Abstract

A stud device for wall constructions, comprising a web (1) and at least one pair of flanges (2, 3, 4, 5) arranged at the longitudinal edges (6, 7) of the web (1) and protruding from the same side of the web (1) substantially parallelly to one another. In order to reduce the number of studs and the amount of work when erecting a right-angled corner, for instance, either facing inwardly or outwardly in the wall, the stud has an angle (α) between the web (1) and the flanges (2, 4) at one of the longitudinal web edges (6) which, in such a right-angled corner, is 45°, and an angle (β) between the web (1) and the flanges (3, 5) at the opposite longitudinal web edge (7) which, in such a right-angled corner, is 135°.

Claims

1. A stud device for wall constructions, comprising a web (1) and at least one pair of flanges (2, 3, 4, 5) arranged at the longitudinal edges (6, 7) of the web (1) and protruding from the same side of the web (1) substantially parallelly to one another, wherein the angle (α

) arranged between the web (1) and the flange(s) (2, 4) at one of the longitudinal edges (6) of the web (1) is less than 90°

, and the angle (β

) arranged between the web (1) and the flange(s) (3, 5) at the opposite longitudinal edge (7) of the web (1) is more than 90°

.

2. A stud device according to claim 1, wherein the angle (α

) is 45°

at one of the longitudinal web edges (6), and the angle (β

) is 135°

at the opposite longitudinal web edge (7).

3. A stud device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the stud is provided with two pairs of flanges (2, 3, 4, 5) at the longitudinal web edges (6, 7), for use at a portion of the wall construction constituting a corner, or when the wall construction has a curved configuration.

4. A stud device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the stud is provided with one single pair of flanges (2, 3) at the longitudinal web edges (6, 7), for use at an end portion of the wall construction which, in an inclined manner, shall be attached to an adjacent construction.
