Dec. 26, 1967 A. F. DZWONKAS WALL-FACE MOUNTED FLASHING RECEIVER Filed June 50, 1965 INVENTOR Anthony E Dzwonkos BY li'l i gRNE 'u YS United States Patent 3,359 692 WALL-FACE MOUNTED FLASHING RECEIVER Anthony F. Dzwonkas, Westrnoreiand, N.Y., assignor to Revere Copper and Brass Incorporated, Rome, N .Y., a corporation of Maryland Filed June 30, 1965, Ser. No. 468,531 2 Claims. (CI. 5260) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A wall-face mountable receiver for metal flashing is made of sheet metal and is given mounting rigidity by forming a sharp fold along the junction between the mounting portion and the flashing-receiving portion of the device.
This invention relates to metal flashings for use in building construction and, more particularly, to a flashing receiver adapted to be mounted on the face of a building wall.
Metal flashings are commonly used in heavy building construction for preventing water seepage through masonry joints. These flashings can usually be mounted in receivers which are incorporated in the masonry, but in the case of a new building to be tied into an existing masonry wall it has generally been necessary to out onto the existing wall to mount a reglet as the flashing receiver.
I have now devised a wall-face mounted flashing receiver that can be secured directly to the face of an existing masonry wall. The receiver of the present invention comprises a receiver portion, a mounting portion and a connecting portion, all composed of form-sustaining sheet metal. The receiver portion consists essentially of convolute folds, such as those shown in United States Patents Nos. 2,641,203 and 2,856,871, adapted to receive a terminal edge of a sheet metal flashing therebetween. The mounting portion consists essentially of a flat mounting surface disposed substantially in the plane of the innermost convolution of the receiver portion and is provided advantageously with a sharply folded obliquely projecting terminal flange extending outwardly from the plane of the flat mounting portion. The connecting portion of the receiver interconnects the flat mounting portion and the outermost convolution of the receiver portion with a sharp fold line at the junction of the connecting portion and the flat mounting portion.
These and other novel features of the flashing receiver of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawing in which the single figure is a side elevation in section showing the receiver of the invention mounted on a wall face and holding a flashing in locked position.
As shown in the drawing, the receiver comprises a mounting portion 1, a connector portion 2 and a receiver portion 3. The mounting portion comprises a flat body portion 4- the upper end of which has a terminal flange 5 projecting obliquely outwardly. The flange is bent outwardly along a sharp fold line 6 which imparts rigidity to the body portion 4. The lower end of the body portion 4 terminates at a second sharp fold line 7 delineating the upper end of the connector portion 2, the fold line 7 contributing further to the rigidity of the otherwise flat body portion 4 of the mounting portion. The other end of the connector portion is defined by another fold line 8 adjoining the receiver portion 3. The receiver portion is of a conventional type such as that described in the aforementioned patents and comprises convolute folds 9a, 9b, 9c and 9d adapted to receive the upper terminal edge of a flashing member 10.
The body portion 4 of the mounting portion 1 is flat so as to provide a secure mounting surface against a masonry wall 11. Although such a flat body portion would 3,359,692 Patented Dec. 26, 1967 have little rigidity by itself, the sharp fold line junction between the body portion 4 and the connector portion 2 reinforces the body portion similarly to the flanges of an I beam, and this rigidity is supplemented by the overall 5- 5 shaped contour of the integral body portion 4, the connector portion 2 and the outermost convolution 9a of the receiver portion. Further rigidity of the body portion 4 is afforded by the top flange 5, this flange providing a trough-like space with the wall 11 at the top of the receiver into which a sealant such as a conventional caulking compound can be inserted. I have found, however, that the top flange 5 is not essential to the rigidity of the body portion because of the aforementioned S-shaped bend adjoining the lower portion of the body portion. Accordingly, the top flange 5 can be eliminated, in which case a gasket-like strip is applied to the face of the body portion 4 which is placed against the wall.
The flashing receiver of the invention is mounted on a masonry wall by forming a row of spaced holes in the wall at the desired height, then inserting a wood, lead or other type plug 12 in each hole. The flashing receiver is placed in a horizontal position across the row of plugs and is secured in place by a screw 13 or other fastener extending through the body portion 4 into a plug. After an appropriate number of lengths of the flashing receiver have been mounted to extend across the wall, the flashing is mounted in the receiver by inserting the upper terminal edge of the flashing between the folds 9b and 9c of the receiver portion 3.
It will be seen that the flashing receiver of the invention is capable of being mounted on the face of an existing Wall, whether of masonry, wood or other material, and that the body of the mounting portion, although formed of relatively thin sheet metal, has sufficient rigidity to insure a 35 water-tight fit against the wall face when the mounting portion is secured to the wall face by conventional fasteners positioned at convenient spaced intervals.
I claim:
1. A wall-face mountable receiver for metal flashing which comprises a receiver portion, a mounting portion and a connecting portion interconnecting the receiver and mounting portions, all of said portions being composed of form-sustaining sheet metal, the receiver portion consisting essentially of convolute folds including an innermost and an outermost fold adapted to receive a terminal edge of a sheet metal flashing therebetween, the mounting portion consisting essentially of a flat mounting surface disposed substantially in the plane of the innermost convolution of the receiver portion furthest removed from the connecting portion when the mounting portion is secured to a wall face, the connecting portion of the receiver interconnecting the flat mounting portion and the outermost convolution of the receiver portion with a sharp fold line at the junction of the connecting portion and the fiat mounting portion.
2. A receiver according to claim 1 in which the mounting portion is provided with a sharply folded obliquely projecting terminal flange extending outwardly from the plane of said flat mounting surface.
