Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A metal studding having a web portion, spaced apart sections in said web portion, oppositely disposed right angular flanges on said spaced apart sections, oppositely disposed longitudinally extending channels formed in said spaced apart sections inwardly of said flanges, an elongated metal member positioned between said spaced apart sections and against said flanges and partially within said channels, said member Consisting of an apertured longitudinally extending flat body seated against said oppositely disposed flanges and spanning said spaced apart sections, a pair of oppositely disposed spaced right angular secondary flanges on each of the opposite sides of said flat body, outturned longitudinally extending end sections on one pair of said secondary flanges slidably engaging said oppositely disposed channels in said spaced apart web sections and the other pair of secondary flanges extending outwardly axially of said studding so as to form spacing means for wall panels positioned on and supported by said first flanges, selected areas of the material constituting said oppositely disposed right angular flanges being displaced from the plane of said flanges outwardly thereof, said areas cooperating with areas on the flat body of said elongated metal member positioned thereagainst.
