One-piece stud attachments support non-rigid insulation filling the cavities within a wall structure. Each attachment comprises two tongue portions perpendicular to each other. The first tongue portion is screwed or nailed on a wood stud, with the second tongue portion projecting into one of the cavities and penetrating the insulation to support it and prevent slippage thereof downwardly by gravity. The second tongue portion may have spikes, its free end twisted, or a forked free end to hook the insulation. The first tongue portion can also be formed with spikes penetrating the wood of the stud in order to increase the rigidity of fixation. Advantageously, the first tongue portion is made of a strip of metal sheet having its free end half folded over its other half to thereby form a U-shaped, first tongue portion which can be hooked into a hole of a metal stud.
A one-piece stud attachment for supporting non-rigid insulation filling cavities within a wall structure including a plurality of spaced apart, generally parallel studs, each of said cavities being delimited by two adjacent ones of said studs, said stud attachment comprising a first and a second tongue portions angularly disposed with respect to each other, said first tongue portion comprising means for attaching the same to one of said studs with the second tongue portion projecting into one of said cavities delimited by the latter stud, which second tongue portion penetrating said non-rigid insulation to support it and thereby prevent slippage thereof downwardly by gravity, wherein at least one of said first and second tongue portions is embossed in order to increase the mechanical rigidity of said stud attachment.
