JAMES WEATHEns, or y GREEN-sense, INDIANA, AssIcNou 'ro Hnisntr AND V. P. HARRIS, or SAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No.5106,74`9, dated August 23, 41870.
The Schedule referred to :in these' Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES WnA'rHnns, of Greensburg, in the county ot' Decatur and in'the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Laying Brick XValls; and do hereby declare that the following is ,a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in providing brick with a metallic face-plate, having two anges, each of which extends between the layers of brick, and one of which is made sufficientlyr longer than the plate to break the joint between and bind together the contiguous bricks, as will be hereinafter fully set t'orth.
Brick covered by metal may be used in laying brick walls for dwelling-houses, or other buildings, together with arches, sewers, pavements, abutments, or other purposes where brickis desired to be nsed when the surface thereof is exposed to air, water, or the weather, or where great strength of wall is desired to be-obtained, tire prevented, or dampness of wall occasioned bythe absorption ot" moisture is desired to be obvated, or wherean ornamental finish is desired .to be obtained', such as in fronts of buildings, or corners thereof, chimneys, towers, Ste., or when hrickare desired to be used, heilig more or less imperfect, or when the'brick is not burnt at all, only molded or dried. y
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I
will now proceed to describe its construction and oper-` ation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of' a wall laid with my metal covered brick. A
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a brick, the front and one end of' which is covered with metal.
l Figure 3 is a vertical cross-section of fig. 2.
Figures 4 'and are perspective views of the lnetal covers used in certain cases, as will be hereinafter set forth.
I construct my wall, laying `the brick in any ofthe known forms, using morta-r, plaster, cement, or any other material known-in the trade, in the usual way, but prior to laying the brick in the wall,or'wl1ere they are laid, I apply the desired band or piece of galvanized iron, covering the brick in such manner as to secure the result desired to be obtained.
The part of the brick that is covered `or banded with the metal depends upon the kind of wall to be built, according to the various and varied styles and pnrposesi'or which the same muy be desiredto be used.
I .will now proceed to describe the principle and manner of using the metal in the building of an ordinary brick building.
A represents a brick, and
' Bis the piece of metal used in banding the front part thereof, said piece of metal being' the length of the brick and end combined, and wide enough to cover the face side, and to extend lover and under the same any distance required, usually about one inch.
rIhis metal band extends from the joint at c,
around the corner, and 'to the joint on the other side of adjoining wall, thus protecting the entire corner.
For the other brick not in the corner, the metal only extends from end to end, and, when placed inthe, wall, are firmly secured bythe mortar and pressure of' the wall.
When galvanized iron is used, it gives the entire front the appearance 'of solid blocks of galvanized iron, which science has proved' to be impervious to the weather or lapse' of time.
' It also prevents the brick from absorbing moisture, occasioned by rain, snow, 85o., and thereby ei'- i'ectually preventing most of Athe dampncss so coinmon to brick buildings, at the same time leaving the shape and joints common to brick walls the saine, giving opportunity of penciling, painting, 'or otherwise ornamenting the same, if desired, while the entire wall is much stronger, and all the brick perfectly i secure from accident, even should they be iinperfectlv burnt, or not burnt at all.
In order to secure great strength of wall, I let the 'top part of the metal, as shownin figs. 4 and 5, cx-
tend across the joint to theadjoining brick, which, being cemented by the mortar, and tirmiy held by the pressure of the weight above,`makes a cont-inuous line of metal between each layer of brick, around any number of corners or circles, so'long as the same may be used, thus ei'ectually preventing the springing, cracking, or, iu case of inside fire, falling down ot' walls, making the wall, if not superior in strength, fully equal to stone.
A wall builtin this manner may he 'much thinner .than the usual style, and yet'have greater strength, and thereby the cost of tire metal in a great measure be saved by the use ofa'less number of brick.
Having thus'fully described my invention,
What l claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-
The metallic face-plate B, provided with two tlanges, each of which extends between the ylayers of bricks, and one of which is make suicient-ly longer than the plateto breakthc joint between and bind together the contiguous bricks, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of May, 1870.
