2 Sheecs-Sheeat` 1 STRUCTURE BLOCKS April 7, 1959 E. PlcKERsGlLL Filed March 2e, 1954 April 7, 1959 INVENTOR. E/ EA/VOR P/CKERSG/LL I l/ ff M d da? l ff' Il I' 0 Il m m. 5 @Mmf n United States Patent-O STRUCTURE BLOCKS Eleanor Pickersgll, Alameda, Calif. Application March 26, 1954, Serial No. 418,805 6 Claims. (Cl. 20-4) This invention relates to building construction and more particularly to a structure composed of a plurality of prefabricated, interlocked structural units.
Heretofore conventional wall construction comprising studs, nailing, strips, sheathing, interior wall board, exterior nish materials, and the like has required the use of relatively long, continuous footage of lumber resulting in a large amount of short, scrap pieces which must be discarded. Furthermore, it has not been feasible to prefabricate any `appreciable size of wall panel in the shop and the majority of construction and finishing has taken place in the eld at the building site.
This invention contemplates the use of a plurality of structural units which may be fabricated and finished externally to any desired degree in the shop before transportation to the building site. In addition, the structural units of this invention may be adapted to make use of short lengths of materials that might otherwise be considered scrap and such units can be fabricated economi'- cally on a large volume basis under low cost factory conditions. Further, erection of such units into structural bearing walls or non-bearing partitions is easily accomplished in the eld by unskilled personnel.
The structural units of this invention may be fabricated from any convenient materials such as wood, plastics, light metals and wood iiber products, particularly those capable of being cast or extruded. Said structural units are formed with interlocking faces so as to construct, when assembled, a rigid wall of a strength equal to conventional faced-stud walls. Although it appears preferable toy glue or cement each unit to adjacent units in forming the Wall other means of bonding or securing said units together such as doweling or, in the case of demountable partitions, merely assembling said units, are encompassed by this invention.
The structural units of this .invention are notrestricted to constructing walls but, with design adaptation, are capable of being assembledito form free-standing furniture, built-in furniture, storage closets and the like.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a structure composed of a plurality of prefabricated, interlocked, structural units.
It is another object of'this invention to provide a prefabricated, interlocked, structural unit.
It is another object of this invention toprovide a prefabricated structural unit having grooved faces adaptedy to interlock with similar, adjacent units in forming a structure.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a wall structure fabricated from hollow, interlocking blocks which when assembled form internal studding as well as a pair of opposed facing panels.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a rigid wall structure that can be easily field-assembled of a plurality of prefabricated, interlocking units.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a structural unit capable o-f prefabrication to any desired degree of structural completion and external and/or ICC internal finish for assembly with like units into a ccm` y tinuous, integral structure such as a wall.
Fig. y2 is a perspective view of several adjacent structural units having facing panels on both sides thereof and showing the interlocking faces thereof;
Fig. 3 is a partial top plan view of theunits of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken ialong line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a corner of a wall prei fabricated in accordance with this invention and showing the structural units arranged in staggered relationship;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of wall fabricated in accordance with this invention showing a window opening and special conduit units.
In detail they structural unit 8 of Fig. 1 is composed* of a plurality of spaced, vertically disposed central stud Y elements 1 and end elements 2 held in said spaced relationship by horizontal joining or nailing strip 3 or by facing panel 4. -Stud elements 1 may be conveniently cut from short lengths of conventional 2" x 4" lumber and have their opposite ends 5, 6 serrated or notched to form locking means such as adjacent V-shaped grooves 7 running longitudinally of unit 8, or may be merely roughened for gluing. End elements 2 may be cut from conventional 1" x 4" lumber and in addition to having their ends serrated as above described, the outwardly directed faces 10 of elements 2 are formed with similar, vertically extending grooves 11. Hence it is seen that unit 8 is like a hollow block having interlocking faces on the top, bottom, and both ends. It is obvious that the basic unit shown may take many different forms without departing from the scope of the invention. The unit may be prefabricated in the shop to any desired degree; e.g. strips 3 only may be used on opposed sides to join elements 1, 2, one or both sides may be finished withv a single facing panel 14 (unit 9 in Fig. 2), or an insulating board or sheathing 15 and a finish board 16 may make up panel 4 (Fig. 1) either internally or externally of unit 8. Any of the finish panels used may be painted, stained, varnished or the like. Interior panels may be left for installation at the building site to facilitate frame inspection and mechanical installations, e.g., plumbing electrical conduit. j
In Figs. 2, 3, 4 it is seen that each unit 9, by virtue of its grooved faces, interlocks with all other adjacent units when said units are assembled to form a wall or the like. Forming end stud elements 2 from 1 by V4s or material half the thickness of central elements 1 produce a single continuous stud at the joint between units 9.
The units may be cemented, doweled, nailed, screwed,-
bolted, or otherwise fastened together during the simple erection process to form a rigid, continuous structure.
lt will be noted that the units forming walls 20, 21 are laid in courses and in staggered relationship much the same as bricks or concrete blocks. This system has been found preferable from the strength and rigidity standpoint but placement of said units directly in vertical lines does not reduce the effective interlocking of adjacent units. Strips 3 and/ or facing panels 4 may extend across a face of blocks 24 to the corner in order to strengthen the resulting 'structure and improve its appearance.
The structural units of this invention lend themselves to a variety of modifications for a variety of uses. Fig. 6 shows a portion of a wall constructed in accordance with this invention having a window opening therein. The head 33, jambs 34, and sill 35 of the opening are unconventional in that the sides forming the opening are grooved or notched as at 26 to interlock with complementarily grooved units 12. Such an opening may also be formed for doors and the like. Fig. 6 also shows modified units which function as conduit blocks 28. Blocks 28 are shown constnicted with 2 x 6 stud elements 29 and are similar to units 12 except that elements 29 are formed with notches 30 which open inwardly of the wall formed. Electric conduits or water lines 3l and the like may be carried in` notches 30 without impairing the strength of the stud elements and said conduits may be covered by plate 32.
It will be noted that in all cases the assembly of the units provides a wall having built-in, continuous studding as well as a pair of opposed inner and outer Wall faces. The air space between the studs and wall panels acts as effective insulation or it may be filled with any number of insulation materials as in conventional wall construction. The units from which the wall or other structure is fabricated are capable of being easily stored and transported and may be Prefabricated in any convenient size with any convenient stud spacing depending on the strength required.
