Abstract

A drywall-joint fixture has a drywall-joint cover (1, 33, 37, 42) that can be attached to a drywall arch, wall flat or other drywall structure after a first sheet (3) and a second sheet (4) of drywall of the drywall joint are positioned on wall framework (5, 35, 39) of a building. A paper face (49) that is resistant to sanding is positioned on the drywall-joint cover. The drywall-joint cover includes a first side (6), a second side (7) and an attachment flange (8). The attachment flange is extended orthogonally from an inside surface of either the first side or the second side and is longer than a side opposite from which it is extended for receiving fastener shanks (12) that are stuck through sheets and into a wall framework. A selection of shapes are provided for differing wall structures. A method includes using the attachment flange to maintain the drywall-joint cover in place.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to structure of drywall joints for corner beads, arches, edges, flats and other drywall applications after the drywall has been positioned. [0002] Drywall cornering, beads and joints are a common feature of construction of private and many commercial dwellings and business structures. Numerous devices and methods for joining drywall at corners, arches windows and flats are known, but continue to be devised because none have proved sufficiently adequate to satisfy needs of this feature of construction. Included have been freehand plastering and many differing rigid corner beads, paste-on beads, tack-on beads and combinations thereof. [0003] None, however, have post-positioning corner beads and joints for all drywall applications in a manner taught by this invention. [0004] Listed below for consideration is known related but different prior art: US Patent / Publication No.:InventorIssue / Publication Date6,447,872LarsonSept. 10, 2...
