JAMES o. ANDERSON, OF HIGHLAND PARK, iLrr ois- BRICK OF IRREGULAR FORM FOR FACING WALLS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,471, dated September 21, 1886. Application filed February 26, 1886. Serial No. 193,284. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES C. ANDERSON, acitizen of the United States, residing at Highland Park, in the county of Lake and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Bricks of Irregular Form for Facing \Valls, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to the manufacture of bricks of irregular shape.
The object of my invention is to provide bricks for the facings of walls, which will give to the same a crazed or confused appearance. which adds very materially to the artistic effect.
Figure 1 is a front view of a wall in which the ends of the bricks form broken lines. Fig. 2 is a front view of a wall in which the brick are of irregular form, so as to give to the face of the wall a crazed or confused appearance. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the wall shown in Fig. 1, showing the binders. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the wall shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a view in perspective of the rear portion of the bricks of irregular form. Fig. 6 is also a perspective view of a brick of irregular form.
As has been heretofore practiced, the walls of brick buildings have been made of bricks of a uniform configuration, which imparts a sameness of finish to the walls, and these bricks as ordinarily formed are either rectangular or square for the main body of the face-wall.
In Figs. land 3 of the drawings I have shown bricks A, having parallel sides and adapted to be joined or anchored to the rear wall, B, in any suitable manner. The ends of the bricks A form uneven lines, so that the joints between the ends of the brick will not be in a perpendicular line, butof an irregular form at an angle to a vertical or horizontal line.
In Figs. 2, 5, and 6 I have shown bricks 0, having unequal sides, and forming surfaces of varying geometrical outline, so as to give to the wall a crazed or uneven appearance. As above indicated, I have shown in front view in Fig. 2 bricks having unequal sidessuch as triangles of all kinds, quadrilaterals, trapeziums, Ste. These bricks may be made up of five, six, or more different shapes or styles, which, when placed together, will form squares or other geometrical shapes, and when placed in the wall will give it a crazed appearance, the points or lines between the bricks being irregular in form.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a brick in which the rear portion is open or with a web, b, of cuniform shape, so that when these bricks are placed in the wall the common bricks of the rear wall can be placed over into the recesses c and d and hold these facing-bricks securely in position against the rear wall. These bricks of irregular shape may be made solid, as shown in Fig. 6, in which case they are provided with conical recesses e to receive the burrf of the metallic binder g, which projects into the mortar-j oint of the rear wall at every fourth or fifth course, as may be desired, and when the sides of the facing-brick are at an angle to the horizontal joints of the rear wall the binders may be twisted, as indicated at 72.
i is an insulating material or compound, placed between the front and rear walls, to prevent the sulphate of magnesia, or so called saltpeter, from appearing on the face of the wall.
The facing-brick, as already indicated, are made of irregular form and may be of any desired color, which, when placed indiscriminately in the wall will give to the same a very beautiful and aesthetic effect.
The manner of insulating the two walls and joining the same together by metallic binders is covered by my patent of February 6, 1883, No. 271,591, and forms no part of this invention.
These bricks may be used to good advantage for paving and flooring purposes.
\Vhat I claim is- 1. A brick for the front walls of buildings, of irregular form, as set forth.
2. A brick for the front walls of buildings and for floors, of triangular, quadrilateral, or trapezoidal forni,adapted to be anchored to the rear wall of the building, as set forth.
irregular form and present a crazed or broken IO appearance. I
In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
' J. o. ANDERSON.
3. A brick for the front walls of buildings, of irregular form, provided with the recesses 0 d, to receive the ends of the brick of the rear wall, as set forth.
5 4. A brick of irregular form provided with l the cuneiform flange or web I), as set forth. I
5. A building the front wall of which is XV'itnesses: composed of bricks of irregular form, as de- FRANK L. BLAKE, scribed, whereby the same will have joints of OSCAR A. V. RUNNGREN.
