WALL 03 THE LIKE Filed June 3, 1939 I Inventor VT 25. MALER,
1o 7 By Q.
A tiorneys Patented Aug. 27, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.
My invention relates generally to oonstruc-' tion of walls or the like, and particularly to building blocks involved therein, and an important object of the invention is to provide structure of this type which permits of rapid and accurate alignment of walls in construction, which involve a lap preventing entrance of rain or snow into the joint,'while providing at the same time a finished wall surface ready for painting.
Another important object of my invention is to provide wall construction of the type indicated which provides for contracting and expansion of the timbers or blocks, so that the spike heads will not prevent the building from settling and hanging on the spikes,a'nd whereby the efiicient placement of felt stripping between the blocks to prevent drafts is provided for.
Other important objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description taken in connection with the drawing, wherein for purposes of illustration I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a general sectional elevational view of a portion of a wall involving the blocks of the present invention and showing the spikes and felt stripping in place therein.
Figure 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken through Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective-view of an end portion of one of the blocks.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary side elevational view partly broken away showing plugs or fillers inserted in the assembled blocks, the dotted lines disclosing these plugs or fillers as they are inserted and before being cut off at the ends of the blocks.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 5 generally designates a wall or other similar portion of a building which is built up of superposed blocks 6 each block involving a rectangular body 1 provided at intervals along its length with spike receiving holes 8 and along one edge of the bottom thereof with a lap 9 which is substantially parallel to a substantially centralized longitudinal groove I0 formed in the bottom of the block. When the blocks are assembled as exemplified in Figure 2 of the drawing, the spikes having been drivemthe lap I engages the face ll of the subjacent block thereby providing positive alignment of the superposed block, the alignment having been achieved before the driving of the spike l2. Felt strippings l3 and I4 disposed along the top of the subjacent block 6' seal the engagement of the bottom of the block 6 with the top of the block 6' on opposite sides of the groove ill, the stripping ll being sealed in connection with the lap I, so that a weather tight joint is produced. 5
The head [5 of the spike I2 is free of the bottom of the next above block 6", being disposed in the groove i0 thereof, so that there is no contact at any time between the head of the spike and the block 6. The shank portion of the spike 10 I 2, driven into the subjacent block 6' does not quite reach to the groove l0, while passing through the groove of the intermediate block 6, the spike being passed through the spike receiving hole 8 of the intermediate block 6 but being 15 driven into the subjacent block 6', the spike receiving holes 8 being staggered in subjacent and overlying blocks, as exemplified in Figure 1 of the drawing. It is to be observed that by reason of the alignment feature of the invention a fingo ished surface I6 is produced which is smooth enough to receive paint without further condi: tioning thereof.
Fillers or plugs ll, in the form of wooden strips, are inserted in the ends of the grooves I0 25 as indicated in Figure 4, and cut off flush with the ends of the blocks so that the ends of the blocks will be completely filled.
Although I have shown and described herein a preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to so be definitely understood that I do not desire to limit the application of my invention thereto, and any change or changes may be made in the materials and in the structure and arrangement of the parts, within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A wall or the like composed of superimposed blocks each having a depending lap at the outer 40 longitudinal edge thereof engaging the face of the subjacent block and producing alignment of the inner edges of the blocks, the blocks being formed with longitudinal grooves in the bottom thereof registering with vertical spike receiving holes 5 formed through the blocks, spikes passing through the spike receiving holes and driven through the longitudinal groove of the block and into the top of the subjacent block.
2. A wall or the like composed of superimposed blocks each having a depending lap at the outer longitudinal edge thereof engaging the face of the subjacent block and producing alignment of the inner edges of the blocks, the blocks being formed with longitudinal grooves in the bottom thereof registering with vertical spike receiving holes formed through the blocks, spikes passing through the spike receiving holes and driven through the longitudinal groove of the block and into the top of the subjacent block, the spike receiving holes of adjacent blocks being staggered.
3. A wall or the like composed of superimposed blocks each having a depending lap at the outer longitudinal edge thereof engaging the face of the subjacent block and producing alignment of the inner edges of the blocks, the blocks being formed with longitudinal grooves in the bottom thereof registering with vertical spike receiving holes formed through the blocks, weathering strips running along between adjacent blocks between the inner edges of the blocks and the adjacent side of the grooves and between said depending lap and the adjacent side or the grooves.
4. A wall or the like composed of superimposed blocks each having a depending lap at the outer longitudinal edge thereof engaging the face of the subjacent block and producing alignment of the inner edges of the blocks, the blocks being formed with longitudinal grooves in the bottom thereof registering with vertical spike receiving holes formed through the blocks, and plugs inserted in the ends of the grooves between adjacent blocks and flush with the ends of the blocks.
