WALTER OHABA, OF SEATTLE, 'WASHINGTON.
PORTABLE. HOUSE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
PatenteolSept. 7,1915.
Application filed November 14, 1912. Serial No. 731,343.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER OHARA, a-
citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in'Portable Houses, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
appearance houses of non-portable character.
A further object is to provide for building houses of difierent sizes by using different numbers of similar units, for securing plane interior wall surfaces, strong union of units, air-excluding joints, welghts for sash when desired, and ready and secure insertion of window and door frame units.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section extending frpm sills to roof and passing through a window. Fig. 2 a horizontal section passing through a door frame, a window, and one salient angle of the building. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through a rentrant angle of the building. Fig. i is a similar section showing a stud and adjacent portions of an inside partition.
In these figures, A represents a sill resting on a support A, and B one of the joists abutting, midway of the sill, a member B secured to the sill and projecting from the sameto receive in its grooved lower side the usual lip of a water table B resting on a base board B The member B is rabbeted above to receive upwardly extending wall members B and a floor B rests upon the joists and extending to the wall 13 overlaps the member B which is flush with the joists, making here a tight joint so that there is no communication between the space below the floor and the interior of the walls or any space above the plane of the floor. In other words, a section through the building in the plane of the floor would show no cavities but continuous wood.
At each salient angle or the building is used a post made up of two parts C, C, one having from end to end a wedge-like groove in which fits a corresponding projection or tongue C of the other, and the two assembled form a post rabbeted to receive the outer boards or sheathing D of the double walls and beveled outwardly from the margins of those boards to receive corner boards, E, closely fitting the post and the boards, D upon which they overlap. The two parts of the post form a reentrant angle into which the inner boards, I), of the wall extend, one overlapping the edge of the other as shown, but not attached thereto. Each pair of wall boards is secured to one part only of the post so that the boards and the corresponding part pf the post are removable together.
As shown in Fig.3 the posts at reentrant angles are analogous in construction, the pairs of wall boards being secured to separable tongued and grooved parts of the post; but here no corner boards are used since they would be within the house. In the angle made by the outer wall boards, however, I place a closely fitting member F to aid in excluding air. At intervals, between thecorner posts are placed studs or posts'each made up ofa grooved member G (Fig. 2) and a corresponding member G having a wedge-like tongue G to fit in the groove. Both parts are rabbeted to receive wall boards D, D, the inner boards D being flush with the post while the outer boards D are at some distance within the .plane of the outer face of the post which is beveled to .form a wedge-like projection over which a correspondingly recessed batten or pilaster G is secured by screws Gr passing throughout the batten and wall boards into the two parts of the post, respectively, and drawing the batten against the wall boards and binding all the parts together. Obviously, the post may be duplicated as many times as desired, the wall boards and post members to which they are secured forming panels or wall units to be handled without separating their parts. WVhere a door frame is desired, rabbeted jambs H, secured to properly placed panel studs H, and casings H H are added covering the joints as shown. For windows without weights, posts or studs having tongue and groove parts I, I are used with external battens I as side casings. The side jambs I are internally flush with the wall boards and posts and are provided with a T-like head I I which on one side overlaps the batten casing and on the other forms one side of a Way for the sash J. An interior casing I covers the edge of the jamb and the post and overlaps the wall boards, and the jamb is provided with the usual parting strip and The structure is provided with a plate member K upon which rest ceiling joists L and rafters M, the remainder of the roof not being here shown. The'plate is externally flush with the corner boards E and internally flush with the Wall boards, and against its inner face abut ceiling boards N, the angle joint being covered by a molding. The lower side of the plate is grooved to receive a tongue on a member 0, itself grooved below to receive a tongue formed on the Wall boards flush with its outer face. The inner wall boards overlap this member and abut the plate.
analogous in structure, the studs being made of two tongued and grooved parts P, P each forming one side of a panel or unit section having its face boards Q and Q, seated in rabbet grooves and flush with the corresponding faces of the studs, whereby the partition is plane on both faces and adapted to receive any desired covering or finish.
It is to be noted that the side Walls of the building are made up by connecting previously completed, readily shipped unit sections having an internal air space, some of those units containing Window frames, and others door frames, and all separably engaging each other to form a transversely rigid whole, and further, that the interior wall spaces are preferably lined with paper or other non-conducting sheets V.
\Vhat I claim is:
In a portable wooden building, the combination with a separable corner post hav ing two tongue and groove connected parts alining with the meeting walls, and adapted to receive upon their inner faces overlapping inner wall sheathing, respectively, each post being externally rabbeted to receive the outer sheathing and having, outside the plane of the latter, an inclined face, of rabbeted corner boards each overlapping upon the external sheathing and having an 1nclined face to wedge against the inclined face first mentioned. As shown in Fig. 4, inside partitions are In testimony whereof I'aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
