SYSTEM OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Filed April 20. 1922 s Sheets-Sheet s INV ENTOR A ATTORNEY formed along theiredges, one or more with cut-out portions or recesses 6, as shown in F'gure 5, and the said recesses will be disprosed around the ed es of the plates according to the particu ar use thereof.

Those panels can be replaced by slabs of tile or tile-compositions, or by mats or meshes covered with stucco 0r plaster and supplied with proper means to fasten them to the frame-work.

In Figures 1 and 2, the numeral 7 indi cates a window opening and 8 a door opening, which are made in similar manner, as by providing a framework or molding around the o-pening, -which may be removed at the proper time,and filling in with cement, wires or rods and sill and frame members as presently described; and it is to be understood that in fabricating the structure shown in Figures 1, 2 and 5, suitable scaffolding is employed.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the inside and outside wall surfaces are made of plates, panels or slabs, such as shown in Figures 3 and 4:, or as described above, and between the same an insulating filling or lining 9 is ap lied, the same being preferably of some lig t, loose, dry materialwhichwill not fill in solidly, but will leave hollow spaces to be occupied by air, the material being such as cinders, dry turf, ashes, or mineral or other fiber; At the top of the wall-plates or panels, a capping or layer of concrete or cement 10 is applied, in which may be buried a plurality of wires, rods or bars 11, for the purpose of giving tenacity, strength and re-' inforcement to the structure. These concrete or cement cappings run horizontally or sometimes slightly inclined, to the wall or built-up structure between the inside and outside panels, and also between the uprights, posts or stanchions which are constructed as shown in Figures 2, 6 and 7. The said stanchions, posts or uprights are formed, in the ordinary run of the wall, by first hooking together the'inside and outside opposed slabs or plates, as shown in Figure 7, by a double hook or link 12, the hooks at the opposite ends of the links tightly engaging the eyes 5 of the reinforcing wires or rods4: of the opposed panels or plates 1. These links 12, in, con- I sequence, occur in pairs at the vertical seams or'points of juncture 13, of the panels or slates and'at the outside of the pairs of links, between the panels or plates 1, vertical boards or slabs 14 of suitable'material are set tightly against the eyes 5. At their lower ends, primarily, the slabs or boards 14 rest upon" the cement capping or layer 10, and, at their opposite ends, terminate adjacent the inner edge of the inner groove of the respective plates. These members 5. 12 and 14: all form a permanent part of the upright, post or stanchion at the juncthe slabs 14, the said concrete or filling being indicated at 16 in Figure 2. Those stanchions, uprights or posts may also be built of stones or bricks up to the inner edge of the inner groove and provided with the necessary means to fasten the outside and inside panels, slabs, etc. At corners or right-angles in the wall structure, such as shown at the opposite ends of the front wall of Figure 2 and in'the detail of Figure 6, opposed panels 1 with reinforcing wires or rods 4 havingterminal eyes 5 are connected by hooked links 12. On the inside of the wall-panels 1, reinforcing? rods 1 and terminal eyes 5, are. abutted against the surface of the inner wall panels. Outer wall panels indicated byl and provided with reinforcing wires or rods 17, formed in this instance with U-shaped eyes 18, are opposed to the inner panels 1, andthe hooked links 12' are engaged in the

eyes

5 and 18 to hold the inner and outer panels bers, as shown in Figure 6, a plurality of V reinforcing wires,'rods or bars 19 are inserted and then the concrete or cement shown in Figure '2 1s filled in, as at 20.

This forms a very substantial and strong coupling between cooperating or engaged walls and is readily fabricated; If an angle occurs, such as shown in Figure 2, in the end wall at the right of the figure, or is desirable to be made in the wall, the inner and outer wall-plates 1, the latter a little the wider, are abutted, and the inner and outer plates are linked togetherbythe hooks 12 and eyes 5, vertical rods 21 aresetin' place, and the entire structure is then solidified by filling in withjcement 22.

If a door or window opening is'to be made or formed, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 8, the proper form-plates or molding are set in place and boards or'-slab's-14 are properly located, as shown in Figure 2, wires 15 are inserted, the window ordoo'rf' frame, as the case may be, is set in place, the side members being ind cated at 23,

Figure 2, the sill at 24c, and the top ornate,

member 25, Figure 8. At the sidesof the frame, Figure 2, the spaces arefilled in with cement 26f" The sill and upper portion'of the frame may be formed as shown r in Figure 8. The: cement capping 10 with rods ll-is applied behind the sill 24'. The top ornate memberis set in place and more or less embedded'in or incased by the cement capping orfilling 10 with rods 11.

