Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/717,485, filed on Dec. 17, 2012, which application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/630,557, filed on Dec. 15, 2011, and also to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/853,198 filed on Apr. 1, 2013; all of which applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties for all purposes.
- The present invention relates generally to building construction and, more particularly, to rigid reinforcement connector clips that are configured to interconnect studs to a header or sill member within a sheet-metal wall assembly, as well as to related wall assemblies.
- In the building construction industry, there is often a need to connect together (interconnect) a plurality of vertical studs to a horizontal header or sill member such as, for example, during the construction of sheet-metal wall assemblies having doorway or window openings. In such wall assemblies, a horizontally positioned sheet-metal sill member is generally installed above a doorway or window opening, and a plurality of upwardly extending “kicker” studs are attached to the top portion of the sill member such that they extend upward to the ceiling (so as to define a section of the overall wall assembly). Consequently, and in order to facilitate the attachment of kicker studs to sill members, a number of specialty add-on “track” and “clip” components have been developed over the years as is known in the art. Exemplary in this regard is the ProX HEADER SYSTEM (inclusive of its related specialty track and clip components) sold by ClarkWestern Building Systems. The ProX HEADER SYSTEM is relatively complex and expensive.
- Therefore, and although some specialty connection components useful for interconnecting kicker studs to sill members within a wall assembly are known, there is still a need in the art for new and improved connector clips and related wall assemblies. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides for further related advantages.
- In brief, the present invention is directed to a sheet-metal wall assembly in combination with a rigid connector clip for interconnecting a horizontally positioned sheet-metal sill member to an abutting vertically positioned sheet-metal stud. Unlike some common U-shaped sill members, the C-shaped sill members associated with the present invention have opposing sidewalls that include confronting and inwardly extending upper sill returns. The connector clip of the present invention comprises: a substantially planar web having a pair of opposing side web flanges, wherein each side web flange is substantially flat and perpendicular to the web; first and second horizontally transverse and confronting open-ended inwardly-directed web slots on the web; and first and second horizontally transverse open-ended flange slots aligned and continuous with the first and second web slots, wherein the first and second flange slots define respective upper and lower portions of the opposing side web flanges, and wherein the web slots and the flange slots are engaged with the upper sill returns of the sill member such that substantially the entire outer surface of the lower portions of side web flanges are in planar contact with the respective opposing sidewalls of the sill member. The innovative connector clip of the present invention is universal and may readily accommodate (by flipping over) sill members having a depth of either 2 or 3 inches.
- These and other aspects of the present invention will become more evident upon reference to the following detailed description and attached drawings. It is to be understood, however, that various changes, alterations, and substitutions may be made to the specific embodiments disclosed herein without departing from their essential spirit and scope.
