Wall stud and frame system

摘要

A metal stud (4) used with a timber top plate (2) and timber bottom plate (3) to form a composite wall frame (1). The studs (4) are in the form of a channel having two free end side walls (14) and (15) with a projection (11) extending normal to the base (12) of the channel. Affixing means (16 or 17) are associated with the free ends (14 and 15) for affixing the studs (4) to the timber top plate (2) and bottom plate (3), which abut against the respective projections (11).
