Claims13
A structural support framing assembly comprising:
- a). a plurality of stud mounts, each of said mounts having a base secured to a floor pad;
- b) a plurality of studs, each of said studs having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom end having one or more edges engaged within one or two of said stud mounts;
- c) said stud mount further having at least two parallel plates integral with and perpendicular to said base, wherein each of said plates further includes one or more slots penetrating therethrough, such that slots of adjacent said plates are in registration with one another in order to engage therein the bottom edge of one of said studs within said stud mount;
- d) each of said plurality of stud mounts secured to only one of said plurality of studs;
- e) each of said plurality of studs, in combination with said stud mounts, are positioned parallel to one another and perpendicular to said floor pad to define, in combination with one another, an interior portion of said framing assembly;
- and
- f) a plurality of fasteners for securing said studs to said stud mounts, at least one of said fasteners engaging one of said studs to one of said adjacent plates along any point along said stud, thereby allowing for height adjustment of said stud within said stud mount to accommodate any un-level areas of said floor pad.

A multi-story structural support framing assembly comprising:
- a) a first plurality of stud mounts, each having a base secured to a first floor pad of a first story of said framing assembly;
- b) a second plurality of inverted stud mounts, each having a base secured to a bottom surface of a second floor pad, said second floor pad oriented directly above and parallel to said first floor paid;
- c) a first plurality of studs connecting said first and second floor pads, each of said studs having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom end having one or more edges engaged within one or two of said first plurality of stud mounts, and said top end having one or more edges engaged within one or two of said second plurality of inverted stud mounts;
- d) a third plurality of stud mounts, each having a base secured to a top surface of a second floor pad;
- e) a second plurality of studs, each of said studs having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom end having one or more edges engaged within one or two of said third plurality of stud mounts;
- f) each of said stud mounts further having at least two parallel plates integral with and perpendicular to said base, wherein said bottom end or top end of said studs are engaged within said slots, said stud mounts further having at least one hole communicating through the base for engaging a fastener, said fastener configured to secure said stud mounts to said first or second floor pads;
- and
- g) a plurality of fasteners for securing said studs to said stud mounts.
