Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 15, 1921.
Application filed February 18, 1920. Serial No. 359,536.
To all whom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, JoHANNns BnNirA- MIN EnN, a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Voss, Norway, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Building Structures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to building structures, and more particularly to structures built up of sections which are manufactured in standard types and transported to the site on which they are to be erected, the principal object of the invention being toprovide a structure of this'character having means for readily and effectively interconnecting the sections and at the same time providing air-tight joints between said sections.
In the drawings accompanying and formin part of this specification,
bigure 1 is a vertical sectional view illustrating the interconnection of two superposed wall sections and their connection with the joists for supporting an intervening floor;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken at the corner of a structure built in accordance with the present invention, and illustrating the interconnection between two side walls at right angles to each other.
The same characters of reference designate the same parts in the different figures of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, and particularly to Fig. 1, the reference numeral 3 designates the top plate of the framework of a lower room, the outside and inside sheathing forming the walls of which are designated by the reference numerals 2 and 1 respectively. 14; designates what may be termed the sill of the frame of an upper room, also having a double wall formed of outside and inside sheathing lO'and 9 respectively. The member 3 has formed in its upper side a longitudinally extending rabbet 4L, the side wall of the projecting portion 5 of which is inclined. 6 designates one of the floor joists, a number of which are spaced apart along the length of the plate 3. Each of the joists 6 is provided with a recess or groove in its lower edge, as indicated at 7, said groove being provided with inclined side walls, thus providing near the end of the joist a portionG" adapted to projectinto the rabbet of the plate 3 and interlock with the side wall of the projecting portion 5. It will be observed that the recess or groove in the joist 6 is of sufficient length to straddle the projecting portion 5 of the plate 3 as well as the inside sheathing 1 and still leave an open groove between said sheathing and the side wall of the groove in the joist 6 for the reception of the wedgeshaped portion of a list member 8, by means of which the joists are all looked into the rabbet of the top plate 3, the list 8 being se-' cured in position by means of nails or any other suitable fastening means. I
It will be obvious that the joist 6 could be interlocked with the member 1 1, which I have termed the sill of the upper'floor, in
identically the same manner as it is locked 7 1n connection with the late 3. In the present instance, however, T have illustrated the sill 14 provided with a longitudinally extending recess or groove 13, the side walls of which are preferably inclined, and the joists 6 are each provided with a transverse rabbet at the end thereof and a recess spaced from said rabbet a sufficient distance to provide a projecting portion 12 which'fits into and interlocks with the wall of the recess 13. The recess formed in the upper edge of the joist 6 is, lil e the groove 7 in the lower edge thereof, of sufficient width to straddle the projecting portion in of the sill 14: at one side of the groove 13, together with the inside sheathing 9 and leave a space at the inner side of said sheathingfor the reception of the wedge-shaped edge of a list member 15 which looks the sill 14 and the joists 6 together. The structure is provided at the exterior thereof with a moisture shedding member 11 extending longitudinally of the members 3 and 14.- and bridging the joint between said members, said moisture shedding member being preferably formed with a rabbet at its lower edge to overlap the lower outside sheathing 2 and at its upper edge inclined to fit under the inclined ends of the upper outside sheathing 10.
Referring now to Fig. 2, which illustrates the manner of interlocking the side walls at the vertical corners of the structure, the corner studs 21 and 22 are formed with intermating longitudinal rabbets forming interengaging portions as shown at 23. In this figure, A desi ates the horizontal beams forming the sillat the ground floor of the structure, and 18 designates a portion of the outside sheathing. The stud 22 is of a width greater than that of the stud 21 so as to provide a space between the outer side of the stud 21 and the inner side of the vertical corner board 17 equal to the thickness of this outer sheathing 18, whereby the end of said sheathing snugly fits between the stud 21 and the corner board 17 as shown at the left-hand side of Fig. 2. A second vertical corner board 17 j is secured to the outer side of the stud 22, with the sheathing 18 between it and said stud at right-angles to the first board 17. The inside sheathing 1 forming one side wall is secured to the stud 21 and the sill A with one of its vertical edges abutting the stud 22, while the sheathing forming the wall at right angles thereto has its vertical edge tapered and. spaced some distance from the corner formed by the other sheathing 1 and the r stud 22. A corner fillet or list 25 is provided with a projecting wedge-shaped portion 26 which enters the space so formed and retains the studs 21 and 22 in interlocked engagement.
It will be observed that in the present instance, at every corner where a list member is used for retaining the parts of the structure in interlocking engagement, the wedge portion of the list does not entirely fill the space provided for it. The unoccupied space may, if desired, be filled with a packing material 27, such as oakum or the like, as
shown in Fig. 2. It will also be observed that in each of the joints illustrated in the drawings, the frame members are provided with interengaging portions having inclined side walls, and that means is provided for cooperating with one of said portions to form a groove of greater width than the other of said portions thereby to provide space for a wedging member. In the form herein shown, this cooperating means comprises the inner walls of groove 7 and of the groove receiving portion 141: in Fig. 1, and the tapered end of the sheathing in Fig. 2.
It will be understood, of course, that the interlocking walls of the interengaging portions of the frame members may be of any suitable formation other than inclined, such for instance as stepped, the object to be attained being to prevent disconnection of the frame members after they have been wedged into interlocking relation, the essential feature of the invention being the formation of interengaging portions in the frame mem bers and locking them in place by means of wedge-shaped members, thereby providing a secure but readily detachable interconnection between the sections of the building structure.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
In a joint for connecting the meeting ends of parts of a building, aframe member having a laterally projecting portion, means associated with said member and spaced from said portion to form a groove, a second frame member provided with a projecting portion received in said groove and engaging the first mentioned portion, an inner sheathing received endwise in said groove, and a list member engaging said means and said sheathing and locking said sheathing and the second mentioned portion in said groove.
In. testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
