Abstract
A wall fixture positionable between interior and exterior walls of a structure and including a first member having a flange extending from a web, the flange including mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along the interior wall and a second member having a flange extending from a web. The second member can be adjustably securable to the first member such that a distance between exterior sides of the flanges is variable. The flange of the second member can include mounting locations spaced along the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along the exterior wall. The web of one of the first and second members can define apertures sized to receive at least one of plumbing, conduit and wires.
Claims20
A wall fixture positionable between an interior wall and an exterior wall of a structure, the interior wall being positionable substantially parallel to and spaced a distance from the exterior wall, each of the interior and exterior walls extending between a floor and a ceiling of the structure, the wall fixture comprising:
- a web defining a plurality of apertures extending through the web between opposite sides of the web and sized to receive at least one of plumbing, conduit, and wires;
- a first flange extending outwardly from a first end of the web and being engageable with one of the interior wall and the exterior wall, the first flange including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the first flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of the one of the interior wall and the exterior wall;
- a second flange extending from a second end of the web opposite the first end of the web and being engageable with another of the interior wall and the exterior wall, the second flange being pivotally connected to the web for movement relative to the web between a first orientation, in which the second flange is substantially parallel to the web, and a second orientation, in which the second flange is non-parallel to the web, the second flange including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the second flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of the other of the interior wall and the exterior wall;
- and
- a latch positioned on one of the web and the second flange and being engageable with another of the web and the second flange to secure the second flange in the second orientation.
A wall fixture positionable between an interior wall and an exterior wall of a structure, the interior wall being spaced a distance from the exterior wall, each of the interior and exterior walls extending between a floor and a ceiling of the structure, the wall fixture comprising:
- a first member having a flange extending from a web, the flange including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of one of the interior wall and the exterior wall;
- a second member having a flange extending from a web, the second member adjustably securable to the first member such that a distance between exterior sides of the flanges is variable, the flange of the second member including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of an other of the interior wall and the exterior wall, the web of one of the first member and the second member defining a plurality of apertures extending through the web between opposite sides of the web and sized to receive at least one of plumbing, conduit and wires;
- and
- a stop positioned on one of the first member and the second member to limit relative movement between the first and second members and to prevent movement of an other of the first member and the second member across the plurality of apertures,
- wherein the web of the first member includes a channel having a plurality of indentations spaced along a length of the channel, and wherein the web of the second member includes a plurality of protrusions spaced along a length of the web, the web of the second member being insertable into the channel of the first member in a direction substantially parallel to the length of the web of the second member such that the protrusions engage the indentations to adjustably secure the first member to the second member and vary the distance between the flanges.
A wall fixture positionable between an interior wall and an exterior wall of a structure, the interior wall being spaced a distance from the exterior wall, each of the interior and exterior walls extending between a floor and a ceiling of the structure, the wall fixture comprising:
- a first member having a flange extending from a web, the flange including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of one of the interior wall and the exterior wall;
- a second member having a flange extending from a web, the second member adjustably securable to the first member such that a distance between exterior sides of the flanges is variable, the flange of the second member including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of an other of the interior wall and the exterior wall, the web of one of the first member and the second member defining a plurality of apertures extending through the web between opposite sides of the web and sized to receive at least one of plumbing, conduit and wires;
- and
- a stop positioned on one of the first member and the second member to limit relative movement between the first and second members and to prevent movement of an other of the first member and the second member across the plurality of apertures,
- wherein the web of the first member includes a plurality of protrusions spaced along a length of the web, and wherein the web of the second member includes a plurality of protrusions spaced along a length of the web, the web of the second member being moveable along the web of the first member in a direction substantially parallel to the length of the web of the second member such that the protrusions of the first member engage the protrusions of the second member to adjustably secure the first member to the second member and vary the distance between the flanges.
A wall fixture positionable between an interior wall and an exterior wall of a structure, the interior wall being spaced a distance from the exterior wall, each of the interior and exterior walls extending between a floor and a ceiling of the structure, the wall fixture comprising:
- a first member having a flange extending from a web, the flange including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of one of the interior wall and the exterior wall;
- a second member having a flange extending from a web, the second member adjustably securable to the first member such that a distance between exterior sides of the flanges is variable, the flange of the second member including a plurality of mounting locations spaced along a length of the flange for supporting fasteners securable at a plurality of locations spaced along a height of another of the interior wall and the exterior wall, the web of one of the first member and the second member defining a plurality of apertures extending through the web between opposite sides of the web and sized to receive at least one of plumbing, conduit and wires;
- and
- a stop positioned on one of the first member and the second member to limit relative movement between the first and second members and to prevent movement of another of the first member and the second member across the plurality of apertures,
- wherein the web of the first member is removeably securable, without requiring the use of a tool or a separate fastener, to the web of the second member in a first position such that the flange of the first member is spaced a first distance from the web of the second member and in a second position such that the flange of the first member is spaced a second distance from the web of the second member, the second distance being different than the first distance.
