Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A building wall or other partition and a system for making such partitions in which individual wallboards or panel members can be removed and rearranged by being simply snapped into place and removed from studs is disclosed.
  • the wallboards are held in position by resilient fastener clips which receive beads formed on supporting beams or studs.
  • This invention relates to fixed and portable building construction and, more specifically, relates to building partitions, such as walls, ceilings, etc. which usually are constructed after completion of the supporting structure of the building. Still more specifically, this invention relates to building partitions made up of panel members in which the panel members may be removed, rearranged, and replaced individually without the necessity of disturbing adjacent panel members.
  • wall or other partition construction systems involve panels which include elements which protrude from the surface of the panel or from the edge of the panel, or both, thereby making it difficult or impossible to stack the panels during storage and use without injury to the panels or to the fastening means. It is extremely important, in terms of economics and practical handling, that the panel members of which a partition is constructed be capable, before assembly, of being stacked for storage, transportation and general handling.
  • panel members such as wallboards, etc.
  • panel members may be of any conventional construction and composed of any desired material or combination of materials.
  • Substantially any type of unfinished, partially finished, or completely prefinished panel member may be used in the system and construction of the present invention without modification, except for the addition of a fastener strip which does not affect the storage, shipping, or handling characteristics of the panel members.
  • fastener strips which form a part of the inventive system and construction can be permanently secured to the panel members at the factory without making the panel members delicate, unwieldy, or difficult to store, ship and handle.
  • Fastener clips are quickly and easily attached to the panel members at the job site during the assembly operation, thereby avoiding the difficulties inherent in the prior art systems which use preattached but complex fasteners and the difficulties associated with the prior art systems in which complicated and expensive attachments, fasteners, edges, etc. must be secured to the panel at the job site.
  • the panel members which form a part of the system and of the partition can be snapped into place and removed simply by moving the panel members directly toward the supporting beam or stud for installation and by moving the panel members directly away from the supporting beam or stud to unsnap the panel from its position. Longitudinal or vertical movement is, therefore, not required. This obviates the necessity for providing large and often unsightly space at the end of each of the panel members.
  • An important economic feature of the invention is that all of the elements of the system and of the wall or other partition structure are easily, simply and economically constructed using conventional materials and techniques.
  • the strips, clips and beams or studs which form elements of the system and the structure can be manufactured on a large scale using mass production techniques and a minimum of equipment,
  • Snap-on building elements are known in the prior art, but such elements usually require the association of a large number of complex elements which must be assembled entirely or largely in the field.
  • the system and construction of the present invention significantly reduces the number of parts required for field assembly, simplifies the field construction techniques and substantially reduces the time and cost of installation.
  • a wallboard, or other panel member, of any desired size, shape, finish or style is provided with a fastener strip along one or more edges.
  • the fastener strip lies flat on the wallboard and is provided with means for securing fastening clips to the wallboard during assembly of a wall at the job site.
  • Fastening clips having a base portion by which the clips are attached to the wallboards and resilient grip pers are attached to the wallboards at the construction site.
  • the resilient grippers receive beads formed on studs or other supporting beams for securing the wallboards to the studs to form a wall, or other partition.
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the elements of the inventive system and construction showing one form of a supporting stud-type beam, a fastener clip, and a fastener strip secured to a wallboard;
  • FIG. 4 is a transverse section of a wall joint showing the construction of the invention using another type of stud;
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded view of another type of means for fastening clips to a wallboard showing a fastener strip and a fastener clip;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective showing the fastener means of FIG. 5 in assembled position
  • FIG. 7 is an exploded view of a preferred alternative embodiment of the inventive system.
  • FIG. 8 is a plan view of the modified fastener clip shown in FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawing illustrates in elevation the structure and system of the present invention in which panels 10 and 12 are secured to a stud 14 by means of fastening strips 16 and 18 which, respectively, are secured to the panels 10 and 12 and by means of a plurality of fastener clips exemplified at 20 and 22.
  • the wall or building partition comprises two or more stud type beams as illustrated at 14.
  • the stud is referred to as a form of a beam even though it is normally constructed and arranged for vertical disposition, since insofar as the present invention is concerned, it is not material whether the beam is vertically or horizontally disposed.
  • a beam In the vertical position such a beam would normally be referred to as a stud, whereas, it would normally be referred to as a joist in the horizontal position, herein it would support a ceiling partition rather than a wall partition as illustrated in FIG. I.
  • At least one fastener strip is secured to each wall board, or other type of panel member, to form means for securing fastener clips to the wallboard.
  • the fastener strip may be secured to the wallboard adhesively using any of the conventional construction adhesives, such as phenolic, epoxy and urea formaldehyde type adhesives.
  • the fastener strip such as is illustrated at 24 in FIG. 2, may be secured to a wallboard 26 by means of frictional fasteners such as a tine fonned from the strip, at opening 28, and extending into the wallboard.
  • frictional fasteners such as screws, rivets, nails, etc., may also be used.
  • the fastener strip may have formed therein a plurality of key shaped apertures having an enlarged portion formed and adapted to receive the base of a fastener clip and a smaller portion 32 formed and adapted to engage the base of a fastener clip to secure the fastener clip to the wallboards or other panel member.
  • the fastener clip comprises a base portion 34 and a pair of opposed resilient grippers which, when assembled, extend approximately perpendicularly outwardly from the plane of the panel member to which the clip is attached.
