Definitions
- the present invention is particularly concerned with the provision of an expans-ion splice for tile supporting 4grid members of fire retarding ceilings.
- grid members When subjected to extreme heat, such grid members seek to expand and will buckle if expansion cannot otherwise be acco-mmodated. Buckling of the grid system is ⁇ undesirable, because it tends to raise the tiles, or permit them to fall, or otherwise open the structure, thereby diminishing or destroying the re retarding qualities of the ceiling by permitting heat to escape through the buckled area.
- a primary object of our invention is to provide an expansion splice for joining a pair of tile supporting grid members in end to end relation, providing a strong and rigid joint yieldable under abnormally elevated temperatures to accommodate relative expansion movement of the spliced members.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an assembled splice of our invention, the s-pliced beam members being broken away for ease of illustration;-
- FIG. 2 is a side ⁇ elevational view thereof, on a lreduced scale, prior to assembly of the splice;
- FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view thereof on an enlarged scale, taken about on line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is la fragmentary, horizontal sectional view thereof, taken about on line 4-4 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary detailed view thereof, partly in side elevation and ypart-ly in section, showing the splice after expansion has occurred under abnormally elevated temperatures;
- FIG. 6 is a view similar to that of FIG. 5 but showing a slightly modified construction, -prior to expansion.
- FIGS. l-5 of the accompanying drawing there is shown a pair of tile supporting beams generally designated 1 and 2, joined in end to end relation by a splice of our invention, the splice member being generally designated 3.
- Beams 1 and 2 each are of generally inverted T form, having a normally upright web 4 surmounted by a laterally enlarged box sectioned reinforcing flan-ge S along the upper margin of the web and having a flange 6 projecting laterally from yopposite sides of the web at the lower margin thereof.
- the elements 4, 5 and 6 are conveniently fabricated from a single piece of metal, in a manner believed obvious from FIG. 1 and known in the art.
- Each beam 1 and 2 has lprovision in the form of slots 7 through the web thereof at spaced points therealong 3,284,977 Patented Nov. 15, 1966 ICC for receiving locking connectors of cross beams, not shown, which cross beams extend at right ngles to lthe beams 1 and 2.
- a supportin-g grid can be formed, as shown for example in our pending application Serial No. 359,588, filed April 14, 1964, for Expansion Joint for Supporting Grid Systems and the Like, to which reference is hereby made for further details.
- Splice .member 3 has a normally upstanding web 8 surmounted along its upper marginal edge by a partially open box sectioned head portion 9 designed for slip fit insertion of the beam marginal head 5 into the splice marginal head 9.
- web 8 of splice 3 lies against webs 4 of beams 1 and 2
- the head 9 of splice 3l encloses the heads 5 of beams 1 and 2, in a manner reinforcing and stabilizing the assembled beams, holding them against lateral deflection.
- Splice member 3 also is fabricated from a single piece of metal.
- splice member 3 is secured in assembled relation to beam 2, as by rivets 10 struck through apertures in the web 4 of beam 2, from the web 8 of splice member 3.
- Splice .member 3 projects lengthwise beyond beam 2, as a slightly offset continuation of the web and marginal head 5 thereof, for releasable interlocking engagement with beam 1.
- Beam 1 has a pair of key slots comp-rising keyway openings 11 and elongated slots 12 of lreduced height extending therefrom, in a direction away from the beam 2.
- Splice ⁇ member 3 has a pair of keys 13 in the form of oppositely directed ears struck there-from.
- FIG. 6 shows a slightly modified form, in which one of the projecting flange ends 6' is provided with an offset lip 15 overlapping t'he other projecting flange end 6. Upon a'bnormally elevated temperatures the one flange end will ride over the other, permitting the beams to move 4 v together, relatively speaking, thereby accommodating ex- 2.
- the end of beam 1 not shown in fixed relation thereto, and wherein said splice member in the drawing can correspond to the illustrated end of has a sliding interlock with the other of said beams, said another beam.
- end of beam 2 not ment of said beams. shown in the drawing can correspond to the illustrated 3.
- the ends of the beams which are of said 'beams is provided by a key slot in said web of not shown can have other configurations.
- our invention fully acber for sliding engagement in said key slot, together with complishes its intended purpose, providing an expansion a yieldable detent carried by said splice member and erisplice which is readily assembled and which can be disgaging in said key slot, said detent preventing relative assembled if desired by simply depressing the tongue 14 movement of said beams away from one another. out of locking engagement with the web 4 of beam 1. 15 4.
- An expansion splice for supporting grid systems and corresponding to said beam webs and an open bead the like comprising a pair of beams alined in abutting end formation along one marginal edge of said splice member to end relation and each having a web and a lateral ange, web receiving said beam bead formations and engaging said webs being recessed longitudinally of said beams the Same 011 OppOSite Sides thereof.
- one of said abutting anges has an oset lip overlapping and a splice member spanning said joint, said splice memthe '0111er thereof.
