Patent number: 8615957Abstract: A light-weight metal stud and method to produce a light-weight metal stud may include forming a pair of channel members each having a respective major face having a respective first edge. Each member includes first and second flanges extending along the respective major face. A wire matrix includes a pair of wires each having apexes alternatively physically attached to the pair of channel members. The wire matrix forms longitudinal passages to support utility lines and position the lines away from the pair of channel members. The apexes are secured to flanges of the pair of channel members to strengthen the stud and reduce weight.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Sacks Industrial CorporationInventors: Abraham Sacks, William Spilchen, Jeffrey Sacks

Patent number: 7287356Abstract: A welded wire lathing material for mounting stucco plaster and the like onto a building frame. This lathing material comprises intersecting transverse and primary longitudinal strands substantially located in a first plane. It also comprises secondary longitudinal strands also substantially placed in first plane and closely spaced with, some of primary longitudinal strands, thus forming longitudinal slots located at predetermined spaced intervals extending across the lathing material. The slots are wider than the shaft, but narrower than the head, of fasteners predetermined for attaching the lath to building frames. The longitudinal and transverse strands are welded together where they intersect to form a rectangular mesh approximately located in the first plane.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2003Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Sacks Industrial Corp.Inventors: Abraham Sacks, Jeffrey L Sacks, William Spilchen, Narcis Rugina, Harold R.

Publication number: 20070175145Abstract: A rigid wire lath product having a backing material which may be used to reinforce coatings, such as stucco, applied to building surfaces. The product comprises a mesh of longitudinal wires and transverse wires having a plurality of spaced indentations. A layer of backing material having apertures which straddle the indentations is interwoven in the mesh by longitudinal retaining wires extending along the bottom of the indentations. A method of manufacturing the product by providing a mesh of longitudinal and transverse wires welded together at their intersections substantially in a plane, and forming rows of spaced indentations in the transverse wires. A planar material is overlaid on the mesh such that said portions of the indentations protrude through apertures in the material. A plurality of wires are welded along respective rows of the protruding indentations to sandwich the material between the mesh and the wires.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2007Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventors: Abraham Sacks, Jeffrey Sacks, Harold Davis, William Spilchen

Publication number: 20070119715Abstract: Corrosion resistance is achieved for fabricated wire products such as welded or woven stucco mesh, by fabricating the products from pre-galvanized strands of wire, followed by a post-fabrication chromate treatment. In the preferred embodiment, the strands are pre-galvanized by a first hot galvanization step followed by applying a thin electro-galvanization layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2007Publication date: May 31, 2007Inventors: Abraham Sacks, Jeffrey Sacks, Harold Davis, William Spilchen

Publication number: 20050055953Abstract: A self-furring wire lath comprises a mesh of transverse and longitudinal wires welded at their intersections. Stiffening trusses are formed by bent sections in the transverse wires and longitudinal wires attached to the shoulders of the bent sections. A barrier layer material is retained in the lath between the apex of the bent sections and the principal plane of the lath mesh. The barrier layer material has apertures that coincide with the intersections only at the bent sections to enable mesh size reduction without compromising the barrier layer but still allow the fabrication of the lath. The lath provides good embedment in the stucco, reduces cracking and wastage of stucco while remaining easy to work with.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2004Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Abraham Sacks, Jeffrey Sacks, William Spilchen, Narcis Rugina, Harold Davis

Patent number: 6820387Abstract: A self-furring wire lath has stiffening trusses. In a preferred embodiment the lath comprises a grid of intersecting transverse and longitudinal wires welded at their intersections. Stiffening trusses are formed at bent sections in the transverse wires by first longitudinal wires affixed at the shoulders of the bent sections and second longitudinal wires affixed on the bent sections. A barrier layer is disposed between the first and second longitudinal wires. A building paper backing may be affixed to the barrier layer. The lath reduces cracking and wastage of stucco while remaining easy to work with.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2001Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Inventors: Abraham Sacks, Jeffrey L. Sacks, William Spilchen, Narcis Rugina, Harold R. Davis

Patent number: 6668501Abstract: A shear wall system comprises stucco fasteners consisting of an elongated first portion that is driven into a wood frame wall, and an elongated second portion that is completely embedded in a stucco wall panel. In one embodiment, the fasteners consist of an assembly having a first element that is driven into the wood frame wall, and a second annular element receiving a portion of the first element and that is embedded rigidly into the cement stucco wall. Ductile movement of the fastener components with respect to wood frame wall and the stucco wall provides energy dissipation.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Sacks Industrial Corp.Inventors: Perry Adebar, Harold R. Davis, William Spilchen, Abraham Sacks

Patent number: 6305432Abstract: The invention relates to metal wire mesh having a plurality of longitudinal wires and a plurality of transverse wires. The longitudinal wires of the mesh are provided with shaped areas wherein the moment of inertia of said shaped areas about the neutral axis parallel to the plane of the mesh is 90 percent or less of the moment of inertia of said shaped areas about the neutral axis vertical to the plane of the mesh. This substantially reduces the problem of curvature set when metal wire mesh is rolled for packaging or transport and attempts are made to unroll prior to use.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2000Date of Patent: October 23, 2001Assignee: Sacks Industrial Corp.Inventors: Abraham Sacks, Jeffrey L.
