Abstract:
1. An adjustable head-of-wall insulating construction for sealing a head-of-wall area between a ceiling thereabove and a wall configuration therebelow which is wider than standard and which includes a ceiling track having a main track section which extends generally horizontally and a first track side section extending downwardly therefrom and a second side track section extend downwardly therefrom at a position spatially disposed from the first track section wherein the main track section includes a first track side section defining a first lowermost edge thereof and a second side track section defining a second lowermost edge thereof, said insulating gasket construction comprising: A. an L-shaped gasket section including: (1) a gasket upper panel of insulating material positioned immediately above the main track section of the ceiling track and extending generally horizontally thereover; and (2) a gasket side panel of insulating material attached with respect to said gasket upper panel and extending generally downwardly therefrom across the first track side section for insulating thereover, said gasket side panel extending downwardly from said gasket upper panel to define the generally L-shape configuration of the L-shaped gasket section, said gasket upper panel and said gasket side panel together defining a track receiving recess facing downwardly therebelow; and B. a panel adhesive means mounted on said gasket upper panel at a position between said gasket upper panel and the main track section at a position immediately therebelow to facilitate engagement between said gasket upper panel of said L-shaped gasket section and the main track section of the ceiling track; wherein the first track side section includes a first lower edge therealong and wherein said gasket side panel includes at least one attachment side tab extending inwardly into said track receiving recess at a position beneath the first track side section for engagement therewith to facilitate retaining of said L-shaped gasket section adjacent the main track section.
