Abstract

441,145. Walls. BURGESS, G. N., Cawdor, York Road, Selsdon, South Croydon. July 16, 1934, No. 20833. [Class 20 (iv)] A concrete building structure is formed with the whole wall, or the spaced columns thereof, and also the wall plates, lintels, sills or like horizontal members of the wall, constructed from skeletons of expanded metal or woven wire, which are in the form of closed or partlyclosed figures of the shape of the wall, or columns, and of the horizontal members, and are strong enough to hold concrete which is subsequently filled in to the skeletons. The spaced columns of a wall may be formed of skeletons having the shape shown in crosssection in Fig. 1, and provided, if desired, with ties 3. The skeletons for the horizontal members may be shaped as shown in Fig. 4, a reinforcing rod 5 being supported underneath the skeleton by ties 7. The sides 6 of the skeleton may have lips 8, in which a reinforcing wire or bar is inserted. Columns 9 and horizontal members 10 may be connected together to form a wall, as shown in Fig. 6, and the spaces between the members may be filled with brick or concrete, or covered with wallboard or with expanded metal which is adapted to be cementrendered. To form the whole wall of the skeleton members, the latter are folded, as shown in Fig. 8, to form a plurality of abutting prismatic figures 11, on which the skeleton wall plate is mounted: The corners of adjacent figures 11 are tied together and a concrete filling provided.
