Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT APPLICANT: WEEKS PEACOCK QUALITY HOMES PTY LTD Invention Title: METHOD OF CONNECTING BRICK TIE TO STEEL STUD The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me: 2 METHOD OF CONNECTING BRICK TIE TO STEEL STUD FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a method of connecting a brick tie to a steel stud.
BACKGROUND ART 0..0 0 oo o o.
0 0 0000 0: -:060 It is known to connect a brick tie to a C-section steel stud by hooking the brick tie over the free end of the flange of the C-section steel stud. A problem with this mode of fixing the brick tie and stud together is the fact that the free end of the flange of the C-section stud has little strength and tends to flex under load.
It is also known to fix a brick tie to a box-section steel stud via a screw or the like.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION The present invention provides a method of connecting a brick tie to a steel stud, and to a steel stud, according to the following claims. Preferred features of the invention will be apparent from the dependant claims and from the following description of the preferred embodiment.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS 3 The invention will now be described in a non-limiting manner with respect to a preferred embodiment in which:- FIG 1 is sectional view of a prior art method of connecting a brick tie to a steel stud; FIG 2 is sectional view of a method of connecting a brick tie to a steel stud according to the present invention; stud according to the present invention; and FIG 4 is a elevational view of a steel stud according to the present invention.
15 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring firstly to FIG 1, there is shown a prior art mode of connecting a brick tie 20 to a C-section steel stud As illustrated, the steel stud 10 is a C-section stud comprised of a pair of parallel flanges 12 separated by a web 14.
The brick tie 20 includes a brick end 22, which in use is embedded in the mortar between adjacent courses of bricks, and a stud end 24 which in the prior art was hooked over the free end of flange 12 as shown in FIG 1.
W With reference briefly to FIG 4, there is shown a stud 10 having apertures 16 formed in the web 14 thereof. As shown there are a pair of columns of vertically spaced apertures 16. The vertical spacing of the apertures corresponds to the vertical spacing between courses of mortar within the brick wall.
The apertures 16 are not fully formed in that the material 18 of the web is not fully punched so as to be fully separated from web 14. Rather, material or slug 18 remains connected to the web 14 by one or more integral ties which connect 10 the slug 18 to the web 14.
As shown in FIGS 2 and 3, the slug of material 18 can be bent out of the way oooo• about the remaining integral ties so that the stud end 24 of brick tie 20 can be inserted through aperture 16. In fact, the slug 18 is typically bent out of the way by the stud end 24 of the brick tie 20 as it is inserted through aperture 16.
It will be appreciated with reference to FIG 2 that because the brick tie 20 is now attached to the web 14 rather than to the free end of flange 12, the brick tie is more positively located as the flexion of the flange 12 as shown in FIG 1 is eliminated.
With reference to FIG 3, there is shown a box section stud 10 comprised of a pair of C-section studs which are welded, riveted or otherwise connected together. Again, a series of vertically spaced apertures 16 are formed in the web 14 of the box section stud 10 so that the stud end 24 of the brick tie 20 can be inserted through the aperture 16 thereby displacing slug 18 as shown. It will Sbe appreciated that, with the prior art, there was no means of accessing the interior of the box-section stud and therefore the only option was to screw the brick tie to the exterior of the box-section stud.
In the preferred embodiments, the slug 18 is not completely severed from the material of web 14 in large part because this avoids the necessity of having to remove the severed slugs 18 from the machinery during the manufacture of the stud o•
Claims (7)
