To all whom it may concern:

3e it known that I, IIENRY ZOGMANN, a citi zen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and state of New York, have invented Improvements in Foundation andMasonry \Vall Constructions, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in foundation and masonry wall construction in which there are improved foundations, columns, brick piers, girders, anchors, arches, and brackets.

The object of my improvements is to provide safety for the public. This object I attain by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a ground plan of a building in which are shown anchors a. (to is to show and represent the place where arches, hcreinafter to be described, lie, the broken curved lines adjacent thereto, taken in connection with the small circles 11 as centers, signifying, approximately, the spring of such arches. Letters represent the place where girders are to run and lie. Fig. 1 is a horizontal sectional view of parts adjacent to line C D on Fig. 1 in a modified construction. Fig. 2 is a diagonal vertical section taken from line A 15 on Fig. 1. Fig. 2- is an elevation of a construction which can be erected on line (J D, Fig. 1, providing that shown in Fig. 2, which is erected on line A 1;, is not used. Fig. 2' is a perspective view with parts sectioned, taken from lines 00 x on Fig. 2. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of a front of a building, taken from line L M on Fig. 1, showing the improved plates and brackets. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken .from line m m on Fig. 3, showing a single iron column; Fig. 3, also an iron column taken from dotted lines :0 m on Fig. 3, but is somewhat different from Fig. 3. Fig. 4is a view of the base of the

columns

3 and 3. This figure is taken from dotted lines 0 Pen Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a vertical section of a rear part of a building, taken from line I K on ground plan, Fig. 1, same figure showing anchors and arches. Fig. 5 is a perspective view,saine beingto show abrick pier in which can be seen the anchors and arches, and how laid. This figure is taken from the dotted lines 00 m on Fig. 5. Fig. 0 is a vertical view, which is to show a portion of a brick wall of the rear of a build ing, same figure showing anchors, arches, and iron girders, letters [(i; same figure taken from Fig. 1 on line I K. Fig. 6- is a perspective view of a brick pier, taken from dotted lines of on Fig. (i. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view of iron girders connected by bolts. Fig. 8 is also a vertical view of iron girders formed in dillerent style. Fig. 9 is a vertical section of a front of a building, which is taken from line I. M on Fig. 1, same figure being to show improved iron columns, plates, and brackets. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of an iron column taken from dotted line as .r' on Fig. 9, samebeing to show how the iron girders are attached to the columns with plates and brackets. Fig. 11 is also a perspective view of a column, taken from same dotted lines :I-F r on Fig. J, show ing how the iron girders are attached with single brackets. anchors which show how they are before being attached to one another. Fig. 13 is a set of anchors attached together by the pins PR. Fig.14 is a vertical view of a part of the improved brick pier. Fig. 15 is a view of a single row of headers in the faces of a pier, and Fig. 16 is a view of a single row of stretchers in a similar location.

Similarlettersrcfcrtosimilarpartsthroughout the different views.

In building the foundation oi a building spiles are to be driven into the ground first where necessary, then about a foot of sand mixed with water, so as to make itsomewhat; sticky, and then a solid concrete is to be laid. This foundation will uphold any building, be it of any weight whatsoever, from sinking.

In the ground plan, Fig. 1, letters a'signify anchors which are either round or flat and the thickness of same to be according to the weight of the building. These anchors are to run through the entire building, connecting one portion to the other. Where these anchors connect piers and lie in the same, double anchors should be used.

Letters Ca are to show the way the different arches lie between the piers and between the piers and walls, the broken curved lines adjacent thereto, taken with letters 1) as centers, signifying, approximately, the spring of such arches.

Fig.12 is a view of aset of Letters QM signify belt-ties which entirely surround a building.

llettcr g representsthe place where girders are to run and lie.

The small circles lettered ps are the places where the belt-ties are connected by iron pins.

