This invention relates to building andconstruction material and it refers more particularly to animprovedwall construction; as
well as to the methodof erecting thew'all and the principal object ofithe invention residesinthe provision of a wall comprised of blocks 'of concrete; or its equivalent,-of definite size and; shape and superimposed in .order that the joints will/be in staggered the invention has particular reference to the improved wall, its. salient features of 1. con-' relationship to form asuitable jbond, which, together with other new and novel elements; furnish the prerequisite of strength and durability of an exterior-wall construction, Another object of the invention'resides in the provision of an improved wall tie, re-: straining the blocks in position' and aiding.
in maintaining the required rigidity of the structure when assembled and during 7 such assembly.
'Brloadly, the invention comprehends a wall wherein the elements of which it composed are few and sim ple-and maybe operatively assembled by unskilled labor with effective results, yet when assembled, the wallcwill havethe strength and durability as. well asother qualities of the eon-e ventional brick wall, at a considerable reduction in cost as will become apparent presently.
With the foregoing objects as paramount,
'struction and arrangement of elements and spacers'and ties. v 1 7 I a a detail view of one of said:
spacer ties. a i :Figure 6 is amodified forrnof spacer tie to the method of. erecting the wall, which will become manifest as thedescription pro- -ceeds, taken in connection with the accompanying. drawings, wherein;
Figurel 1s aview' n perspective showing .fragmentarily; a wall constructed according.
to the methodhereiniset forth.
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional' view;
. Figure 3 is a vertical section showing a modified form of wall, i. e. a single wall as sembly desirable for interior'partitions. 1
Figure 4 is aplan view in horizontal sec tion showinglthe relative Figure 5 s a FigureS is a'detailview thew edge P iti n of th used v in the construction" I a double wall I UNITED-STATEs P 9 v a ROY rnxnnrrs, on DALLAS, mixes; AssIeNoR or ONE-m nor. n rnnnmeroiifor where the'inner tie rods are dispensed with. a
Figure 7V is a further view of Figure 6, and.
ployed'- Ifor.f renewing the tension upon the vertical tie rods preliminary to the applica-i. tiono-f the cementitious coating. 1
:The disadvantage found to exist ,inj'walls and partitions heretofore constructedf of plaster board, building blocks and similar materials is in the ineffectiveness of the ele-. ments employed for maintaining therigidityf of the structureto such degree that a, sub-" "stantial coating of plasterer cement could be, applied without danger of its cracking and" I crumbling when the .wall 'is subjected to; 1
blows orsevere jars. For this reason Chief-,
' ly,1th'at walls builtup ofblocks of material such as concrete, blocks of such nature as to,
requireithat they be bound bymeans other than mortar, have 'proven unsatisfactory; Accordingly, theinvention comprises. primarily a'block 1, which, as apparent in Fig? ures l and'2 is ofrectangular shape pref: erably' and is made intwo shapes, that'is.
to' say, in the block usedfor a doubleor thick wall, asexemplified in Figure, 1, the edges at both, upper, and lower sides offthe block are deflected at aforthe purposeshereinafter explained. In the single -wall structure shown in Figure 3 however, the;
block has, its "contiguous edges supporting the weight-deflected on either side, parent, and indicated also at a. I
- It is apparent thereforethat thei blocks' l when placed in the relationship shown in F igure'2, provide. an intermediate air space i at-A. This type'of' structure afforded by s the invention is 'desirablewa's exterior walls,
ture, which usual brick-"wall absorbs, which" accumulates upon the inner surface of the wall, creating an" undesirable condi-,
w i h new @1 1 ,fii h i r e il ewf I due to their efiectiveness in modifying the interoir heat in summer and cold in winter, 1
1 asl' well as preventingthevingress ofmois- 7 -1. I
tion")?Inthe presentin'vention, the inner i :wall remainsfcomparatively' dry fand', by,v w:
is not loosened or deteriorated by the effects of such moisture.
It is noted that the blocks 1 of one assembly are disposed so that the joints are overlapping and the blocks of the adjacent assembly forming the complete wall, are
. disposed so thatthe-joints alternate with those of the other assembly. The deflected edges of the blocks being .alined, a horizontal "groove occurs at each horizontal oint and in which groove is disposed a t1'e' rod 2, held secured by the spacer tie 3, illustrated in detail in Figure 5.
