Definitions
- the invention relates to a joist hanger for supporting a floor or roof joist.
- Conventional joist hangers for supporting timber joists generally comprise an upper horizontal part which rests on top of a load bearing wall and a depending joist receiving portion to which a timber joist is attached. Such hangers fit flush to the brickwork of the wall and generally allow sufficient tolerance on the overall length of timber joists.
- a joist hanger comprising a top flange for hanging the hanger, a backplate depending from the top flange and a side flange projecting outwardly from the backplate, the hanger adjustment means to facilitate adjustment of a joist relative to the hanger.
- the adjustment means facilitates generally longitudinal adjustment of a joist relative to the hanger.
- the adjustment means comprises a slot, and preferably at least two laterally spaced-apart slots in the side flange for receiving a fixing to adjustably mount a joist to the hanger.
- the slot extends substantially longitudinally to facilitate longitudinal adjustment.
- the adjustment means facilitates generally vertical adjustment of a joist relative to the hanger.
- the side flange is spaced downwardly from the top flange to facilitate vertical adjustment.
- the position of the fixing holes in either the side flange or the joist can be varied to achieve vertical adjustment.
- the top flange comprises a hook for engagement behind a support such as a wall.
- the hook may comprise a rear lip depending from the top flange.
- the top flange comprises a forwardly extending top flange extension.
- the hanger is formed from a single piece of metal.
- the hanger comprises at least two separate components attached together.
- the invention also provides an assembly or kit comprising a joist and at least one hanger of the invention.
- the hanger is preferably adjustably mounted to the joist.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a joist hanger according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the hanger, in use
- Fig. 3 is an elevational view of the hanger, in use
- Fig. 4 is a view illustrating the formation of the hanger from a metal sheet.
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of another joist hanger
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the hanger of Fig. 5, in use;
- Fig. 7 is an elevational view of the hanger of Fig. 5, in use
- Fig. 8 is a view illustrating the formation of the hanger of Fig. 5 from a metal sheet.

- Fig. 10 is a view of another joist with hangers spanning between opposed walls;
- Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a further joist hanger;
- Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the hanger of Fig. 11, in use;
- Fig. 13 is an elevational view of the hanger of Fig. 11, in use.
- Fig.. 14 is a view illustrating the formation of the hanger of Fig. 11 from a metal sheet.
- a joist hanger 1 for mounting a joist especially a steel joist such as a channel member 4 available under the mark Multichannel from Ward Building Components Limited, to a load bearing wall 3 or support.
- the hanger 1 comprises a top flange 6 terminating in a downwardly extending lip 7.
- the lip 7 forms a hook which engages behind a course of the wall 3.
- a backplate 8 depends from the top flange 6 and a side flange 9 projects outwardly from the backplate 8.
- the hanger 1 is connected to the web of the joist 4.
- Adjustment means for adjustably mounting the joist 4 to the hanger 1 in this case comprises a pair of spaced-apart slots 15 in the side flange 9.
- the slots 15 extend generally longitudinally to facilitate longitudinal adjustment of the joist 4 relative to the hanger 1.
- the side flange 9 is spaced downwardly from the top flange by a distance d. This facilitates vertical adjustment of the joist 4 relative to the hanger 1, if required. In most cases, especially for floor joists it is preferable that the upper face of the joist is flush with the upper face of the top flange. However, for some applications the joist 4 may be vertically offset from the hanger 1 so that a floor finish can sit flush on both the joist and the load bearing wall. The position of the fixing holes in either the side flange or the joist can be varied to accommodate vertical adjustment.
- the hanger 1 may be manufactured from one piece of steel, cut and bent to the required shape, as illustrated in Fig. 4 and then welded or by any other suitable connection such as clenching, slots and tabs.
- the hanger may alternatively be manufactured from two pieces of steel, bent to the required shapes and then welded together or attached by any other suitable connection, such as clenching slots and tabs. Further, the hanger could be manufactured using flat plate and angle material, then welded together or attached by any other suitable connection, such as clenching, slots and tabs.
- the hanger 1 is manufactured from either black or galvanised steel typically either 3mm or 4mm thickness. It may be acceptable to omit the lip 7 where the connection "hooks" over the brickwork.
- the hanger is connected to the web of the Multichannel joist 4 using bolts 5, self tapping screws or rivets.
- the slotted holes 15 provide adjustment of typically ⁇ 25 mm at each connection.
- the load is not carried through the weaker bottom flange of the joist which can cause twisting of a metal joist. Rather, the joist is connected through the web which substantially prevents twisting of the joist.
- Figs. 5 to 8 there is illustrated another joist hanger 50 according to the invention which is similar to that described above with reference to Figs. 1 to 4 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals.
- the hanger 50 has holes 20 rather than slots and the joist 4 is not longitudinally adjustable relative to the hanger 50.
- the hanger 50 is fixed to the joist 4 by bolts 25 or the like. Nertical adjustment is however possible by virtue of the spacing of the holes 20 in the side flange 9.
- the side flange 9 is spaced downwardly from the top flange 6 and appropriately located holes in the joist 4 are provided.
- the hanger may be placed on the header and wall and attached thereto and the joist attached to the hanger. It is however preferable that the hanger is first attached to the joist and then attached to a wall. The hanger may be loosely attached to the hanger and tightened when the joist is correctly aligned, in use.
- a hanger 1 according to the invention is attached to one end of a joist and a hanger 50 is attached to the other end of the joist.
- hangers 1 may be attached to both ends of a joist as illustrated in Fig. 10. This arrangement allows increased tolerance to be accommodated.
- the invention provides a flexible system in which universal joists for multiple applications may be used and the hangers tailored to a specific application.
- universal hangers may be used for multiple applications and the joists tailored to a specific application.
- the hanger is pre-assembled to the Multichannel joist 4 allowing the joist 4 to be easily placed in position by unskilled operators, whilst maintaining the benefit of large tolerances in the straightness and alignment of the walls.
- the hanger would then allow the cleat to be slid tight up against the brickwork, after placement, thereby allowing the floor load to be taken in shear thereby maximising structural performance.
- Figs. 10 to 14 there is illustrated another joist hanger 60 according to the invention which is similar to the hanger 1 of Figs. 1 to 4 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals.
- the top flange section 6 has a forwardly extending top flange extension 61.
- this hanger does not facilitate the top of the hanger to be flush with the joist top flange, providing the top plate 6, 61 is fixed to the vertical face plate 8 (probably by welding or by any suitable connection such as clenching slots and tabs), it may be stiffer than the hangers 1, 50 described above and the joist may thereby be further stabilised against twisting.
