The invention comprises means whereby al bed, which I call a severer, is placed and retained between the base of a building and its's: solid foundation, the severer being compose-d1@ In the accompanying .drawings in conjunc-x, tion with which the invention w1ll be vde-V` scribed,
Figs; l, 2 and 3 are part vertical sectional elevations illustrating different forms of the invention.
In carrying out the invention,
sand, earth or the like, and upon this severer the building 2 is erected with a sole plate` 2aapproximately of the same area asthe platform.
The platform l is laid yupon any ordinary foundation 4 such as solid ground, piles or other formation orstructure. i y
The platform 1 is providedwith a rim la around its periphery for retaining the severer 3, which has -a depth equal to the depth of the "'5- rim la, and is screeded oil' to make a level surface.
The severer 3 is covered over with building paper 5 or the like which will prevent oo na space is left all round between the building and the rim.
from the top and inside yof the rim la. In? forder to formfthislrebat'e, a layer of sand or crete when being laid from adhering to the The sole. plateQaV constructedof reinforced concrete is laid 'on the: building paper v5 covform the door ofthe bottomstore lVhere it is necessary to step tlie foundations 4 fromonelevelto another in order to conform lto the configuration of the ground, walls "Zl are constructedto form a continuay tion `of the lsolegplate 2afrom one level to the next, with a space ySbetween said walls 7 and the' walls la of the platform. ,V At each higher level a rim alis' formed to prevent the severer 3 fallin into the space 8 between the `Walls,the ad]acent parts of the sole plate 2a bein recessed' at 9 over the rims 7 a.`
lV ere 'it isrequired to constructV the buildfingV 2 adjacent-to an existing building so that there-will not be la space .between the buildiings, a projecting rim pla is not possible, but :instead the Wall of the building 2 is formed with 4alrebate' 10 so that it sits over the rimY la 1 Figl.s2),l;fsaid rebate 10 being spaced away the like which will lform a parting, is-laid upon-the surfaceofthe rim la, the parting being held on the outside by the adjacent building, and on the inner side by thin sheet,y metal, Wood strips, or the like, which arel afterwards removed. This parting is removed later through holes 1l leading from the surface of thesole plate to the rebate. A vacuum exhaust is applied to the holes 11 af-f` ter the concrete walls have set and the parting thereby drawn out. Where it is desired to make the wall sit over the rim la as just described, but there is no adjacent building, strips of sheet iron, wood or the like are placed on the outside of the rim la as Well as inside for the purpose of retaining the parting, in which case the parting may be any suitable material which can be readily removed.

asphalt between. Instead of building paper, ie
venting the concrete from adhering to the severer.
The foundation as above described, forms a damp course over the whole area of the base of the building, and spreads the weight of the building over the whole area, and does not exceed the cost in many cases of foundations .and'ground or ybasement floor.
What I dopclaim and desire to obtain by. l ci Letters Patent of the United States of America is `4` Y l. Means for the purpose set forth, comprising a platform laid upon'V a` foundation and integrally formed. with an Y upwardly projecting rim; a layer of loose material on said platform and retained yloy vrthe .rim there- 3 A. of toforln Yalbed for-a building between i whicliand saidl rim a space is provided, and'- fthe" rim Iat the juncture withthefbase being .provided `I withv Ldrainage `openings, inclined downwardly from the `upper surface .of the base. 1- Y 1 2.
