Description
t'~4L
Building components, especial~ for wall construction, and bricks which are semi-finished means for manufacturing the same The invention relates to the manufacture of brick walls and the like, especially in the form of prefabricated components or panels, with or without insulation, and in which the layer or layers of briclc can be of small thick-ness.
Brick is a material which is especially durable and has a number of advantages, sl~ch as hiyh resistance to moisture and frèezing, dcnsity, color fastness -to light, good appearance, especially with age, etc~ Although a brick wall has unequaled advantages, the high costs of building on site and the appearance of modern competitive insula-ting materials such as fiberglass and mineral-wool mats have resulted in a sharp decrease in the use of masonry brick walls.
The purpose of the invention was to achieve a brick wall which would meet the re~uirements of prefabrication or the like and good insulation, combined with the known advantages of brick walls.
An initial problem which arises is that one must be able to make thinner bricks. More specifically, it is very difficult to manufacture bricks in the form of thin plates, ~5 since under normal drying and firing conditions they tend to warp .So, even if it is possible in principle to manufacture ~ ,, '7'~
such bricks, the percentage oE discards for defects is unaccept-ably high.
In making prefabricated or movable panels of masonry brick, a second problem presents itself, namely the tensile strength of both the bricks and the masonry joints is insufficient.
A prefabricated panel or other component must be capable of being transported long distances, be lifted into place and anchored etc., and therefore it requires greater strength than that required in a wall which is built up in place. Not even in walls which are built in place with thin bricks can this problem be considered as solved in a way which fulfills those strength requirements which are desirable.
Therefore, it is desirable in walls comprising thin bricks to be able to increase the tensile strength by laying in reinforcement~
The invention provides a brick for use in manufacturing a building component which on at least one outer side has the appearance of an array of bricks interconnected by mortar joints, said brick having outer dimensions that orm a parallelepiped, and having wide long sides between which is a preformed slot, extending along the longitudinal axis of the brick and penetrating through the brick, said brick including two transverse slots, stemming from the first-mentioned slot and extending from the longitudinal axis of the brick approximately half-way towards the respective long side of the brick, whereby the brick can be split along the longi-tudinal slot to make split bricks for use in the building component, the transverse slots remaining in the brick sections after split-ting being adapted to receive reinforcement means in the form of wires ox rods.
The effect of this is especially advantageous if the transverse slots intended for the reinforcement rods are sufficient-ly deep so that the rods will be at or near the middle of the bricks and thus near the neutral axis of the panel made of brick and mortar. A greatly increased tensile strength in one direction is the result. If one wishes to achieve a corresponding effect in a direction perpendicular thereto, reinforcement ~an also be laid into the hori20ntal joints which are perpendicular to the reinforce-ment rods, either by laying down a metal net or the like or by using fiber-mixed mortar.
Splitting of bricks has been known for a long time. To facilitate splitting, fractural indications of different types have been made as the bricks are manufactured, such as grooves on the outside of the brick or channels on the inside. Examples of this are given in Swedish Patent Specification 34 808, C. J. Gustafsson, January, 1910, German Patent Specification 808 379, Boger & Co., 12 July, 1951r Swedish Patent Specification 171 603, AB Bygg-Zata, -2a-June, 1960, Danish Patent Specification 50 163 Tegelbruks AB Walla-Katrineholm, 23 April, 1935, and Ge-rman Patent Specification 622 414, Schroder, Nov., 1935.
In many of these cases the fractural indications are combined with, or alternatively can function as, holes for reducing weight and increasing insulating capacity.
It is also known to arrange brick walls with reinforcing rods, as described in Sandberg Norwegian Patent Specification 36 509, Jan., 1923.
As disclosed in this patent specification, reinforcing rods are placed in projections ;n each brick. These T-shaped bricks thus have a shape which makes them difficult to fire, as well as stack, transport and handle. The shape shown and described should not lead the person skilled in the art to the idea that the bricks for reinforced masonry walls should be made by splitting, after firing, of bricks which are better suited to firing.
An especially advantageous application of the invention presents itself if the prefabrication of sections is organized in such a way that reinforcement wires are arranged with suitable spacing so as to resemble the warp in a woven fabric. In place of the warp we have the rows of bricks made according to the principles of the invention and possibly reinforcements laid in the horizontal joints, which can be of wire, net or even fibers in the mortar. This provides satisfactory tensile strength in two orthogonal directions.
