a paper covering surrounding a plaster core 26, are secured by nails 27 (other type fasteners may be used) to the studs leaving a space between opposing ends of the panels sufficient to allow for an anticipated expansion or contraction of wall segments. Control joint 28 is then secured to stud 22 by driving nails 27 through base portion or flange 30, then through edges of the panels underlying flange 30, and into the stud. Cementitious material 32, gypsum plaster as an example, is applied over the panels and against the control joint, and surface material 34, gauged lime as an example,
United States Patent 0 is applied over the cementitious material. Alternately, stud 22 can be spaced further from stud 20 than is illustrated, and, flange 3% can be secured to panels 24 by staples or otherwise without securing the control joint to stud 22. As illustrated in FIG. 2, another angle member having a flange 30a and upright 58a and another linking member 68a may be provided and connected to key member Sit, thereby efiecting a symmetrical control joint.
It is to be understood that the control joint is not limited for use with materials in the wall construction thus described. Other materials may be used, and as examples, metal studs may be used in place of wood studs, an open metal material such as expanded metal lath may be substituted for the lath panels, and screw fasteners or staples may be used in place of the nails. Moreover, for ceilings, a grid of channels, wire hung from an overlying floor or ceiling, may be used to support expanded metal lath, and, gypsum plaster with a guaged lime coat thereon can be applied to the metal lath. For exterior use, concrete blocks may be spaced apart and the control joints placed at spaces thus provided. Portland cement stucco may be applied to the blocks and against the control joints.
Cover members 42 and 44, adapted to cover edges of opposing ends of wall or ceiling segments, extend outwardly and generally in opposite directions from control elements 38 and 40, respectively. Tape 46, masking tape having a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to one surface as an example, is adapted for adherence to said cover members and spans over the control member thereby preventing entrance of the cementitious material and the surface material between the control elements during application of the materials to the control joint which would tend to render the control member inoperative. The tapes are stripped from the cover members after the application thereby unveiling a clean and neat appearing wall whereat control joints are installed.
Of importance are a pair of key members 43 and 50 associated with cover members 42 and 44, respectively. Said key members may be disposed slightly inwardly toward the cover members thereby disposing screed portions 52 and 54 outwardly from the cover members thus preventing undercuts between the screed portions and the cover members tending to hinder the placement and stripping of a tape 4-6. However, the key members should be substantially perpendicularly disposed to the cover members to thereby allow the key members to extend into the cementitious material preventing separation of the material from control element it and upright portion 58 as wall or ceiling segments contract.
The key members are provided with screed portions 52 and 54 which extend above surfaces of the cover members 42 and 44, respectively, the remaining portions of the key members extending below said surfaces. Said screed portions provide gauges or grounds enabling an artisan to apply a uniform depth of Cementitious and surface materials over panels 39. The artisan will firstly trowel Cementitious material 32 over the panels, and will then trowel a thin layer of surface material 34 thereon by moving the trowel against the screed portions.
To secure the control joint through a panel to wood stud 22, or alternately to a panel edge solely, the control m r (I) joint is provided with angle member 56. Said angle member includes upright portion or flange 53 disposed substantially perpendicularly to base portion or flange 39. When stud attachment is desirable, the control joint is secured to wood stud 22 by driving nails 27 through fiange 30, through edges of panels 24 underlying the flange, and into the stud. Nail holes 66 facilitate entrance of the nails through flange 38, and, apertures 62 together with scoops 64 allow the cementitious material to enter through the flange and adhere to the underlying edges of the lath panels. The scoop elements 6 3 face the upright portion 58 of the angle member and when embedded in the set cementitious material 32act to prevent separation of the material 32 from the joint during normal contraction and expansion of the wall and ceiling surfaces. As illustrated in FlG. 2, the scoops 64 are preferably located substantially opposite the key members 4-8 so that they cooperate to maintain the control element in intimate contact with the material 32. Stiffeners 66 may comprise ridge elements extending across the junction of the upright portion 58 and the base portion 38 to effect rigidity of angle member 56 especially important during movement of a troweling against the screed portions during application of the materials 32 and 34 which thereby aids in effecting a uniform depth of the materials over the panels. Alternately, the angle member may be provided with an expanded metal flange 3i? providing openings similar in function to apertures 62 and scoops 64 (not illustrated).
FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of a control joint that may be made from plastics or other extrudable material. Upright portion 58 is illustrated as connected substantially at the juncture of control element 38 with cover member 42 thereby obviating the need for a linking member. Fillet portion 74 provides rigidity to the control joint similarly to the rigidity imparted by stiffeners 66' in other embodiments.
The size of the control joints thus described will depend on the use intended. For the use illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, lath panels 24 can be about in thickness, cementitious material 32 can be about and surface material 34 can be about A The height of control joint 28 measured from base portion 30 to screed portion 52 and measured parallel to the upright portion can be a about /2" since said height is the ground size of the materials applied over the panels. Other heights are possible and include 7s, and 1", and for these sizes, a width, measured from screed portion to screed portion, can be about As". Moreover, the control joints can be made from any suitable resilient material such as plastics and sheet metal as examples. Alloyed zinc in about a thickness of .014" is suitable for the aforementioned di mensions. 7
While several embodiments of this invention are described and illustrated, it will be understood, of course, that the invention is not to be limited thereto, since modifications may be made, and it is contemplated therefore by the appended claims to cover any such modifications 4 as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
