10 Claims.
This invention relates to building c0nstruc tions, and has reference more particularly to structurally strong roof decks having sound obsorbing means associated therewith.
In the co-pending application of Manske, Odenwaldt and Gibson, Serial No. 562,522, filed September 12, 1931, entitled Roof and floor construction, now matured to Patent No. 1,900,721, a formed metal deck is described which is suitable for forming roofs and floors. When this metal deck is used as a roof, we have found it advantageous to combine sound absorbing materials on its lower face in order to produce a roof deck having combined structural strength and acoustical absorption. We have found that these sound absorbing materials, such as a perforated metal plate, can be secured to the roof deck in such a manner as to actually increase the structural strength of the latter.
An object of the invention therefore, is to provide an acoustical roof deck having combined structural strength and acoustical absorption.
Another object of the invention is to combine a sound absorbing, perforated metal plate with a roof deck in such a way as to increase the structural strengthof the latter; also to improve building constructions in other ways hereinafter specified and claimed.

Fig. 11 is a fragmentary, sectional elevation of a still further modified form of acoustical roof deck.
The framework of a building may consist of I beams or channel beams not shown which support transversely extending roof purlins [6 which are preferably in the form of channel beams. The roof deck comprises a metal plate l1, preferably of steel, in which are formed a plurality of ribs or channels I8 in spaced, parallel relation. The channels [8 are preferably few in number and have upwardly flaring legs 19 which are preferably substantially parallel near one end of the deck plate to permit overlapping of the ends of the deck plates. A rib 20 is also rolled in the deck plate between each of the channels l8, said ribs extending from one end of the deck plate to a point several inches from the opposite end of the deck plate l1. The ribs serve toprovide the flare of the legs [9 and therefore aid in the overlapping of the ends of the deck plate. One edge of the deck plate I! is provided with a downwardly extending flange 2|, and the opposite edge of said deck plate is provided with a downwardly extending L-shaped. channel 22. The flange 2| of one deck plate is adapted to nest in or interlock with the L-shaped channel 22 of the adjoining deck plate. In order to maintain the adjoining roof decks in interlocking relation a strap 23 is provided with a laterally extending flange 24 which is spot welded to the upper surface of the bottom of channel I8. A laterally extending flange 25 is bent into the dot and dash position as seen in Fig. 1 and is bent in the opposite full-line position during assembly of the roof so as to lie flush against the top surface of the roof deck H.
A sound absorbing pad 26 of mineral wool,
I vegetable fiber, hair felt, etc. is positioned between each of the channel ribs I8 below the deck plate I1. Channel runners 27 are spot welded to the bottoms of ribs l8 and have upstanding legs 28 terminating in outstanding ledges or flanges 29 which serve to engage the edges of the pad 26 and support said pad at a substantial distance above the bottoms of ribs It. A perforated sheet or plate 30 of metal or other suitable material, is secured across the bottom face of the roof deck as by spot welding to the bottoms of runners 2i. The plate 30 is preferably provided with triangularly shaped holes or openings 3| which are uniformly spaced across the entire face of said sheet, but said holes may be round, square, or any other desired shape. The perforated plate 35 is preferably painted or enameled to present an attractive appearance and its bottom surface may be washed with water to clean the same when soiled if desired. The pad is spaced apart from the plate 30 and will not be wet by the wash water. The space between the pad 25 and the perforated plate 30 also produces a better over-. all sound absorbing efliciency than if the pad is laid directly on the perforated plate. At one edge, the plate 35 has an upwardly turned flange 32 which fits inside the flange of the channel 22 and has a plurality of outwardly extending lugs 33 extending above said flange into openings 34 formed in a leg of the channel l5. This arrangement of the edge of the perforated plate permits the convenient interlocking of adjoining deck plates. The perforated plates may rest directly on the beams i5 and be are welded thereto.
