WILLIAM CHARLES DAVIS, OF MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA.
WALL CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 29, 19119..
Application filed September 27, 1917. Serial No. 193,494.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM CHARLES DAvIs, of Victoria Parade, in the city of Melbourne, county of Bourke, State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in all Construction, of which the following is a specification.
The invention as hereinafter described includes improvements in or relating to the continuous reinforcing of concrete walls of buildings.
My present invention relates particularly to the continuous method of reinforcing concrete walls of buildings, whether made entirely of my improved concrete stone blocks, or in conjunction with an inner "wood framework.
I provide a reinforcing groove in the four edges of the blocks, whereby a horizontal, with or without, a vertical reinforcement, can be employed throughout the construction of such buildings; my object being to enable such blocks to be placed in position with either side showing outwardly; also to give considerable reinforcing strength to the walls of the building; as Well as to permit of various architectural designs being employed.
The particular features of the invention therefore lie in the provision of, (1). Reinforcing wires extending throughout and between each course of said blocks, forming a continuous method of reinforcing the walls of buildings. (2). A. 'roove or channel provided in each of the our edges of the concrete stone blocks, so that it may be optional which side of block may be used outwardly. (3). Specially designed cleats for support ing the reinforcing wires employed in connection with the reinforced concrete wall and the wood framework "of building, and, (4.). A stirrup for also supporting said reinforcing wires when used for hollow walls of concrete stone block buildings.
My invention will be better understood upon reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a partial perspective view of a wall comprised partly of a wood framework, and partly of my grooved concrete stone blocks, showing the arrangement of .such blocks, as also the ends of the reinforcing wires standing out from each of the several courses.
Fig. 2 represents an end elevation of part of wall showing reinforcing wires and the position of their cleats aforesaid. Fig. 3 is also a partial perspective view of a wall of like construction as in Fig. 1, showing the manner in which the reinforcing wires are passed along in the grooves, and in each course of concrete stone blocks with cleats engaging said reinforcing wires. Fig. 4B is a partial plan of a wall as in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, and having said reinforcing wires, and cleats. Fig. 5 shows two preferred designs of cleats adaptably used for walls as shown at Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4-. Fig. 6 is a part elevation of a hollow concrete stone block wall, showing said wires projecting from the courses together with reinforcing stirrups employed therewith. Fig. 7 is a part plan of a concrete wall corner, showing my reinforcing wires positioned in the grooves of a course comprised of said blocks. Fig. 8 shows a partial perspective corner view also illustrating the arrangement of said reinforcing wires and stirrups. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a stirrup as used for hollow concrete stone block walls. Fig. 10 is a modification of the arrangement of reinforcing wires.
Like reference letters refer to like parts wherever they occur in the several views.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 8, 4c and 5 of my drawings, (A) represents the reinforcing wires shown positioned in the groove (B) provided in the edges of said block (C). The placing of said wires (A) in their respective grooves (B) is carried out as the laying of the said blocks (C) proceeds in the construction of walls.
It will be observed that the groove (B) in the edges of each lolock (C) is molded to the full extent of its length and breadth, so that as said blocks (0) are being laid in their respective courses, the reinforcing wires (A) can be introduced. All of these wires (A) are reinforced at intervals by means of either one of the two cleats (E) or (F), shown at Fig. 5. One end of each of said cleats (E) and (F) is provided with an eye through which an ordinary clout nail as at (G) is driven into the wood frame studs (H) while the other end of cleat may be of either form shown. In any case, said cleats would be of suflicient length for the hook shaped end to engage the reinforcing wires positioned along the groove in said blocks (C). For the reinforcing of hollow concrete stone block walls, I purpose using two reinforcing wires (A) for each course,
that is to say, one for the inner, and one for the outer wall. Reinforcing stirrups (I) having angularly bent ends and a V shaped middle portion adaptably. engage both reinforcing wires (A) and lie partly in the grooves of the concrete stone blocks C It may be here explained that vertical reinforcing wires (J) having hooked ends may also be used in the joints between the courses for giving added strength to the reinforcement, as shown at Fig. 10.
I claim- A wall construction comprising, concrete stone blocks grooved at their edges, and laid in courses for the outer part, and Wooden studs for the inner, reinforcing wires in a continuous manner in said grooves, in combination with cleats projected at intervals from said studs to engage the reinforcing wires.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
