Atmgs Patented Sept. 20, 1949 2,432,553; tin msomir ,petrasfltiasuiyqoii'i l f" jlipiineatioiia rii 14,1948r3bflll Norman This invention relates wall constructed therefrom and has for its primary object to permit a person quickly and economically to construct a building, such as a dwelling.
Another object is to avoid the necessity of employing skilled labor in constructing a wall and at the same time to apply a suitable finish to each section of the wall as it is constructed.
The above and other objects may be attained by employing this invention which embodies among its features courses of rectangular building units having spaced vertical core openings extending therethrough, each unit having a roughened exterior surface and a coating of colored cement on the exterior surface of the wall constructed of such unit.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a building unit embodying the features of this invention showing the finish coating omitted;
Figure 2 is a perspective view similar to Figure 1 showing the finish coating covering the complete exposed surface of the building unit;
Figure 3 is aview similar to Figure 2 illustrating a face having a transverse groove extending therethrough;
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figures 2 and 3 illustrating the face having a longitudinal groove therethrough;
Figure 5 is a view similar to those just described illustrating another pattern of groove in the face of the block;
Figure 6 is a fragmentary view of a wall constructed according to this invention before the joints therein has been filled;
Figure 7 is a view similarto Figure 6 of the finished wall, and;
Figure 8 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially along the line 8--8 of Figure '7.
Referring to the drawings in detail a building unit designated generally I0 is formed of spaced parallel side walls [2 and M which are held in spaced parallel relation by transversely extending webs l6 forming openings which extend throughout the entire height of the building unit. The outer face of the side wall I2 is preferably roughened by scratching or the like as at l8, and cemented to the roughened scratched surface I8 is a finish coat 20 preferably composed of a cementitious material containing a to a building unit and one]. (or. fist) coloring matter which will give it the appearance a of natural stone. In some instances the coating or facing material 20 will be provided with a ttansversely extending groove 22 as illustrated in Figure 2 and in other instances the face will be provided with the longitudinally extending groove 24 as illustrated in Figure 4. In order to afford still further variations of pattern, the face 20 of still other units will be provided with a longitudinal groove 26 with which a transversely extending groove 28 communicates at one end while its opposite end opens through an adjacent side edge of the face as will be readily understood upon reference to Figure 5. These grooves when exposed in a. simulated masonry wall will represent wall joints.
A group of units having the various different grooves and grouping of grooves in their faces 20 are laid in courses as illustrated in Figure 6 to form a wall with the horizontal joints between the courses laid in mortar 30 while the ends of the units are arranged in abutting relation with mortar 32 therebetween as in conventional walls. The grooves in the faces 20 are arranged to form a definite pattern as will be readily understood upon reference to Figure 6, and where certain of the grooves align with the mortar joints 30 and 32, the mortar joints are preferably filled with plastic material as at 34 (Fig. '7) to create the effect of a wall laid from irregularly shaped stones. The plastic material 34 of course is colored to match the color of the coating on the faces of the blocks or units l0, and when the wall is completed it will present a pleasing exterior.
Obviously, by proper selection and matching of the faces 20, and filling certain of the joints between the building units with the cementitious material colored to match the faces of the blocks, many varied and pleasing patterns of wall structure may be produced.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is In a simulated masonry wall including a plurality of horizontal courses of superimposed blocks of similar length, the blocks being spaced by horizontal and vertical mortar joints, the vertical mortar joints of one course being staggered with respect to the vertical mortar joints of adjacent courses, at least one of said courses having a pair of adjacent blocks with plain faces and each of said courses having at least one block with a vertical Broove dividing the block into first and second plain faced sections, each vertical groove representing a wall joint and being in alignment with a vertical mortar joint of an adjacent course, the plain faces and the plain faced sections being of similarly colored cementitious material, a, plastic material of a color similar to the cementitious material covering the vertical mortar joint between adjacent blocks with the plain faces and with the plainfaces simulating a horizontally elongated block, theflrst 10 section of a vertically grooved block in one course being vertically aligned with the second section of a vertically grooved block in an adjacent course, and a plastic material, colored isimilar tc'ithe; first-mentioned plastic material, covering the 7 horizontal mortar joint between th'e"a1ignedse'c'- tions and with the aligned sectionssimulating a across. a
vertically elongated block extending horizontal mortar joint.
