Definitions

  • This invention relates to building construction connective hardware, such that it is a permanently installed hanger designed to hold and support the starter row of wall sheathing and the starter row of most types of siding at the mud sill and foundation and the starter row of roof sheathing at the rafter tail-ends of a building structure.
  • the hangers can be used to help install the starter row of the siding, which can have the 1" drop, if the sheathing does not, or it can be made level with the sheathing using the hangers, if the sheathing is at a proper height below the mud sill.
  • the sheathing or siding can be nailed on as required. It is envisioned that two or more hangers will be needed to hang one sheet or piece of material, depending on the size or orientation of the material and the discretion of the installer. The hangers are not removable, but will remain on the structure and the bottom lip can be painted or coated as needed to finish the exterior.
  • the installer, inspector or building owner can easily make a visual inspection of the presence of this sheathing and siding hanger and recognize it by name or model number, which would validate the process used and add value to the structure.
  • the hangers may even be identified as an element on architectural or engineering plans and specifications.
  • the sheathing hangers can also be used at the edge of the roofline.
  • the hangers would attach to the rafter tail-ends, creating a solid mount for resting the roof sheathing starter row, where it can then be nailed on and connected to the remaining roof.
  • Current practice is to hold the sheathing in place by hand at the edge of the roof, which is awkward and labor intensive, as well as highly unstable and dangerous.
  • the hangers take the weight of the material off the laborer, who is typically standing on a ladder or on top of the roof working downward while trying to maneuver it in place by hand. This invention holds the plywood in place instead of the laborer, so that the plywood can be easily nailed on the rest of the way with highly reduced risk of slippage.
  • This invention can also be used to install the starter row of most types of siding, such as lap siding, cedar siding or Tl-11, for examples; thus, it is also referred to as a siding hanger. It can be attached to the existing sheathing, making for a uniform and reliable mounting surface for the starting row of most types of siding.
  • This invention is a building construction connective hardware made of corrosion-resistant metal in a known stamping or molding process, which comprises a thin, flat rectangular upper arm with nail or screw holes for attaching to an existing building and a lower arm, approximately 1" tall, that bends at a right angle into an reshaped flat resting mount with a narrow holding lip to support a piece of sheathing or siding.
  • hangers on the mud sill or the bottom of the plywood sheathing or at the roof rafter tail ends, depending on what it is being installed, will provide a solid resting mount for the wall or roof sheathing or the siding, such that these materials can be installed by one man without a man or men having to hold the material in place by sheer physical effort and without the use of measuring equipment.
  • the hangers will bear the weight of and hold the sheathing or siding material at a uniform and consistent manner around the building, so that the material can be properly nailed on to the structure, reducing the need for skilled labor, measuring equipment and more than one installer to participate.
  • the hangers also act as a solid reference point for

  • the hangers have a prefabricated flat mount that achieves a drop below the mud sill, which allows the sheathing or siding to be installed easily in a weather protective, insect retardant manner. In some areas of the country, this drop is a building code requirement, which is currently unverifiable without removing the sheathing to inspect. Thus, the hangers are capable of creating an improved level of uniformity, protection, and confirmation that previously did not exist.
  • the hangers provide a holding support for the starter row of wall and roof sheathing and most types of siding on a building other than nails;
  • the hangers provide a flat surface for holding the starter row of wall and roof sheathing and most types of siding in an consistent and level manner around the structure;
  • the hangers can be used with a variety of sheathing or siding products; it is not specific to one brand or type of sheet materials, making it useful on a large number of building projects.
  • the hangers are independent of the building and can be spaced as needed by the installer to provide a consistent and uniform support for the sheathing and siding materials being installed;
  • hangers adds the hangers to the equation, such that the sheathing, siding or sheet materials are held on to the building by the hangers as well as by the nails.
  • the hangers provide a solid mount for the material being installed that otherwise did not exist, such that the finished sheathing or siding product is more securely fastened and, therefore, the building could enjoy a longer life with the presence of the hangers.
  • the hangers help achieve a solid covering, at the mud sill and foundation, helping reduce the risk of dry rot or insect invasion, by dropping the sheathing or siding approximately 1" below the line where the mud sill and foundation meet;
  • the hangers are easy to attach to an existing structure by using the built-in support tabs and fastener holes;
  • the hangers are made of a known stamping or molded metal, such that it does not require new technology or unfamiliar fabrication methods in order to be manufactured for large scale use;
  • the hangers are to be made of materials commonly used in the building industry, which are appropriate for this application, such as zinc coated galvanized steel, making it a cost effective solution to the problem;
  • hangers make it possible for an installer or inspector, especially in areas where this building code or considered good building practice, to verify the height below the mud sill that the wall sheathing or siding hangs, because the holding lip can be visually seen at the bottom of the sheathing;
  • the hangers by design can both hold and level the sheathing and siding at their starter rows if properly installed, before the materials are being nailed on to the structure, such that it reduces a multi-person task to a single person task and in far less time;
  • the hangers provide ergonomic relief to the laborer and add a key safety factor to the process by taking the weight of the material off the man and by holding it in place accurately for nail-off, reducing the risk of slippage and injury, particularly on the roof.
  • the sheathing and siding hangers should not be limited by these uses.
  • the hangers may be useful for other applications, such as hanging fence planks or lattice, or supporting wall hangings such as flower boxes, bulletin boards, or shelving, as further examples of broader use.
