Application filed. January 25, 231.1. Serial 2T0. 864,523.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, lillcimnL ABAnNo, a
citizen of the l nitetl States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Brick-Heidi st, of, which the'folloiving is a lull, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a new and im proved device for holding; the brick securely in iilinenient and permitting; grounds or planking to be secured to the walls.
It has been found in practice quite clililcult to secure grounds for the molcl hoards,
or planking of any kind, to brick, block,
tile or other wall, such as that composed of hollow fii'c-prooi hriclrs, blocks, tiles, concrete or other huiltling elements. ll has also been found difficult to hold fur-ring of any suitable height, to brick, block, tile, concrete, or other impenetrable Walls.
An object, therefore, ot' this invention is to provide a hohlfast of a. simple and inexpensive structure. which can readily be inserted at suitable intervals between juxtaposed building elements anil'form a means for securing the bricks or other building members in alincmcnt, and also a soft foundation, into which nails or other fastening devices may he '5 iron, to supportgrounds, planking, or fuming, in position on the Walls.
A l r 'her object of this invention is to proviilma holtlfast or clamp, which can be adjusted to various sizes of bricks. in a Slil'k pic anti quick manner, anti which will have a suliicientlf. roughened exterior to permit the ltfilllCSlOI] oi. plaster therein, and the roughoning being of such a form that, it will not interrupt th passagenails into the hotly of the holclfasl, which preferably formed, of some soft material, such as WOOCl. These and further ohjeris, together with the construction anal combination of parts, will he more iully described hereinafter and particular, forth in the llfier-encc is to he llil-(l. to the ncco n ti ingg (ll'ttW .orming a part of issnec ication, in whicl similar characters oi reference indicate corresponding; ports views, and in Which-- Figure l is a Vi w e 1 the improved device use-L a "l s suitable means,
Zontal section on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective View of one 01 the hold building blocks; is an enlarged horia I lasts or clamps; Fig. 1 is a vertical section showing another use to which. the invention may he applied; Fig. 5 is a horizontal see lion on the line 55 of Fig. i; and Fig. 6
shows the invention as applied to a concrete Wall.
rate parts of my invention as embodied in the form shown in the drawings, 1 indicates the holclfast orv clamp, which includes a body portion 2, which may he of a ny suitable form and material, preferably a rectangular block of wood. The size of this block may be varied according to conditions, and also, if desired, the material. The material, however, must be of such a nature that a nail can be driven therein, to form a support for outside grounds, planking, or ihe like. lnthe claims, I have clesin'nafied this material by the term Wood, hut do not Wish to be limited Io Wood as such, but any equivalent inaterial which will yield to the driving; of a spike in a compressible manner and yet tcnaciously hold the spike, or like fastening" device. when once driven in.
On facing edges are preferably provided means for roughcnin; the surface thereof, such as a wire netting- S, which in this case is shown to he formed expanded metal suitablycorrugated to form sufiicient irregularity. so as lo holcl plaster, if it is desired to plaster the Wall which this invention is used.
For he purpose olfhouling the block in the place in which it is put, Whether between :1 pair of juxtaposed bricks or between fin-ring, between the horly of a concrete Wall, there are provided plates 4: and 5, which exi'entlwn the face of the walls in which the device is located, and are tied to IiCl'lOiLllQZ by means of suitable lies 6, Which may be in the form oi. plates having tongues "l, which e enil through slots 8 in th plates 4 anti 5. l4 8 n he held in "position on th hocly i through suitable openings 10 in the ties, into the horl of the block.
The plate anti. 5, Where they extend over the hotly horizon of block, may be pro-' rid is Sllloliblfii openings 11, through tion on the block. It is preferred. that the plates anilitongues be made of suitable malleable material, so that they can-be bent over by a slight blow, to conform to slight differences in thickness of the bricks or wall,
I due to slight inaccuracies in the making.
'lhe combination of a pair of plates and a pair of ties forms what is termed a bracket.
" clamp. It is preferred that a plurality of these clamps be provided for each block,-
preferably two, one located adjacent each: end of the block.
The utility of the device will be readily understood when taken in connection with the above description. In the case where the holdfast is used in connection with a terracotta or fireproof brick wall, as shown inFig. .1, a plurality of the holdfasts are inserted between adjacent bricks, both on the straight surface and where a curved surface is provided, as also illustrated in Fig. 1. The number of holdfasts inserted in the wall is immaterial, and they can be inserted atsuitable intervals and a sufficient number provided to hold the grounds, indicated at 12 in Fig. 1. It will readily be seen that these holdfasts lessen the amount of cement which is inserted to form. a strong wall, in that they tie the 'bricks together and prevent the wall from sagging. It will also be .seen that the grounds 12 may be readily secured in position by driving nails through the grounds and through the wooden body portion of the holdfasts. The holdfasts themselves will readily take the plaster, inasmuch as their exposed surfaces are roughened by the expanded metal.
In Figs..4= and 5, my device is shown as being used in connection. with a brick wall, for lholding the fireproof furring to the surface thereof. In this connection, the holdfasts-are secured to the brick wall at suitable spaced intervals, by driving spikes 13 I through the holdfasts and. between the bricks of the wall, The retaining strips 14 may be then attached to the holdfasts, to hold the furring, indicated at 15, in place.
In Fig. 6, my device is shown as applied to a concrete wall, wherein it w1ll be seen .that a plurality of these holdfasts may bev inserted at suitable intervals in the concrete Wall being laid, and when finished, these holdfasts will not only strengthen the wall at intervals, but will also form a base on 'which planking or other material may be nailed by driving spikes or nails therethrough.
' it will readily be seen that in all of these structures, even if pounding is done on one side' of the Wall, itwill not force the hold fasts, or any portion thereof, through the wall, so as to disturb material placed on the opposite side of the wall, as is usually the casein such devices as are now in'use.
', While I have shown one embodiment of my invention used in several different ways, I do n t wish to be limited to the specificdetails t ereof, butdesire to be protected in' various changes, alterations and modifica tions, both in the holdfast and in its application, which may cpme within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I I