The bricks used for implementing the invention are first made in the form of whole bricks with essentially parallel-epipedic exterior shape. In the same manner as clay is injected moulded to produce so-called hollow brick, at least one slot opening is arranged along the longitudinal axis of the parallel-epiped, with at least two cross slots branching off therefrom, which extend from said first-mentioned slot outwards in either direction, essentially half-way to each side surface. The brick is then quite easily split, into two halves for

The bricks used for implementing the invention are first made in the form of whole bricks with essentially parallel-epipedic exterior shape. In the same manner as clay is injected moulded to produce so-called hollow brick, at least one slot opening is arranged along the longitudinal axis of the parallel-epiped, with at least two cross slots branching off therefrom, which extend from said first-mentioned slot outwards in either direction, essentially half-way to each side surface. The brick is then quite easily split, into two halves for
2~
example, and the cross slots can hold ~he reinforcement which is already in place.
As is evident from the embodiments described below, it is possibl0 to split the present brick and obtain otller 3a-~2~3'~
shapes~ allowing one half to remain together with a portion of the other half. The complete system, which is suitably based on the new module dimension of 10 cm and multiples thereof, can preferably also include one or more auxiliary ~shapes in addition to a normal brick, from which the ma]or proportion~of ~ricks are made by splitting. Certain of the brick types obtained by splitting are also sui-table for making corners.
Although the splitting of the bricks can be done as usual by hand, it i5 more efficient to do it by machine, using a devlce operating on the same well-known principle as a log splitter.
Although the invention was made primarily to solve the problem of ~aking flat wall panels for building construc-tion, it is easy to see that it can be used in manydifferent ways. For example, the intended wall can be used in a chimney construction. The invention can be of great practical value in other masonry applications, suc~ as brick Eurnace lining for metallurgical uses etc. where the low tensile strength of ordinary brick lining is a disadvantage.

a rnaterial which can withstalld the intended ~eml~erature and still haye an appropriate coefficient of expansion, or -that the re;nforcement must be placed so that it is securely protected from heat.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a pair of examples which are shown in the figures.
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a whole brick, in principle corresponding to a three-module normaL brick in the system.
Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a brick in an auxiliary shape with a two-module lenyth.
Figs, 3 A-G shows examples of bricks obtained by splittingO
Fig. 4 shows an example of a façade section as seen from the front.
Fig. 5 shows three courses in the sec-tion in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 shows a brick course in a square chimney built according to the principles o~ the invention.
The brick shown in Fig. 1 is provided with two longitudinal slots 1, from which cross or branch slots 2 extend half-way to the long sides. In addition to these cross-shaped configurations there are holes 3 of conventional type in the brick arranged along the length of the brick.
These holes 3 have no connection with the invention. They are designed to improve the insulating properties of the brick, reduce weight and also facilitate drying and firing of the brick during manufacture This brick has a length of three modules with the assumed module length of 10 cm.
The brick shown in Fig. 2 is similar to that in E`ig. 1 bu~ has a shorter length. This brick has an auxiliary shape from which bricks with essentially 2/3 of the ordinary length can be split. tIt is known that a three-module brick must be one joint width shorter than thx-ee module lengths and a two-module brick one joint width shorter than ~ 20 two modules.) ~ ricks are now manufactured, as the per~on skilled in the art knows, almost exclusively ~y e~tl`ud` ~ clay through a suitabLy shaped die, and cutting off the clay column into bricks, which are then dried and fire~l. To~obtain bricks like those shown in Figs. 1 and 2 th~ die opening is provided with portions corresponding to the cross-shaped configura-tions .
It should be noted that it is also possible to use bricks without the holes 3 or with corresponding holcs of another shape and/or configuration. The essential ~e~ r-es are, ~irstly, that there are slots corresponding L~ Lhe slots 1, to facilitate splitting, and secondly, slots 2 which are suited for holding reinforcement. It is intended that conceivable modifications, which are large in number, shall be encompassed by the invention. For example, it is conceivable to have yrooves or slots to Eacilitate splitting on the outside of the brick as well tnot shown)~
Figs. 3A-G show several different forms of bricksy which can be split from the bricks shown in Figs. 1 and 2, with whole top views being shown in Figs. 3A and 3D. The points labelled 5 are the points where reinforcement can be placed S ~ith advantage.
Figs. 4~and 5 illustrate how a thin, reinforced component can be built with the aid of bricks as shown in Fig. 3A and a few smaller sized bricks. The reinforcement rods S can be fixed at the ends of the wall in a suitable manner, e.g. bending them over the bottom and top courses, if they are not to be used for anchorlng or transporting the panel.
