IMPROVEMENT IN CONSTRUCTJNG WALLS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,229, dated April 18, 1876; application filed March 13, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, PHILo A. KNAPP and IRA S. KNAPP, of Danbury, Fair-field county,
Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Construction of Houses, of which the following is a specification:
Our invention consists in the construction of the walls and partitions of houses and oth er buildings, of boxes without top and bottom, and filled with loose gravel or other approved filling material, the boxes being placed one upon another and tied, keyed, or otherwise fastened together and forming blocks, in imitation of stone or other building-blocks.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a wall constructed according to'our invention. Fig.2 is a plan of unfinished Walls and partitions,
' showing a top view of a course of blocks, and
Fig. 3 is a section of a box comprising, when filled with loose gravel or other material, one of the building-blocks.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the box having 4 sides, but neither top or bottom, the same being made of boards of wood, suitably fastened together in suitable size and shape for a building-block, which is to be used with others of like form, or
of such other form as may be preferred, for ornamental design, or for different parts of the building, the blocks being placed one on another in the manner of other buildingblocks, and being filled with any approved material, as loose gravel, coarse sand, and the like, and being keyed as at C or doweled or otherwise connected and fastened.
The foundation may be either stone or wood, as preferred.
