Definitions

  • This invention relates to building constructions. More particularly, the invention relates to a unique decking board and fastening clip system for use in constructing a floor or other structure, and to a construction assembly and method.
  • Hardwood floors for interior use typically range from individual, unfinished strips or boards that are sanded and stained or otherwise finished after being installed, to pre-finished boards and various parquet styles.
  • the individual boards, in particular, used in hardwood flooring usually have stress relief channels cut in their underside, and tongue and groove configurations along the side edges.
  • the major developments in interior hardwood flooring have been related to the use of durable finishes, and not to the basic structural design of the wood strips.
  • Wood flooring materials for exterior use such as in decks and the like, have undergone very little change since their introduction. Up until fairly recently, wood flooring for exterior use was typically found on covered porches, and was not used in constructions fully exposed to weather conditions. These floors were very close in structure and appearance to interior flooring, and generally included tongue and groove construction and other features used indoors. The same boards might even be used both indoors and outdoors, for example, with a painted surface on the boards used outdoors to aid in resisting weather. Construction materials and methods for exterior decks and porches changed dramatically with the advent of chemically treated lumber, which enabled exterior structures to be fully exposed to the weather. The chemically treated lumber used in these structures makes them weather- resistant, and provides much greater flexibility in architectural style than previously used materials for exterior construction.
  • flooring or decking used in exterior decks comes in limited configurations, typically 2X4 and/or 2X6 or 2X8 lumber, and so-called 5/4 decking boards. All of these flooring materials are essentially rectangular in cross-sectional configuration. Additionally, the 5/4 decking boards have slightly rounded top edges.
  • an exterior decking board that is shaped to shed or drain water, and which possesses all the desireable attributes of conventional decking materials, such as ease of use and handling, low cost, and comfort, and which at the same time can result in better utilization of material as the boards are cut from a log.
  • Interior hardwood flooring typically uses a tongue and groove construction, in which fasteners such as nails are extended diagonally downward through one edge of each board and into a supporting surface, leaving an unblemished upper surface.
  • fasteners such as nails are extended diagonally downward through one edge of each board and into a supporting surface, leaving an unblemished upper surface.
  • such flooring requires the exercise of considerable skill and care to avoid damaging the boards when the nails are being driven into place.
  • stresses are developed in the flooring as the wood expands and contracts upon changes in moisture content, and cupping, warping, splitting and other faults can result.
  • Another object is to provide a decking board for use in exterior deck constructions, wherein the board has a convex upper surface to shed water, but which at the same time is comfortable to stand and walk on, and which includes a concave configuration in its bottom surface to facilitate stacking of the boards one on top of the other during storage and handling.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a decking board which is shaped to shed water from its upper surface, and which also yields a superior product when cut from a log, reducing the amount of scrap in the outermost boards cut from a log.
  • the board has a very slightly rounded convex upper surface sloping off to each side of the board for shedding water.
  • the extent of curvature is such that the board will still retain convexity on the upper surface even after the board has been in use and has warped.
  • Con ⁇ ventional boards on the other hand, will cup when they have warped.
  • the board has a concave bottom surface shaped complementally to the top surface to facilitate stacking of the boards on top of one another.
  • the shaped top surface also results in a board configur ⁇ ation which enables more usable boards to be obtained from a log, and the shaped bottom surface lends a slight cushioning effect to the board.
  • the board has stress-relief channel means formed in its bottom surface to prevent warping of the board.
  • a construction assembly uses a clip to secure the decking board to a support surface.
  • This clip assembly method can also be used to secure a first building component to a supporting structure without requiring any separate fasteners to be extended into the first building component.
  • the construction assembly of the invention is simple and economical to make and use, and especially facilitates the construction of a flooring surface such as a deck floor or the like, although it could also be used to secure panels or other building components to a supporting surface and/or to one another.
  • the assembly includes a clip adapted to secure a first building component, such as a decking board or the like, either directly on supporting floor joists or on top of an already existing flooring surface.
  • the clip in this form of the invention has an elongate body adapted to lie flat on the supporting surface, with upstanding hook-shaped projections on opposite ends for engagement in complemental grooves on the adjacent surface of a first building component to be secured to the supporting surface.
  • the clip is secured to the supporting surface by one or more suitable fasteners extended through it and into the supporting surface, and the building component to be secured thereby is then placed over the clip, with grooves in the building component aligned with the hook-like projections.
  • the building component is then pressed downwardly over the clip, or a series of aligned clips, so that the hook-like projections are engaged in the grooves and the building component thereby secured to the supporting surface.
  • the fastening clip of the invention provides a quick and easy assembly method for securing one building component to another building component, and especially for securing decking to a support structure.
  • the invention is also suited for use in resurfacing existing decks without requiring that the old deck surface be removed.
  • a deck floor constructed in accordance with the invention is free of unsightly fasteners extended through its exposed face surface, and is enabled to expand and contract upon gain or loss of moisture without excessive stress being induced therein, thereby prolonging its life.

