This invention relates to wall constructions and particularly to the blocks used in constructing the wall and the method of reinfor-cement between said blocks.
The principal object of my invention is to provide a wall composed of blocks, each block composing two pressed units held in spaced relation to each other by angle braces, hav.-
, ving turned back end portions imbedded in the respective units.
Arfurther object is to provide suitable grooves in the outer circumference of the units forming the blocks of my wall, in which grooves reinforcement rods may be imbedded between the block units during the build in of the wall.
TVith the foregoing and other objects in view, aswill appearas the description proceeds, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of co-operating elements as hereinafter more specifically set forth, claimed' and shown in the accompanying drawings forming a part of the present application, in which:
' Fig. l is a perspective View of the pre ferred embodiment of my invention, part being broken away to more clearly show the one end of one of the angle braces.
, Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the preferred embodiment of my angle braces.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the different views.
many different compositions are used for making building blocks and I do not wish to limit this application to any particular, composition, as any of the preferred composi 1 formed units 3and' 4. When I say separately formed units, I do not wish to intimate that the units 3 and'tmight not be pressed at the same operation as no doubt a method would be devised wherein two units will be I am well aware that at, thepresent time,
at right angles to the main preferred embodiment of my imply is earthsmassage ntei egigi. .1 '5 is angle braces with'one end imbedded in each" 0f the units. 3 and Preferably, I' provide I v v hic'rhRibra'ces. "will 5 be suitably spaced apart aiid preferably the uprightportion of each of 'two'of such'bra'cesbetween each pair of units,
jsaid angle braces is upright in par'allel relation to" the endsof; the units, "while the hori- 'Each: endportion thusformed is bent at an-angle, preferably atright anglesto its main portion of the angle brace. In
Fig. 2 it will be noted that these end portions 6 and 7 are directed at right angles to each other and when imbedded in-this position in p the units 8 and 4,'they provide avery strong and durable connecting brace for holding these units in spaced alignmentparallel with each other.
Around the outer edges ofthe units-3 and r 4:, I provide a bottom and opposite ends. may be used foreifecting greater binding between the units when mortar or'other binding'composition is used when building the wall. This groove may also be used for imbedding rods 9 between rows of blocks.' As' groove 8, running along the top,
This groove shown in Fig. :1, the rods 9overlap the end oints between the meeting ends of the blocks and thus provide a very strong reinforced joint. In this particular construction, with i the rods 9, mortar is filled in between the ends of the respective blocks. If found de H sirable, vthe'ends of the rods might be turned so that one'end as at 10 wardly between-the ends in one row of blocks, while the oppositeend '11, turned in an opposite direction, will protrudedownwardly between the ends of two of the units in the row of blocks imm'ediately'beneath. 1 i
Any desirable kindfof filler may be filled in between the units, such as mineral wool, dry shavings or other-such insulating ma-' will protrude upterial. pressed at the same time. What I wish to The ordinary brick, hollowtile or cement v of two of the units portion thereof,
block, as are in common use, do not'provide arwarm Wall. In all of them, there is a heavy sectionof conducting material which carries the cold from the outer part of the Wall to the inner part. In my block, I-provide very Without departing fromthescoped the in- 7 3;) tionbetween said Wall units; the opposite ends ofltheyrespective flanges'of said braces being bent outwardly: substantiallyin parallel alignment with each other; one, set of r V such ends being imbeclclecl inhorizontal rela tionship in said units and the other set, of
such ends being. imbedded in vertical relationship in seiclunits V V In testimony whereof- I'aifixmy signature.