Another example of a use for the invention is a square chimney, of which one course is shown in Fig~ 6. In such a chimney, starting from the inside, there is a refractory brick lining 60, which can be made of whole bricks according to the invention, an insulating layer 61 filled with in-sulating agent, and a surrounding casing in the form of a brick shell 62. ~y virtue of the fact that the outer shell is made according to the invention~, it is reinforced so that it can absorb tensile forces wllich-or~lnary m~sonry shells cannot. In the present construction Ll~e bricks in the outer shell are provided with inwardly directed projections with essentially the same thickness as the Lnsulation layer, but these projections are not mortared to the interior lining, so that said lining can move in relation to the outer shell, e.g. through expansion when the chimney is heated by flue gases. The projections on the bricks prevent the insulating layer 61 from being reduced in thickness by stresses or otherwise. With the construction according to the invention, where the brickwork is able to absorb tensile stresses, the cross section of the chimney can be reduced appreciably while retaining its strèngth against wind forces, for example. It should be noted that only the surrounding shell 62 contains reinforcement rods (S), which are insula~ed against heating from flue gases by the inner refractory brick lining 60 (completely free of reinforcement rods) and by the insulating layer 61.
;37~'l The person skilled in the art will understand that the - bricks in the inner lining can be made withou~ ~he cross-shaped slots 2 (Figs. l and 2) but that the longitudinal slots 1 according to the invention are advantageous with `~ respect to insulation.
The placement of the reinforcement rods (S) shown in Fig. 6 is only one example~ especially applicable to chimneys. There is nothing to prevent placing additional reinEorcement rods in the cross-shaped slots in the shell 62, especially when making flat or cornerea wall co~ponents with intermediate insulating material, as the invention intends.
The chimney example also shows how bricks split in various ways can be used to make a re`inforced brick structure with corners. The person skilled in the art will be able to calculate how the subse~uent courses should be laid for brickwork of different types, which, as seen from the outside, can look exactly like ordinary brickwork~ Although in the chimney example the outer wall is not cemented to the inner wall, it is clear that the same construction with projections in spaces bridged by bricks, can be used to cement together two bxick shells on either sidR of an insulating material, e.g. roc~wool.
The variations of the possible applications of the invention are practically unlimited/ and it is clearly within the capacity of the person skilled in the art, with the aid of the above description of a pair of illustrative examples, to solve various building problems and the like by combining split bricks via the slo-ts using a reinforcemenk means suited to the conditions. The arrangement of the manufacture of buildiny components between brickworks~
prefabrication plants and building sites is also considered to be a question of suitablility determined by local and o;tller conditions

Fig. 5 shows three courses in the sec-tion in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 shows a brick course in a square chimney built according to the principles o~ the invention.
The brick shown in Fig. 1 is provided with two longitudinal slots 1, from which cross or branch slots 2 extend half-way to the long sides. In addition to these cross-shaped configurations there are holes 3 of conventional type in the brick arranged along the length of the brick.
These holes 3 have no connection with the invention. They are designed to improve the insulating properties of the brick, reduce weight and also facilitate drying and firing of the brick during manufacture This brick has a length of three modules with the assumed module length of 10 cm.

Another example of a use for the invention is a square chimney, of which one course is shown in Fig~ 6. In such a chimney, starting from the inside, there is a refractory brick lining 60, which can be made of whole bricks according to the invention, an insulating layer 61 filled with in-sulating agent, and a surrounding casing in the form of a brick shell 62. ~y virtue of the fact that the outer shell is made according to the invention~, it is reinforced so that it can absorb tensile forces wllich-or~lnary m~sonry shells cannot. In the present construction Ll~e bricks in the outer shell are provided with inwardly directed projections with essentially the same thickness as the Lnsulation layer, but these projections are not mortared to the interior lining, so that said lining can move in relation to the outer shell, e.g. through expansion when the chimney is heated by flue gases. The projections on the bricks prevent the insulating layer 61 from being reduced in thickness by stresses or otherwise. With the construction according to the invention, where the brickwork is able to absorb tensile stresses, the cross section of the chimney can be reduced appreciably while retaining its strèngth against wind forces, for example. It should be noted that only the surrounding shell 62 contains reinforcement rods (S), which are insula~ed against heating from flue gases by the inner refractory brick lining 60 (completely free of reinforcement rods) and by the insulating layer 61.
;37~'l The person skilled in the art will understand that the - bricks in the inner lining can be made withou~ ~he cross-shaped slots 2 (Figs. l and 2) but that the longitudinal slots 1 according to the invention are advantageous with `~ respect to insulation.
The placement of the reinforcement rods (S) shown in Fig. 6 is only one example~ especially applicable to chimneys. There is nothing to prevent placing additional reinEorcement rods in the cross-shaped slots in the shell 62, especially when making flat or cornerea wall co~ponents with intermediate insulating material, as the invention intends.
The chimney example also shows how bricks split in various ways can be used to make a re`inforced brick structure with corners.
