May 19, 1931. o. T. ANDERBERG BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Filed Dec. 19, 1928 Patented May 19,1931
j U I E- stares PATENT orries OSCAR 'I., ANDERBERG, or. MASON CITY, IOWA BUILDING cons'rn-uc'rloiv Application filed. December 19, 1928. Serial no.'a2c,ee2.
The present invention is to provide a novel device for the holding, connecting and se-' the shouldered parts of thewallchannel: and,
flanged parts ioilthe connecting means, and the part of the connecting means 1n the frame groove may have resllient or yleldable; and
flanged portions whichimay be'fieXed to'permit ready entry of the connecting means into the frame groove, yet'expand therein for en-.
gaging the side walls of the'groove' andtor holding the connecting means in proper position. The connecting means is preferably adjustable to accommodate or compensatefor variation and tolerances between the frame and the walls of the opening. with which the frame is to be associated. Such adj'ustability may be effected by reason of the yieldability or resiliency ofthe parts of theconnecting means and the relation thereto of the cooperative parts of the channels or grooves in the frame and wall portions.
Other objects,capabilities, advantagesand features are comprehended by the invention as will later appear and as are possessed thereby.
Referring to the drawings, Fi 1 is a view in vertical elevation of a window in a Wall with partsbroken away showing the application of the invention. I
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through inherently a part of the structure, and as represented by preferably disposed" in :divergent relation,
Fig. 3 is a view in broken perspective or isometric view of a mode of employing the invention. 7
Referring to the drawings more in detail,
7 the embodiment selected to illustrate, theinvention is shown in connection with a wall 1, which'may be of precast material, such-as concrete, or made. up of a plurality of blocks or tile 2,.inthe usual manner to form an openinginthewall, such as a door or window. At the base oftheopening is provided one or moresill members 3 and at the other part of the opening may be provided one or more lintel members 4;, and at the sides of the openings'the concrete or tiles form the jambs for the opening. --In the amb portions, and the lintel. and sill members, are provided, adjacent to the opening, channels 5 communicat-v ing with enlargements 6 of the channels so as to provide between each channel part 5 and the enlargement 6, apair of shoulders 7 and 8, the purpose of which will be later. explained. f I
Withinthe opening is disposed a-trame having a base piece 9, a head piece 10 and side pieces or j amb members 11 and 12. Each one of these/pieces or members, is disposed to cooperate with therespective sill 3, lintel l, and "the jambs at the sides of the opening.
' Each framememberj or'piece has in the face "adjacent the wall, a channel or groove 13 which islpreferably deeper or wider in the frame. member, and taperingtoward the surface of. the frame member. The channel or groove-.13-Emay be located opposite with the lugs. 3
vchannel 5 as shown in F ig. 2 of the draw- For the purpose,
member comprisinga pair of channelshaped 'welding.- or otherwise, when metal is used, at any selec'tednumberof points or along a line,
as desired. Part of the webportions are such portions2l and .22 being'resilienti or of holding or. connecting the frame piece tothe respectivewall portion, there slocated a connecting means or members 14 and "15 having flange portions l6 andl'l'aton'e'side and-flange portions 18 .ZtHClflQ atthe other side, the web portions of sprin'gyp Th ese portions 21' and 22 may be 7 compressed together so, that the flanges l6 and Q17 thereofmaybe inserted through the opening of the groove 12, and whenreleased, the
Within the channel portion 6 is placed a locking member 23 having bent back resilient flange portions 24 and 25 adapted .to press against the shoulders 7 and 8 and be interposed between such shoulders and the flanges 19 and 18 of the connecting means, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. In this way, there is a resilient connection between the shoulders 7 and 8 and the flanges 18 and 19, so as to impress a stress upon the connecting member so as to hold the same tightly against the oblique side walls of the groove 13 of the frame member, and hence constantly press the frame member closely against the adjacent wall portion of the wall. It will be noted, that the web portion of the connecting means is disposed substantially in the middle of the channel 5 so as to provide on each side thereof an insulating space which may be filled either with air, or with insulating material as desired. The connecting means acts as a weather strip between the frame and the wall, thus sealing against leakage of air or wind, rain, or the like, therebetween. The flanges 18 and 19, as also flange flanges 16 and 17 may be yicldable, or resilient, so that when variations occur between the frame and associated wall portions, these flanges may bemore or less flexed to compensate or accommodate for such variations. Such adjustability may also be effected by the moving of the flanges 16 and 17 over or along the angular side walls of the channel 13. the parts2l and 22, and flanges 16 and 17 flexing for such purpose according to the degree of adjustment.
When assembling the device, the wall, or the rows or layers of tile, may be built up to the layer to include the sill 3. A connecting member may then be placed in the groove 13 of the base piece 9 by pressing together the flexible or resilient parts 21 and 22 so that the flanges 16 and 17 may be made toenter the groove 17. The flanges will press against the inclined side walls of the groove 13.
The frame may then be placed upon the sill 3 so that the connecting means with its flanges 18 and 19 will extend into and through the channel portion 5 of the sill 3. The workman may then apply the locking member 23 lengthwise through the channel portion 6 of the sill. The resiliency of flanges 25 and 24 will cause the connecting means to be drawn tightly with the flanges 16 and 17 against the inclined side walls of the'groove 13 and thus hold the frame in upright position. Flexing of the flanges 18 and 19, and 16 and 17, and the parts 21 and 22 will be effected moreor less depending upon the extent of adjustability required to make the frame fit in place.
The wall at the ends of the sill and above sill 3 may then be built or laid and the side jambs of the opening be then built or laid progressively upwardly. Before the jambs are built or laid, connecting means may be connected to the side members 11 and 12 of the frame by inserting the flexible parts 21 and 22with their flanges 17 and 18 in the grooves 13 of the side members 11 and 12 of the frame. As the jambs are built on the tiles are put into place, they are positioned so as to pass over the connecting means and their flanges 18 and 19, the connecting means in this case being in upright position. When the upper part of the jambs or the upper tiles at the upper end of the frame are built or are placed in position, the workman may then slide downwardly in the channel portions 6, the locking means 23, so as to interpose the flexible flanges24 and 25 between the shoulders 7 and 8 and the flanges 19 and 20 of the connecting means.
In the up per part 10 of the frame may then be placed the upper connecting means for inserting the flexible parts 21 and 22 into the groove in the frame part 10in the same Way as in the other parts. The connecting means will then extend upwardly. The lintel may then be placed over this connecting means so that the connecting means will enter into the channel portions 5 and 6 thereof. The workmen may then apply the locking member 23 longitudinally through the channel portion 6 of the lintel 4 so as to lock the connecting means in place and to hold the lintel tightly to the frame member 10. The remaining wall parts or tiles may then be built or laid to continue the upper structure of the wall.
W'hile I have herein described and upon the drawings shown an illustrative embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto but may comprehend other constructions, arrangements of parts, details and features without departing from the spirit thereof.