Fig. l is a horizontal sectional view of a modified construction which can be substituted for that shown ali'mglinc, t l) on Fig. l, and shows plainly how the piers are connected by arches. The letters a show whcrethese arches are and lie.

If one does not desire the piers to run diagonally in a building, then the construction shown at (l D on Fig. 1 may be used instead of that shown at line A 1;, whereby the piers will run horizontallyand not. diagonally; but either of the two can be used, so that all piers throughout the building will lie directly on top of each other.

Fig. 2 is a vertical di.-igonal section erected on line A l on Fig. 1 and shows iron columns, (the second column from the left-hand side of figure.) brick piers, (the left-hand and the two right-hand columns of figure,) iron arches, letters [G0, Mg, and 1(,and underground arches 1rd and u'a',anchors o. and (L2, girders 2'5 and try, and wooden beams H ll. The brick piers herein shown are to be built with alternate rows of headerand stretcher, as shown in Figs. it, 15, and it These piers are connected to iron columns at their bases by underground arches It'll and tea. These arches run from one column to the other column, from pier to pier, and from wall to wall. \Vhcre one pier is connected to another pier, the two under ground arches 'Zl'fL and are are to be used by all means, to prevent sinking of the piers. Where said arches do not connect piers, sin gle or double arches can be used, either arch Ira alone or arches NT! and tltt' together.

The lettera shows circular anchors, and the letter a? straight anchors. These said anchors are so set that they will prevent the caving or falling of any portion of any building. They are fastened as follows: In brick piers they are fastened on solid pins or plates which are built in the piers,as shown by letters Fp. At other places where anchors curve theyare fastened with screw-bolts,as shown by letters a. \Vhere the straight. anchors terminate at the iron arches iGgg'iGa, and K, they are fastened by bolts, as shown by letters a". The iron arches iGg are fastened to the iron girder (letters 1G) by bolts, and also fastened to the brick pier and iron columns, as shown. The arch K is also an iron arch constructed with braces in, which are fastened to the brick pier. The arches 'L'Ga are different kinds of arches, which are fastened to the brick piers and iron columns.

The letters \VG are to show wooden girders, but can be iron girders instead of wooden. The letters \Vb show how the wooden beams lie.

The letters (tfif signifybelttics fastened to gcthcr by pins or plates 1s. The letter signifies the center from which thearches are sprung.

Fig. 2" is a vertical section erected on line (l I), Fig. l, and shows brick piers l3, iron col umns r, anchors A and A attached by the pins or plates Fp and the bolts uh, letters 1 signifying the center from which the arches are sprung, ({[G signifying arched iron girders, (tfi/ signifying belt-ties.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view, partly in sec tion, of a single brick pier, taken from line .r" m on Fig. 2 and showshow the girders lie in t he brick piers, also how the brick arches lm lie in between the two iron girders, and how the underground arches Iltt and am are connected to one another. Letters a and (fireprescnt anchors; F the fastening-point of same. iG signify iron girders. p is the center point from which the arches arc sprung.

Figs. 7 and S are both vertical sections taken from lines R S on Figs. 2" and (J,representing two different sets of iron girders, of which either can be used. These girders are to be from twelve to sixteen inches apart, the space being filled with a brick arch, as shown in Fig. 2", letters llc. These girders are held firmly together bystrong anchors fastened by bolts, as shown by letters (1.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a front of a building, taken from line L M on Fig. l, the same figure showing how the iron girders are connected and fastened to the iron columnst by steel or wrought-iron plates and brackets. The dotted lines lettered ll above the plates show the rear plates, which are somewhat higher than the front plates. This same rear plate Pl is sufficiently strong to hold the girders to the columns; but it is better to have the front plate also.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a column, taken from lines m (r in Fig. 1 same showing how the bracket 7: in Fig. 3 is fastened by bolts in Fig. 3. ft: on Fig. 3 shows the bolts that fasten the plates P1 in Fig. 3. 1G shows the iron girder. ()(t on Fig. 3 signifies the place where the diagonal brackets he on Fig. 3 is fastened with bolts.

