Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Load bearing members the ends of which are tapered and stiffened by means of a rib in the central web of the member. Build-up of runner-tracks into which the members are inserted is eliminated.
  • the rib also serves to taper the end of the member an amount which permits a snug fit within the track without increasing the spacing of the track side flanges so as to cause build-up.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide such load bearing members while minimizing stresses caused by shaping the ends of the members in accomplishing the above objects.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of a load bearing member assembled in a wall in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken along line II II of FIG. I, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the member;
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are fragmentary perspective views of other embodiments of the invention, the wallboards having been omitted for clarity;
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary side elevational view, partly in section, of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view similar to FIG. 4, but of yet another embodiment.
  • FIG. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to FIG. 1 but illustrating still another embodiment similar to that shown in FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view of a further embodiment, the runner track having been omitted for clarity.
  • FIG. 9 is a fragmentary side elevational view, partly in section similar to FIG. 1 but of yet another embodiment.
  • the invention concerns load bearing members, such as studs and joists, which have special end treatment so as to eliminate web crippling and runner track buildup.”
  • load bearing members such as studs and joists, which have special end treatment so as to eliminate web crippling and runner track buildup.”
  • Such members can be used in any type of construction.
  • FIG. I there is illustrated by way of example a load bearing stud l0 assembled with conventional planoform wallboard panels 12 to form a wall 14.
  • the middle part 16 of the stud has not been illustrated in detail other than to show a conventional conduit aperture or passage 17.
  • the ends 30 of the stud are fitted in a manner more specifically described below in a runner track 18 which has a conventional shape defined by base 25 and side flanges 19 projecting from the same face of the base.
  • Means are provided, not shown, for mounting the track upon a floor 20.
  • the top edges of the track side flanges may be toedin or, along with the remainder of the side flange, may be in a plane perpendicular to the floor.
  • rib 32 may be about 7 /2 inches long for a stud having a length between about 8 and 9 feet.
  • the rib is positioned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stud 10.
  • the rib has a depth D and a width W1 (FIG. 2) which are sufficient to give a desired taper to the side flanges 24 and 26 of the stud. More specifically, the rib is formed by folding the web upon itself so as to project the rib out of the plane of the remainder of the web, with a given depth D. This depth D is sufficient to extend the rib beyond the plane of the inside surface 38 of the web 22 an amount which is sufficient to lessen the width of end portion 30 of the stud from an overall exterior width W2 to an exterior width not to exceed W3 at the area where the stud contacts the side flanges 19 of the runner track.
  • W3 must be measured at the base 25 of the side flanges.
  • the prescribed exterior width W4 of the runner track as measured from the exterior surfaces 22 of the side flanges 19 will be larger than W3 by substantially the difference between W2 and W3, or in other words, substantially equal to W2.
  • the taper of the side flanges 24 and 26 is thus enough to reduce the exterior width of the stud an amount equal to the thickness of the runner track side flanges.
  • the point 36 of the rib is tapered, both widthwise and depthwise, so as to dissipate the stress resulting from the formation of the rib. Also, point 36 is preferably spaced from the conduit hole 17 by at least one half an inch, to insure maximum strength in the web 23.
  • the decrease in width namely W4 W3 is about equal to the depth D of the rib.
  • the length of the centerline of the cross section shown in FIG. 2 remains approximately constant throughout the length of the stud, the material forming the rib representing a decrease in the width of the web and therefore of the stud.
  • the rib may be formed by cold forming the channel by a punch press, which can be a joint operation with the flying sheer cut-off of the stud ends.
  • FIG. 3 there is illustrated another embodiment of the invention, wherein the rib is not tapered and extends to and is terminated by the conduit hole.
  • stud 10a is channel shaped as in the previous embodiments, end 30a fitting within a floor runner track 18a.
  • the web 230 has a rib 32a similar to the previous embodiment, except that it extends from the extreme edge 34a all the way to hole 17a, without tapering.
  • Such a construction relieves initial stress and minimizes the cold flow of the metal caused when the rib is formed by the punch press.
  • the dimensions of the stud and track, including W2 and W3, are substantially the same as in the previous embodiment.
  • rib 32a may be slightly longer than the rib in the previous construction.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate still another embodiment, wherein the rib itself is tapered in depth and width all along its length. Parts similar to those previously described bear the same reference numeral to which the distinguishing suffix 12" has been added.
  • load bearing stud 10b snugly fits with its end 30b in track 1812 without buckling the web 23b and without buildup of the side flanges 1%, by means of the rib 32b.
  • the rib tapers both in depth and width from essentially zero at end 361; to a maximum value at the extreme edge 34b of the stud.
  • the rib is substantially parallel to the long axis of the stud.
  • the taper of the rib causes the side flanges 24b and 26b to taper continuously (FIG.
  • W3 must be measured at the lines of contact of the stud side flanges, namely lines 50.
  • W2 and W3 may be the same value as in the previous embodiments, the length of the rib 3212 being about the same as in the first embodiment.
  • the depth of rib 32b measured at about the intersection of it with a plane extending through the lines 50 may be about 0.300 inches.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 still other embodiments are illustrated wherein more than one short, nontapering ribs are utilized. Parts similar to those previously described bear the same reference numeral to which the distinguishing suffixes "c" and d" are added.
  • stud 100 FIG. 6, has its ends 300 tapered and the web 23c stiffened by means of two approximately evenly spaced short ribs 60. The fit within track 180 is snug, as before.