In the form of construction shown in Fig. 1, it
- is necessary to use a pad which has suflicient rigidity that it will not sag down in the middle. When it is desired to use a softer and more pliable pad, a construction as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 may be used in which the pad is supported directly by a wire mat which is composed of longitudinal wires 35 and'cross wires 35 welded thereto. The wires 35 may have depressed arcuate loops 31 formed therein which serve to space the pad 25 apart from the perforated plate 35 when the mat is interposed between the pad 25 and said plate 35. If desired, the wires 35 and loops 31 may rest upon the flanges 29 and thus support the pad apart from the plate 35.
Inthe modified form of invention shown in Fig. 4-A, one outer edge of one pad 25 may be carried by the lower flange of a channel member 263., the upper flange of which may be spot welded to the lower face of the deck plate l1. In order to lock adjoining roof decks together an .L-shaped clip 25b is spot welded to a leg of the channel 22. During shipment, the clip 25 is in the dot and dash position shown in Fig. 4-A, and on erection, the clip is bent to the full-line position so that it lies flat against the upper surface of the adjoining deck with a naturally formed shoulder 26a bearing against the downstanding flange 2| of said deck.
It should be noted that in the forms of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the welding of the perforated plate 30 to the ribs l5 greatly strengthens the roof structure. Where such great strength is not required, the form of construction shown in Figs. 5 to 7 can be used. In this construction, a perforated plate 40 has an upturned flange 4| at each edge and a plurality of outwardly turned lugs 42 are formed in each flange 4| which engage in registering slots or openings 43 formed in the legs 44 of channel ribs 45 of deck plate 46. The slots 43 are preferably punched in the deck plate 45 prior to the rolling of the ribs 45. The flanges 4| have sufficient flexibility that the lugs 42 can be snapped in place in the slots 43 by an upward movement of the plate 40. A sound absorbing pad 41 is supported a distance above the metal plate 45 by saddle straps 48 which have upwardly extending legs 49 at each end terminating in return bent flanges 50 which form channels for engaging the upper edges of flanges 4|. The pads 41 are preferably laid on the straps 48 prior to the assembly of the perforated plate 40 with the roof deck.
In the form of construction shown in Fig. 9, a perforated plate 5| is provided with triangular the strips 54..
or other shaped openings 52. One side of each of the blanks forming the openingsv 52 is not severed in the punching operation and the blanks are bent upwardly at a right angle to the plate 5| 'so that their upper edges support a sound absorbing padv 53. The plate 5| may be attached by nails, screws or the like to wooden nailing strips 54 which are attached by bolts 55 to channel ribs 55 formed on deck plate 51. The use of these nailing strips 54 serves to increase the available space for the pads 53 and provides a convenient attaching means for the perforated plates 5|, at the same time serving to reinforce and strengthen the roof deck. If desired, nailing strips 54. may be secured by means of bolts or the like 55. to deck plates 51 transversely of the channel ribs 55 (Fig. 8), and a wire screen 55 may then be nailed or otherwise secured below This screen 55 may be painted to present apleasing surface from below, and will serve to hide the rough details .of construction while yetallowing sound waves to travel freely upwardly to be absorbed-by pads 53, which are preferably disposed between ribs 55 and rest upon strips 54-. The screen 55 (Fig. 10) may be attached by wires 59 to a furring channel 55 which in turn is attached by strap hangers 5| to the upturned roof deck flanges 52. Sound absorbing pads 53 are laid on the furring channels 55. Instead of the perforated plates 45, wire baskets 54. (Fig. 11) may be substituted which have wire attaching clips 55 welded to upturned flanges 55 formed on said baskets, said clips passing through the openings 43 and being bent downwardly to firmly attach the baskets to the roof deck.
Regardless of the type of roof deck designvused, we prefer to protect the upper surface of the roof deck with alayer of heat insulating material 61 which may consist of vegetable fiber boards, or gboards of mineral wool, etc. This layer 51- is attached to the deck plates by asphalt emulsion or other suitable adhesive, and is covered by a weatherproof layer of material 55 which may be asphalt roofing, shingles, etc. and is preferably attached to the insulating layer 51 by asphalt emulsion or other adhesive.
We state in conclusion that, while the illustrated examples constitute practical embodiments of our invention, we do not wish tolimit ourselves precisely to these details, since manifestly the same may be considerably varied without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
