Application mea september 2s, 1917. serial No. 193,794.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLIFFORD DALE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wabash, in the county of Wabash and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Im-v provements in Concrete Structures and Blocks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in concrete structures, such as silos and the like and also with reference to improvements in blocks for building or forming the walls of such structures, one object of the invention being to-provide improved means to form ties or bonds between the ends of blocks in a course of blocks; another object being to e'ect improvements in the construction of the blocks by providing the same with longitudinally arranged reinforcing rods and with means to ooact with the retogether in a course; a further o ject being to provide the blocks with coengaging tongues and grooves in their upper sides to bond the blocks between the courses. y
The invention consists in the construction, 'combination and arrangement of den vices hereinafter described and claimed.
lso
In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a detailed perspective view of a concrete block.
Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly in section, of a portion of a wall composed of my improved concrete blocks. Fig. 3 is a detailed plan of two of the blocks showing the same with their opposing ends tied or bonded in accordance with my invention.
The blocks 1 may be of any suitable size and shape but are here shown as of oblong rectangular form and as slightly curved so that each block may' form a segment of a curved wall such as that of a silo. Each block is provided in the upper side with a longitudinal groove 2 and is provided at the lower side with a longitudinal tongue 3 to fit in the groove of the block of the next lower course, the said tongues and grooves serving to bond the blocks against lateral displacement, as' will be understood. Each block is also provided at each end-,with a vertical groove 4. n
While molding each block a reinforcing rod or wire' 5 is embedded therein longitudinally and at a point midwa between'the upper and lower sides. Ea reinforcing rod orwire has U-shaped ends 6, the bights of which extend into the vertical grooves at the ends of the block.
When laying the blocks in a course sub- .stantlally inverted V-Shaped, bonding or tymg elements 7 are employed between the meeting ends of the blocks, one of said bondposing ends of the blocks are then filled with cement, mortar or other suitable plastic material which not only serves to close the joint between the ends of the blocks but also serves to entirely ll the vertical grooves thereof and to embed the ends of the reinforcing rods or wires and the said tying or bonding elements so that the same are v immovably held in place, thus reatly strengthening and adding to the sol'idity of the wall or otherstructure.
While I have herein shown and described a preferred form of my invention, I would have it understood that changes may be' made in the form, proportion and construction of the several parts, without departing from the' spirit of my invention and within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In a structure of the class described, a pair of blocks having vertical grooves in their opposing ends and also havinv reinforcing elements extendin theret ough provided with bends whic project into said grooves, and a substantially inverted V shaped bonding element arranged in said grooves and with its arms engaging the said bends and the lower end of its arms engaging the bottoms of jthe grooves, said bonding elements connecting the reinforcing elements together and the upwardly converging arms thereof serving when said bonding element is forced downwardly to draw said reinforcing elements toward each other and thereby causing said reinforcing elements' to draw the opposing ends of the blocks together.
2. In a structure of the class described, a
'pair of blocks having vertical grooves in their opposing ends and also having reinforcing elements extending therethrough provided with bends which reject into said grooves, and a substantia ly inverted V- shaped bonding element arran ed in said grooves and with its arms engagmg the said bends `'and the lower end of its arms engaging the bottoms of the grooves,4 said bond- 'ing elements connecting the reinforcing elements together and the upwardly converging arms thereof serving when sald bonding element is forced downwardly to draw said 10 reinforcing elements toward each other and 1n the said grooves and holding 'the said 15 bonding elements in place.
In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
