JOHN J. KENNEDY; on NEW YORK, N. Y.
METHOD OF BUILDING STRUCTU RES.
Application filed August 20, 1921. Serial No. 493,866.
To (62-5 to 7mm it may can corn:
it known that I, Join? J. KENNEDY, a citizen ofthe United States, and resident of the borough of hlanhattan, in the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Method of Building Structures, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a method of building structures and has for its object to provide a method which inexpensive, speedy in. construction. damp proof, substantially fireproof, and economical in the use of materials.
Another object is to provide a method of building structures which is simple in construction and camable of being operated and erected. by unskilled labor.
Another object is to provide certain improvements in the form, construction and arrangenent of the elements whereby the above named and other objects may be effectively attained.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanyii'ig drawings, in which" Fig. represents a perspective view of a building structure, showing a portion of the roof removed.
-ifiig. 2 represents a perspective view of the basement and first story in the course of erection, a portion of the forms used and the walls of the story being broken away to show the insertion o the molds for forming doors and windows.
Fig. 3 represents a detail vertical on an enlar .i scale. of the method structing the walls.
Fig. 4: represents a horizontal section taken in the plane of the line IV IV of section, of con- 5 represents a detail vertical section building structure shown in Fig. 2.
6 represents a detail vertical section of the building striucture shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 7 represents a perspective view of a portion of the means of connection between the walls of the first and second stories.
The building structure which I have shown in the drawings consists of a basement denoted by 1, a first story by 2, a second story by 3, and a roof by l. The basement 1 is built of concrete or stone in any well-known and approved manner and provided with an annular groove 5 which serves as a lock joint for the walls of the first story.
The method of building thewalls of the first story comprises an inner form 6, an outer form 7 which forms may extend the full length and height of the wall to be built or arranged in sections. These forms are constructed of vertically arranged studs 8 and tongue and grooved sheathing 9 secured horizontally to the studs 8. The walls are made damp proof and fireproof by means of hollow firebricks 10 which are located adjacent the sheathing of the inner form 6. The inner form 6 is held in position by means of temporary braces 11 which are secured be tween the studs 8 and the floor beams 12, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5. The outer form is held in position by any well-known and approved means such, for instance, as wires or bolts, not shown, which engage both the inner and outer forms. When the forms and brick lining 10 are in position, a concrete mixture 18 is tamped therebctween filling the groove 5 in the basement wall and providing a bond with the basement walls. Upon the upper edge of the walls formed between the forms, I insert a plate 14 of wood or other similar material, which is laid horizontally in the wall and secured by depending bolts 15 which are embedded in the concrete forming the wall. After the concrete mixture 13 has set and formed the wall, the outer form 7 is raised upwardly and reversed so that the studs 8 are disposed toward the center of the building and the sheathing exposed exteriorly. The form 7 is secured to the plate 14 by means of bolts 16 which project upwardly from the plate 14L and engage the strip 17 carried by the lower end of the form. Thus it will be seen that the form 7 is utilized asthe walls of the superstructure and the sheathing of the forms located so as to be in vertical alinement with the exterior surface of the wall of the first story, so as to receive the outer covering 18, such as clapboard, shingles or other suitable material which will add to the artistic finish of the building structure.
To provide the first story with suitable openings by which windows and doors may be made, I insert between the forms 6 and 7 boxes 19, and locate them in the position desired before the concrete mixture is poured into the forms.
It is to be understood that openings may be cut in the form 7 to provide the superstructure with the desired windows in the v .usual manner, as indicatedv in'Fig. 1.
The form 6 is utilized to construct the roof for the structure and is secured to a header 20 carried by the form 7 in any well known and approved manner. 7 It is obvious that various changes may be resorted to in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts without for asuperstructure, and applying an outer covering for said superstructure.
2. The method of building structures comprising providing a form having sets of inner and outer walls, molding the lower walls of a structure within said form walls, re-
' moving said form walls and utilizing the outer set of said form walls as the walls of a superstructure and the inner set of form walls as the material for the roof of said superstructure.
3. Themethod of building structures comprising providing a form'having sets of inner and outer walls, molding the lower walls of a structure within said form walls, removing said form walls and utilizing one set'of form walls as the walls of a superstructure, and applying a covering for said walls of said superstructure.
4. The method of building structures comprising providing a form having sets of inner andouter walls, molding the lower walls of a structure within said form wal1s,removing said form walls and utilizing the outer set of form walls as the walls of a superstructure, and applying a covering for said walls of said superstructure.
5.- The method of building structures comprising providing a form having sets of inner and outer walls, molding the lower walls of a structure within said form walls, re-
moving said form walls and utilizing the outer set of form walls as the walls of a superstructure and the inner set of form walls as the material for the'roof of said superstructure, and applying a covering for said walls of the superstructure.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 19th day of August, 1921.
JOHN J. KENNEDY.
