UNITED STATES PATENT C LEWIS S. FILBERT, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, AN M. HOFFMAN, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUM IM PROVEMENT lN WOOD-PAVEMENTS.
Specification forming partof Letters Patent No. 163.758, dated May 25, 1875 app Api-n o, 1875.
To all whom -zt may concern:
Be it known that we, LEWIs S. FILEERT, ofPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, and LINDLEY M. HOFFMAN, of Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wood-Pavements; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
Our invention relates to pavements made of round Wooden blocks 5 and it consists in a round-block pavement With a vulcanite plastic filling and covering of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in whieh- Figure 1 is a plan View otl our pavement, and Fig. 2 is a side view ofthe same.
A represents a foundation made of broken stone, sand, or vulcanite, and properly rolled or packed. Upon this foundation are laid round wooden blocks B B, made of either locust, chestnut, cedar, or any other suitable and durable wood. These blocks should be of about the same length, but the size of their diameter is immaterial. They are laid on end upon the foundation A, and the spaces between them lled with plastic vulcanite concrete,
marked C, and the top of the with the same, so as to [ill stices, and make a perfectly n ment, said top-dressing bein,` the drawing.
In the round-block pavemen laid, the blocks will work lo water in, thereby causing the 1 a displacement of the blocks, upheaval ot' the pavement in t year.
This difficulty is entirely o mode of laying the pavement ite filling C, in hardening, com solidly and irmly together, ai. top-dressing D also unites v and filling, forming one solid n the water from passing throng blocks.
Having thus fully describe what We claim as new, and des Letters Patent, is-
A round-block pavement p vulcanite plastic filling and coi tially as herein set forth.
In testimony that we claim tl have hereunto set our hands April, 1875.