  • the board 10 each having a radius of curvature r of about one-quarter of an inch.
  • the board 10 differs slightly in width w and thickness t from a standard decking board, however, in that it has a width of only about 5 inches and a thickness of about 1 3 / ⁇ inches.
  • the board of the invention has a slightly rounded upper surface 13 that slopes gradually off to either side of the center of the board, defining a convex surface that promotes the running off of water.
  • This surface may have a radius of curvature R for example, of about 24 inches.
  • the board also has a complementally shaped concave bottom surface 14 with a radius of curvature R 2 of about 24 inches, placed to leave two relatively flat side panels c and d along opposite edges of the board.
  • the curved top surface has a total fall or drop a from the center to each side edge of about V ⁇ of an inch
  • the curved bottom surface similarly has a total recess b from the plane of the two side panels to the deepest part at the center of the board of about V ⁇ of an inch.
  • the boards When stacked on top of one another, as shown in figure 1 , the boards essentially nest within one another, with the two side panels on a top board resting on the curved outer edge portions of a subadjacent board to produce an arrangement that enables multiple boards to be stacked with essentially the same stability as conventional, flat boards.
  • the curved surfaces may be dimensioned so that the entire adjacent curved surfaces of two stacked boards are in full contact with one another, or they may be dimensioned so that just the side panels of a top board engage on the top curved surface of a bottom board.

