BUILDING-BLOCK.'
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 760,774, datedrMay 24, 1904.
" Appuaaon' ned December 19,1993. serai No.1sas91. (No model.)
To all whom, it nung/concerna Y `Be it known that I, FRANK W. BLAKESLEE,
la citizen of the United States, residing at Ashtabula, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented a certain-new and useful Improvement in Building-Blocks, of which the following is a specification.
This ,invention relatesl to 'the art of manu-` facturing building-blocks, and has for its object the exclusion of heat, cold, dampness,
` frost, and the like.
- companying drawings, and particularly pointed outin the appended claims, it being understood that lchanges in the .form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made-within thescope of the claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing anyof theadvantages of the present invention.
In thedrawings, Figure l is ay detail perspective view of, a portion of a wall construct: ed Aof the present form of blocks. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a building-block embody: ing the features of the present invention. Fig. 3 is asimilar view of an end or corner block. Fig. iis a cross-sectionalview on the line 4 L of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a similar view on theline 5 5 of Fig. 3. Fig. V6 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 6 6 ofTFig. 4. Fig. 7 is a similar view on the line 7 7 of Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view'ofa modified form of block. Fig. 9 is adetail vertical sectional view taken longitudinally through a portion of a wall constructed of the present form of blocks. Fig.` 10 is a cross-sectional view thereof.
Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts in each and every ligure of the drawings. l n
As has been hereinbefore stated, the object of the present invention is accomplished by means of dead-air spaces which are arranged so that one or more of the spaces will intersectl any horizontal plane `passing through the block. The preferred arrangement of airspaces hasbeen shown in Figs. l, 3, and 5 of the drawings, wherein the numeral 1 indiminates short of thebottom, both grooves or openings extending throughout the entire 1 length of the block and intersecting the opposite ends thereof. It will also be noted that the grooves or openingsv extend at least beyond the middle of the block, whereby they overlap, and therefore there is no solid portion entirely through the block--that is to say, a
horizontal plane passed through the block at any point will intersect one or more air-spaces. While only ,two grooves or openings have been shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 5, it will of course be lunderstood that a greater number of openings may beemployed`-as, for 1nstance, three grooves, as shown 1n F1g..8,
wherein the grooves or openings 2 and 3 which intersect the top and bottom, respectively, of the block are comparatively shallow and a central longitudinal opening 4 has been formed through the middle of the block, terminating short of the top and bottom thereof, but having its topand bottom portions overlapping'the inner portions of the grooves 2 and 3, whereby there is no continuous solid portion through the block from front to rear.
In building a wall with the present form of blocks they are placed one upon ,the other in the common or ordinary manner; but, as indicated in Figs. 9 and l0, it is .preferred to arrange the blocks so that theu'pper groove of the lower block registers with the open end of the lower groove or opening of the upper block, so as to produce a comparatively large dead-air space extending the entire/length of the wall and of a height equal to the combined depths of the two grooves or openings. By this arrangement inner and outer vertical series of horizontal dead-air spaces are produced, with the air-spaces of each series disposed opposite the respective intervals between tlie adjacent air-spaces of the other series and overlapping said adjacent air-spaces. In a wall of this character there are no solid portions continuous from the outer to the inner sides of the wall, and therefore frost and the like cannot pass through the wall, as
the dead-air spaces etl'ectually exclude the same. To be effectual for excluding frost and the like, the spaces must be dead-that is to say, entirely closed to the external air-so as` to prevent circulation therethrough, and therefore it will be understood that each airspace is closed at its opposite ends. For conveniently closing each air-space I have provided a corner or end block, as indicated in Fig. 3, wherein the openings or spaces intersect-one end only'of the block and terminate short of the opposite end thereof, whereby the grooves or Vspaces are open at one end and closed at the other.
By reason of the effective exclusion of frost and the like plastering 5 may be applied di-v rectly to the inner side of a wall constructed of the present form of building-blocks, thereby obviatiiig the usual studding and laths.
While the present invention has been primarily intended for artiiicial blocks by molding the grooves or openings therein, it will of course be understood that the grooves or openings may bereut in the block after it has been molded, and natural buildingblocks may be provided with the present arrangement of grooves or openings by cutting the same therein, and therefore I do not Wish to be understood as limiting the application of the invention to artificial blocks alone.
gitudinal grooves or openings which extend beyond the middle of the block and thereby overlap one another, one of the grooves or openings intersecting the top ot' the block and terminating short of the bottom, and the other intersecting the bottom and terminating short of the top of the block.
4. A building-bloek having a pair of longitudinal grooves or openings which extend beyond the middle of the block and thereby -overlap one another, one of the grooves or openings intersecting the topv of the block and terminating short of the bottom, the other intersecting the bottoni and terminating short of the top of the block, and both grooves or openings intersecting the saine end of the block.
5. A building-block having a pair ot' longitudinal grooves or openings which extend l beyond the middle of the block and thereby overlap one another, one of the grooves or openings intersecting the top oi the block and terminating short ot' 'the bottom, the other intersecting the bottoni and terminating short of the top of the block, and both grooves or openings intersecting cach end oi the block.
