j gVENTOR BY ORNEY My invention has Patented July 23, 1935 a I UNITED STATES BUILDING CONSTRUCTION John Frank Nieman, Stamford, Conn.
Application March 15,
6 Claims.
My invention relates to that class of buildings, the walls of which are constructed of brick, hollow tile, insulating blocks of cork or similar material with an outercoating of stucco. for its object to provide a reinforcing tie member which is adapted to be embedded in the mortar between the courses of the blocks, the tie member being so shaped that it will engage opposite sides of alternate studding. In this manner I am able to literally tie the building blocks to the studding so that there can be no lateral movement thereof as well as anchoring them against any outward movement.
A further object is to so construct that part of the reinforcing member which engages the studding, that it may be quickly and easily secured to the studding without any skilled labor being required for that purpose.
A further object is to provide a construction which can be readily secured to a steel I beam should that form of studding be employed.
A further object is to provide a tie member for use where blocks of cork or other insulating material is used, which will positively engage the outer surface of the blocks.
My means of accomplishing the foregoing objects may be more readily understood by having reference to the accompanying drawings which are hereunto annexed and are a part of this specification, in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a wall with oertian parts broken away for clarity, showing my device;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal cross section on line 2-2 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section of the same; Figs. 4 and 5 are a'vertical and horizontal cross section similar to Figs. 3 and 2 with the exception that an I beam is used;
Fig. 6 is a side elevation view of a modification of my device; and
Fig. 7 is a vertical cross section of the same.
Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the entire description.
As shown in the drawings, the wall, only a fragmentary portion of which is shown, consists of a plurality of brick 1, vertical studding. 2 and reinforcing tie members 3. These tie members are U shaped and have sufficient spread so that their arms 4 and 5 will straddle adjacent studding. The arms 4 and 5 are each provided with eyes'fi and 1 through which may pass nails 8.and 9 which are driven into the studs 2 on opposite sides when 4 they are of wood, thus anchoring the tie members against longitudinal movement; When the 1935, Serial No. 11,199
studding is formed of I beams 2' so that nails cannot be driven into them, I form the ends of the arms 4' and 5' asclearly shown at 6 and 1' in Figs. 4 and 5. These hooks are then caused to engage the steel I beams and thus the tie mem- 5 bers are anchored as securely as in the case where they are nailed in the Wooden studding. When hollow tile is used or blocks of cork insulation, it is desirable to form the cross members it of the U as shown in Figs. 6 and'l. In this construction 10 I form projections II and i2 which extend vertically from the cross member [9 and abut the outer surface it of the blocks I4. As these projections H and I2 extend in both upward and downward directions, it will be apparent to per- 15 sons skilled in the art that when the arms 4 and 5 are fastened to the studding that it is impossible for the blocks M to fall outwardly as long as the tie members are attached to the studding. It will be clear that I intend to have the reinforcing tie 20 members practically continuous since each one will be attached to one stud and extend to the adjacent one while the next one will overlap and thus in this manner extend the entire length of the wall. It will also be seen that they may be 25 placed in the mortar intermediate as many courses of the building blocks regardless of the material they are constructed ofas is desired. It has been found that when this construction is used, an exceedingly sturdy wall is formed with- 30 out materially increasing the expense. 7
Having described my invention what I regard as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. In a building construction, a wall having Vertical studding and. a plurality of building blocks, reinforcing tie members comprising a plurality of U shaped members, the arms of which are adapted to engage the opposite sides of adjacent studding, eyes on the ends of said arms through which securing means may be. driven into the studding, the remaining part-of said U shaped reinforcing members being adapted to lie intermediate the courses of said blocks. 2. In a building construction, a wall having ver- 45 tical studding and a plurality of building blocks, reinforcing tie members comprising a plurality of U shaped members, the arms of which are adapted to engage the opposite sides of adjacent studding, the remaining part of said U shaped reinforcing members being adapted to lie intermediate the courses of said blocks.
3. In a building construction, a wall having vertical studding and a plurality of building blocks formed of I beams, reinforcing tie mem- 5 ding, eyes on the ends of said arms through which securing means may be driven into the studding, the remaining part of said U shaped reinforcing members being adapted to lie intermediate the courses of said blocks, and extending beyond said blocks, vertical projections formed on said tie members which engage the outer surface of adjacent courses of said blocks.
5. In a building construction, a Wall having vertical studding and a plurality of building locks, reinforcing tie members comprising a plu- 5 rality of U shaped members, adapted to lie intermediate the courses of said blocks, the arms being secured to the studding whereby longitudinal movement of said reinforcing tie members is prevented. 1
6. In a building construction, a Wall comprising stationary 'ertical studding, formed of suitable materials, contacting with said studding, by means of anchors, embedded horizontally in the mortar bed of said suitable materials, and means 15 for cross'connecting the anchors to opposite sides of alternate stud.
