i WALL AND CEILINGNCONSTRUCTIN.
Application mea March i5, 1926. serial No. 94,794;
In my copending application, Serial No. 94,793, filed March v15, 1926, l illustrate a form of wall or ceiling construction in which plaster, fibre, or similar boards are secured to channel or angle bars or studding by the use of clips which engage said supports yand also engage channel members which receive and support the marginsof the boards; and this invention has reference to such constructions,
its object being to facilitate the application or assembling thereof especially under circumstances which sometimes present difiiculties, as in the case of ceilings of substantial area in which long channel members are to be applied to the edges of a number of boards in al` ment.
It will be understood that in such cases it is necessary upon the supporting of one of the edges of such a series of boards that the other edges be maintained in alignment while the channel member is being applied thereto,
' otherwise it may require the services of several men to hold the boards in position during this operation. It is therefore proposed to utilize auxiliary retaining clips by means of which the outer or free edges of such boards may be maintained in position prior to the application of the channel member.
A further-object is to rovide temporary supports in the form of c ips adapted to engage the studding and the free edge of a board in the course of building a wall or ceiling, such clip admitting of a channel member being thereafter passed thereover, which channel member is subsequently permanently supported by clips such as described in the aforesaid copending application.
Still further objects subsidiary to or resulting from the aforesaid objects, or from the construction or operation of the invention as it maybe carried into e'ect will become apparent as the said invention is hereinafter further disclosed.
ln carrying the said invention into edect, li may utilize clips which I herein refer to as auxiliary clips of light gauge material adapted to engage the flanges of channel or angle beams or studding and provided with a channel portion adapted to engage the edge of a wall or ceiling board (or series of boards), and, in use, ll secure one edge of such a board by means of permanent clips and an elongated channel member to the beams or studding and then support the other edge of such board from such beams or studding by the application thereto of the said auxiliary clips. This having been done and the boards thereby prevented from falling away from the beams or studding, an elongated channel member is applied to the last mentioned edge of the said board by passing it over such edge and over the channel portions of the auxiliary clips which then temporarily support the channel, the permanent support of the said channel being effected by the aplication thereto of permanent clips engaging the beams or studding and also the channel; the said permanent clips providing a support for the first channel member of the next board or series of boards whlch are directly applied thereto and their then free edges remote from the last mentioned channel member engaged by a further series of auxiliary clips ready for the application of another channel member, and so on.
All of which is more particularly described and ascertained, by Way of example, having reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein i y Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of a ceiling construction embodying the said invention;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a beam illustrating the relative arrange ment of temporary and permanent clips,to gether with the channel members associated therewith, and also illustrating the method of applying one of the temporary clips to the beam; and
Figure 3 is a fragmentary section of a ceiling construction illustrating in detail the joint obtained between two boards by the use of this invention.
Similar characters of reference indicate similar parts in the several figures of the drawing.
1 indicates a beam of channel iron suspended by tie rods 2 from a super structure 3 and extendin to a wall or partition 4f, and 5 and 6 are ceiling boards applied to the beam 1 in a manner hereinafter described.
In effecting the positioning of the said boards, a permanent clip 7 of angle formation is applied to the beam 1 preferably in abutment with the Wall or partition 4, similar clips being applied to all of the beams extendin to such wall which are tobe covered by the oards, and in these clips is secured an elongated. channel member 8. One edge of the board 5, and of other boards in alignment therewith, is inserted into the channel member 8 and the other or free edge of the board is engaged by an auxiliary clip 9, similar clips bein applied to all-of the series of boards in ahgnment, so that they may be held from the beam 1 against falling until a channel member 10 is afterwards applied thereto and permanently supported by a permanent clip` 11 having a Harige 12 for the engagement thereof and a further flange 13 for the engagement of a reversely disposed channel member 8 arranged for the reception of the first edges of a second series of boards 6, the other edges of which boards 6 are again secured by auxiliary clips 9 followed by a channel member 10 and a permanent clip 11, the same procedure being followed throughout the construction of the ceiling.
A suitable form of auxiliarylip 9 is indicated in Figure 2, which indicates it as having a channel portion 14 adapted to slip over the edge of a wall or ceiling board and a flange'l having a T-shaped slot 16 therein, so that it may be engaged with the flange of a channel or angle beam or stud,l the object of the T-formation of the slot being to permit the clip to be applied with the channel portion thereof facing in any required direction of the beam as will be readily understood. This auxiliary clip is of light gauge material as it does not have to permanently support the board and to permit of the channel member being readily assed thereover.
The joint resulting from such construction may, in finishing th`e wall or ceiling, be'overla pe'd with a layer of wireor other open fabric 17, 18 indicating a plastic finishing coating such as is usually applied to such structures.
This invention may be developed within the scope of the following claims without departing from the essential features of the said invention, and it is desired that the specification and drawing be read as merely illustrative and not in a limiting sense,"except as necessitated by the prior art.
What I claim is 1, In a wall or ceiling constructionwherein wall boards are provided with margin-engaging vchannel members secured to studding v by means of clips engaging such studding 'wall boards are provided with margin-engaging channel members secured to studding by means of clips engaging such studding and said channel members; means facilitating the assembling of such construction, said means comprising auxiliary cli s of light gauge material bent to a channel formation adapted to engage locally the margin of a Wall board and f to be received in the channel member applied to such margin of said Wall board, said clips having flanges thereon slotted to engage the flange of an angular bar.
3. As a new article of maufacture, an auxiliary clip for facilitating the assembling of Wall board constructions wherein the wall boards are mounted in marginal channel members supported from studdlng by permanent clips engaging said marginal channel members, said aux1liary clip comprising a light gauge sheet metal structure bent to channel formation adapted to receive the margin of a wall board and to enter the marginal channel member, one of the walls of the channel portion of Said clip being extended perpendicularly therefrom in the form of a flange and having a slot therein for its engagcment with the studding.
4. As a new article of manufacture, an auxiliary clip for facilitating the assembling of wall board constructions wherein the wall boards are mounted in marginal channel v. members supported from studding by permai nent clips engaging said marginal channel members, said auxiliary clip comprising a light gauge sheet metal structure bent to channel formation adapted to receive the margin of a wall board and to enter the marginal channel member, one of the walls of the channel portion of said cli being extended perpendicularly therefrom 1n the form of a flange and having a slot of T-formation therein for its engagement in one or other of reverse positions with said studdin In testimony whereof I aflix m s1 ature.
