UNITED STATES PATENT Erica JULIA. E. MEYENBERG, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOS,
CElLING-SUPPGRTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 533,659, dated February 5. 1 895.
Application tiled April 28, 1894. Serial No. 509351. (No model.)
To LZZ whom, zit info/,y concern:
Be it known that I, JULIAL E. MEYENBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ghicago, in the county of Cook and State of lilinois, have invented a new and useful Ceiling- Supporter, of which the following is a specilication.
This invention relates to ceiling supporters for the support of fire-prooi:` ceiling materials.
To this end the main and primary object of the present invention is to construct a cheap, simple, and efficient device of this character to be used in connection with the ordinary wooden licor-beams or joists, wherebyit may be rendered practicable to build floors and ceilings with wooden beams or joists, and to 'floor-beams or joists by the herein described ceiling supporting plates. Fig. 2 is a detail in perspective of one of the plates. Fig. 3 is a detail plan View of the blank of metal from which the plates are stamped and pressed.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1-1 designate ordinary wooden iioor beams or joists that are arranged parallel with each other and at regular distances apart, the saine being used in the construction of ordinary floors and ceilings, and in the present invention a series of ceiling supporting plates 2, are adapted to be secured to both sides of each joist at the lower edges thereof to provide means for supporting in position the ordinary ceiling tiles or slabs 3,that are usually employed to form lire-proof ceilings.
The ceiling supporting plates 2, are stamped from a single blank of iron or other suitable strength metal and of a size sufficient to suit the load or weight that is to be supported thereby.
The ceiling supporting plates 2, are pro vided with a vertical portion, having near its upper end a series of screw or nail holes il adapted to receive suitable nails or screws for fastening the plates to the floor beam or joists, and at the lower end ot" said plates the saine are provided with the right-singularly disposed main supporting flanges 5. The main supporting flange 5, is disposed out ward from the beam or joist to which the supporting plate is attached, and is adapted to receive thereon one side edge of the ceiling tiles or slabs that are arranged between the door beams or lioists to span and fill up the space there-between, and said main supporting iange 5, may also be provided with the screw or nail holes 6, to receive suitable screws or nails for more securely connecting the tiles or slabs therewith, and thereby additionally strengthening the entire ceiling construction.
The ceiling supporting plates 2, are further provided in the vertical body portie ns,thereof, with the openings 7, from the upper and lower ends of which are bent outwardly the upper and lower ianges 8 and 9 respectively, the lower iiange 9, of which is disposed in a line with the flange 5, but is projected at right angles to the plate from the opposite side thereof so as to be disposed directly under the i'loor beam or joist to which the plate is attached. The upper of said flanges S, is disposed parallel with the flange 9, and projects outwardlyr from the saine side of the plate, but is adapted to take under the door beam or joists and to rest directlyT against the under side thereof, and therefore acts in the capacity ot a level-iiange to engage against the under side of the floor beam or joist and thereby always secure the proper positioning of the attachment plates, so that the main and auxiliary supporting iianges 5 and 9 respectively will be precisely leveled to support the ceiling tiles or slabs. The flanges S and 9, of the supporting plates are also provided with the screw or nail holes l0, to receive screws or nails or other suitable driven fasteners, the upper -lange S, being secured to the upper side of the door beam or jcist, and the lower flange 9, being adapted to support thereon one edge of the supplemental beam or joist tiling, Il, or other similar ma'- terial that is adapted to be placed directly' under the beam or joist, so as to till in the space left between the parallel rows of ceiling supporting plates secured to both sides of the beams or joists.
In arranging the ceiling supporting plates they are preferably arranged in pairs as illustrated in Fig. I, of the drawings, the plates of each pair being secured to directly opposite sides of each floor beam or joist so as to dispose the inner flanges 8 and 9 under the beam or joist to confine there-between the supplemental tiling l1, and to dispose the main horizontal anges 5 outwardly to receive one edge or end of the main tiles or slabs 3, thereby completing a simple and eiiicientconstruction for the perfect and practicable support of a tire-proof ceiling.
In making the supporters, the same are stamped out of a single blank of metal as illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings, and the several flanges are pressed into shape by means of any suitable press, and it will be understood that changes in the forn1,propor tion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention. i
Having thus described the invention,\vhat is claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
l. The herein-described ceiling supporting plate provided with tile or slab supporting flanges at its lower end, and an intermediate leveling ange adapted to engage under a floor beam or joist, substantially as set forth.
2. The herein-described ceiling supporting plate made from a single blank of metal and provided at its lower end with opposite rightangularly disposed tile or slab supporting flanges projecting from opposite sides, and an intermediate leveling ange adapted to engage directly under a floor beam or joist, all of said flanges being provided with screw or nail holes, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have heretoaffixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
JULIA E. MEYENBERG.
