The present invention relates to a metal framing bracket secured between support members or secured to a single support member having lips with notches engaging the aperture of support members allowing additional bracing members to overlap the brackets or channel shapes by increasing or decreasing the bracket size and shape of the bracket.

A wall assembly includes tracks structured to be coupled to supports and wall studs coupled to the tracks. The wall studs include a first sidewall, a first web coupled to the first sidewall and a second sidewall coupled to the first web to define a first channel. The wall studs further include a second web coupled to the second sidewall and a third sidewall coupled to the second web to define a second channel as well as a third web coupled to the third sidewall and a fourth sidewall coupled to the third web to define a third channel. The second web is offset from the first web and the third web to isolate each of the channels and attenuate sound waves. Further, the studs may include one or more openings for further isolation and to reduce the amount of steel in the studs, which reduces cost.

Provided is a construction panel assembly, which is applicable to a detachable method capable of assembling and disassembling a ceiling, a wall or a floor material which partitions spaces of various kinds of buildings. Also, the construction panel assembly allows materials to be reused, so that the generation of construction waste may be minimized. The construction panel assembly includes: a main frame disposed in a mutually opposed arrangement on a wall surface at a predetermined position determined according to design specifications; an auxiliary frame inserted into the main frame to define a structure; a flat panel mounted on the structure to partition a space; and a finishing member for shielding a connection portion of the main frame and the auxiliary frame. Since the construction panel assembly may be constructed by using a main frame and an auxiliary frame, which define a structure, such that a panel formed of a material such as plate glass, a gypsum board, plywood and steel may be freely attached and detached, the materials may be reused and accordingly, the generation of the construction waste may also be minimized unlike typical techniques.

A waterproof and safety framing system is disclosed. The framing system includes a building defining an opening, a wall panel, and a framing assembly. The framing assembly includes receiver and a bottom track. The receiver is installed along an edge of the opening, with the receiver including a receiver bottom wall that defines a receiver ridge extending along a length of the receiver. The bottom track is attached to an edge of the wall panel and including a track bottom wall that defines a track ridge, with the receiver and the bottom track matingly engaging such that the bottom track overlays the receiver and the receiver ridge and the track ridge are proximal one another. The framing assembly is structured to prevent the wall panel from passing through the opening in a first direction.

A retainer for securing conduit or wire to an opening in metal stud includes a pair of outer retaining portions for securing the retainer to the metal stud. Each outer retaining portion includes a groove for receiving an edge of a panel of the metal stud. An inner retaining portion includes a base connecting the pair of outer retaining portions to one another. The inner retaining portion further includes a pair of retention members defining a retention area therebetween in which a conduit can be secured. Each retention member includes a flexible arm. Each of the outer retaining portions extends away from the base to a free end.

An apparatus for supporting and retaining a plurality of parallel spaced apart wall studs comprises a longitudinally extending base having first and second side edges and first and second opposed sidewalls extending generally perpendicular to the base from the first and second side edges, wherein the base and sidewalls together define a trough for receiving and retaining an end portion of the plurality of wall studs. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of clips sized to fit within and extend transversely across the trough, each of the plurality of clips having first and second tabs extending from the base wherein the first and second tabs each define a slot with a corresponding of the first and second sidewalls sized to receive a portion of the wall studs therein.

An embodiment of a drywall track component comprises at least a web, a first flange extending substantially perpendicular from a web first edge, a second flange extending substantially perpendicular from a web second edge, a first ledge extending substantially perpendicular from a first flange second edge, and a first track wall extending substantially perpendicular from a first ledge second edge. The drywall track component may include one or more inner clips removably connected to the first track wall and/or the second track wall. The inner clip(s) may comprise an inner clip top return lip, an inner clip vertical wall, and an inner clip bottom return lip. Another embodiment of a drywall track component comprises a web, a first flange extending substantially perpendicular from a web first edge, a second flange extending substantially perpendicular from a web second edge, a first outer clip removably connected to the first flange, and a second outer clip removably connected to the second flange. Each of the first outer clip and the second outer clip may comprise an outer clip top return lip, a ledge, an outer clip vertical wall, and an outer clip bottom return lip.

A blocking component for construction framing assembly comprises a web, a first flange, a second flange, a first ear, a second ear, a third ear, and a fourth ear. The first flange has a first flange first edge attached to a web first edge with the first flange extending away from the web bottom surface. The second flange has a second flange first edge attached to a web second edge with the second flange extending away from the web bottom surface. The first ear extends from a first flange first end. The second ear extends from a first flange second end. The third ear extends from a second flange first end. The fourth ear extends from a second flange second end. The blocking component may extend between and be attached at the ears to a pair of studs used in construction framing assembly.

A shaft wall assembly system including triangular shaped steel studs with one or more layers of wall board secured to one side of the triangular shaped steel studs. The triangular steel studs preferably rest in a notched floor runner and a notched ceiling runner. The one or more layers of wall board are then directly attached to a flat side of the triangular stud with properly sized steel screws. This system will be useful as a shaft wall system or in locations where attachment of wall board to both sides of a wall system is not feasible.

A building component (1) for attachment to an uneven surface (32) such that a gap (34) exists at one or more locations between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), the building component (1) including mounting means (10) located at one or more positions along the building component (1), the mounting means (10) having a portion (20) adapted to be located outside the plane of the building component (1) and between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), wherein fastening means attaches the mounting means (10) to the uneven surface (32) to enable the building component (1) to remain substantially straight when attached to the uneven surface (32).
