Benefits of technology

The patent describes an adjustable stud that can be used to create temporary structures. The adjustable stud system is reliable, strong, and reusable. This invention solves the problems of previous devices and offers additional benefits for construction purposes.

Problems solved by technology

Regardless, erecting these temporary structures can add considerable cost and time to a construction project.
When done properly, installation of the temporary wall can require as much time and energy as construction of a permanent wall.
These systems are not designed to support the weight that would be required for a temporary support structure.
Adhering the plastic to the round pole is cumbersome and expensive when using additional material such as painter's tape.
Additionally, the pole system is somewhat expensive to have sufficient supports.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to embodiments illustrated.

[0035]Referring to FIGS. 1-11, there is illustrated several embodiments of an expandable bracket, generally designated by the numeral 10. Additional embodiments and related components are similarly designated with the addition of a 1, 2, 3, . . . etc. to distinguish between such embodiments. The bracket 10 can be designed for attachment to an end of a 2″×4″, 4″×4″, or 2″×6″ board, then the assembly is placed between two stationary surfaces, e.g., floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, and expanded. The assembly may be used both horizontally and vertically with equal success and is not li...

Abstract

An expandable stud bracket for attachment to a board for construction of a temporary structure of support is disclosed. An embodiment of the bracket includes a receiving portion for securing the bracket to a stud, an adjustable portion opposite the receiving portion and having an extendable rod, an engagement plate attached to an end of the rod and an anchor attached to an end of the rod opposite the engagement plate and for limiting extension of the rod from the bracket, and a locking mechanism attached to the rod for preventing retraction. Optionally, a tensioning mechanism, such as a Belleville washer may be used in a key location to “self-adjust” for shrinkage or tension loss. An embodiment of the disclosed bracket may be attached between two boards to permit better access to the locking mechanism. A reusable fastener is also disclosed.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 488,041 titled “Expandable Stud Bracket” and filed on Jun. 4, 2012. This application also claims the filing priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 960,004, filed Sep. 9, 2013, and titled “Options And Accessories To An Expandable Bracket For Temporary 2×4 Installation.” The entirety of the '004 provisional application is hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present device and system relate to building materials for erecting temporary walls. Particularly, the present device and system relate to an expandable bracket to facilitate construction of a temporary wall or work-space.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In the construction field, the need for installation of temporary walls and studs (vertical and horizontal) often arises. Some of these occurrences are expected and some unexpected. Regardless, erecting these temporary st...
