Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring to the drawings in detail, and initially to FIGS. 1-4 thereof, an arrangement 10 for easily framing lolly columns according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a first substantially U-shaped framing member 12 and a second substantially U-shaped framing member 14.

[0027]Framing member 12 is formed by a thin, plate-like center member 16 and two thin, plate-like legs 18 and 20 extending at right angles from the ends of the center member 16 and being in parallel, spaced apart relation. Center member 16 and legs 18 and 20 are coplanar and have a uniform thickness. The inner circumference formed by the inner facing walls of center member 16 and legs 18 and 20 defines a generally semi-circular wall 22 which staightens out toward the ends of the legs 18 and 20, while the outer circumference formed by the outer facing walls of center member 16 and legs 18 and 20 defines a generally square or rectangular shape.

[0028]In like manner, framing member 14 is forme...

Abstract

An arrangement for framing a lolly column, includes two U-shaped framing members adapted to be wrapped and secured tightly about a lolly column. Each framing member has a U-shaped profile and includes a center member, first and second legs in parallel, spaced apart relation, and a tab extending from an end of each leg in a direction transverse to a lengthwise direction of each leg. There are also four equi-angularly spaced wall members secured to outer surfaces of the framing members for securing elongated 4×4 inch wood framing members thereto such that the wood framing members extend in a direction parallel to the lolly column. Each wall member includes first and second walls forming an outwardly facing right angle therebetween and presenting outwardly facing planar surfaces to which an elongated wood framing member is adapted to be secured.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to lolly columns, and more particularly, is directed to an arrangement for easily framing lolly columns.[0002]Conventionally, large rooms, such as basements and the like, include at least one lolly column for structural support. A lolly column is typically a concrete filled steel pipe column used to support a girder or other beam. When refinishing a room containing lolly columns, it is conventional to frame the lolly columns, that is, to surround the lolly columns with spaced apart, suitable size framing member, such as 2×2 inch, 2×4 inch, 2×6 inch, 4×4 inch, etc. wood framing members that extend from the floor to the ceiling, with sheet rock, paneling, etc. nailed to the wood framing members in order to provide a decorative appearance. However, this framing procedure is generally a tedious and time-consuming job.[0003]Accordingly, various arrangements have been provided for aiding in the framing of lolly colum...
