Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE G. WINANS, OF SORANTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN WAINSCOTING FOR BUILDINGS.
Spccilication forming part ofLetters Patent No. 145,016, dated February 24, 1874; application filed July 17, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit k own that I, GEORGE G. WINANs, of Scranton, 'n the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved VVainscoting for Buildings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of the same, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specication, in whichto describe.
The wainscoting isformed from narrow boards about one inch in thickness, sawed longitudinally at an angle so as to produce two strips, A A, thicker at one edge than at the other. The thin edge of cach strip next the beveled back is formed with a tongue, B, and in the thick edge near the front a groove, C, is cut. The strips are applied vertically to a wall to form the wainscoting by fitting the tongue B of one into the groove O of the other, as shown in Fig. 2. The back portion d of the groove is made somewhat wider and thicker than the `front portion e, in order' to receive the nails by which the wainscoting is secured to the wall, and to facilitate their being driven. After the irst strip has been applied to the wall, thesucceeding strips are nailed only through the parts d, their opposite edges being held by the tongue and groove, as above described.
By this construction the i'ace of the wainscoting is made smooth, with the exception of the ornamental beads f, while passages, G, are formed between each strip and the wall for the circulation of air, to prevent the wainscoting from decaying.
I claim- The wainscoting herein described, consisting of the strips A A provided with beveled or inclined back surfaces,tongues B B,and grooves `C O, included between the wide and deep rear projections d d and the narrow and short front projections f f, so that the face of the strips, when applied, may form a plain surface, and wedge-shaped air-spaces may be left at the back of cach strip, substantially as and for the purpose specified. GEO. G. VINANS.
