CONSTRUCTION FOR DIEAFENING BUILDINGS.
SlEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters latent No. 539,457, dated May 21, 1895. Application filed December '7, 1894. Serial No. 531,095. I (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, AMBROSE W. TUCKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Constructions forDeafening Buildings, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, consisting of two sheets, illustrating the invention, in which- Figure 1, Sheet 1, is aplan of one floor and parts of others of a building and ahorizontal and deafenings which divide the compartments; Fig. 2, Sheet 2, a sectional elevation of one double partition and a portion of the floors and separate ceilings to adjoinin g compartments on line X, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal section of a double door employed to I effectually to deafen the several compart ments of buildings; but more especiaily'hospitals, schools, asylums, and other buildings in which noise is a serious inconvenience.
The method of construction and nature of the invention are fully set forth in the following detail description.
A, A; B, B, Fig. 1, represent horizontal sections of two brick walls; the wall A, A, being an outside wall, and B, B, represent a wall which may separate the room 0, from a hall D. I construct any desired number of other walls parallel to wall B, B, as the length of the building will permit, and construct the Walls of such length as will connect with the exterior walls of the structure, whereby the joists of every compartment have their end bearings on brick walls. The floor joists m, therefore in all the building run in the direction indicated by dotted lines K and parallel thereto. Ordinary vertical furrings G are detached from the walls A, A, and B, B, and if the laths H are of metal the plastering thereon will be substantially fire proof. In order that the vibration of one compartment may not extend to any other compartment above or below, the spaces between the furring G, walls A and B, and lath H are filled with mineral wool, or some other nonvibratory conducting substance L. I, I, I,
placed what I term mackolites P, which are built up of fire clay bricks, or any suitable plastic fire proof material compounded with mineral wool which serves the purpose both of fire proofing and a sound deafening substance and thereby creating an air space. The closet M is separated from compartment C by a double wall N, which being for the convenience of said compartment rests on the compartment floor O.
The opening for the door through the wall B, B to hall D is provided with a strong rubber, or other elastic non-vibratory sill 0, lap ping onto the floors of the two compartments, and bearing on the brick wall.
The ceilings of all the compartments are supportedby separate tiers of joists 'n, n, n, &c., which also have their end supports in the said brick Walls, and preferably the whole under area of the ceiling is sheeted by asbestos cloth, or other suitable fire proof material, securely fastened to the under edges of the joists n.
. In addition to the construction described ordinary building paper may be employed as a floor lining to advantage where the noise in one room is wholly to be shut ofi to itself.
In a building embodying the features herein I described and shown the deafening is substantially effective in excluding the sound in one room from an adjoining room.
I do not claim that double walls are new as 1. Inthe construction of deafened buildings two or more parallel brick walls and two or more principal compartments side by side, and each compartment separated from the walls extending through all the stories longitudinally with the joists, mackolite constructions placed within the hollow walls and metal beam connections; as and for the purpose shown and described.
4. In the construction of deafened buildings with door passages through brick walls the floor joists disconnected by such passage and the floors united by a rubber door sill; as specified and shown.
AMBROSE \V. TUCKER.
