FLOOR AND CEILING CONSTRUCTION.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 61 1,366, dated September 27, 1898. Application i'lled December l0, 1897. Serial No. 661,356. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, ADOLPH LUND, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Floor and Ceiling Constructions, of which the following is a speciiication.
My invention relates to floor and ceiling constructions, the object of which is to provide means for supporting an arched iioor upon a series of parallel joists or floor-beams and in connection therewith to provide simple and economical means for supporting a ceilingbeneath such a floor.
To such end the invention consists in certain novel means for the purpose stated,which will be fully described below in their preferred form and the essential features thereof pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings presented herewith, Figure l is a perspective of a complete floor-section. Fig. 2 is a perspective of a stirrup adapted to support the adjacent ends of two arches and to embrace one of the flooring-strips. Fig. 3 is a perspective of one of the floor-beams and certain modified forms of stirrups applied thereto. Figs. e and 5 are perspectives of other modifications of the stirrups; and Fig.
G is a perspective of a floor-beam and another form of stirrup, showing in connection therewith means for supporting the ceiling-strips.
Loeki ng iirst at Fig. l, AA are two I-beams used as joists or floor-beams. B B are flooring-strips. C C are ceiling-strips. D D are arches, shown as of corrugated iron, and E is a suitable iilling between the arches and the flooring. Upon the tops of the floor-beams are hung a series of stirrups F, which extend across the top of the beams, down upon the opposite sides, and then outward from the beams, forming brackets f, the ends of which abut against the beams and which furnish a support for angle-irons Il, upon which rest the ends of the arches D. The thrust of said arches is thereby brought directly against the beams, and said beams are sustained against said thrust by the adjacent arch upon the other side. In this view, Fig. 1, a modified form of stirrup G (shown on alarger scale in Fig. 4) is used to secure the flooring-strips B to the I-beams, said stirrup having upturned edges g, perforated so that they maybe nailed to the edges of the iiooring-strips, and downturned sides g' g2, the side g2 being also tur-ned in to embrace the upper iiange of the floorbeam and the other side being perforated to receive the loop of awire c, (see Fig. 1,) which carries, by means of a loop at its other end, one of the ceilingstrips C. I
Fig. 2 shows a modiiied form of stirrup F', similar to that shown at F, with the exception that the ends f are turned upward to receive one of the iiooringstrips and the brackets f are perforated to hold one of the ceiling-supporting wires c.
Fig. 6 shows another Inodiiication, F2, of said stirrup F, similar to that shown in Fig. 2, omitting, however, the upturned ends f.
Fig. 3 shows at F3 another modification of the stirrup F, adapted to a channel-iron, the difference being that one of the downturned portions makes a right angle with the horizontal portion to iit the square corner of the channel-iron. Said figure also shows at F4 a modification of the stirrup F2, (seen in Fig. 6,) the difference being that one of the downturned portions f2 makes a right angle with the horizontal portion and the laterally-ex tending bracket f3 extending outward from said portion has a tongue f4 out from it and extended directly downward from the portion f2 and perforated to receive one of the ceiling-supporting wires c.
In Fig. 5 a bracket F5 is seen adapted to support the adjacent ends of two arch-bars when the nature of the iioor construction makes it desirable to use such bars. In this case the brackets f5 are formed into sockets tted to receive the ends of the arch-bars.
`I amaware that still further variation in the form of construction of the various parts of my invention is possible but I deem those already shown sufficient to illustrate the nature of the invention and the essential features thereof.
I claim as new and desire to secure by Iletters Patentl. The combination with a series of floorbeams, of a series of stirrups resting upon the tops of said beams and having depending portions extending downward along the sides thereof and projecting outward at the bottom to furnish supporting-brackets for floor- IOO arches, the depending portions being adapted to :rest directly against the beams so as to transmit the lateral thrust of the arches thereto; substantiall5T as described.
5 2. The combination with a series of floorbeams and a series of floor-strips, of a series of stirrups resting upon the floor-beams having upturned portions adapted to hold the floor-strips in place and downturned portions 1o resting directly against the beams and having outwardly-extending ends adapted to support a series ofarches; substantially as described.
3. The combination with a series of floorbeams, a series of floor-strips resting thereon and a series of ceiling-strips supported thereby, of a series of stirrups resting on the beams having upturned portions adapted to hold the flooring-strips in place and downturned porzo tions provided with means for supporting the ceiling-strips, substantially as described.
4. The combination with a series of Hoorbeams and a series of ceiling-strips supported therefrom, of a series of stirrups resting upon the licor-beams and having depending portions extending downward along the beams and projecting outward at the bottom to provide a bracket for the support of hoor-arches, said depending portions of the stirrups rest- 3o ing against the beams to transmit the thrust of the arches thereto and being provided with suitable devices for supporting the ceilingstrips; substantially as described.
. A bracket for the support of floor-arches 3 5 upon anged iron floor-beams consisting of a stirrup adapted to rest upon the top ot' one of the beams and having depending portions extending downward and inward sufficiently to rest against the web of the beam, said depending portions having outwardly-projecting shoulders upon which the arches may rest; substantially as described.
6. The combination with a series of floorbeams, of a series of stirrups resting thereon having depending portions extending downward against the beams and outward at the bottom, a series of angle-irons resting upon these outwardly-extending portions and a series of arches resting upon the angle-irons; substantially as described.
7. The combination with a series of iioorbeams, a series of flooring-strips and a series of ceiling-strips, of stirrups resting upon the floor-beams having depending portions extending downwardly and outwardly at the bottom and resting against the beams, a series of angle-irons upon the outwardly-extending portions, a series of arches resting upon the angle-irons, and a series of stirrups resting upon the oorbeams,having upturned portions holding the floorstrips in place and downturned portions connected with and holding the ceiling.- strips; substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, this 29th day of November7 A. D. 1897,
ADOLPH LUND.
