METAL CLIP FOR STEEL-FRAMEWORK BUILDINGS.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 673,144, dated April 30, 1901.
Application led July 30, 1900. Serial No. 25,224. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HERBERT A. STREETER, a citizen of the 'United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metal Clips for Steel-Framework Buildings and other Structures, ot' which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of metal clips for uniting, spacing, suspending, or supporting the steel beams or bars of steel-framework buildings or other structures.
The object of my invention is to provide a steel clip 'of a simpler, lighter, and more economical construction than those heretofore in use, while at the same time affording the required amount of strength and stability.
My improved clip is made from a single piece of band or strap steel, and the folds, bends, or flanges formed in it are all transverse to the grain or ber of the metal or to the direction in which the metal is rolled, and my improved clip is made by slitting a short piece of band or strap steel for a portion of its length and bending each of the two slits to cause the same to extend in opposite directions, providing them with folds or bends to embrace the edges or anges of the steel beam or bar, and then providing the unslitted portion of the strap with an eye or opening to receive another steel beam or bar extending at an angle to the first-mentioned beam or bar. I thus secure or provide a clip which is very simple and cheap to make, requires a minimum amount of stock or steel in its production, and at the same time possesses great strength and is also very conveni'ent of application in a building.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective View of a structure embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the clip, and Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the forni of the clip when the beams or bars connected by it extend at another angle to each other than a right angle. Fig. 4 shows a piece of rolled band or strap steel from which the clips are cut, and also one of the clips after the same has been slitted and the eye punched through, but before the slitted portions are provided with their bend or folds.
' In the drawings, A and B represent steel beams or bars of a steel-framework building or other structure. rPhe same may be of any suitable or customary form in cross-section, such, for example, as T-beams, I-beams, angle-beams, channel-beams, or other shapes.
D represents my improved clip uniting the beams A and B. The clip D is made of a short piece or strip of rolled band or strap steel, the length and width of the strap being greater or less according to the size or shape of the beams or bars A B to which the clips are to be applied.
The piece of strap-steel from which the clip is made is divided or slitted longitudinally at d for a portion of its length, thus forming two slitted members d d2, which are bent at d3 d4 at an angle to the unslitted portion of the clip, and each of which slitted portions cl d2 is provided with a fold d5 to embrace the flanges or edges of the beam or bar A, and the unslitted portion of the clip D is provided with an eye or opening d to receive the other beam or bar B, and thus connect the two beams or bars and support or suspend the one from the other.
As illustrated in Fig. l, the beams A B are shown as extending at right angles to each other. As shown in Fig. 3, the beams extend at a different angle to each other than at a right angle, and the slitted portions d d2 are each given a diagonal bend corresponding to the angle of the beams A B. My clipis thus applicable for use, Whatever maybe the relative directions of the beams A B in respect to each other. The eye or opening d6 in the unslitted portion of the strip should preferably correspond in shape to the cross-section of the beam or bar such eye or opening is to receive. The two slitted members d' d2 of the clip may be made of the same or dierent lengths, as may be required, according to the shape and size of the beam or bar to which they are to be applied.
I claiml. The combination in a steel-framework building or other structure, of beams or bars A B with a clip D, made from rolled band or IOO strip steel and having two "'s'littedjport'ions or members d d2 provided with folds to receive and embrace the flanges or edges of one beam or bar, and having also an unslitted portion furnished with an eye or opening to receive the other beam or bar, substantially as specifled.
. 2. The combination with two beams or bars of a clip D, having two slitted portions or' members bent at an angle to the unslitted.
portion of the `clip and extending in opposite directions, and provided with folds to 4enr-l brace one of said beams or bars, said cliphaving also an nnslitted portion furnished with an eye or openingto receive the other beam or bar, substantially as specified. y
3. The rolled-metal-strip clip D divided for a portion of its length and having slitted members d d2 furnished with folds to embrace the anges or edges of a beam or bar,
-said `clip having in the undivided -portion'an HERBERT A. STREETER.
