`BY t z z ATTORNEY PatentedfAug. l, 1933 PATENT l This invention, stated in its broadest terms, re- ;lates to a building structure and hasimoreesper,cial relation 'to a wall, partition, and ceiling structure in whichso-call'ed plaster boards of waterproofedl type are employed. l

c One object of the present invention maybe said to reside in the provision ofwater-proofed plaster boards of the type which have a covering of paper which paper( upon the 4rear face of the plaster Aboard I treat with a water-proofing composition and thereafter apply a coating of asphaltum paint y to render the entire Vstructure lnon-porous to resist moisture, dampness, andy the like.

` Another object of the present invention is to provide a plaster board of the character stated in which I apply to the paper upon the front face of the plaster board a coating of iire resisting material which renders the paper porous in character.

vOther and further objects of the present in vention reside in the provision of a general ar` rangement, combination and connection of parts for attaining the results sought by the foregoing objects. 1

The invention consists of the novel construction hereinafter described and finally claimed.

The nature, characteristic features and scope of .the invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof,

and in which:. l -1 Fig. 1 is a View partly in section and partly in lelevation illustrating a ceiling and wall structure embodying the invention. l Y' Fig. 2` isa fragmentary view in elevation showing the front faces of the plaster boards.

For the purpose of illustrating my invention I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof whichis at present preferred by me, since the same has been found in practiceto` give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which iiy invention consists can be variously lventionalplaster board of the typewhich is comprised of a water proofing plaster composition having a covering of paper. According to the present invention I first treat the paper covering upon the back` of a plaster-board with a suitable composition having water-proofing characteris- `tics and thereafter apply to said water-proofed portion of `the paper a coating of asphaltum paint. The asphaltum paint may be applied in either a heated or cooled condition.V This treatment renders the rearface of the 4plaster board non-porous to guard against the penetration of To the front face of the paper covering ,the plaster board I apply a nre resisting composition which renders porous the front face of the paper covering the plaster board. Not only is the plaster board thereby rendered water-proof and fire-proof in l character, but it also provides a very eicient,

strong, and sound resisting plaster board.

In the drawings, and referring to Fig. 1, the reference numeral 1 designates a conventional plaster board` composed of a plaster composition possessing water-proofing characteristics;

The composition 2 is provided with a covering of paper 3. The paper covering the rear portion of the plaster board I treat with any suitable mate- Qrial to render the same Water-proofing in character and thereafter apply a coating 4 of asphaltum j face. of the plaster block 1, I treat with a compol l orifice i arranged and organized and that my invention is roo sition to render the same fire resisting in character and at the same time render the frontl face of the plaster board porous in contradistinction to the rear face of the plaster board whichis-nonporous. In practice the moisture resisting andy had more particularly to Figs. l to 4. vThe reference numeral 5 designates the wall of abuilding. The reference numeral 6 designates a vertically disposed beam spaced apart from the wall 5, to provide an air space 7.` The reference numeral 8 designates a horizontally arranged beam supported at itsends by the wall 5. Those plaster boards 1 which are vertically disposedl are secured to thebeamk 6 bothfat the oorand ceiling `line by means of. clips best seen in Fig'. 3.

Each clip is stamped from a single piece of sheet "niet'al and has struck out therefrom ears 9,110,v Aand 11 for .engaging around a plaster board, see Figli, U-shapedfashion'. The body portion 12 of the clip is cutaway at 13 to engage around the lbeamG and is provided with a-wing 14 for abutting against the rear of the beamv 6, a struckout part 15"'being present for: preventingthe clip from slipping. Adjacent plaster boards 1 have Each Fclip is formedffrom a single ypiece of sheet metal r and hasy struck out therefroil oppositely y disposed' lingers -16,` 17, and V18 having serrated' endsfor engaging a plaster board.

Arranged for passage through the lapertures 23 isfaV round' rod"25, see Fig. l.' Each rod 25 hasla hooked end 26 for engaging beyond anaperture`r-23 and the opposite end'is provided with` a lprong 25T varran'gedto b egvdriven int`o a plaster boarcLthe rod serving to thus hold a" pair of boards in position.Y Arranged tov engagev apertures, 274

ofthe'pl'aster boards are .fiat members 28'the hooked end ;29"of'v ay member 28. engaging beyond an aperture 24 and the opposite or pointed end -30 being -a'ranged to 'be driven intoa plaster Yboard'.' Therods 25 and *members 2,8 .are disposed inparallelism and extend at an angle with respect f tothe abutting ends or edges `of the plaster boards. In Fig. 6, I have shown a structure in which each plaster board 1 vertical rods 31 which are concealed and upon the face of each board are exposed horizontal rods 32, the rods being formed of wire and being continuous. Free ends 33 of the wires 31 are left at certain places and at other places the wires 32 are cut so that companion plaster. boards maybe secured together by tying the wires as at'34.

Having placed the ceiling and wall plaster boards in position, plaster. 28 is added which is shown in Fig. 1. All of the clips may be stamped fromasingle piece of metal and the clips shown Fig.3 may be apertured as at 29 so that nails'may be driven therethrough for engagement With-the plaster boards.

In the above described plaster board I rst forma plaster board of plaster paris in the proportion of about in bulb and add about 10% of powdered cork and labout 10% of asbestos. When" mixingV the above ingredients with Water Il add' about 20%*of "calcium chloride to render the nished plasterboartl impervious to water.'-

I am aware that the invention may be embodied in other specic forms without departing frornthe spirit or essential attributes thereof,`

and I therefore desire thepi'esent embodiment to be'considered inall respects as' illustrative and not restrictive, reference-being had to the ap-i pended claim rather "than tol thev foregoing descrption toindientethe scope of the invention. fitted therebetween the clips best seen in Fig. 4.
