METAL CLIP FOR USE IN STEELIBUlLDlNG CON STRUCTIONS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 718,545, dated January 13, 1903. Original application filed March 17, 1900, Serial No. 9,021. Divided and-this application filed July 30, 1900. Serial No. 25,225. (No'modeh) T0 (LZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I,- HERBERT A. STREETER, a citizen of theUnited States, residing in Ohicago, in the county'of Cook and State of Illinois,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metal Clips for Uniting, Spacing,aud Supporting Beams and Bars in Steel Building Constructions, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention relates to metal clips used in the construction of steel-frame work buildings or structures in which the roofs, floors, or ceilings are formed or supported by steel beams or bars crossing each other.
My present application is a division. of my pending application, Serial No. 9,021, filed March 17, 1900, on clips for steel'building constructions.
My invention consists'inthe novel construction of parts and devices, andin the novel combinations of parts and devices herein shown and described, and specified in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts throughout, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a device embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of my improved clip.
In the drawings, A A and B B represent crossing steel beams or bars of a building or other structure, the beams or bars being of any suitable or customary form in cross-sectionsuch,forexample,as I-beams,T-beams,
angle-beams, channel-beams, or other desired shape.
D is a metal strap-clip, made of strap or band metal-that is to say, iron or steel rolled into narrow strips. The clip D is specially designed for use at the meeting ends of two beams or bars B B orA A, one or both.
The clip D'has folds dd at each end embracing the-edges or flanges of the beams A A, and thus serving to join or unite the same together at their meeting ends. The clip D is further provided with flanges d (1, extended at an angleas, for example,a right angleto the plane of the clip, and each of the flanges d is furnished with an eye or opening (1 to receive and support the crossing beam or bar B or B, the two flanges d d of the clip D thus serving to unite the meeting or abutting "for saidtransverse bar or ends of the two crossing beams or bars B and B. 1
In my improved clip it will be seen that the bends, folds, or flanges d d d d are each and allformed across the length of the strip-that is to say, across'the fiber of the metaland for this reason my improved clip possesses great strength for the weight of metal employed therein and is not liable to give way or fail, as is the case where clips, are provided with bends or folds parallel to the fiber or grain of the metal or to the direction in which the metal is rolled. The flanges d cl are sufficiently far apart to enable the meeting or abutting ends of the two beams or bars B B to extend each well through one of said flanges and-have proper support. thereon, and the width'of the clip D is such as to enable the clip and its .folds d d to properly embrace and give'suitable' bearing for the two meeting or abutting ends oftwo beams or bars A A when it is desired to join or unite thesame.
In the drawings I have'illustrated the beams B B as extending at right angles to the beams A A, as this is the more usual construction; but the beams B B may extend at any other angle, it being of course understood that the flanges d d on the clip should in every case be turned so as to extend about at right angles to the direction of the beams that pass through said flanges.
' I claim 1 The combination-with two beams abutting at their ends,and a transverse bar orbars, of a'single metal strap-clip, having folds em bracing the flanges of both said beams, and also having vertical flanges with perforations bars, substantially as specified.
2. In asteel building or other structure, the combination with two abutting beams or bars A Aand transverse bars B B, of a metal clip D having folds d d embracing and connecting the meeting ends of said bars AA, andprovided with flanges d d,having eyes 01 through the same to receive the meeting'ends of said two bars B B, substantially as specified.