  • the values of W2 and W3 may also be the same as before, as may be the values of D and W1 for both ribs 60.
  • the length of the ribs is less about 2 inches, so that the tapering of end 300 starts at a line 65 which is about 3 inches from the extreme edge 340.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a modification of FIG. 6 in which the ribs are off-centered in a manner designed to cause greater tapering in one of the stud side flanges than in the other.
  • stud 10d features a plurality of ribs 60d and in the web 23d running from extreme edge 34d a short distance only, parallel to the long axis of the stud.
  • Side flange 24d tapers considerably more, starting at about line 65d, than does flange 26d. The purpose is to accommodate more than just the thickness of the track side flange 19d.
  • wallboard 12a will not fit flush against the fastener and still be maintained substantially planar.
  • the greater taper in flange 24d is accomplished by positioning a third rib 70 in the side of web 23d which is adjacent to side flange 24d. Dimensions should be of the approximate value as in the previous embodiment, except that W3 is decreased by the thickness of the head of fastener 75.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates still another embodiment, wherein the load bearing member is preferably a joist. Parts similar to those previously described bear the same refer ence numeral to which the distinguishing suffix e" has been added.
  • member 102 features a web 232 and side flanges 24e and 26e, the end 30e being designed to fit within a runner track, not shown, as a cap.
  • a rib 100 is formed extending generally perpendicular to the long axis of the member e. By its depth, the rib further causes the side flanges to taper inwardly as in previous embodiments.
  • the rib should have a depth of at least 0.125 inches and a length of about 2.5 inches for a value of W2 of about 3.5 inches.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment wherein the web is provided with means at the conduit hole portion thereof for minimizing metal bunching and the weakening of the stud caused by the conduit hole. Parts similar to those previously described bear the same reference numeral to which the distinguishing suffix f has been added.
  • stud 10f mounts wallboard l2fin a manner identical with the previous stud embodiments.
  • the web 23f is provided with a conduit hole 17 f and a vertically extending coaxial rib 32f, also as in most of the previous stud embodiments.
  • the rib is preferably aligned with the hole, again as is the case with the previous embodiments.
  • the end 36f of the rib is provided with two additional branches or diverging indentations 110 adjacent to the hole and extending from the rib 32fa distance sufficient to subtend an angle alpha" of the conduit hole.
  • a plane taken transverse through the stud that is perpendicular thereto, and extending between at least a portion of the conduit hole and a side flange of the stud intersects the two branches 110.
  • This construction commonly called the crows foot" construction, has the advantage of increasing the axial compressive strength to the point at which it at least equals the theoretical value which would exist in the stud 10f if the hole were not there.
  • al pha and the depth D of the branches 110 which is needed to provide this increase in strength depends upon the particular configuration of the load-bearing member. Specific dimensions which are representative only of one configuration which is possible are as folrib 32f as measured at point A, FIG. 9. D and W are the depth and width of the branch rib as measured at point B, FIG. 9. D and W are uniform for the length of the branch rib. For the above dimensions, it can be shown that, for angle alpha equal to about the axial compressive load rating of the stud 10f at least equals the value the stud would have if the hole 17f were not there.
  • each of the branch ribs from a point on rib 32f which is 6% inches from end 34f at an angle of about 15 to rib 32f and for a distance of about 2.1 inches, produces a rib configuration which surrounds about 41.7% of the hole 17f by subtending an angle alpha of about 150.
  • the ribs 110 provide increased strength both due to additional cold working of the metal and due to a stiffening effect. The latter effect can be computed in accordance with the AlSI 1968 Specifications for Cold Formed Steel Structural Members, using the improved b/t ratio for the flat width ratios, as is well known in the art. This calculation was checked by actual tests, which indicated an average axial loading for the above stud configuration of 5,140 lbs. at failure.
  • the stud of the invention when assembled with the wallboard the stud of the invention will have about the strength of a plain stud lacking the conduit hole.
  • the ribs must surround the hole or subtend a portion of it which is sufficient, along with the depth of the branch ribs, to raise the compressive strength as determined by the above calculation.
  • W and D are measured as indicated for the first embodiment.
  • D, and W are the depth and width of the whereas most of the embodiments refer to stud members, they can be utilized also as joists capped off by a runner track, the tapered ends eliminating built up of the runner tracks.
  • a support frame for planoform panels the combination of an elongate channel-shaped runner track having a base and two side flanges projecting from the same face of the base in opposed, parallel, and spacedapart relationship to one another, panel-supporting stud comprising a web, two side flanges projecting from opposing elongate side edges of said web so as to provide oppositely directed support planes for planoform wall panels.
  • one end portion of said stud being disposed be tween the side flanges of said runner track and being of lesser width than the portion of said stud adjacent to said end portion to avoid increasing the spacing of said track side flanges, said web having an integral first rib formed by deformation of a portion of said web, said rib extending substantially only the length of said end portion with a width and depth sufficient to form said lesser width of said web at said end portion,
  • the length of the cross section centerline of the material forming the web in the end portion, taken perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the stud being approximately equal to the length of the cross section centerline taken perpendicularly to said axis at a point adjacent to said end portion.
  • one end portion of said stud which is to be disposed between the side flanges of said runner track being of lesser width than the portion of said stud adjacent to said end portion
  • said web having an integral first rib formed by deformation of a portion of said web, said rib extending substantially only the length of said end portion with a width and depth sufficient to form said lesser width of said web at said end portion,
