Definitions
- ABSTRACT A flooring system utilizing standard pattern conventional tongue and groove wood floorboards, the boards' being supported on transversely disposed spaced channels, metallic holding clips securing the boards in bearing engagement with the channels, the boards being free from any special slots for clip engagement, the clips engaging the boards in a driven penetrating relation below the tongues and grooves in a manner which does .not interfere with the tight vertical engagement of the tongues and grooves nor cause splitting of the boards, the clips engaging the channels each having a body portion vertically disposed between the boards below the tongues and grooves and having at the upper margin of the body portion a horizontally extending toothed portion driven in fiber-penetrating engagement into the board along the edge at locations wholly below the lower margin of the tongue on the tongue side of the board, and optionally, for greatly increased holding power having a penetrating portion extending into the groove side of the board below the groove.
- This invention relates to flooring systems and more particularly to wood flooring systems having standard pattern conventional wooden floorboards secured to channels.
- tongue and groove flooring boards have been manufactured with standardized edge profiles for a great number of years.
- the two standard thicknesses which comprise perhaps percent of the overall production are 25/ 32- inch thick and 33/32-inch thick.
- the tongues of such standard boards always have a tight vertical fit in the grooves of the adjacent boards, and the bottoms of the tongues are consistently located seven thirty-seconds inch above the bottoms of the boards. This is true in both the 33/32-inch thickness and in the '25/32-inch thickness.
- the system of the present invention differs from all previous attempts in that it permits the use of tight tongue and groove standard matched flooring which can be purchased from many dozens of mills, not from just a few mills that are in a position to do custom milling. Therefore, the cost of the wood, and particularly maple goes down substantially, and many mills can participate in the business. Additionally, the clip in no way interferes with the tight tongue and groove relationship by causing splitting and lifting and is not seated in such a way that its geometry or metal thickness interferes with the tight tongue and groove side matching.
- the flooring system of the present invention accomplishes the foregoing in a way which does not add expensive tongue removal costs to field labor costs thereby making it perhaps the most economical system in the history of the highperformance nonsplitting tight tongue and groove channel flooring systems.
- Clips of the present invention can provide up to about 400 pounds board to channelholding power each working within the seven thirty-seconds inch confines below side tongues and grooves. This level of holding power is recognized by major specification agencies throughout the United StatespClips of the present invention exert a transverse board shrinkage restraint at right angles to the channel approximately four times greater than that of competitive structures using standard matched flooring. Lastly, although this clip has an extremely good level of vertical holding power, the major design consideration is that the holding power is achieved within the available geometry of standard matched flooring and the clip in no way splits or lifts the board when seated while at the same time permitting the necessary tight tongue and groove side matching.
- the great economic benefit of the present invention is that it permits the use of relatively inexpensive standard pattern tongue and groove boards of twenty-five thirtyseconds inch and greater thickness and does not require custom tongue removal techniques to achieve noninterference clip seating and to avoid splitting and lifting. Because of the noninterference clip seating, boards are fully supported on the metal channel and can sustain very high vertical loads without causing board breakage around the clip. Also, the nonsplit and nonlift seating of the clip greatly enhances the vertical holding power of the clip in the board which pennits the channel to act as a stiffening bar and is important when taken in combination with tight tongue and groove side matching.
- a wood flooring system in which standard pattern conventional wooden tongued and grooved boards are secured to channels carried by the foundation, the securing being effected by clips which engage the floorboards at locations above the channels, in horizontally extending fiber-penetrating relation to the tongued edges of the boards below the tongues, and which may have additional horizontally extending portions for restraining them from movement out of holding position, such additional portions engaging the grooved edges of the boards below the grooves in fiber penetration and greatly enchancing the vertical holding power of the clips.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a portion of a flooring system in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view, enlarged, taken approximately on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view, taken approximately on the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a view in perspective of one form of holddown clip employed in connection with the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a view in perspective of another form of holddown clip which can be employed in connection with the invention.
- FIG. 6 is a view in perspective of another form of holddown clip which can be employed in connection with the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a view in perspective of another form of holddown clip which can be employed in connection with the invention.
- FIG. 8 is a view in perspective of another form of holddown clip which can be employed in connection with the invention.
- a supporting foundation or base 10 which may consist of a wood, concrete or other subfloor, is provided, upon which a plurality of channels 11 are secured in parallel relation and in level condition.
- the channels 11 can be secured as in my prior US. Pat. No. 3,031,725 but are preferably secured in place on the base 10 by the use of explosively applied fasteners 14.
- a waterproofing and vaporproofing coating 12 can be applied on the base 10 prior to securing the channels 11.
- Each of the channels 11 has a web 13 with side marginal portions 15 extending upwardly from the web 13 and inwardly extending rims 16 extending toward each other from the upper ends of the marginal portions 15, the rims 16 being substantially parallel to the web 13.
