BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed January 7, 1928. Serial No. 245,118.-
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in building constructions and particularly to the construction of walls, roofs, floors and such like parts. The obsets of the invention are to provide walls or roofs which will have high non-conducting qualities, and which will be'durable, damp proof, and relatively inexpensive to build.
A further object is to provide a tile which will be light in construction and easy to handle and place in position.
According to my invention I provide a tile, the sides of which are tapered and the top of which is provided with a layer of cork. The
tiles are laid on suitable supporting members and reinforcing and clip bars are mounted between them. The tiles are recessed to provide shoulders which engage with the sides of the supporting member to hold said tiles in place. The space between the tiles is filled in with concrete or cement grout, and cork strips are pressed between the cork layer on the top of the tile before the filler is set, so that said strips adhere thereto. The joints are stepped so that there is no direct passage through the roof, wall, or the like. The clips engage with the supports to hold the tile in place.
In the drawings which illustrate my invention Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved tile used in forming roofs, walls, and the like.
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 22 Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional end elevation taken on the line 33 Figure 1.
Figure 4 is an end elevation of a roof constructed according to my invention.
Figure 5 is a front elevation of the roof shown in Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a perspective plan of the roof shown in Figure 4. I
Figure 7 is a perspective View of my improved roof clip.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 11 designates the base of the tile and is.
preferably made of rectangular form. The sides 12 and ends 13 slope upwardly from the base so that the lower surface is larger than the area of the upper surface.v The base is made of cementitious material and when said base is in its plastic state, a substantially thick piece 14 of cork is pressed into the upper sur- 7 face. The cork is made of rectangular form and is slightly smaller in area than the upper surface of the base. WVhen the base sets, the cork adheres to the upper surface.
In Figures 4, 5 and 6, I have shown a roof built of the tiles. The tiles rest on the roof purlins 15, with their lower edges close together forming V-shaped spaces 19 between their edges. The edges resting on the purlins are provided with shoulders 14 to position the tile while erecting the roof. Reinforcing bars-'16 of iron or steel are placed in the V-shaped spaces. Small bar clips 17 of book form are placed in the spaces and are adapted to engage the edges of the purlins to prevent the tiles from upward movement. A ceinentitious filler 18, such as cement grout or concrete, is poured into the spaces 19. Before the filler sets or hardens, cork filler strips 20 are pressed between the edges of the cork coverings 14. When the filler sets, it looks the reinforcing bars which extend longitudinally and transversely of the roof in place to strengthen the joints. It also locks the hooked bar clips or positioning members in place in contact with the edge of the purlins and the filler strips or cork adhere to the plastic material, so that the whole upper surface of the roof is covered with cork, or such like insulating means. The cork filler strips, it will be seen, rest on ledges extending on each side of the V-shaped spaces, so that there is no direct vertical joint between the outer and inner surfaces of the roof. The tiles are made of comparatively light construction and are easily handled and placed in position. The recesses in the base of the tiles position same on their supporting means, or purlins, and facilitate the erection of the roof, wall, or the like. Vvhen the concrete filler is poured into the spaces and sets, it joins the tiles together and forms a continuous base of concrete. The cork secured to the tiles and to the filler forms a continuous corkcovcringfor the roof and forms an insulator which provents the passage of heat through the roof.
Roofs as herein described are particularly useful for buildings wherein the temperature within any room is to be kept constant, and free from the effects of change in temperature outside the walls thereof.
It will be understood that the shape of the base may be altered to suit any desired conditions, but my preferred form is shown in the accompanying drawings.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In building construction, a tile of rectangular form with its sides and ends bevelled, the-stile hating-recesses in its base along the ends thereof, and a rectangular sheet of cork secured to the upper surface of the tile, said cork being of less area than said upper surface.
2. In building construction, a plurality of tiles mounted on supports and shaped to form V-shaped joints between them, rectangular sheets of cork of less area than the top of the tile and secured thereto, a ceinentitious filler in the V-shaped joints and cork filler strips resting on the tiles between the cork sheets and held in place by the ceinentitious tiller.
3. In building construction, a plurality of tiles resting on supports, inezins formed in the tiles for positioning them on the sup ports, said tiles being placed close together and forming V-shaped joints between them, rectangular sheets of cork of l s area than the tops of the tiles and adln 1g thereto, reinforci-ng bars extending the full length of the joints, cernentitious filling means between the tiles and surrounding the reinforcing bar, and cork filler strips resting on the tiles between ;the sheets of cork and adhering to the ports and positioned thereon by recesses formed in the tile bases, said tiles forming Vshaped joints between them, a rectangular sheet oi? cork of less area than the top oit'eace tile and adhering thereto, reinforcing rods positioned within the V oints, holding down bars secured to the supports and extending into the fVsha1i)ed joints, cenientitieus filling means between the tiles and engagingv with the reinforcing rods and the holding-down bars, and cork filling strips resting on the tiles between the sheets of cork and adhering to the ceinentitious filler.
in witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
