A furniture channel for vertical disposition against horizontal framing members, with an intermittent raised bead on the furniture channel inner surface for selective, optional positioning, against the horizontal framing members, for obtaining the desired spacing of the furniture channel faces from the framing members.

Furniture channel

A metal stud, intended for use where the flanges on one side will be left exposed, having such exposed side flanges formed with an overlapped sheet metal portion, including an under flange and an over flange which are spaced apart to allow a cooling air flow therebetween, wherein the under flange includes means for providing a cooling flow of air or gases at the interface of the under flange and an adjacent gypsum board, which means may be a plurality of dimples in the under flange or a combination of dimples and a plurality of spaced apart holes in the under flange.

Metal stud

Clips, which are rigidly affixed to a structure, are loosely affixed to vinyl siding by elements grasping the siding nailing portion.

Vinyl siding attachment

A metal stud, intended for use where the flanges on one side will be left exposed, having such exposed side flanges formed with an overlapped sheet metal portion, including an under flange and an over flange which are spaced apart to allow a cooling air flow therebetween, wherein the under flange includes means for providing a cooling flow of air or gases at the interface of the under flange and an adjacent gypsum board, which may be a rib in the under flange or a plurality of spaced apart holes in the under flange.

A thin semi-rigid preformed elongate strip for disposition at the junctions of adjacent drywall wallboards or between sections of a plaster wall to absorb movement within a wall without detrimental effects therefrom, having two outwardly directed opposed flanges arranged for affixation to the wallboard or the lath outer face along adjacent edges, an adjoining central flexible bent portion arranged to be disposed below the general surface plane of the wall between adjacent edges of boards or sections thereof, and adjoined along its lateral edges to the two flanges, and an upwardly extending screed formed in each flange. In the preferred form, a flat strip extends across the central portion on the face of the strip. This may be of different material and more flexible, and may be formed for rapid removal after completion of the wall construction.