  • the clip is attached to the panel member by means of a fastener strip on the panel member which, in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, is provided with apertures which receive and engage the base of the fastener clip.
  • Other means for securing the fastener clip to the wallboard and fastener strip may, of course, be provided without deviating from the present invention.
  • the fastener clip could be provided with a hook which would engage in a slot in the fastener strip, could be secured to the fastener strip by means of a frictional fastener such as a screw, rivet, etc., or could even be adhesively secured to the fastener strip, although the latter procedure would severely impair field assembly of walls according to this invention.
  • the stud 40 as illustrated in FIG. 3 is in the form of a hollow beam having four side or web portions 42, 44, 46 and 48, side 48 showing a seam line 50 which would normally result from fabrication of the stud from sheet metal.
  • the seam may be welded or otherwise joined, if required.
  • a plurality of beads, four beads in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, extend outwardly from the center of the stud, as illustrated at 52, 54, 56 and 58.
  • the stud is shown to be a rectangle in substantially square configuration; however, no significance is attached to the rectangularity or the squareness of the configuration.
  • the stud may be of any desired shape so long as beads or sets of beads extend outwardly from the center and are constructed and adapted to be received resiliently between the grippers of the fastener clip.
  • the studs are conventionally so constructed as to include two sets of spaced beads extending outwardly in opposite directions from the center of the studs.
  • the studs are so constructed and the beads are so disposed that the respective sets of beads are adapted to receive fastener clips on the edges of two different wallboards on each side of the stud, only one set of two wallboards being shown in FIG. 1.
  • a double wall is constructed of the wallboards wherein the adjacent edges of the wallboards on each side of the studs are in closely abutting relationship.
  • FIG. 4 Such a wall partition construction is illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • a stud 60 in generally I-l-shaped cross-sectional configuration, has one pair of beads 62 and 64 extending in one direction and another pair of beads 66 and 68 extending in the other direction from the center of the stud.
  • the wall also includes wallboards 70 and 72.
  • Fastener strips 74 and 76 are secured proximate and substantially parallel to each longitudinal side of the wallboards and are so secured and arranged on the wallboards as to cause adjacent edges of the wallboards to lie in the closely abutting relationship illustrated in the finished wall partition.
  • a plurality of fastener clips, such as clip 78 are secured along the length of the fastener strip 74.
  • a plurality of fastener clips 80 are secured along the length of the fastener strip 76.
  • the fastener clips exemplified at 78 and 80 resiliently receive the beads 62 and 64 along the length of the wallboard.
  • the wallboards 82 and 84 are in like manner held in position by means of fastener strips 86 and 88 and by fastener clips arranged in spaced relationship along the length of the strips as illustrated at 90 and 92.
  • Frictional fastening of the fastener strip 88 by means of a tine 94 which extends into the wallboard 84 is illus trated in FIG. 4 also.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 Another form of fastener strip and fastener clip attachment is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the fastener strip 96 is provided with an aperture 98 and lugs 100 and 102.
  • a fastener clip 104 is received in the aperture 98 and secured in place by driving the lugs 100 and 102 downwardly into the position illustrated in FIG. 6.
  • the lugs 100 and 102 are in the same plane as the strip 96.
  • At least one fastener strip is secured on each panel member so as to lie substantially flat on the panel member, such as the wallboard panel members illustrated, such that no protrusions extend beyond the surface or the edge of the wallboard. This permits a multiplicity of such wallboards to be stacked, prior to assembly, without damage either to the fastener strips or to the panel members.
  • the first step, on the site, is to lift the lugs 100 and 102. Thereafter, the clip 104 is placed in position and the lugs are driven back into the plane of board.
  • the fastener clips are simply slid through the enlarged portion of the key shaped aperture into the smaller portion of the aperture for securement to the fastener strip and the wallboard.
  • the clip is placed in the proper position and hit once or twice with a hammer to drive it into abutting relationship with the end of the smaller portion of the key shaped aperture.
  • a wallboard or other panel member 110 is secured by means of a fastener strip 112, which includes spaced keyhole shaped apertures 114 and 116, and by fastener clips 118 and 120 to a stud type beam 122.
  • the fastener clips 118, shown in greater detail in FIG. 8, and 120 include a square base portion 124 from which resilient gripper portions 126 and l28 extend. The clips can be received in the apertures so that the clip openings are aligned with longitudinal axis of the strip, as shown in FIG. 7, or so that the clip openings are transverse of the axis of the strip, as desired.
  • the modified stud 122 is normally composed of extruded aluminum but other materials can be used.
  • the stud 122 has two side web portions 130 and 132, each carrying two beads shown respectively at 134 and 136 and at 138 and 140.
  • the two side web portions 130 and 132 are secured in spaced relation by a center web portion 142 which is so constructed as to form a raceway 144 for receiving electrical conductors, such as telephone cables, intercommunication system wiring, etc.
  • the walls of the raceway can be drilled or cut at any desired point to provide for entry and exit of the electrical conductors into and out of the raceway.
  • the wallboards may be secured into position simply by pushing the individual wallboards directly toward the stud such that the fastener clips resiliently engage the respective beads on the studs. No vertical movement is required and, consequently, it is not necessary to provide a space at the end of the panel, as is the case in all or most of the prior art systems.
