To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HANS O'ITOSSON- ELr-to'r, a citizen of Sweden, residing at 'Iunnelgaten 25, Stockholm, Sweden, and

. MAWNE JtiNssoN, a citizen of Sweden, re-

siding at Islin e, Lidingo, Sweden, subjects of the King Sweden, have invented new and 'useful Improvements in or Relating to Sec ional Walls, of which the followin is to a specification (for which we have ap ied for patents in Sweden, June 5, 1919; Britain, February 21, 1920; Finland, May 31, 1920; Germany, June 24, 1920; Belgium, June 26, 1920; France, June 29, 1920; Dentt mark, August 19, 1920; Norway, May 24,

This invention relates to buildings, the walls, of which consist of wall-sections, and especially to the construction of such sections as well as their connection /with each other'and with other parts of the building, particularly at the corners, beams and roofs of the buildings.

The object of the invention is, by means of ready made wall-sections, to construct a cheap, simple and easily erected building. As to the shape and size, the wall-sections are so adjusted as, by the use of a few different standardized types of wall-sections, to attain the possibility of varying, to a great extent, the size and appearance of the building.

In comparison with similar earlier arrangements, this invention aifords several advantages, firstly, that if the wall-sections during storage and transport should warp or become distorted, as will easily occur, this will not induce the usual inconveniences of having the wall-sections straightened before being jointed. This operation is unnecessary, when using wall-sections according to the present invention, because of the connections being so constructed as to effect,

without further measures, the straightening of the wall-sections. Another important advantage consists in that the wall, owing to the properties of the connections, obtains the character of a half-timber buildin or a framework which, as is well-known, ail ords considerable advantages as to stability and strength. Another important adreatv vantage consists in that the edge-portions of the wall-sections are resistible against shocks and bendin strains and, owin thereto, are very litt e likely to be damage during the trans ort. I In earlier devices of this kind it wil easily occur that a great part of the materialon account of a fragile edge-construction, will bebroken in pieces before being inserted in the building. Another great facturederiving from the simplicity of the connections, consists in that the wall-sectlons need only be manufactured in a few standard types, dpreferably one rectangular, one square, an one triangular type, the short side of the rectan le coextensive with the si e o a short side of the triangle.

The invention is, chiefly, characterized in each wall-section consistin of one or more frames coated at either side with boards, the edges of the frame extending outside the edges of one or both coatings. When jointing the wall-sections with the frames laced edge by edge, recesses will be formed 1n the preferably bein the square an advantage relating to the manu-' surfaces of the wall, on account of the ed es J' of the frames extending on one or both si es, the width of each recess being bounded by the edges of the coatings. In the case of the edges of the frame extending outside both coatings, recesses will be formed at either side of the wall, whereas a recess will otherwise be formed on one side only of the wall. In the recesses fillings are inserted which are nailed to the frames. By this the advantage is obtained that the fillings cause the edges of the frames to be positioned in front of each other, the wall-sections, if skew, thus being straightened.

Several embo iments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

Figure 9 illustrates a triangular wallsection, and

Fi res 10 and 11 are cross-sections of two ifierent embodiments thereof.

Figure 12 shows a plan-view of an edgeconnection formed by wall-sections according to Figure 3.

igure 13 an ed -connect1on formed by wallsections accor 'ng to Figure 2.

Figure 14 is a vertical section of a portion of a building composed of wall-sectlons according to the invention.

Figure 15 is a section of the wall-sections at the eaves and along the roof.

Figure 16 is a cross-section of the wallsections at the windows and the doors.

Figure 17 shows a long wall composed of the wall-sections and Figure 18 shows a gable.

Fig. 19 shows an insulating and packing arrangement between the meeting edges of two frames, and

Fig. 20 shows a gable with an attaching device between the wall sections.

Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the wallsection consists of a frame 1, both sides of which are coated with boards 2. As shown in Figure 3, the edge of the coating extends on the one side to the ed of the frame 1, whereas on the other si e the edge of the coating is positioned inside the edge of the frame. According to Figure 2 t e edges of both coatings are situated .inside the edges of the frame.

In Figures 4 to 6 and 7 to 8 the wall-sections are constructed in the same manner. The rectangular wall-sections'in Figures 1 and 4 may be provided with struts 3 efl'ecting a rigid construction.

When placin two wall-sections constructed as mentione above edge by edge (as in Figures 12 and 13) recesses 4 are formed which, as in Figure 12, appear on the inside only of the wall, the coatings 2 being close to each other on the outside. In Fifgure 13 recesses are formed on either side 0 the wall. In both cases fillings are inserted in the recesses consisting of whole boards nailed to the frames 1.

By this construction the outside and the inside of the wall will be evened and the fillings will straighten the wall-sections, if a-skew, when erected.

