摘要:
A unitary suspension clip for suspending gypsum board panels from the horizontal channel member of an erect support structure. The plate portion of the clip has panel-piercing members projecting rearwardly to affix the plate to the panel. A transverse line of weakness extends substantially across the width of the plate such that when the panel is suspended from the channel member, the load applied between the channel member and the plate causes the plate to bend therealong to prevent the pulling of the panel-piercing members out of the panel. A wing is formed along the edge of the plate and extends outwardly therefrom with a second line of weakness running in the same direction as the edge of the plate between the wing and the plate. The wing is bent at the second line of weakness upwardly from the surface of the gypsum board panel and has an angled surface formed therein which rests on the horizontal channel member and causes the panel to be drawn into engagement with the erect support structure.

A structural frame is provided comprising opposed ceiling and floor channels and spaced apart, C-shaped metal studs extending vertically between the channels. Each stud has its single central web positioned transversely relative to the main plane of the frame. Pairs of short brackets are suspended from the webs of adjacent studs in opposed and vertically spaced relation. Each bracket comprises a horizontal V-shaped wall having downwardly extending side walls which form vertical end edges at the end of the bracket adjacent the web. A plurality of hooks extend from these end edges. A pattern of vertical slots is formed in the stud web and the bracket hooks extend into these slots and attach to the web. The bracket is sized to fit snugly between the side walls of the C-shaped stud, to reinforce these walls so that they do not collapse inwardly when loaded. A gypsum board panel having suspension assemblies attached to its back surface is suspended from the brackets as the suspension assembly clips engage the sloping segments of the bracket's V-shaped wall. The bracket end edges bear against the web and distribute the panel load thereover, so that the stud is not deformed. Each bracket is "single sided"--that is, it extends perpendicularly from only one side of the web. Thus a stud and bracket can be used to start a wall from an abutting position with another wall.
摘要:
A demountable wall system having studs and component parts capable of being used as a fully reinforced or edge grip system simply by turning the studs over. The studs are provided with cut-outs for receiving either the angled member of a suspension clip or receiving the ends of horizontal support members between a retaining member extending outwardly from the stud representing the cut-out portion of the stud and the surface of the stud. In both configurations, a gypsum board panel is supported by the suspension clip, which includes a gang nail plate which is driven into the panel, having the angled member thereof resting either directly in the cut-out of the stud or on a horizontal bar member which rests on the stud.
摘要:
An integral clip for attaching wall panels to metal studs having flanges in engagement with the occluded surfaces of the wall panels, the clip comprising impaling points adapted to be driven into the occluded surface of the panel for securing the clip to the panel, the clip also having flange attachment members struck from the clip and adapted to engage the flange of a stud, thereby affixing the panel to the stud.
摘要:
A progressive demountable partition in which gypsum wallboard is affixed against I-shaped vertical studs by a plurality of small sheet metal clips having short tangs projecting into the wallboard back face and having a flange-engaging forwardly extending portion engaged behind the vertical stud flanges.

The specification discloses a prefinished vinyl wall system for modular construction in an office building and a method for installing the same. Prefinished wall panels are dimensioned to abut with one another along their lateral edges. The panels are cemented to C-beams located just behind the panels on both sides of the joint. Staples are inserted along the lateral edges of each panel to engage a freely floating T-section disposed behind the joint formed by abutting panels to retain the panels in alignment until such time as the panels are permanently secured to the C-beams. The exterior portion of the lateral edges of each panel are beveled to form a V-junction on the finished side of the panels at the joint to give the panels a professional, workmanlike appearance.

A method of manufacturing a construction panel comprising the steps of laying a plurality of rigid support members on a preformed assembly jig, each rigid support member having two main planar surfaces with perimeter surfaces extending between these main planar surfaces, laying the plurality of rigid support members so that each rigid support member has at least one perimeter surface in an abutting relationship with the perimeter surface of an adjacent rigid support member, bridging at least part of the length of abutting perimeter surfaces with at least one connector means for connecting the plurality of rigid support members together into a predetermined shape and size of modular rigid panel member.
摘要:
An improved horizontal support member for a demountable wall system which decreases the number of pieces which must be cut and folded, and subsequently assembled, to form a frame to which the gypsum board panels of the wall are assembled while increasing the strength and stability of the wall. The support member is formed from an elongate sheet of metal by making a series of longitudinal cuts in the metal and then folding the cut metal edges along lines which are substantially parallel to the longitudinal cuts to form first and second bars. The space between longitudinal cuts acts as a spacer to maintain the first and second bars in spaced, substantially parallel relationship.