Fig. 3 represents adittcrent column,being perfectly unbroken, whereas that in Fig. 3" is more of a fancy column. The letters of reference have in every particular the same meaning as in Fig. 3.

Fig. 4 is taken from the line 0 P on Fig. 3 It is to show the base of a column.

Fig. 9 is a vertical section of a front of a building having the same plates and brackets to fasten the girder to the column as in Fig. 3, with the exception of the outer two columns, which are so formed to allow the girder to lie on them and be fastened by brackets to the upper portion of the columns, as shown more clearly in Figs. 10 and 11. Letters 1) and Z) show the brackets; iG, the iron girders; U, the iron columns; I the brick piers; Pl, the steel or wrought-iron plate; 11, the center point, from which the brackets are sprung.

Fig. 10 is a perspective View, partly in section, of a column, taken from line 00 on Fig. .l, the same figure serving to show more clearly how the girderlies on the column,as in Fig. 9. The left-hand side of the figure and letters V and T of the base show the back view of the column. The shaded section and letters N and 0 show the side of the column,the righthand side, and letters M and L show the front of the column. Letter 12 shows the brackets; 17G, the iron girders, and letter 2; shows the center points from which the brackets are sprung.

Fig. 11 is the same as Fig. 10, only showing the back and the side of a column. The letters have the same meaning as in Fig. 10.

Fig. 5 is a vertical section of a rear wall, taken on line I K on Fig. 1, same being constructed of brick piers attached together by arches, anchors, and belt-ties. a, and (1, show the anchors; abt, the belt-ties; Fp, the pin on which the anchors are fastened; p, the center point, from which the arches are sprung; ps,the pin on which the belt-ties are fastened.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view, partly in sec tiou, taken from line 13 .11 on Fig. 5, showing how the brick arches are sprung and also shows the anchors a (L2. Letter llct signifies the brick arches. Other letters mean the same as similar letters in foregoing views.

Fig. (i is a vertical section of a rear portion of a building, taken from line I K on Fig. 1, same showing the iron girders lettered til, the brick arches, which lie between the two girders, and the anehorslettered a a. Other letters similar to those in former views have the same meaning.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view, partly in vertical section, of Fig. (3, taken from line 03 :0 of Fig. 6 and shows clearly the brick arch lying between the two girders. This brick arch is lettered 15a. G signifies the girders. These arches between the two iron girders throughout the different views, together with' the anchors, firmly hold the building together from caving or falling.

Fig. 13 is a view of the anchors used in the building, same view showing how they are fastened together by pinsps. 'lhese anchors can be of any length whatsoever from one foot to twelve feet; but in about the center of the larger piers the anchors should be of. such length as to have them united in the center of the piers by a pin about two feet long, which,when encircled by the brick of the pier, will hold the anchors more firmly together.

Fig. 12 is a view of anchors, showing how they are before being united by pins ps.

Fig. 14 is a vertical section of a brick pier, serving to show the face view of a pier built with alternate rows of headers and stretchers. 71c signifies header, and st stretcher.

Fig. 15 is a plan view of a single course of headers, and Fig. 1G a single course of stretchers. Allpiersofa buildingare tobc builton this plan: first a row of header and then a row of stretcher and then another row of header, &c.,

according to Figs. 15 and 16, which are to lie on top of each other exactly, as hereby shown in these figures, thus forming Fig. 20.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Iatcnt,is

1. The combination of the walls or piers and the iron girders G of the anchors a and m secured thereto, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the walls and piers, of the parallel arched iron girders and the brick arches arranged between and fitted to them and having a like curvature, as set forth.

3. The combination, with the walls of the building and the floors thereof, of the beltties rtbtsurrouxuling the building at the lev els of the girders supporting the iloors and embedded in the interior of the walls and at intervals anchored thereto, as set forth.
