BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.

WITNESSES UNTTED STATES PATENT OFFICES MARION A. WINGET, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 699,735, dated May 3, 1902- Application filed December 2, 1901. Serial No. 84.329. (No model.)
To ctZZ whont it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARIoNA. WINGET, a citizen of the United States,residing at Colu mbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Building Construction, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the improvement of building construction, and has particular relation to theimprovement of concrete bui1d ing-walls.
The objects-of myinvention are to provide a strong, durable, and at the same time simple building construction of that class wherein the walls are formed of hollow blocks of concrete or similar material. These objects I accomplish in the mannerillustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a View in perspective of a corner-block, showing a portion of an adjoining wall-block and showing inconnection with said wall blocks or sections portions of joists or floor-beams. Fig. 2 is a similar View of one of said wall-blocks with the joist removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through two of said blocks, showing the j oist-receiving recess and a portion of a joist therein; and Fig. 4 is a similar sectional view taken through portions of two blocks arranged one upon the other, said view being taken midway between the joist-recesses.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In carrying out my invention I form of con- 'crete or similar material oblong building-wallconstructing blocks, such as are indicated at 1, each of these blocks having formed vertically tlierethrough openings 2. Those blocks lwhich form the layer or row of buildingblocks adapted to support the ends of joists have formed in the otherwise solid rib or partition 3, which supports the openings 2, joistreceiving recesses 4, these recesses being formed, as indicated more clearly in Fig. 3 of the drawings, partially in the upper sides of the blocks forming one ofthe rows and partially in the under sides of the blocks of the next higher row, the recesses in said upper and lower adjoining blocks thus being made to register and form a socket for the re ception of the'end of a floor joist or beam 5. In constructing each of these joist-receiving blocks the ends thereof are formed with half recesses or recesses of half-width, which are indicated at l, so that when said block has its ends united or abutting against the ends of the adjoining blocks of thesame row complete joist-receiving recesses will be formed. It is obvious that in those blocks which are not at the proper height in the wall to receive the joist the ribs or central partitions 3 may be formed solid.
As indicated in Fig. l of the drawings, the end block of a row may be formed with an angular extension, such as is indicated at 6, these extensions serving to form the buildingwall corner and being also provided with vertical openings 6, which run therethrough.
From the construction above described it will be seen that the engagement of thejoist with the wall-blocks inno way interferes with the formation of continuous vertical openings in said blocks throughout the height thereof, said openings thus providing wall ventilation and being adapted to be employed as heatfines, if desired. It will also be observed that in the construction of myimproved wall the ends of the joists are received in recesses formed in the blocks of two rows, thereby obviating the necessity of producing an undesirable deep recess in either of said blocks and preventing the blocks from becoming undesirably weakened by the formation of said recess. It will also be observed that by the construction shownand described the outer recesses or those recesses 4 which are nearest the ends of the wall may be so arranged as to supportthe outer joists in desirable close proximity to those building-walls which extend parallel with the joists.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a building construction a buildingblock of. concrete or similar material, said block having formed therethrough vertical separated openings and a joist-receiving recess between said openings and each end of said block having formed therein the open half-recess 4 as described, substantially as specified.
2. In a building construction, the combination with two rows of blocks arranged one upon the other, said blocks having formed [0 the blocks of one horizontal row having joistreceiving recesses between their openings and the blocks below said joist-receiving blocks having solid partitions between their openings and beneath said recesses whereby a solid joist-support is provided vertically bc- 15 low said joists, substantially as specified.
