,. adapted to engage oppositely-arranged keys on abutting arch-blocks.
It further consists in forming arch-blocks so that t-he same will break joint.
It further consists in providing` means for locking the arch-blocks together.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a portion of a iireproof construction embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 represent perspective views of the arch-blocks ernployed. Fig. l represents a side elevation showing a dierent form of arch-block employed.
Similarletters of reference indicateV corresponding parts in the drawings.
Referring to the drawings,A designates Van arch-block which is formed with a curved lower edge B and provided with the lugs or keys C and D, projectingfromV the abutting edge of said arch-block, the lug D being so arranged as to provide a shoulder E, upon which is adapted to rest a key of an abutting arch-block, the lug C being adapted to rest upon a projecting key similar to the key D of the abut-ting arch-block, it being seen that said keys are so arranged that the abutting arch-blocks break joint about midway, allowing approximately the half of each archblock to project on either side to receive the next abutting arch-block. Each arch-block is provided with the grooves F for the reception of the foot G of the I-beain Hiand is provided with a projection J, oneset of archblocks being provided with tongues K on said projection J and the others with grooves L in said projection J for the reception of the said tongues K of the next arch-block, it being noticed that said tongues K and grooves L are beneath the beam H when in position.`
Serial No. 18,195. (No model.)
One side of each arch-block is provided with a lug M, the opposite side of each arch-block having an opening N therein adapted to receive the said lug on the next side abutting arch-block.
Embedded in the arch-block is a wire mesh P, having the ends Q of one set of wires projecting from the abutting ends of the arch-Y block and being flexible, 'and the ends R extending from the projection J and being flexible, it being seen that when the arch-blocks are in position the ends Q of the wires of abutting arch-blocks are twisted together, while the ends Rot the wires are twisted, as will best be seen at S, so that each series of arch-blocks are locked together at the abutting ends and at the lower ends to the next series of arch-blocks.
i T designates a slot at the rear of the archblocks to permit concrete to pass thereinto and ll any grooves that may occur between l the arch-blocks and the beams.
Each archblock is provided with hooks or eyes U, to which are secured wires V, which are also secured to the I fbeams, forming a support or brace for the abutting ends.
The voperation will be readily seen. The arch-blocks are placed so that the upper extending lug rests upon the shoulder formed by the lower extending lug of the end abut.- ting arch-blocks and so that the arch-blocks break joint, the projections entering the openings N in the next adjacent arch-blocks, the tongues K entering the grooves L beneath the beam, while the ends Q and R of the wire mesh are twisted and locked and the wires V connected with the eyes U and the beam H, thus securely fastening the various part-s together and preventing sagging or breaking apart.
Vhile I have shown the preferred form of arch-block employed, I do not desire to be limited in every instance to the exact construction as herein shown and described, for in Figs. l, 2, and 3 I have shown an archblock with a grooved bottom, while in Fig. 4: I have shown a dat base, making a flat ceiling.
