Patent

CA 2252284

Lintels having metal side plates are described. In an exemplary embodiment, a lintel constructed in accordance with the present invention includes a generally rectangular frame of a height, length and thickness substantially corresponding to the dimensions of the opening in which the lintelis to be installed. The frame is formed by connected, first and second elongate chord members (e.g., nominal "2xN" members) that extend in spaced, substantially parallel, overlying relationship to each other. The subject lintel also includes at least one generally rectangular, metal side plate having at least first and second spaced groupings of integrally formed teeth extending from one side along opposite longitudinal edges thereof. The respective teeth groupings engagethe first and second chords. The metal side plate member has a width intermediate of the height of the frame and the distance between the first and second chords, and is positioned so as to overlap portions of each of the coplanar side surfaces of the first and second chords on one side of the frame, while leaving sufficient space between its lower longitudinal edge and the bottom edgeof the frame to permit convenient fastener attachment of siding or other materials.
