Description
E. s.` GUIGNON, JR 2,249,204 BASE ANCHORL Filed Feb. 5, 1940 ATTORNEYS v Patented July 15, 1941 unir-ED 2 Claims.
This invention relates to building structures of the character of those comprising a frame Work having a plurality of specially formed blocks supported by said frame work, and particularly buildings in the nature of those shown in my U. S. Letters Patent No. 2,202,850, dated June 4, 1940, wherein is illustrated and described the type of vertical elements formed and placed to carry building blocks like those shown in my U. S. Letters Patent No. 2,134,941, issued November 1, 1938.
The primary aim of the present invention is to provide a base anchor for the side walls of a portable building, which base anchor includes a specially formed channel securely anchored in the sill and slab of the building foundation and means on the channel for contacting and carrying the lower tier of building blocks.
A yet further aim of this invention is to provide a building structure of the aforementioned type having a base anchor, a portion of which has a complementary contour to preclude lateral displacement of the .building blocks, and a series of bosses, each of which is engageable by a vertical tube that forms a part of the building wall.
Specific details of construction are important to this invention and many objects relating to such details will appear during the course of the following specification, referring to the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevational view of a building structure having a base anchor' made in accordance with this invention.
' Fig. 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional View through a lower portion of a building having a base anchor embodying the preferred form of this invention; and
Fig. 3 is a Vertical sectional view, taken on line III-III f Fig. 2.
As will be understood from my patent above identilied, and my aforementioned U. S. Letters Patent, a building having the base anchor embodying this invention, comprises a number of vertical tubes 6, the lower ends of which are secured to hereinafter described bosses integral with a part of the base anchor.
These vertical tubes 6 receive building blocks therebetween, and the distance from center to center of tubes 6 is just suii'icient to receive one block 8, the edges of which have grooves formed therein. The cross sectional contour of the grooves is semi-circular and the edges of adjoining blocks 8 come into abutting relation, as shown in Fig. 1.
The problem of rigidly securing the vertical hook-shaped anchors I6. The head of anchors lt extend through opposed openings I4 and downwardly into the base of sill I0, which is integral with slab I3 forming the oor of the building.
This longitudinally extendingA member, that is combined with sill I0, has an upper section 20 Y provided with longitudinal, laterally projecting anges 22 that lie on the upper face of sill ID and receive the bottom edges of the lower tier of blocks 8. k
An arcuate longitudinally extending head 24 integral with upper section 20, enters the grooves of the bottom edges of blocks 8 and snugly fits the saine. Lateral movement in either direction, therefore, is precluded by the interlocking relation between head 24 and blocks 8.
The side walls of U-shaped channel I2 are inclined downwardly and inwardly and when the' Y cement sill Il! is formed, the cementi-tious material enters openings I4 to ll this channel I2. A part of the material that is forced into channel I2 will move upwardly into arcuate head 20 to present a ridge of concrete that is coni-ined within the lower grooves of the bottom tier of blocks 8.`r
The rigid construction which is permitted through the use of the structure just described, creates a base anchor for portable buildings that is effective, easy to assemble, and capable of holding together all of the parts with which it is associated. Y
Obviously forms of the base anchor other than those illustrated may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the appended claims.
` Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. In a building structure of the character described having a plurality of vertical, spaced apart tubes and blocks provided with grooves along each edge thereof for receiving the tubes, a base ber extending longitudinally along the sill in engagement with the lower edges of the overlying blocks and secured to the said vertical tubes; and a depending part on the member embedded in the sill, said depending part being a U shaped channel provided with openings in the side Walls thereof, said openings being in opposed relation, said opposed openings having anchors extending therethrough and transversely across the U- 10 shaped channel.