- the rims 16 have upper faces 17 and lower faces 18.
- the channels 11 are preferably formed to relatively close dimensional tolerances for enhancing their clip-holding action.
- the channels 11 can be made of any desired material of adequate strength, and are preferably of mild steel with a heavy galvanizing or other coating to prevent rusting.
- the floorboards 20 employed in connection with the flooring system of the present invention are of wood, which can be hardwood such as hard maple, or oak, or can be of softer wood, such as yellow pine, and can be of twenty-five thirtyseconds inch in thickness or thicker.
- the floorboards 20 are preferably of conventional type with flat top faces 21, longitudinal edge tongues 22 of any desired configuration, with upper and lower vertical longitudinal edge faces 23 and 24 therealong.
- the floorboards 20 on their edges opposite to those provided with the standard pattern tongues 22 have longitudinal edge grooves 25 for the reception of the standard pattern tongues 22 of contiguous boards 20, and preferably with a relatively snug fit and floorboards 20 with normal manufacturing tolerances are suitable.
- the floorboards 20 have upper and lower vertical side edge faces 26 and 27, respectively above and below the edge grooves 25, and have bottom faces 28 which may be provided with stressrelieving grooves 29.
- tion 30, at the bottom may have, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and- 7, oppositely extending feet 33 which support the clip C on the channel ll prior to installation and aid in retaining the clip C upright for installation.
- the body portions 30 are preferably dimensioned so as to have a tight overfit horizontally and vertically within the channel 11 and tightly at their side edges 32 with the interiors of the side margins and rims 16 of the channels 11 and bind thereagainst.
- the clip Cl there shown has, at the upper margin of the body portion 30, a plurality of horizontal teeth 34, shown as nonpointed, which penetrate face 24 below the tongue 22.
- the shaping of the teeth 34, with nonpointed ends as shown permits and aids wood fiber penetration by the teeth 34 for gripping but with a reduced tendency to splitting upon penetration when driven close to the ends of boards.
- teeth 34 can be of a length of about three-sixteenths of an inch and of a width at their roots, of about five-sixteenths of an inch.
- the body portion 30 of the clip C2 can have extending therefrom in the opposite direction from the teeth 34, a horizontally extending auxiliary tooth 35.
- the clip C3 there shown has, at the upper edge of the body portion 30 a plurality of horizontal teeth 36, shown as pointed, which penetrate face 24 below the tongue 22.
- the shaping of the teeth 36, as shown permits wood penetration by the teeth 36 for gripping.
- the teeth 36 may have the same length and root width as the teeth 34.
- the body portion 30 of the clip C4 can have extending therefrom in the opposite direction from the teeth 36, a horizontally extending auxiliary tooth 37.
- the clip C5 there shown has, at the upper edge of the body portion or web 30, a plurality of spaced horizontal relatively wide nonpointed teeth 38 extending from one side of the web 30 for insertion in the tongue sides of the boards in the fiber-penetrating relation therein and a plurality of spaced nonpointed horizontal teeth 39 opposite the teeth and an intermediate nonpointed tooth 40 opposite the space between the teeth 39, for insertion in the groove sides of the boards 20 in fiber-penetrating relation therein.
- the body portion or web 30 below the notches 31, and for engagement with the channel can have a lower base 41, of greater thickness than that of the web 30 and with rounded ends 42, the base 41 supporting the clip C5 for insertion.
- the channels 11 are mounted on and secured on the base 10 in spaced parallel relation.
- the spacing of the channels 11 can be varied as desired but a spacing on 12-inch centers is suitable for many installations.
- the floorboards 20 are now successively secured on the channels 11 by the clips C.
- the next board 20 is then brought so that its groove 25 receives the tongue 22 of the board 20 which has just been secured in place and has its upper side face 26 engaged with the upper side face 23 of the first-mentioned board 20.
- the clips C2, C4 or C5 are employed, their auxiliary teeth 35 or 37 are caused to penetrate the face 27 below the edge groove 25 and preferably a sufficient distance below so as not to damage the wood below the groove 25.
- This next board 20 is then secured in place by spaced clips C in the same manner as the first-mentioned board.
- the boards 20 with the teeth 34, 36 or 38 of the clips C engaged in penetrating relation at side edges 24 below the tongues 22 and with the tongues 22 engaged in the grooves 25 are firmly held by the clips C against upward displacement and are supported on the channels 11 against downward displacement.
- the clips C also hold the boards 20 against undesired transverse movement across the channels 11 by their firmly gripped engagement with the channels 11 and by virtue of the teeth 34, 36 or 38 in engagement in the boards 20.
- a flooring system employing standard pattern conventional wooden floor boards having side edge grooves and tongues engaging in said grooves comprising:
- said boards being transversely disposed above said channels and having lower faces engaging the upper faces of said rims
- said boards having immediately below said grooves and tongues spaced vertical edge faces,
