SYSTEM OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SYSTEM OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 2, 1920.
Application filed October 10, 1919. Serial No. 329,856.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS PALMER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of the city of Victoria, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Systems of Building Construction, of which the following is a specification. 7
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of buildings of practically every description, and the object of my invention is to devise a system of wall con struction whereby the building is rendered more weather-proof and warmer in winter and cooler in summer than where the present system is followed, which renders the building semi-fireproof, and in which the walls have a greater bearing strength than those of the ordinary construction.
I attain this object by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is an inside elevation of an outer wall.
F 2 is a vertical section,
Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. i is a cross sectional plan view of a partition.
Fig. 5 is a plan View of the elements 3 and 1.
Similar figures of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
The improved wall construction consists of the wall plate 1 which is laid on the wall 9 in the usual manner and on which wall plate rest the ends of the joists 3, intermediate members 4, however, consisting preferably of 2 inch by 10 inch scantling being cut in and well nailed between the joists, as shown in 2 and 3. The upper and lower plates 5 and 6 and the studs 7 are then erected and between the studs and flush with their outer edges intermedlate members 8, similar to those indicated by the numeral 4 are placed and well spiked in place. On the face of the studs vertical strips 9 preferably one and a half inch thick by three inches wide are nailed and to those strips is secured wood or metal lath 10, the lath being then covered with stucco, indicated by the numeral 11.
The use of the intermediate members 8 provides for an inner air space 12 between the inner face of the members and that of the lath and plaster 13 while the provision of the strips 9 insures an outer air space 14 between the outer face of the intermediate 8 and the inner face of the lath 10, from which it will be readily understood that, the building having solid material continuous all around, the studs and intermediate forming a solid construction, it will be warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and weather-proof, while at the same time the walls have a greater bearing strength than those of ordinary construction, a further advantage lying in the fact that they are not so liable to catch fire from the outside and in the event of fire from within would be so slow burning as to render them semi-fireproof.
l V hat I claim as my invention is 1. In a system of building construction, studding, vertical strips secured to the outer edges of the respective studs, an inner wall covering secured to the inner edges of said studs, an outer wall covering secured to the vertical strips, and intermediate members arranged between and se cured to the respective studs whereby the studs and intermediates form a solid continuous wall, said intermediates being flush with the outer edges of the studs and of less thickness than the width of the studs whereby an inner air space is formed between the inner surface of the intermedi:
ates and the inner wall covering and an outer air space between the outer surface of the intermediates and the outer wall covering.
2. In a system of building construction, a wall plate, joists having the ends thereof resting on the wall plate, flush with the outer edge of said plate, studding supported above the joists flush with the outer ends of the joists and the outer edge of the wall plate and intermediate members arranged between said joists and studs forming in conjunction therewith and with the outer edge of the wall plate a solid continuous wall surface.
Dated at, Victoria, B. 0., this 20th day of September, 1919.
THOMAS PALMER.
