T allwhom'z'tmayconcem:
Bef it knownjthat I, JOHN 'Nnwnnr. a citizen of the Uni-ted States, residing at Scarsdale, in the 7 county of Westchester and State of-New York," have invented certain new and useful Improvements: in Concrete Wall Blocks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
' the'framework of a building and secured to' This invention relates to building or wall blocks and walls constructed thereof, and it has for itsobject to provide an improved formlof concrete block which maybeconstructed'completely beforeuse, applied to said framework forforming the walls of the building in an' expeditious and economical way. .The invention also contemplates covering the outer face of awall constructed of said blocksith a; coating of plastic material or concrete for closing the joints between the wall-blocks.
The. invention will be firsthereinafter described in connectionwith the accompanying drawings, which constitute-part of this specification, and then more specifically de- I fined in the claims at the end tion.
of the descrip- In the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are" used to designate corresponding parts throughout j the several views i a wall composedof a pluralityoflconcrete blocks made, and assembled in accordance Figure 1 .is an elevation of a'portion of f1; pleted block.
The building any desired shapes and sizes. As illustrated in the accompanying drawings, said blocks are made rectangular and of uniform size so that they may be laid like bricks so as to break joints, .see Figure 1. Each block 1 has an inclosing frame 2 preferably of angle iron or other suitable metal bars, said frame having a flangeBcxtending around blocksl may be made in and inclosingthe concrete filling' l and arranged. at right angles; to the plane of the Wall, and a surrounding flange '5 extending inwardly from the flange 3' and arranged parallel to the plane ofthe' wall; The latter flange overlaps the concrete filling and servesto support the rear faceof thelatter, while the flange 3 incloses said concrete filling and protects the marginal edges'of the same, maintaining the straightlines -o'f saidedges.
The blocks 1 may be reinforced by one or more'vertical strips-6, preferably of .T-iron, I
secured to the frames 2; by angle brackets or-knees-7, the base flanges of said strips being arranged in the planesof the flanges" 5. It will also be'noted that the frame mem- 7 bers fare mitere'd atthe corners and fastened together by angle brackets or knees 8. Wire mesh material 9is laid in thezframes preferably upon oragainstthe strips 6 and knees I covered by the'concrete filling 4:. V The blocks may be supported against .up-
7 and 8, as shown in Figures 3=and 4,and
terial, as indicated at 10 in Figures 1 and 2, sald blocks having angle clamps or clipsll secured, to their rear surfaces in position toembraceor engage the lateral faces of said upright beams 10 to which they .may. be nailed or screwed, as at 12, Figure'Q. The
When the wall has been built up of blocks the blocks arelaid as sugge tedi Figure 1, 'thegouter surface f thereof is covered w th a coatlng orsplashing of concrete or other plastic material. f. I
whichmay be colored and finished to suit' the taste of the owner of the building. Saidouter coating'or covering 13 conceals the building blocks and closes any cracks between the meeting edges thereof in the wall sojas I to makelsaid, wall "entirely weather" tight; With 1 the construction herein 7 described and illustrated the building blocks may be made ofgiven dimensions in muchless time and relatively thin and of considerable extent, so
as to enable the builder to construct a wall v is at a great deal less cost thanwhen bricks or other forms of building blocks are used.
so. g right beams of Wood or other suitable inaginal he metal frames around the blocks make it possible to maintain the unity and straight edges of large blocks in transportation and when applying them to the wallbeains. As shown in Figure 1, the bottom row of blocks may be placed upon a base beam or sill 14.
1 claim a l. A building block comprising a marginal frame of metal having an inwardly extending flange at right angles to thelatter around one edge of thereof and a filling of plastic material inclosed in said frame and abuttingagainst said flange, said plastic. fill ing being flush with the outer face of: said flange; v
2. A- building block comprising a qmarginalframe of metal, an upright reinforcing strip insaid frame extending between and secured to the upper and lower parts of said frame and having a flat portion arranged parallel to the ends thereof, and a filling of plastic material in said frame and covering the outer ed e of said strip.
3. A building blOCK comprising a marframe having side and arranged within the frame,'wire mesh material in said frame and. seated against saidv brackets, and a filling of plastic ma terial in the frame and covering said Wll'O mesh material.
- 4. A building block comprising a margictions, angle 1 brackets connecting the end; ofzsaid sections I nai frame, a reinforcing strip extending between and secured to opposite parts of said frame, the front edge of said strip being spacedmward fromthe plane of the front edge of the frame, wire mesh material in .the frame and seated upon said front edge of said strip, and a filling of plastic mate-7' rial 1n the frame and covering said strip and wire mesh material. V
5. A building bloek comprising a-margi nal frame having an inwardly extending flange at right angles to the latter around one edge thereof, a reinforcingstripjof form secured across said frame \ivithits base flange in the plane o-f' the "inwardlyextend mo flan e on. theframe' and a fillin of o b i b I sponding surface of, tlleplastic material and of-said block, and right angular brackets se- I cured at intervals to the exposed face-0f In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speclfication. t