The spacer tie 3, asapparentmin Figure 5' is formed preferably of one piece of metal, the ends beingoverlapped to'define vloops Z), and when completed, the body of the tie has three thicknesses of metal through which is punched holes a. As apparent in Figure 4, these holes receive the inner'ver-tical rods 5, while the loops 6 receive the horizontal rods 2 reposlng inthe grooves formed in thehorizontal joints of the blocks.
5 which rods are tied to the horizontal rods 2 by means of agcommon wire tie'7, shown -part1cularly 1n Flgure 4.
f Itfwill be noted also that vertical rods 6 are provided for thecoutside surface of the assembly asan added strengthening agent,
In erecting the wall shown infFigure l,
' the first row of blocks are laid and the second course is :arranged in overlapping,
fsuperimposed relationship, after havlng tain rigidity of the structure.
"first'arranged the horizontal rods 2, upon which is applied the ties 3. As each assembly progresses, the tie rods and ties are arranged in position, the vertical rods 5 and 6 being applied as is necessary to mainmaximum tension-on the rods 6 to furthe'r reinforce the structure, a wedge 8, shown in detail in F1gure 8 1s dr1ven between the r block 1 and the vertical rods 6, as apparent Ibility of any laxness in the "rods, which in Figures 1 and 4. 1 In this manner, possi might ultimately allow the blocks '1. to be displaced, is eliminated.
f After the structureis completed, a suit- 'able finish is applied to the surface to conceal the rods and (land the groovein which the rod 2 reposes. F
It is apparent that the finish coat, usually;
,of acementitious nature, may be very efi'ec bo-ltiv'ely applied by what is generallyknown to the art as a cement gun.
' "In the'single wall or partition structure shown in Figure 3, the mechanical tie elementshown in Figure 5 is modified, inrthat the holes tare eliminated as unnecessary.
The loops 6 secure the horizontal rods 2 in the same manner as in the double wall or exterior wall structure, and the vertical rods 6 are applied to either side of the structure and tied in the identical manner as the previous structure.
A modified form of spacer tie-is shown in Figures 6 and 7, consisting of a piece of metal die stamped todefinecircular ends 9,. which have ano'pening 1O punched therein and areturned at right angles to the body of the element. The metal remaining after forming the circular ends is turned in opposite directions as shown at 11. This element is designed to replace the tie 3. in Figure 5, as well as the inner rods 5, in View of the fact that the members 11 of the element lie flush with the inner surfaces of the walls as does the rods 5, thereby holding'the blocks intact. The apertured ends 9 however receive the horizontal rods 2 inthe same man ner as the other form of tie described.
It may be menti'oned'at this point that some contractors desire that the exterior vertical rods 6 be situated at the joints instead of intermediate the'joints as shown in Figure 1. In anticipation of this, the tie shown in Figure 5-is recessed at 0 to receive the verticalgrod when so placed, in order that a tie, such as shown at 7 may be made to join the two rods 2 and 6 together with out interference by the member Manifestly, the construction shown is capableof considerable modification and such modificationas is considered in keeping with the appended claims is also considered within the spirit andinten't'of the invention.
What is claimed is c 1. A spacer tie for wallforming members composed ofan integral metal strip having a transverserod receiving'eye adjacent one end and having thef rpart of the strip adj acent said eye'engaged with the latter and formed with a second rod-receiving eye which latter is spaced from the edge of the said strip end, the otherend of the strip being engaged with the said part of the strip adjacent to the first eye and having its end" edge spaced from the latter. v
2. spacer tie forfwall forming members composed of an integral metal strip having a transverse rod-receiving eye adjacent one end and having the part of thestrip adja-.
cent said eye engaged with the latter and formed with a second rod-'receivingeye, the
other end of the strip. being engaged with the said first eye. I V V 3. A spacer tie for wall forming members composed of an integral metal strip having a transverse 'rod-rece1v1ng eye ad acent one end and havlng the part of thestrip'ad jacent' said eye engaged with the latter: and formed with a second rod-receiving eye,;tne
other end of the strip being engaged with partof-the stripadjacent to the the said part of the strip adjacent to the first eye, each of the eyes having a transverse cutout therein to receive vertical rods.
