Abstract
An arch casing bead having a mounting flange and a ground flange extending therefrom. The mounting flange includes a free edge and an edge proximate to a junction of the ground flange and the mounting flange. A notch is formed in the mounting flange extending from the free edge towards the ground flange. The notch defines an arcuate portion which is positioned proximate to the ground flange. A pair of spaced apart edges extend from the arcuate portion to the free edge defining a mouth of the notch. The notch facilitates arcuate deformation of the elongated casing bead without angularly deforming the ground flange.
Claims19
A casing bead article for use in plaster construction, said casing bead being a generally elongated strip of material, said casing bead article comprising:
- a mounting flange having an abutting surface for contacting an underlying structure and a material surface for receiving a plaster construction material thereagainst;
- a ground flange attached to and extending away from said mounting flange, said ground flange having an internal surface juxtaposed to said material surface and an external surface opposite said internal surface;
- a free edge of said mounting flange spaced from said ground flange;
- and
- said mounting flange having a series of notches extending from said free edge towards said ground flange, each of said notches having a pair of elongated edges extending from said free edge towards said ground flange, and an arcuate portion of said notch being positioned between said elongated edges and said ground flange, said arcuate portion defining an arcuate edge connecting said pair of elongated edges;
- said elongated edges are spaced apart defining a notch gap therebetween;
- and
- said elongated edges being disposed at an angle relative to one another and tapering outwardly from said arcuate portion to said free edge of said mounting flange.
An elongated casing bead article comprising:
- an elongated ground flange having a first elongated edge and second elongated edge extending generally parallel relative to an exterior surface and an interior surface;
- a plurality of neighboring tabs attached to and extending from said second edge of said ground flange;
- each of said tabs having a free edge spaced from said second edge of said ground flange, each pair of said plurality of neighboring tabs defining a notch therebetween, each of said notches having a pair of elongated edges extending from said free edge and terminating in an arcuate portion approximate to said second edge of said ground flange;
- said elongated edges of said notch are disposed at an angle defining a tapered notch gap therebetween, said notch gap tapering outwardly from said arcuate portion to said free edge of said neighboring tabs.
A casing bead article for use in forming an arch construction in a plaster or stucco construction, said casing bead comprising:
- an elongated ground flange having an internal surface and an external surface;
- a mounting flange attached to said ground flange and extending away from said internal surface of said ground flange, said mounting flange having a free edge spaced from said ground flange;
- said mounting flange having a plurality of notches therein extending from said free edge towards said ground flange, each of said notches having a pair of elongated edges extending from said free edge towards said internal surface of said ground flange defining a notch gap therebetween and an arcuate portion having an arcuate edge extending between and connecting said elongated edges, said elongated edges tapering outwardly from said arcuate portion towards said free edge of said mounting flange.
