ABSTRACT:
This invention is concerned with a device for eliminating seams at the butt joints caused by the installation of contiguous wall boards in building construction.
A bracket, having means for fastening to the studs, has a slightly recessed surface. The butting edges of the wall boards that are fastened to the studs are screwed down tightly on the recessed surface of the bracket. The wall boards, being somewhat flexible, form a concave outer surface slightly below the plane of the wallboard surface that is mounted on the stud. The concave area is taped and then filled with a selected filling material or a joint compound, bringing the new surface formed thereby back to the original plane of the wallboard. The bracket is permanently secured by the wallboard so there will be no movements, and the filling and taping procedure completely conceal the joint lines, so that the wallboard can be painted or wallpapered and will appear as one continuous surface.
