20080216425 | Drywall Apparatus and Method - Described herein is a drywall apparatus for constructing planar partitions and corners. The drywall apparatus includes a first drywall panel, a second drywall panel and a pliable hinge connecting the first drywall panel to the second drywall panel. The hinge allows the first drywall panel and the second drywall panel to assume a range of angles therebetween to thereby enable the apparatus to be used for constructing planar partitions and corners. A flap extending from an edge of the drywall panel can also be included. The flap is designed to overlap a surface of an adjacent drywall panel abutted against the edge of the drywall panel and designed to affix the panel to a stud or other supporting member. | 09-11-2008 |

20100218444 | Expandable Drywall Corner Piece - A drywall corner piece with flange surfaces forming a near right angle forming a cup for fitting over drywall corners where the web sections of the flanges have at least one strain relief channel allowing the piece to flex to different angles. | 09-02-2010 |
20100218445 | Boxable Mesh Adhesive Drywall Corner Trim - A boxable drywall corner trim including an elongated semi-rigid member that forms a pair of flanges joined at a grooved hinge along a centerline. Each of the flanges can have a thinner part and a thicker part joined at a step that is approximately parallel to the centerline a predetermined distance from the centerline. The thicker part of the flanges can form a protruding nose member that makes the piece boxable by preventing the cross-over of wet drywall mastic or mud from one flange to the other. The thinner portion of the flange may optionally be perforated with a pattern of punched holes of any configuration throughout the flange assembly. The piece can have a wall-facing paper or other fibrous layer of material that has a tacky adhesive on its wall-facing side. The adhesive can be in a pattern of dots, ridges, lines or any other pattern, or the adhesive can be continuously coated on the surface. A layer of mesh can be trapped between the semi-rigid member and the outer paper layer, the mesh may or may not optionally penetrate into the plastic or other material of the semi-rigid member. When the entire piece is hot extruded, the mesh normally penetrates the plastic. | 09-02-2010 |
20110030297 | CORNERBEAD STRUCTURE - A cornerbead for installation at a drywall outside corner includes a substrate forming a nose and first and second elongated flanges. Each flange has an inner edge and an opposing outer edge and joins an opposing side of the nose at the flange's respective inner edge. The outer edge of each flange is uneven. | 02-10-2011 |
20110289873 | Drywall Finishing System - A drywall finishing system for finishing 1) normal inside and outside corners of any angle, 2) stub wall or closet corners, 3) window wrap corners, and 4) L-metal for window sills and areas where drywall ends against some other surface like brick. The finishing system comprises a preformed trim piece comprising a semi-rigid member that is relatively thick in the center and tapers laterally to a thin edge. A layer of paper is bonded to the inside surface of the semi-rigid member for receiving joint compound to continuously bond the trim piece to the dry wall; this paper layer can optionally have a layer of adhesive material on its outer surface. A layer of finishing material is bonded to the exterior surface of the semi-rigid member. | 12-01-2011 |
20120110936 | TRIM BEAD AND STUCCO SYSTEM INCLUDING SAME - A trim bead for a building wall incorporates an outwardly extending flange portion to provide a mechanical key for a layer of exterior finishing coatings, such as stucco coatings. The trim bead may be used in stucco systems for exterior building walls that employ continuous thermal insulation over the building wall substrate. | 05-10-2012 |
20120174509 | WALL BEAD - A wall bead | 07-12-2012 |
20130186024 | FIBER COMPOSITE CORNER BEAD - A preformed corner bead for use in wallboard construction is provided and includes an elongate strip formed of a web of at least one layer of non-woven fabric, a resin impregnating the strip. The impregnated strip is formed into a desired angle defined by a pair of flanges prior to a curing of the resin. | 07-25-2013 |
20130205696 | Trim Bead and Stucco System Including Same - A trim bead for a building wall incorporates an outwardly extending flange portion to provide a mechanical key for a layer of exterior finishing coatings, such as stucco coatings. The trim bead may be used in stucco systems for exterior building walls that employ continuous thermal insulation over the building wall substrate. | 08-15-2013 |
