T all whom it may concern:
BYRON 1B. LAYTON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS CONCRETE SLAB CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed September 2 Be it known that I, BYRON B. LAY'roN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in .the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Concrete Slab Construction; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specifica- Various constructions have been devised for the purpose of rapid and efficient assembly of concrete slabs into suitablestructures such as silos or other constructions adapted to contain water, as, for instance, tanks or reservoirs.
This invention relates to a construction wherein a certain type of concrete slab is used, together with means for efliciently sealing each layer of the slabs and rigidly connecting the same together.
It is an object of this invention to provide a concrete construction wherein interlocking concrete slabs are used and with a layer of concrete formed on the inner or outer side thereof, and embedded in recesses in said slab to seal the joint between the slabs and lock the same together.
It is also an object of this invention to provide concrete interlocking slabs provided with recesses in the surfaces adapted to receive bonded therein a reinforcement of concrete adapted to connect the respective layers of slabs together and effectually seal the same at the junction thereof.
It is also an object of this invention to provide interlocking concrete slabs of relatively great height and narrow width and provided with a transverse recess near the upper and lower ends in the sides thereof, adapted to receive therein a reinforcement of concrete acting to bind adjacent layers of said slabs together in sealing relation.
It is also an object of this invention. to provide a reinforced concrete slab having longitudinal recesses in the abutting vertical edges thereof adapted to receive a filling of cement when in assembled relation, and with grooves in the surfaces thereof to receive a reinforced concrete bank acting to retain adjacent layers together and to seal the joint therebetween.
It is furthermore an object of this inven- Specification of Letters Patent.
- reference numeral Patented Nov. 30, 1915.

tion to provide interlocking concrete slabs with means associated therewith to receive a mold of concrete formed thereon to bind adjacent layers of slabs together.
It is finally an object of this invention to construct a concrete slab admitting rapid and secure assembly thereof into a building or the like whereby additional reinforcing means may be easily formed thereon after said blocks are assembled with one another.
The invention (in a preferred form) is hereinafter more fully described and defined in the accompanying drawings and specification. I
In the drawings Figure l is a front elevation of a structure composed of concrete slabs embodying the principles of my invention. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, with parts in ele 'ation. Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 5+3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a front elevation, partly broken away, of a concrete slab showing the arrangement of the reinforcing elements therein.
As shown in the drawings the reference numeral 1., indicates 'a structure such as-a silo or water tank built up of concrete slabs each indicated as. a whole by the reference numeral 2. Eachof said slabs as construct ed, consists of a reinforcing wire mesh 3, suitably associated with rods 4:, embedded in the concrete, and said slabs are formed with a V notch 5, in the lower end thereof, and a V projection 6, on the upper end thereof. On the vertical sides, which abut one another when in assembled relation, said slabs are provided with grooves or recesses 7 extending. for the whole length thereof. Said slabs are also formed with surface grooves 8 and 9, respectively, arranged as shown at the upper and lower ends of the slabs and on the inner or outer surface, as desired, although I have shown the same in assembled relation with said grooves on the outer surface thereof.
When the slabs are assembled, as each successive layer is placed in posltion, a suitable mold is set up in position therearound at the meeting faces of 'the respectivev layers and a filling of concrete designated by the 10, is poured in the mold and allowed to harden after which, of course, the mold is removed. Any suitable peripheral reinforcing elements, such as steel bars 11, are disposed about the various points in the formed portion 10, of the concrete, and, as shown, said concrete bonds into the respective grooves 8 and '9, of the assembled slabs.
A filling of cement l2, is poured into the grooved apertures which extend vertically between adjacent slabs, which, upon hardening, serves to bind the slabs together and effectually seal the meeting .faces thereof. If desired, any coating of cement or other surface finish 13, may be applied, upon the interior of the structure.
A completed structure resembles in appearance a barrel with hoops of concrete extending around the same, thus concealing the meeting edges of the respective layers 0t concrete slabs, and not only adding greatly to the appearance of the structure, but also reinforcing the same to a large extent.
Iain aware that various details of construction may be varied through a Wide range without departing from the principles .of this invention. I therefore do not purextending recesses in the outer surfaces 30 thereof, a unitary encircling band of reinforced concrete molded into saidrecesses ot the assembled blocks and sealing the horizontal meeting surfaces of adjacent rows of assembled blocks, and a plastic filling 35 poured into said vertical grooves ire said blocks to unite them to each other vertically, In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