' lVith the foregoing structural members, practically any form of wallor similar fabricated structure with windows, doors or other openings properly incased, can be produced according to my method, which latter, as schematically portrayed in Figure 5, consists of thefollowing steps:

Assuming a'sca'fi'olding and proper mold structure to have been prepared and'set' up, but which, obviously, isomittedfrom the drawings on account of the limitations thereof, and assuming that a portion of a wall has been constructed composed of inside and outside wall pla'tes or panels l,'tiles or mats, with filling of insulating material 9- and capping cement 10 and reinforcing wires llrlaid in, the next step will be to place the insideand outside wall-platesor panels '1 into position with the-lower grooved edges thereof cooperating with and overlapping the upper grooved edges-of the'lowertier of plates. Then" the hooks 12 are linked into theo'eyes'5 of the opposed-plates; slabs letare slid into place atopposite sides of the pairs of links wires, rods or bars'15i are 'set in place and then the filling fiber or material 9 is filled into the space between slabs-14 and wall-plates.+ Next the cement isfilled into the space between the slabs 145 at the edges'of'the abutted panels 1, and, when the top of the slabsis reached, the.

cement is spread. over and upon' the insulating filling=material 9, and the longitudinal wires 11' are laid in, linked to gether with a plurality of hooks 12, and

more cement filled in until the horizontal 'wires a'nd hooks 12'holding the same are entirely covered and. embedded, as shown,

for example in "Figure 1. If the stanchions,

uprights or posts are constructed of stones-or bricks, the constructioninethod is slightly changed. First theiposts are built. up to the elevation'of the under side of'the upper tier, then the panels, plates, tiles ormats are fixed with proper meansto the posts. The insulating filling material is filled and the tier or sill constructed as described above. The slabs 14: are omitted. process is continued throughout the entire wall structure and, when the point is reached where a flooring is to be laid, girders or floor beams may be constructed and interlocked with the wall structure as follows: 1

The proper scaffolding and form-plates having been set in position, a mold-box ismade'to extend between opposite walls, and plates 1, provided-with the necessary cut-out portions or recesses 6 having been built into'the wall structure, cement is filled into the girderform-box, reinforcing rods, bars or wires'27 laid and embeddedthereim and to rundown intojand *c'ooper'ate with, the

ty, and the independent'elements0f which are This extended intofthe sp-ace through theaper 7' turesz6 between the innerand outerwalls, When the nexttier of 1 wall stri'icture' is a set up,"* "tl1e filling'for the uprights-or stanichion's between {slabs or boards 14 isallowed filling in the girdermold-boxes, thus form ing a bond or union between theuprights very-rigidland substantial fabric may be constructe'ch-which may be-either inside or 4 outside walls, housings of various kinds, and 'providedfwithall the necessary angles, dependent upon'the s'itegorthesurroundings. 7

Heat and coldi and water-proof; walls'are thus'constructed'which are durable, strong, i quickly constructed with considerable facilicheap and' economical to produce} A skilled, workman 1s not're'qu1red,js1nce*one oford nary intelligence can be-quickly instructed 7 howto manipulate and usethe various ele-' ments, thus doing' away with -highfgrade *1'00 labor, as wellas' the inconvenlence' and difficultics often experienced in obtaining, the

latter. I i The panels or wall plates are also 1 quickly fabricated and'may -be made ofany material desired, {ornamental orotherwisej for either lnterior or 'exterlor decorations, and they 7 maybe made of such mat'erlals as vw ll readily takepaints stains, and other=eolor *ing matter, and-'Whichare 'susceptrble of llQ various decorations; I 7

I have ln'the foregoing referred-to-Vthe reinforcement media 3 and 4 for the wall-7;

plates orpanels as wires, rods or bars; but, I

by this I do not desire to impose a limita- 1 1 tion as to material, since the plates or panels can be reinforced by reeds or other-similar strips embedded as described, and'the eyes 5 formed in the ends of short wires incor- 'poratedsuitably in the plates. As stated 12o,

above the panels or plates may be'replaced by a tile-slab, a slab composedoof tiles, meshes orv mats covered with stucco or plaster and fixed to the framework. 1

Having thus described -my invention, 1
