A wooden structural member for use as a stud in the wall of a building is formed from two strips of wood separated simply by elongate pins at right angles to the length of the strips. Each pin has pointed ends which are punctured into the wood of the strips to provide a frictional engagement therewith. After formation of the structural element it is, formed into the wall of a building and services can be threaded through the space between the strips following which insulation material is applied between each stud and the next and in between the strips thus increasing the insulation value of the wall, reducing the amount of lumber required and simplifying construction.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 30, 1992 and granted August 21, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 30, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 30, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
