' SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersjPatent No. 704,771, dated July 15, 1902.
l V Application filed Juno 22, 1901. Serial No. 65,541. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that'I, THOMAS BAILEY, a citizen of the United States of America,and a resident of New Yorkcity, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fireproof Buildings, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of improvements in fireproof constructions of walls, partitions, and other parts of buildings, as hereinafter described, referenoe'being made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents part of aside wall and part of a ceiling or root in perspective view with some of the parts in section. Fig. 2 represents an end view of an improved construction of corrugated metal sheets specially adapted for carrying out the invention,.and Fig. 3 represents in front and side views a coupling device of improved construction for connecting transverse stiffening-bars to the insides of the corrugated sheets.
- For walls and partitions consisting, essentially, of corrugated iron I make dovetail corrugated sheets with ribs and grooves of the different sides, differing in shape for adaptation to the requirements of the different sides, as follows; 1
For the outside, which is to be galvanized or painted, I make the protruding narrow ribs a intermediate of the wider grooves 13, said ribs being somewhat rounded in the protruding part and of any approved heightrelatively to the plane of .the sheet, and the grooves I) being flat in the bottom and broader than the greatest breadth of the ribs a, withnarrow opening slots 0 from the inside of the sheet into the grooves d, formed by producing .the ribs a. Thus the exterior of the sheet presents the appearance of the usual board-andbatten construction, and the inside is practically a plain surface, with undercut or dovetail grooves at intervals, which may be plastered, and the plasterwill beeftectually anchored in the grooves cl, the sheets being applied with the corrugations ranging vertically, as shown in Fig. 1, and wherein 9 represents the inside coating of plaster, such sheets have great load-carrying strength, and when of sufficient length to reach between joints in a building, particularly when reinforced with the plaster e, and will not under ordinary circumstances need other strengthening, but when excessive loads are to be carried the sheets may and preferably will be reinforced by rods f, placed in grooves 01 and seated on suitable foot-supports, with weightcarrying caps, as the bars or plates g, resting on the upper ends. When such reinforcingrods f are employed, the ribs a will have greater projection, and the grooves d will be deeper to provide more space for the anchor elements of the plaster, and such ribs and grooves may be so extended as to permit flat bars to be used for excessive strength.
The sheets maybe reinforced transversely by bars g g to prevent buckling, said bars being placed against the fiat insides of the sheets and hooked thereto by hooks, as 71., detachably secured in the grooves 01 and projecting sufficiently to engage the bars. The hooks may of course be secured in said grooves in any approved way; but the means of securing them which I prefer consists of the disk-shaped T-head structure 1' of the hook, adapted to be inserted edgewise through the slot 0 and being in a plane at right angles to the hook-prong, so that being turned after the head has been entered the head will be locked in the groove and the prong will lock the bar, and the parts will be permanently secured in the locked positions by the plaster subsequently applied.
It will be apparent that it is important for the proper fastening of the bars that the wide grooves be flat on the top against which the bars bear for stability until the plaster is applied, and it is obvious also that the structure will be more stable afterward.
When the sheets are-not of sufficient length to reach from one bearing-point to another,- they may be readily spliced by telescoping one within another, as represented atj, and
for securing the stiffening-bars whether the ribs a and grooves 01 are of rounded or angu lar form; but for eifectively securing the bars g it is essential that the grooves 19 be flat in the bottom, with corresponding flat reverse sides of the ribs of said grooves to afford fair and substantial bearing for the bars. The acute angles at the junctions of the narrow and wide ribs are essential for confining the retaining-hooks h i, so as to hold the bars against the wide ribs without slackness. The rounded ribs are somewhat stronger than those of angular form, and such form is otherwise preferable for outside ribs when not to be coated with cement.
The retaining-hooks are alike applicable for securing the stiffening-bars to the angular as well as the rounded dovetail grooves, and I include the use of such books in both forms.
What I claim as my invention is 1. The improved dovetail corrugated sheetmetal building-sheets, having exterior rounded ribs and interior fiat ribs with contracted interior plaster-holding grooves and wider exterior grooves, the wide ribs being fiat on the top both outwardly and inwardly with acute angles at the junctions of the top and the sides, and the narrow grooves being rounded on the top both outwardly and inwardly and at the junctions with the sides.
2. The combination with the dovetail corrugated sheet-metal building-sheets having exterior rounded ribs and interior flat ribs with contracted interior plaster holding grooves and wider exterior grooves, the wide ribs being flat on the top both outwardly and inwardly with acute angles at the junctions of the topand the sides, and the narrow grooves being rounded on the top both outwardly and inwardly and at the junctions with the sides, of books for securing bars to the fiat ribs, each having a head insertible edgewise in the narrow interior plaster-holding grooves and securable therein by the broader fiatwise dimensions set transversely to the groove in the adjustment of the hook after being inserted, for engaging the bar.
3. The combination with the dovetail corrugated sheet-metal building-sheets, having exterior rounded ribs, interior fiat ribs and contracted interior plaster-holding grooves,
of reinforcing-rods inserted in the plaster rugated sheet-metal building-sheets having exterior ribs, interior fiat ribs and contracted interior plaster-retaining grooves, of the lateral stiiTening-bars and retaining-hooks for said bars, said hooks having disk heads insertible edgewise in the plaster-retaining grooves, and securable therein crosswise, and in the crosswise position securing the bars.
'7. The combination with the dovetail corrugated sheet-metal building-sheets having exterior ribs and interior contracted plasterholding grooves, of lateral stiffening-bars and retaining-hooks for securing said bars to the sheets, said hooks having a head insertible edgewise in the groove, but interlocking when turned sidewise, and a prong adapted to engage the bars when so turned, and the plaster fixing said bars and hooks in position.
