Abstract
An assembly for acoustical mitigation in a building may comprise a stud and at least one first acoustical isolator. The stud may comprise a web, and a first flange. The first flange extending substantially perpendicular to the web and having at least one first flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole. At least a portion of the first acoustical isolator may pass through the first flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole. The first acoustical isolator may be configured to acoustically isolate the stud and a first wall panel supported by the stud.
Claims2
An assembly for acoustical mitigation in a building, said assembly comprising:
- a stud (100) having:
- a web (110),
- a first flange (120) extending substantially perpendicular to the web and having at least one first flange acoustical isolator through-hole (124) or partially lanced-hole passing through the first flange from a first flange web side to a first flange side opposite the web;
- and
- at least one first acoustical isolator (210);
- and
- wherein at least a portion of the first acoustical isolator passes through the first flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole, with the first acoustical isolator is configured to acoustically isolate the stud and a first wall panel (300) supported by the stud,
- wherein the at least one first acoustical isolator comprises a first body (212), at least one first standoff peg (214) extending from a bottom surface of the first body, a first stem (216) approximately centrally located and extending from the bottom surface of the first body, and a first lock (218) attached to the first stem, wherein the first lock and a portion of the first stem pass through the first flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole so that the first lock is on the first flange web side and the first body is on the first flange side opposite the web.

- a first flange (120) extending substantially perpendicular to the web and having at least one first flange acoustical isolator through-hole (124) or partially lanced-hole passing through the first flange from a first flange web side to a first flange side opposite the web;
- and
- at least one first acoustical isolator (210);
- wherein at least a portion of the first acoustical isolator passes through the first flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole, and the first acoustical isolator is configured to acoustically isolate the stud and a first wall panel (300) supported by the stud,
- wherein the stud further comprises a second flange (130) extending substantially perpendicular to the web in the same direction as the first flange and having at least one second flange acoustical isolator through-hole (134) or partially lanced-hole passing through the second flange from a second flange web side to a second flange side opposite the web;
- and the assembly further comprises at least one second acoustical isolator (220);
- wherein the second acoustical isolator passes through the second flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole, and the second acoustical isolator is configured to acoustically isolate the stud and a second wall panel (320) supported by the stud;
- wherein the at least one second acoustical isolator comprises a second body (222), at least one second standoff peg (224) extending from a bottom surface of the second body, a second stem (226) approximately centrally located and extending from the bottom surface of the second body, and a second lock (218) attached to the second stem, and
- wherein the second lock and a portion of the second stem pass through the second flange acoustical isolator through-hole or partially lanced-hole so that the second lock is on the second flange web side and the second body is on the second flange side opposite the web.
