htiteil mes Louis A, oanvnfr, or New. vonk, N. Y.Y
Letters Paten-t No. 103,979, dated Jano 7, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN WOOD PAVEMENT.
The s chedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
YBe it known that I, LoUIs A. GAUVET, of New York city, in the 'county of New York and Stateof New. York, have invented certain Improvements in \Vooden Pavemeuts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying dra-wing.
hly invention relates to wooden-block pavements; ant
It consists in constructing a pavement by arranging triangular stringers or foundation '-pieces upon boards or planks, and mounting on these stringere rows of blocks, connected by keys or joggle-pieces, a space or recess being left between the rows o f block and filled with gravel, as hereinafter described.
igure 1 isa longitudinal section of my pavement, an
Figure 2, a vertical cross-section of the same ou the line x z ot' iig. 1.
In constructing my pavement, I first place, upon a sand or other foundation, boards or planks A, at a distance of v about three feet apart, and so as to extend lengthwise of the street or roadway, and-fill the sand up even with the top of said boards. I then provide long stringers or foundation-pieces B, of a triangular cross-section, having their angles or edges slightly cut away, and place them closely together upon and across the boards A, as shown.
I next provide wooden blocks C, of the form shown, having their lower ends of a V=shape, and having a groove, a., iu each side, and arrange themin rows in the depressions between the st-rngers, as shown `in fig. 1, a small space, b, being left between the rows.
Between the rows of blocks, so as to rest upon the stringers, I place keys or joggles D, which enter the grooves a in the faces of the adjoining rows of blocks, as shown in fig. 1, and each of these keys I nail fast to one of the rows of blocks and -to the Stringer, as shown. The recesses b I then fill with gravel, and my pavement is complete and ready for use.
A pavement of this construction is cheap, strong, and simple, easily` laid in place, and not liable to sink at one point more than another.
4Having thus described my invention,
What I claim is- A pavement consisting of the triangular stringere or bed-pieces B and the blocks C, with the keys or strips D, all constructed and arranged substantially as described.
