SIDE ANI) WALL OF SECTIONAL BUILDINGS.

Application led May 8,

into one symmetrical whole without connecting or sectional lines being visible.

Another object of the/invention is to provide for strengthening the panels or sections by means of studding arranged to cross the panels and secured to them.

Another object of the invention is to pro. vide corner posts which overlap the meeting ends of the walls. j

Another object of the invention is to provide for applying insulating or non-conducting material to the interior of the panels or sections.

Having thus stated the nature and object of the invention, I will proceed nowto eX- plain the same in detail and Vfinally claimthe same.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, .in theseveral figures of which like part-s are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a perspectiveview illustrating two of the panels or sections and studding, and indicating the manner of connecting them. Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of one of the corner posts. Fig. 3 is 'a horizontal section, on a larger scale, of one corner illustrating the manner 'of assembling a side Wall and an end wall and the corner post. Fig. 4 is a vertical section,al'so on a larger scale, and broken out. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary vertical section illustrating the use of my y invention with lap-siding. Fig. 6 isa section of the lower part lof a' panellike that shown in Figs. 3 andr 4Q 1 y The lower'panel or section is made of a continuous sill 1 and a Vplate 2, vand the sill and vplate are connected by vvertically-arranged studding `3," nailed or otherwise secured to the sill and' plate.

' The upper section is composed of a bottom plate 4 and a top plate 5, and thesev two are connected by the vertical studding 6 secured. to them by nailing orotherwise.

In case a door or window is to be inserted, then the plates 2.and 4 are divided to leavethe opening 7, vthe bottom of thev opening, fer a window,- having a sill 8 connected 192s. seriaiNo. 107,614.

with the sill 1 by a studding 9, and a top 10 connected by astudding 11 with the plate i 5, the parts 8, 9, 10 and 11 being'connected with the adjacent parts'by nailingl or otherwise.

' Panels or sections constructed as above described .may be used inv any number and of any size to securethe proper height and width or larea of walls or other parts of the building.

rThe panels are connected, preferably, by means of bolts 12, passed through holes in the plates 2 and 4, and nutsv 13y are applied to the bolts, as indicated in Figs. 4 and 5.v

In order toV strengthen the structure formed of the thus assembled panels, I use the studding members 14, preferably of av length equal to thev height of the assembled panels. or sections,'and secured to them by nails or other fastenings 15, driven into the sills and plates and studding 3, as indicated j Vin Fig. 4, and similar studding 16 may be secured to the adjacent parts at they openings.

For connecting the meeting ends of side and end walls, forexam'ple, ask illustrated in Fig. 3, I use the corner posts shown in that figure and in Fig. 2, andthesecorner posts are composed of the uprights 17, of substantially the same dimensions incross-section las the studding S-.and 6, andhI provide. the uprights 17 on adjacent edgeswith the strips 18 extending beyondthe uprights 17, soA as to overlap the end studding in the side and end walls and thereby conceal the joints. VThe adjacent ends 'of the corner posts between the side pieces 18 may be. lilled in with any suitable material and in any suitableway, as indicated at 19.V

The meeting edges ot the panels or sections may be concealed Vbyan external covering, which as-shown on Fig. 4,mayV be of plastic material20-having thevlapv joint 21 below the line of junctionof t-he panels, or

`if lap-siding be used, then thje lowercourse 22 mayhave its upper edge in line `with the course 23 above, may overlap the'course 22, as shown in Fig. 5.'. i Y kThe construction herein shown lends itselt` to a variety of inside as well as outside n'- ishing, For example,` as shown in Figs. 3 and 4,l the uprightsor studding 3 may have applic/.dito them on the 'outside 'any suitable. material, such as tar paperwor building board 24s and urri'ng stripsl 2&3, preferably V3o j it may be nailed or screwed to it` as at 36,

tion on the sides` and ends. be

made with beveled edges, and any suitable insulating or non-conducting material 26 may be poured on the material 2e betweenl the turring pieces and allowed to harden be- Jfore the panels are assembled, and then any suitable fabricated` wire or expanded metal 27 may be laid over this and secured in place, and then the outside finishoic` stucco or other plastic material. Q8, may be spread upon or otherwise applied to the metal porlore the panels are lifted 'from the term or assembled in .a wall. AThe corner posts may have theV metal portion 29 and plastic overlapping finish 3() applied to them as shown in Fig. Or lap-siding may be applied. Oi' .the insulatin or non-conducting material be omitted, and the lap-siding' applied directly to the panels. as indicated in Fig. 5.

lt will be understood that the side and end walls and their corner 'posts will be connected, as by screws 3l and as indicated in 3, holes beingmade in the end stnddingl pieces tor the passage ot the screws or fastenings, such holes being shown at 33 and 34 in Fig. l.

lt will be understood that the walls may be erected upon suitable support or foundation. ln Figi'. 6 l have indicated a sill or joist at to receive the lower panel, and

Y .or otherwise tastened or anchored in place.

As shown in Fifi. 6, the inner liningl com-- `prisingr the studdingi` lll, may, rest on an end sill 37 which maybe iiush'fhorizontally with the sill l, and it may also have a top plat-e 38, which may project a 'fraction ot an inch, more or less, inside ot the level oi the stndding and also a' fraction ot an inch above thetop plate, inforder properly to rerceivethe rootl niembers,"as shown in 4l.

While l have described several outside iinishes, itis to be understood that the invention' is not'limited to these, and other variations in the details 'ot construction are permissibleavithin theprinciple ot the invention and the scope ot the claims following."

What l claim iscj l. A sectional wall, composed ot a pluralA ity of panels constructed ot horizontal plates and upright stnddiiipg ri,-dly unitedone ot said panels havinp; a continuons sill, and means to conceal the meetingends ofi-said panels. 1' f 2. A'sectional wall, comprising` a seiies ot panels eacli framed ot vertical studdint and horizontal plates rigidly connected and having the stndding and plates et adjacent panels Jfastened together, and. vertical stnddingr the series of panels and connected with the members of the panels on the inner side of the wall.

3. A sectional wall, composed of a plu-l extending across the series of panels and connected with the members of the panels on the inner side of the wall. and finishing material applied to the panels onk the outside and to the stndding; on the inside and adapted to concealvall joints.V

5. A sectional wall, provided with panelsvv framed ot' horizontal plates and end and intermediate vertical stndding rigidly connected, the panels being` united plate-t0V plate and end studding-to-end studding, and

corner posts interposedy between the end' studding' ot adjacent walls and having portions overlapping" said stndding of both wallsand concealing the joints between said side and end walls.

6. Asectional wall, comprising aseriesoic panels, each framed of vertical studding and horizontalplates rigidlyconnected. a lining applied thereto, fnrringV applied to the pla-tes, and plastic insulating. material poured on the lining,r and between thefnrr-` ing oetithepanels before assembling-the panels in a wall. f
