STATES PATENT UFFIE ALFRED S. NASH, 0F WELIMANSETT, MASSACHUSETTS.
BUILDING-BLOCK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
To all whom it may concern:
vBe it known that I, ALFRED S. NASH, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of VVillimansett, in Chicopee, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts,'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Building-Blocks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in building blocks and more especially those composed of concrete, the object being to provide a block of superior character for building purposes, especially in respect of means for the interlocking and binding of the blocks and to the-means for acquiring air circulation through a wall composed of the improved blocks.
The invention is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and is set forth in the claim.
In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective View of a block made in accordance with my invention and understood as a stock block, to be repetitively usedin long Fig. 2 is a plan View of a portion of a wall in which blocks of my improved construction are employed. Fig. 3 is a front view of a portion of a wall made of these blocks. 7 Fig. 4 is. a vertical sectional view on line H, Fig.3.
Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of the views.
In the drawings A represents a building. block of what may be herein considered and termed a stock block for repetitive use in long courses as the uninterrupted character of a wall to be built may permit,these blocks being composed of concrete or any substance or combination of -materials or substances for the production of an artificial stone. It will be herein understood that a indicates the front'or outer face of the block and b the inner face. In the relation represented in the drawing, the block has at its one end a. succession of step shaped faces d which have their recedence from the rear toward the forward side of the block, while the same block has atits other end a succession of step shaped faces which have their recedence from the front toward the rearward side of the block. The block has a longitudinal channel g in a horizontal side thereof, here the top side, and it is also made with passages h h from top to bottom therethrough which preferably, though not necessarily, are in lines intersecting the front and rear margin of the channel 9.
The blocks A and A are special blocks to be employed in places in the building where openings for windows or doors are to be formed, but they partake in some extent of the structural characteristics of the stock block A. That is, for instance, the right hand end of the special block A is made with a step shaped face like the right hand end of the stock block A, such face being non-complementary to the adjoining left hand end face of the block A so that vertical apertures 2', j and 7c are produced, certain thereof beingeutilized for receiving an interlocking body of cement or while others serve as vertical air ducts through the structure at the adjoined ends of two of the blocks; and the left hand end of the special block A ismade with a step shaped face which is like that of the left hand of the stock block A, such face being non-complementary to the adjoining right hand end face of the said block A so that here also the vertical apertures 2', j and k are produced, the one 2' receiving a cement binder therein, while the other two serve as vertical ducts through the structure at the adjoined ends of two of the blocks. Itis to be furthermore stated that the vertical ducts j and 70, either or both, are in communication with the ends of a horizontal longitudinally extending channel 9 in the top side of the block A. reason of the channel, passages h h and the ducts at the adjoined ends of the blocks, free circulation of air is permitted throughout the entire wall structure. And it will be noted on reference to the drawings that certain of the vertical passages h h, which are transversely elongated so that the longer dimensions thereof range with the length of the block, have their locations within a. front portion of the thickness of the-block and their elongated dimensions are such as to extend only for a portion of the length of the block, while other of the vertical passages it have their locations within a rear portion of the thickness of the block, which locations, furthermore, are along other portions of the length of the block than those occupied by the vertical passages 72. toward the farther side of the block therefrom; and thus it will be seen that the block-constituted wall in respect. to any portion thereof, whether between vertical joints, or coincident with the vertical Patented Apr.23, 1912.- Application filed February 1, 1911. Serial No. 606,033.
joints is one having frost intercepting spaces present therein inany transversely penetrating line. And for the entrance of air into the circulatory system, some one block, such as the one a is made with itsvertical passage 11, which communicates with the channel 9 in the top thereof with a right'angular continuation g which opens horizontally to avertical face of the block;
rality of step shaped faces having their recedence from the rear toward the forward side of the block and having at its other end a plurality of step shaped faces which have -their recedence from the front toward the rearward side of the block, cooperative blocks, the ends of which are to be adjoined to those of the above named block, having a plurality of step shaped faces which are front and rear surfaces thereof, and a binder of cement in one of the spaces bespaces being left vacant to form vertical air ducts. 7 a
