Description
v May 23, 1939.
R. R. CLARK WALL Filed April 14, 1958 2 Sheets-Sheet l Inventor Java/207% M Attorneys R. R. CLARK WALL Filed April 14, 1938 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Attorneys Patented May 23, 1939 UNIT FATENT ()FFICE 5 Claims.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in wall structures for various types of buildings and has for one of its important objects to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a structure of this character which will be weather-proof under substantially all conditions and which embodies a novel arrangement of air chambers for insulating and other purposes.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a wall structure of the aforementioned character comprising a shingle veneer, the shingles comprising a novel construction whereby they may be expeditiously but firmly and permanently secured in position.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a wall structure of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured and constructed at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of one of the shingles.
Figure 3 is a sectional view, showing slightly modified shingles mounted on another type of wall.
Figure l is a perspective View of one of the shingles shown in Fig. 3.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, and Figs. 1 and 2 thereof in particular, it will be seen that the reference numeral 5 designates courses of masonry blocks of suitable material which are spaced vertically from each other by comparatively small blocks 2 mounted between the inner portions thereof. The blocks 2 may be in the form of conventional bricks. The reference numeral 3 designates the mortar joints between the elements 5 and 2.
Mounted on the outer face of the wall is a veneer of shingles E: of suitable material. Projecting angularly from the upper portions of the shingles 4 are integral lugs or flanges 5 which are secured between the outer portions of the block courses I by mortar joints 6. The flanges 5 are spaced from the bricks 2 in a manner to provide longitudinally extending air chambers l in the completed wall between the block courses I.
Below the flanges 5 the shingles 4 are further provided, on their inner faces, with shoulders 8 which abut the upper portions of the block I to facilitate aligning said shingles when erecting the wall. The shingles 4 are further provided with inclined top edges 9 for drainage. The lower ends or edges of the shingles 4 are bevelled, as at 10, where the water drips therefrom.
In the construction shown, the shingles 4 are inclined and the lower portions thereof overlap the upper portions of the subjacent courses in a manner to provide air chambers H. The joints between the shingles 4 may be butted, as illustrated, or lapped and said joints may be set either with or without mortar.
In Fig. 3 of the drawings there is shown a veneer of shingles l2 mounted on the outer face of a wall 13 of wood or other material. The shingles ii are substantially similar to the shingles with the exception that the upper portions thereof have formed therein countersunk holes M which accommodate suitable securing elements such as nails or screws. The lap of the shingles is sufficient to cover the openings l4 and the securing elements therein. The flanges l5 of the shingles 12 rest on horizontal supporting strips it which are provided therefor on the wall 13. The shoulders ll of the shingles l2 abut the supporting strips 16. Also, the elements which secure the shingles l2 are driven into the strips l6. In this form of the invention, the construction and arrangement is such that air chambers l8 are provided between the veneer and the wall. The reference numeral l9 designates the inclined drain faces on the upper edges of the shingles l2 and the reference numeral 20 designates the bevelled lower edges thereof.
It is believed that the many advantages of a wall structure embodying the present invention will be readily understood and although preferred embodiments are as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that further modifications and changes in the details of construction may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
1. A wall structure comprising vertically spaced courses of blocks, comparatively small blocks between the inner portions of the first named blocks, and a veneer of shingles mounted on the first named blocks, said shingles including angularly projecting supporting flanges secured between the first named blocks.
2. A wall structure comprising vertically spaced courses of blocks, comparatively small blocks between the inner portions of the first named blocks, and a veneer of shingles mounted on the first named blocks, said shingles including angularly projecting supporting flanges secured between the first named blocks, said flanges being spaced from the second named blocks for providing air chambers between the first named blocks.
3. A wall structure comprising vertically spaced courses of blocks, comparatively small blocks between the inner portions of the first named blocks, and a .veneer of shingles mountedonthefirst named blocks, said shingles including angularly projecting supporting flanges secured between the first named blocks, said flanges being spaced from the second named blocks for providing air chambers between the first named blocks, said shingles further including integral shoulders below the supporting flangesin abutting-engagement with the first named blocks.
4. A wall structure comprising vertically spaced courses v.of blocks, comparatively 7 small blocks mounted 7 between the innerportions of the first named-blocks, and; a. veneer of shingles. mounted .on the first named-blocks, each shingle including ablocks and further including a shoulder immediately below the supporting flange in abutting engagement with the first named blocks, each shingle further including an inclined drainage face on its upper edge and a bevelled lower edge, said shingles-being inclined and having their lower portions extending in overlapping relation to the upper portions of the subjacent shingles, the supporting iflanges. being spaced from the second named .blo'cks tor providing air chambers v between the-courses wof the first namedblocks.
