METAL FACING FOR BRICKS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented oct. 17, ran.
Application'filed December 6, 1910. Serial No. 595,875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LowRY SExroN, a citizen of the United States, residing at The Dalles, in the county 'of Wasco and State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Improvements in Metal F acings for Bricks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a metallic facing for bricks, building blocks and the like, the the object of the invention being to provide an ornamental metallic face for building blocks or bricks which may be slipped over the exposed side edge or end of the brick and held in position by the mortar between the surfaces of adjoining bricks.
A further object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and durable metallic facing which is adapted to be firmly bound in place by the mortar and provides for the effective overlapping of the adjacent ends of the f'acings at the corners and the passage of the mortar between the surfaces of the bricks at points adjacent the abutting ends of the facing.
The invention consists of the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Fi ure 1 is a perspective view of a section of brickwork, showing the application of the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through adjacent bricks, one of which is provided with my improved metallic facing. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detached brick embodying the invention. Fig. 4 is a front perspective view of a metallic facing construction in accordance with the invention. Fig. 5 is a rear perspective view of the same. F1gs. 6 and 7 are, respectively, longitudinal and transverse sections through the facin I Referring to the drawings, 1 designates my improved metallic facing which, is of oblong rectangular form and provided with a body portion 2 coextensive in superficial area with the side edge or end of the brick or block to which it is to be applied. The
, mental surface may be of any preferred kind, but in the present instance I have illustrated the body portion as formed with an ornamental central panel 3 bounded by an oblong rectangular ofiset portion or moldling 4 extending completely around the pane Projecting from the longitudinal edges of the body are retainingflanges 5, whichmre connected with the adjacent sides of the molding by bearing surfaces 6. The front 1 is designed in practice to bear against the exposed side or under edge of the brick or block, while the flanges 5 will be over the top and bottom surfaces thereof. Each flange has its free edge bent at right angles to form a longitudinal retaining lip 7, and is provided with mortar openings or passages 8 and obliquely cut away end edges 9.
The end portions of the facing are formed with rearwardly bent ribs 10 connected with the adjacent end portions of the molding 4 by bearing surfaces 11, the surfaces 10 cooperating wlth the surfaces. 6 in bearing against the exposed face of the block to support the facing firmly in place, while the edges 11 project against the adjacent end edges of the block to form anornamental finish atsuch edges and to project between such faces and the adjoining bricks to produce closed joints.
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings illustrate the mode of use of the improved facing, from which it will be seen that the facing is applied to the desired brick in such manner'as to cover the outer surface thereof, the flanges 5 extending between the upper and lower surfaces of said brick and the adjacent faces of the adjoining bricks and forming an interlocking connection. The edges 7 of the flanges are embedded in the mortar 12 between the bricks, and the mortar also extends through the passages 8, thus firmly connecting the bricks and at the same time locking the facing in position. The edges 10 also bear against the end edges of the bricks and extend far back enough to conceal the joints between the surfaces and to provide a neat finish.
By reference to Fig. 1, it will be seen that the facings may be of proper size for application to long and short bricks, as well as to the side and end faces of bricks arranged at the corners of the brickwork, the oblique end edges 9 permitting the ends of the facings to overla or come closely together to permit the ad acent facings to be properly arranged and secured in position. The obliquearrangement of the ends of the flanges also provides for the formation of V-shaped spaces between the ends of the flanges of adjacent facings, through which spaces the mortar may extend to connect the superposed bricks and lock the facings together.
Having thus described the invention, I claim A facing for bricks or blocks comprising a body stamped up from sheet metal, said facing comprising an ornamental central portion, a marginal bearing surface surrounding said central portion and from which the latter is offset, flanges at the ends of the marginal portion, and flanges at the sides of the marginal portion of greater 15 LOWRY SEXTON.
