Be it known that l, JOHN LALLY, a citizen of the. United States, residing at Boston, Sufioll: County, Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Building Columns, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to buildin columns or the tubular casing, concrete lled type with a top or crown built up of cut pieces interlocked with the casing and it is my object to provide such columns with improved means for attaching floor beams and the like and with means for connecting superimposed columns which means will be as small and light as possible and at the same time havegreat weight bearing capacity.

Tn the drawings Fig. 1 is a side view, partly in section of a column top embodying my invention; Fig. 2 a sectional view out the structure oil Fig 1 on the line 2-2 thereof; Fig. 3 a like view of the structure of Fig. l on the line 3--3 thereof; Fig. a side view of a somewhat simplified form of column and beam connection; and Fig. 5 a view partly in section of a column ha in a beam connection and bracket on one side thereof.

The column comprises the outer casing l of steel tubing or cast iron and is slotted 2 2, the points the conned tions are to be made. the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the slots are not diametrically opposed. A tie plate 3 is at l so its end portions are parallel but oil-set and is provided with notches 5-5. The plate 8 is pushed through the slots 2-2 with the notches 55 engag the upper ends of the slots and wedges ti 8 are driven into lower ends or the slots to force the tie plate up into firm conwith the casing, the notches prevent ing lateral movement. The wedges and plates, or either, may be welded to the casing desired.

'llnder each upper slot and alined therewith is a second slot ?-=7. Brackets 8-8 are hooked therein. These brackets have a shell 9, web 10 and hook-like projections 11 7 slot. This bracket and wedge may also be welded to the casing it deslred. The column is then inverted and tilled with plastic material such as concrete which not only till desired. The tops of these floor beams are generally flush with the top of the column.

L another column 15' is to be superimposed a sandwich plate 16, provided with a central opening, is laid on or secured to the top'ot'the lower column and a dowel pin 17 passes through the plate aperture and engages the plastic filling in the upper and lower columns. The top plate 16 may be the same size as the columns or larger, and it square, as shown in Fig. 3, will form substantially a continuation of the upper flanges or the tloor beams.

It will be noted that the bend l in the tie plate 3 permits the beams la-1t to substantially aline the middle of the column so that the load is evenly borne.

If a third floor beam or a single beam is to be attached the upper and lower alined slots 18 and 19 are cut at the proper places and a bracket 20 and tie plate 21 are inserted in the slots and secured as before described. The tie plate 21 does not, in this case, pass entirely through the casing.

In the form shown in Fig. i the tie plate 22 is placed in slots in the lower part ol the upper column 23 and the sandwich plate 24 is placed on the top of the lower column 25. By this construction the floor beams rest on bracketslon the lower column and are cured to atie plate in the upper column uniting the two columns. The dowel 26 may be used or not as desired.

ln Fig. 5 l have also shown how wich plate the size of the lower column may have column of lesser diameter supernaposed upon it.

l. A building column comprising a casing provided with a slot, a notched tie plate ontering said slot and extending partly within and partly without the casing and adapted to engage the side of a floor beam, the

notch in the tie plate engaging the slot end,

a bracket secured to the casing below tie plate adapted to carry a door beam.

2. A. building column comprising a provided with upper and lower slots, a

notched tie plate entering the upper slot Mill with the notch engaging the slotend, a bracket in the lower slot, a hook on said bracket within the casing and plastic Inaterial within the casing.

to the notch whereby the notch and slot are forced together, and a bracket secured to the casing below the tie plate.

4t. A building column comprising a casing proyided with opposed, alined slots, a notched tie plate extending through the slots and casing and beyond the latter with the notches engaging the casing, wedges in the ends oi? the slots opposed to the notches and forcing the notches into engagement with the slot ends, brackets secured to the casing below the tie plates and a filling of plastic material within the column.

5. A building column comprising a casing provided with upper and lower opposed, alined slots, a notched tie plate extending through the upper slots and casing and extending beyond the latter with the notches engaging the slot ends, brackets, each having inner hook-like parts engaging the lower slots below the tie plate and a filling of plastic material within the casing.

6. A building column comprising a casing provided with slots slightly staggered with respect to one another but substantially opposed, a tie plate having a bend therein with its ends substantially parallel extending through the slots and casing and beyond the latter with the bend inside the casing, brackets secured to the casing below the tie plate and a filling of plastic material within the casing.

7. Building construction comprising a col= umn casing provided with opposed slots, a notched tie plate in the slots and extending through and beyond the casing with the notches engaging the slot ends, a bracket and plate below the column and a second column under the first carrying the bracket and plate, said bracket and tie plate being adapted to be secured to a "floor beam whereby the floor beam is secured to both the upper and lower columns securing the two together In testimony whereof l have hereunto subscribed my name.