The corner in Figure 12, composed of wall-sections according to Figure 3, is very simple. The edges of the frame and of the outer coating of the one wall-section which forms an an le with the other one bears against the inside of the frame of the other wall-section and against the edge of its inner coating. Between the inside of the latter and the edge of the inner coating of the first-named wall-section there is formed a space 5 in which a lath is'inserted. Consequently, the corner described does not re.

quire, except said lath, any further additional member, being very simple in construction, no separate pillar or the like being necessary and the strength of the construction being quite satisfactory. In the corner shown in Figure 13 the ed of the frame of one wall-section bears against the inner side of the frame of the other wall-section. In this case three recesses 6 are formed in which laths are inserted.

The wall shown in Fi re 14 is composed of wall-sections the ower portion of which being according to Fi ure 3 and the upper portion according to ig. 2 and affords'great advantages with regard to the connection of the wall-sections with the beam 7 ofthe building. The edges of the frame 1 and the inner coating bear directly on the upser side of the beam, 9. board be ing place in the recess 4 and nailed to the frame 1 and the beam 7. Thus the wallsections are connected with each other and the beam 7.

A board 8 is, preferably, placed at the upper edge of the wall on the edge of the frame 1. Between said board and the edges of the inner and the outer coating recesses are formed in which fillings 9 are inserted. Also this construction is very sim la and requires only three easily adjustab e members beyond the wall-section itself.

When using wall-sections according to Figure 3, to the last named purpose, one recess only is formed in which a filling is to be inserted.

The triangular wall-sections shown' in Figures 9, 10 and 11 are adapted to be placed close to the roof at the gables of the building see Figure 18) the uppermost edge of the rame portion 10 l in close to the roof.

Also the connection ween the wall-sections and the door and window frames of the building shown in Figure 16 affords great simplicity. In this case the door and window-frames are provided with external notches close to both edges; The filling 9 nailed to the edge of the frame is inserted in the inner notch, while the edge of the frame and the coating positioned on the other side thereof are jointed to the outer side of the window frame, spaces being left for the necessary ti htenings. Inserted in the outer notch 11 o the frame is the edge ofthe coating 13, which rests above the window against the water-bar 14. The latter bears against the wall-section as well as inst the window-frame 12. Inserted at the ower side of the window beneath a water-bar 15 is the coating 13, the water bar being fitted into the outer notch 11 of the window frame. The construction of the water-bars is advantageous on account of its simplicity and effectiveness.

As will appearfrom Figure 18, the fillings Inserted between the wall-sections give III meager the wall the character of a half-timber building advantageously strengthening the wall as a whole and framing all the wallsections.

In Fig. 19, 1 are the adjacent-lying frames of the wall sections and 2 the frame cover ings. When the wall sections are set up adjacently depressions are left at both sides of the meeting edges 16, in which bars are placed. Before this is done pulp or paper members 18 are placed in the meeting edges which are of such width that when the bars are positioned thereon the pulp members lie closely on the frame ortions 1 and are bent up along the edges the bars, thereby filling the spaces between the said edges and the edges of the coverings 2. The bars are, of course, of such width that the packing material is tightly retained when the bars are pressed down and nailed. This arrangement results in a very good packing and msulation and at the same time the wall sections are rigidly connected to ether.

In the gable illustrated in F1 20 the wall sections 19, in accordance with t e invention, are set on edge close together. Placed in the depressions at the meeting edges are fillers 17, which extend for the entire height of the gable and thus form a rigid connection between all the adjacent positioned wall sections. The fillers 17, instead of being arranged lengthwise, may be arranged over the entire width of the gable, or in both ways.

The narrow wall section shown in Figures 4 and 6 is adapted to allow increased possibility of varying, principally, the length of the building, but also, if required, the width thereof. Thus one or more of such sections may be inserted between or outside the normal wall sections according to the amount of the increase in length.

Of course each of the square and triangular wall sections occuring in the gable-construction of the building should be used in an increased number, according as the size of' the gable surface increases. Thus the possibility is obtained, without deviating from the normal types of the wall sections mentioned above, of varying the. size of the building.

sections are assembled the surface of said' fillets being substantially flush with the coating substantially as set forth.

2. A wall section for house building comprising a frame coated on both sides with boards, the edges of the frame extending on all sides and ends beyond the coating thus providing marginal spacings and fillets adapted to be applied in the spacings when the wall sections are removed, the surface of said fillets being substantially flush with the coating, substantially as set forth. I

3. A wall section for house building comprising a frame coated with boards on both sides, the edges of the frame extending entirely around and be 0nd both coatings, thus providing margina spacings and fillets adapted to be applied in the spacings when the wall sections are assembled, the surface of said fillets being substantially flush with the coatings, substantially as set forth.

4. Wall sections to be used in building each comprising a frame coated with boards, the surroundin edges of the frame extending beyond t e coating, thus providing marginal spacings, one frame being rectan gular, another square, and another triangular shape, the two first named bein adapted to be placed'upright close to each other to form the walls of the building, while the square or triangular sections are adapted to form the triangular parts of the gables of the building and fillets adapted to be applied in the spacings when the wallsections are assembled, the surfaces of said fillets being substantially flush with the coating substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two witnesses.
