Definitions

  • My invention is intended for rendering the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer, in consequence of the use of two air-spaces between the outer planking and inside plaster, said air-spaces being made by a sheet of felt or similar material passing diagonally across the space between the planking and plaster from the outer side of one of the posts or studs to the inner side of the next; thereby a cheap and tight division will be made that prevents air blowing through the outer walls of the house, and confines the non-conducting air in two prismatic receptacles made of the aforeto the outside of one stud and to the inner side of the next. In this manner the spaces between the studs are divided into two air-chain bers for the purposes aforesaid.

Description

PATENT @FFIGE.
OREN O. DODGE, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION OF WOODEN BUILDINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,344, dated March 5, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OREN O. Donen, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in the Construction of WVooden Buildings; and the following is declared to be a correct description thereof:
\Vooden buildings have heretofore been made with air-spaces between the clapboardin g, the studding, and the plastering, and these airspaces have sometimes been subdivided by lath and plastering between the studding. This is expensive, and, the plaster being porous and liable to crack, does not make a reliably warm house. Paper and tarred paper and felt have also been employed between two layers of boardin g.
My invention is intended for rendering the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer, in consequence of the use of two air-spaces between the outer planking and inside plaster, said air-spaces being made by a sheet of felt or similar material passing diagonally across the space between the planking and plaster from the outer side of one of the posts or studs to the inner side of the next; thereby a cheap and tight division will be made that prevents air blowing through the outer walls of the house, and confines the non-conducting air in two prismatic receptacles made of the aforeto the outside of one stud and to the inner side of the next. In this manner the spaces between the studs are divided into two air-chain bers for the purposes aforesaid.
I prefer to attach the sheets f at the top and bottom by cleats t or strips nailed to the sills and timbers at the topand bottom ends of the studdin g.
I claim as my invention- The sheets f, of paper, felt, or similar mate rial, introduced diagonally between the studs I), and attached at the outer side of one stud and the inner side of the next, for the purposes set forth.
Signed by me this 27th day of January, 1872.
Witnesses: OREN O. DODGE.