  • a small clearance space S is provided beneath the boards when they are installed, which provides a slight cushioning effect to the flooring surface made with the boards.
  • the slightly rounded upper surface of the boards provides a comfortable surface on which to stand and/or walk.
  • Figure 4 shows the relationship of the outermost boards B cut from a log L. Since these outermost boards are very near the bark or softer outer surface of the log, they frequently have defects extending along their side edges which can result in these boards being scrapped. Boards 10a and 10b made in accordance with the invention, however, have these outer longitudinal edges rounded off, which many times results in removal of the softer material or defects commonly found in conventional boards, thus reducing the amount of scrap in these boards and utilizing more of the material in the log.
  • a modification is shown at 10'.
  • a pair of stress relief cuts or channels 15 and 16 are made along the underside 14' of the board to minimize cupping or warping of the board.
  • Another form of the invention is indicated generally at 20 in figures 6-14.
  • specially shaped attaching clips 21 cooperate with specially shaped decking boards 22 to secure the decking boards on an underlying support structure, such as floor joists 23.
  • the attaching clips 21 each have a flat body 24 with upstanding hook-like projections 25 and 26 on opposite ends thereof, including downturned flanges 27 and 28.
  • the body 24 has one or more openings 29 formed therethrough for receiving fasteners, such as nails or screws, not shown, to secure the clip on a flat surface.
  • the clip is secured on the upper edge of a floor joist.
  • the clip could be secured on any flat surface, such as a pre-existing deck. The latter structure could be used, for example, to resurface an older deck without requiring the old decking material to be removed.
  • the decking boards 22 each have a slightly rounded convex top surface 30, opposite side edges 31 and 32, and a specially configured bottom surface 33. More particularly, and as seen best in figures 7, 8 and 9, the bottom surface of each board has a pair of parallel, longitudinally extending grooves 34 and 35 spaced inwardly from the side edges thereof. Each groove has a depth slightly greater than the height of the hook-like projections on the clip, and a width slightly less than the width of the projection and flange, whereby the projection can penetrate fully into the groove and the downturned flange will engage or bite into the side of the groove (see figure 9), resisting removal of the projection from the groove.
  • the longitudinal center portion 36 between the grooves on the bottom surface of each board is undercut or recessed an amount to receive the body of the clip without interference, so that the entire bottom side of the board will lie flat against the clip body and support surface, respectively.
  • This undercut portion 36 also has approximately the same depth relative to the side edge portions 37 and 38 of the bottom surface that the central portion 39 of the top surface is elevated relative to the side edge portions of the board. Accordingly, and as shown in figure 1 1 , the boards can be stacked on top of one another and will be supported in the middle and at both side edges, thereby eliminating wobble and stabilizing the boards when stacked.
  • the hooks 25 and 26 will be directed toward the thicker side edge portions of the board, thereby providing greater strength to the connection.
  • the hooks could be directed inwardly relative to the body 24 for engaging the inner sides of the grooves, if desired.
  • the clips 21 have a substantial width so that they can be used in spanning relationship to the joint between two abutted ends of a pair of adjacent boards 22a and 22b, with the hooks engaging in the grooves of each board to secure the ends of the boards relative to one another.
  • the clips may be pivoted or rotated on the supporting surface so that the boards may be extended diagonally rather than orthogonally to the support.
  • the clip 21 ' may have a narrower width than that shown in figures 6-1 1 .
  • this narrower clip would not obtain as extensive a grip on the board as the first form of the invention, and would not be as effective in spanning the joint between two adjoining boards.
  • the invention described and illustrated herein may be secured on top of relatively narrow support members, such as floor joists, or against any other flat surface, such as an existing deck or a wall surface or the like.
  • the clips and associated groove structures on the boards for cooperation with the clips may be incorporated in any structural element desired, including panelling or framing members to secure them together and/or to one another.
  • the clips When the clips are used outdoors, such on an exterior deck, they may be made of galvanized metal or other suitable material such as plastic. Other materials may be used in their construction, depending upon the desired use.
  • the boards illustrated and described herein are especially adapted for use as exterior decking boards and may be suitably chemically treated for weather resistance.
  • the boards preferably have a unique cross-sectional configuration to facilitate shedding of water and to aid in treating and drying the boards during and after manufacture.
  • the top surface of the boards have a convex curvature to promote run-off of water, and the curvature is selected in relation to the width of the boards so that they are comfortable to walk and stand on, while still having enough curvature that they will not cup on their top surface even if they should warp following prolonged use.
  • decking boards be installed with their bark side up (the growth rings being convex in an upward direction), and the natural tendency is for the boards to warp in this same direction, whereby the top surface cups.
  • the deck board of the invention preferably has a radius of curvature on its top surface of about 24 inches, and at least within the range of from about 1 8 inches to about 36 inches.
  • the boards have a width of about five inches, a thickness of about one and three-eighths inches and a radius of curvature of the convex top surface of about twenty four inches.
  • the boards need not have any particular shape in order to incorporate the assembly clip of the invention disclosed herein, and may consist of otherwise conventional rectangular boards, such as 2X4 or 2X6 dimension lumber.
  • the grooves formed in the bottom surface of the boards not only serve to provide stress relief but also function to facilitate the drying process of the boards by providing a greater surface area and defining spaces for circulation of air when the boards are stacked.
  • the grooves in the forms of the invention described herein provide that function but are intended primarily as a means of attaching the boards to the clip.
  • the boards have a width, thickness and radius of curvature on the top surface as discussed above.

Abstract

Planche de planchéiage (22) présentant une surface supérieure incurvée convexe (30) permettant l'écoulement d'eau, mais sur laquelle on peut se tenir et marcher aisément. La courbure de la surface supérieure (30) est sélectionnée de manière que la planche (22) conserve une surface supérieure convexe (30) même après gauchissement lors de l'utilisation, et que dans une construction donnée elle utilise un système de fixation (21) afin de fixer la planche (22) à un support sous-jacent (23). Ladite planche de planchéiage (22) comporte des gorges (34, 35) destinées à coopérer avec des rebords latéraux (27, 28) situés sur la fixation (21), afin de fixer ladite planche (22) à ladite fixation (21) sans utiliser d'attaches séparées réparties dans la planche (22). Des attaches sont situées dans la fixation (21) et dans un élément de support (23) afin de fixer ladite fixation (21), et par conséquent la planche (22), sur un élément de support (23). Dans un mode de réalisation préferrée de l'invention, la fixation (21) présente une paire d'organes saillants droits (27, 28) en forme de crochet s'engageant dans une paire de gorges (34, 35) espacées, situées dans une surface sous-jacente de la planche (22), afin de fixer cette dernière à un support (23). La planche incurvée (22) de l'invention réduit également la quantité de déchets ou de matières rejetés pendant le processus de production, du fait de l'élimination des bords d'écorce pendant le processus de sciage, les gorges (34, 35) se trouvant dans la surface inférieure (33) d'une forme de l'invention servant non seulement à fixer la planche (22) à la fixation (21), mais également de canaux de séchage destinés à la circulation d'air lorsque les planches (21) sont empilées les unes sur les autres.
