JOHN D. TAYLOR, or LOS ANGELES, oALrFoRnin;
TIE FORBINDING SPACED WALLS TOGETHER.
Application filed October 2, 1920. Serial-No. 41 1,2662
To all whom 2'25 may cancer 12:, n
Be it known that I, JOHN .D. TAYLOR, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ties for Binding Spaced lValls Together, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to ties for spaced walls of buildings having an air space to insulate against transfer'of heat and moisture from side to side of'the walls, and an object of the invention is to provide a novel, simple, strong and inexpensive tie for holding said walls in spaced relation.
An object is to provide superior and novel means for holding walls in spaced relation.
The invention includes the improvement in the building art of binding such walls together and the various parts and combina tions of parts and features of'novelty hereinafter more specifically described and claimed.
It is understood that the wall may be made of blocks of any desired dimensions and shapes and that said blocks may be of any appropriate material, glazed or unglazed, and provision. is made for placing reinforcements of metal or other material where desired.
The invention is applicable to flat and dome ceilings and to floors and for making water tanks, silos and the like.
Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detail description and the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention.
Figure 1 is a fragmental perspective view of a wall of a building constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmental sectional elevation on line indicated at :0 Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmental plan of the structure shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmental elevation in section on line 00 Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a transverse fragmental plan in section on line indicated at :12 Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a fragmental detail of the upper edge of one of the concrete blocks.
Fig. 7 is a detached view of one of the ties.
Fig. 8 is a fragmental plan of two of the grooves at the notches 5.
blocks united and showing in place a longitudinal tie rod which is-also shown in Figs. 1,2,3,iand5. 3
Fig. 9 is a fragmentalperspective view of one of the'corner blocks.
' The blocks 1 in the main body of the wall are plain sided'slabs, each provided entirely around. its edges with a groove.2 so that when edges of two blocks are brought together either end to end or bottom to top of the block, with like sides of the block in common planes, the grooves in the abutting edges of the blocks will form a channel to contain a poured cement filler and binder, and when the blocks are laid edge to edge and end to end inwall form as indicated in Fig. 1, the channels will entirely surround the edges of any block which is entirely surrounded by abutting blocks in the wall.
The faces 3 of they blocks at the sides of the grooves 2 slope inwardly from the side faces a so that the abutting edges of the blocks will contact only near the side faces a of the blocks, thus forming outwardly narrowing extensions 4 from the channels formed by the grooves 2 into which extensions the liquid cement will flow when the binder is poured. 1
Each block is provided in one of its faces 3 with one or more tie receiving notches 5 into which a tie 6 of any suitable material may be laid sotha-t the ends of the tie will extend inside the grooves and the middle portion of the tie will. extend across the space between the two tiers of theblocks as tier Z2 and tier 0.
The tie 6 comprises a bridge 7 provided with a. central. spacer 8 and two end extensions or legs 9 having feet 10 extending outwardly from said legs, said end extensions being bent at an angle to said bridge and extending downwardly and outwardly from said bridge to conform between spacer 8 and its ends, to the block edges and Said tie material and the notches are. of equal depth so that when the ties are in place, their top faces are on a level with the outer edges 11 of the tops of the blocks.
The invention is not confined to specific dimensions but in the wall shown it may be assumed that each of the main blocks 1 is 24 inches in length, 12 inches in height and 2 inches in thickness.
In order to break the joints between superposed blocks, reduced blocks "12 are provided; the same being grooved around the edges in a manner corresponding to that described for the blocks 1; and the corner blocks 13 have extensions 14 which have vertical grooves 15 in one side of the block instead of at the end.
In practical construction a suitable foundation 16 of concrete or other desired material will be laid, preferably having an absolutely flat and level top surface 17; and the first bottom course of blocks will be two tiers of blocks laid so that the blocks of each tier will be parallel with the blocks of the other tier. Care is taken that the tie notches 5 are alined with each other to receive the ties, then the ties are laid in such notches and the second course of the two tiers is laid. At appropriate times when the re quired number of blocks have been thus laid, any exposed lower terminals of the channels formed by the grooves will be stopped temporarily by any blocking means such as a stopper or the linger oi the operator, long enough to prevent How of liquid cement from the channels; and the liquid hydraulic cement will be poured into the channels to [ill the same. The liquid cement will. also fill the small channel extensions thus bonding the blocks together. The liquid cement quickly hardens and the wall is thus made integral from bottom to top as the work proceeds.
The tie rods 18 may be applied at intervals as eesired in one or more of the channels, and may be bent at the corners so as to be continuous throughout any section ot the wall that is in accordance with the purposes of the constructor so as to give the wall additional strength. It is understood that the rods thus bent form angle irons for holding the corners and that any form of angle iron desired may be employed without departing from the spirit of this inrention.
The ties are preferably of sheet metal or other strong material stamped or molded into form con'iprising a bridge to span the space between the two parallel tiers of blocks, and a spacer secured to and depending fromv said bridge and adapted to abut against the inner faces of said blocks, and with end extensions bent to engage the blocks at a distance from said spacers; that is to say, to engage the channel blocks inside the channels.
I claim. r
1. In a wall construction, a tie for binding spaced walls together consisting of a strip of sheet metal the central portion of which forms a bridge, flanges on said bridge for spacing the walls apart, and extensions on the ends of the strip in spaced relation to said flanges bent at an angle to the strip and adapted to fit in channels in said walls.
2. A tie for binding spaced walls together comprising a bridge, a spacer secured to said bridge and adapted to engage the inner faces of said walls, end extensions extending downwardly and outwardly "from said bridge, and feet extending outwardly from said end extensions, said end extensions and feet being adapted to fit in channe-ls in said walls.
3. In awall construction, a tie for binding spaced walls together comprising a sheet metal stamping bent to form a bridge, a spacing member integral with and depending from said bridge and adapted to space said walls apart, and end extensions bent to engage the spaced walls at a distance from said spacing member.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at IJOS Angeles, California, this 22nd day of September 1920.
