Claims.
This invention relates particularly to building blocks for use in walls, partitions, or floors of rooms wherein are used X-ray machines and the like, to prevent penetration of such walls, partitions, or floors by X-rays and the like projected from said machines.
One object of the invention is to provide a building block of this character comprising a novel and improved combination of suitable material such as cement, cinder composition, or specially prepared aggregate, such as Pottsco or Haydite, and layers or sheets of ray-proof material such as lead, whereby the block shall be shielded throughout its face area against passage of X- t'ays or the like transversely through the block, and the layers of ray-proof material shall serve is reenforcements for the cement, cinder composition or the like.
Another object is to provide a building block of ;he character described which shall comprise a Jody of material such as cement, and a plurality if layers, sheets or plates of ray-proof material :uch as lead embedded in said body in parallel )lanes and spaced apart in the direction perpenlicular to the general plane of the body with cerain edge portions wholly disposed within the body ind in overlapping relation to each other, wherey the material of the body surrounds and is dis- )osed between said overlapping portions to form monolith, other edge portions of the sheets beng coincident with the edges of the body, so that aid sheets shall shield the block throughout its ace area against passage of X-rays or the like ransversely through the block.
A further object is to provide such a building lock wherein the sheets of ray-proof material hall be wholly embedded in the body of the look so that the block shall protect the sheets gainst injury during handling of the blocks.
Another object is to provide a ray-proof block hich shall have a novel and improved construcon, combination and arrangement of sheets of iy-prooi material and flanges on the block to verlap flanges of similar blocks in erecting a all, whereby the joints between adjoining blocks 1 a wall shall be thoroughly shielded against assage of X-rays therethrough.
Other objects are to provide novel and imroved simple anchors or bonding ties on the rayroof sheets to bond the sheets to the material of ie body of the block and which will not deact from the ray-proof properties of the sheets; provide a ray-proof block of the character deribed wherein the ray-proof sheets shall be lrmed of lead and shall be protected. in a novel and improved manner against galvanic action with the material of the body; and to obtain other results and advantages as will be brought out by the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: 5

Figure 8 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 8-3 of Figure '7.
Figure 9 is a vertical sectional view on the line 99 of Figure 7, and
Figure 10 is a horizontal sectional view on the line m m of Figure 7.
Specifically describing the invention, my building block comprises a body A of suitable material such as cement, cinder composition, or specially prepared aggregate such as Pottsco or Haydite. As shown, the block is approxi- 301 mately rectangular and in efiect two identical rectangular sections l and 2 that are juxtaposed in parallel planes and disposed in diagonally offset relation, the portions of each section projecting beyond the other section forming flanges 3 whose faces 5 preferably are in a common. plane parallel to the general plane of the block, to overlap the flanges of a similar block in erecting a wall. The two sections l and 2 are integrally connected as by molding or casting, or may be 40 otherwise connected together.
Described in another way, the block is shown as slab-like and approximately rectangular in shape with a flange at each side of two diagonally opposite corners of the block, the two flanges at the sides of one of said corners facing toward the front of the block and the two flanges at the sides of the other corner facing toward the rear of the block, each flange terminating short of the end of the flange at the adjacent side of the opposite corner of the block, as at 3' Embedded in each of the sections l and 2 of the block is a sheet 4 of ray-proof material, for example lead, said sheets being disposed in parallel overlapping relation to each. other so that the 555 block is shielded throughout its face area against passage of rays transversely through the block. As shown, each sheet 4 is approximately pentagonal, having two right angularly disposed edges 5 and 6 each of which is arranged coincident with one of the edges of one of the flanges 3 of one of the edges of the projecting portions of one of the sections I and 2. Each sheet also has other edges 1 which are disposed perpendicularly to the respective edges 5 and 6 and each arranged coincident with one of the other edges of one of the sections l and 2. Each sheet also has a diagonal edge 8 connecting the respective edges 1, and the sheets are arranged in the body of the block with the edge portions 8 of the sheets in overlapping relation as clearly shown in Figure 10. Figure 4 of the drawings shows the sheets detached from the body of the block and arranged in the same relation in which they are disposed within the block.
With this construction, it will be observed that each of the layers or sheets 4 of ray-proof material has a face area substantially less than the face area of the body and said layers complement each other so that together or complementally they underlie the whole face area of the block, whereby each unit of face area of the face of the block, including the flanges 3, is underlaid by a portion of one of the ray-proof sheets 4, and the block is shielded throughout its face area against passage of rays transversely through the block.
It will also be observed that the material of the block is disposed around and between the overlapping portions of the ray-proof sheets 4 35' so that the block is monolithic and the sheets serve as strong reenforcements for the block.
To provide an effective bond between the sheets 4 and the block, the sheets may have suitable bonding ties 9 secured to their faces and embedded in the material of which the block is formed, said ties projecting from the juxtaposed sides of the sheets and extending transversely through the portions of the body between the overlapping portions of the sheets. When the sheets 4 are formed of lead, as is usual, the bonding ties 9 will also be formed of lead; and preferably the bonding ties will be welded as at [0 to the respective sheets 4 to reduce to the minimum the possibility of galvanic action or corrosion at the connection of the bonding ties with the sheets.
To reduce to the minimum the possibility of corrosion or galvanic action between the sheets, bonding ties and the material of which the block is formed, preferably the sheets and bonding ties are coated with a suitable composition, such as aluminum paint or asphalt, before the sheets are embedded in the concrete, cinder composition or other material of which the block is to be formed.
Preferably the bonding ties 9 are wedge-shaped or tapered or have portions of their surfaces disposed at acute angles or in opposed relation to the corresponding surfaces of the sheets, as shown in Figure 6, so that the bonding ties restrain relative movement of the sheets and the block in directions both in planes parallel to the planes of the sheets and perpendicular to the planes of the sheets. Also, the bonding ties project from the sheets across the common plane of the flanges 3 or the plane of juncture of the two sections I and 2 of the block, so as to reenforce the block against transverse strains that may be exerted thereon through engagement with adjacent blocks in a wall.
In order to provide effective bonding between the various blocks of the wall, half blocks, that is, blocks of half the size of those illustrated in the drawings, will be utilized at the proper points so as to stagger the joints between the blocks.
It will also be observed that all portions of the ray-proof sheets 4 are embedded in the block so that the block will effectually protect the sheets against injury during handling of the blocks. This is highlyimportant because damage to the sheets might destroy or detrimentally affect the ray-proof properties of the block.
In erecting a wall with my blocks, the blocks are disposed in edge-wise superposed relation as shown in Figures '7 to 10 inclusive, with the flanges 3 of one block in overlapping and abutting relation to the flanges 3 of the adjacent blocks. Preferably mortar or other suitable material H is disposed between the abutting blocks. It will be observed that when the blocks are so erected, the joints between the blocks are thoroughly shielded by the ray-proof sheets 4 so as to prevent the passage of rays transversely through the joints. For clearness in illustration in Figure '7, the concealed edges of the two sheets 4 in each block are shown by dotted lines of different weight. The overlapping portions of the rayproof sheets of adjoining blocks are clearly illustrated in the sectional views, Figures 8, 9 and 10. From these views and the foregoing description, it will be observed that a wall constructed of my building blocks will be completely shielded throughout its face area against passage of X-rays or other rays transversely through the wall.
It Will be understood by those skilled in the art that the shape of the blocks and the shape and relationship of the ray-proof sheets, may be Widely modified and changed without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim is:
1.
