Appl. No.:

6/277226

Inventors:

Robert R. Rasmussen - Lake Forest IL

International Classification:

E06B 104

US Classification:

52213

Abstract:

Door, window, and partition casing arrangements for dry wall partitioning in which a basic casing member is provided to line and mask the opening made in the dry wall partitioning for the purpose of providing door and window or the like installations in the wall structure provided by the partition, with the casing member having a basic generic arrangement in the form of an elongated plate having a longitudinally extending web portion which lines and masks a portion of the partition opening itself. This basic casing member may take a number of specific forms for specific applications. For doorways, the sides or jambs and head of the doorway may be framed with two such members for each end of the doorway, and two similar casing members may be employed for the doorway head. For each jamb and the head of the doorway, one of the casing members is disposed at one end of the doorway and the other member is disposed at the other end of the doorway, in masking relation to the partitioning and secured to the usual partition metal studding provided at such locations. Where the door is to be hinged to swing about a vertical axis, it is hinged by way of a piano style hinge to one of the casing jamb covering side members, and a casing side member at the same end of the door that is on the other side of the casing is suitably equipped for cooperation with a conventional door latching device.

5/508440

Inventors:

Robert R. Rasmussen - Lake Forest IL

International Classification:

E04B 274

US Classification:

52287

Abstract:

A trim arrangement for interior partitions comprising a trim member of resiliently flexible generally planar construction having a pair of outwardly facing upper and lower trim walls juxtaposed to and separated by a continuous slot extending longitudinally of the member, which slot exposes a rearwardly inset continuous anchoring wall defining on the rearwardly facing side of the trim member a rearwardly facing seating surface that is straddled on either side of same by bracing flanges, all of which are applied against the partition wall surface when the trim member is secured to the partition wall surface by applying fasteners at random positions along the anchoring wall through the slot, with a seal strip being force fitted into locking arrangement within the slot to mask the fasteners along the length of the trim member. The trim member in one form is applied along the lower edge of the partition as a base trim and in this form the upper trim wall arcs rearwardly to meet with the partition wall surface, and the lower trim wall is in substantial parellelism with the plane of the trim member for its width and meets the floor. In another form the trim member is applied at chair back top level to serve as a chair rail, and in this form the upper and lower trim walls are the same as the upper trim wall for the base trim.
