Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 20, 1906.
' i To all whom it may concern:
and 2.
Be it known that I, J OSEPH OLINTIUS PAR- KINSON, a subject of the King of Belgium, and a resident of Ramet Yvoz, Val St. Lambert, Belgium, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Removable Wall and Ceiling Coverings, of which the following is a specification. i
This invention has reference to an improved removable wall and ceiling covering; and it consists in forming such coveringof plates or tiles carried by a metal framework and adapted to fit together securely without the use of cement or adhesive matter of any kind in such a manner that any of them may be readily detached or removed, as may be required,
without disturbing all those adjacent thereto. I employ two series of plates. or tiles, one of which series is first hooked onto or engaged with the metal framework and then looked in position by the second series, substantially as hereinafter described.
One form of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a face or front view of one of the tiles of the second series; Fig. 2, a sectional view thereof on line A B of Fig. 1 Figs. 3 and 4, corresponding views of one of the tiles of the first series; Fig. 5, a face view of the nut which serves to retain or support on the framework the plates or tiles shown in Figs. 1 Fig. 6 is an end view of the structure shown in Fig. 5, taken in central section on a line at a right angle to the line C D of such Fig. 5; Fig. 7, a section on line C D, Fig. 5; Fig. 8, a sectional view of an alternative form of nut; Fig. 9, a rear view of my improved covering fixed inplace; Fig. 10, a front or face view thereof, and Fig. 11 a section on line M N P Q of Fig. 9.
The metal framework whereby. the plates or tiles forming my improved wall or ceiling covering are supported consists ofiron or,
like bars a, Figs. 9 and 11, which are arranged parallel to each other and are fixed on the wall or on the ceiling by vmeans of hooks or equivalents screwedinto the beams or into wood blocks driven orfitted into the walls or which may be supported in any other known suitable manner. The plates c of the first series (shown in Figs. 3 and 4, Fig. 3 being a face view and Fig. 4 a sectional sideview) are of about the shape shown and are formed at the back with a short cylindrical and preferably hollow trunk g, the free end of which is formed with an oblong flange or with oppositely-projecting lugs or the like, whereby the plates or tiles c'm'ay be attached to the bars a, as will be understood from Figs. 3, 4, 9, and 1 1. The other'series of plates or tiles is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. They are concentrically formed with screwed shanks j, which are adapted to be screwed into nuts (1, slidably mounted on the rods or bars a, said nuts having claws or the like p, which partly encircle the rods a, the nut proper preferably consisting of a wood block h, fixed to a metal plate d.
The plates or tilesc are engaged between alternate rows of bars a, as shown in Fig. 9, in which 0 0 0 0 indicate the backs of four plates or tiles 0. Said plates or tiles are formed on their faces with segmental grooves m near their edges, and the plates or tiles 1) are formed on their backs with circular grooves n, so as to leave a circular rib or proj ection at the edge of each plate or tile adapted to engage in the segmental grooves of the adjoining plates or tiles 0, and thus interlock the two series of plates. By this means all the plates or tiles are laterally firmly secured in position. If desired, more than one groove m may be formed in the plate and made to engage with anequivale'nt number ofribs.
The plates or tiles instead of having the forms represented in-the drawingsmay be made square, polygonal, elliptic, or of other shape, in which cases instead of claws p on the nuts or the liked I may provide the latnecessaryto unscrew the plates 6, then to i turn the plates or tiles 0 through a uarter- I 95 revolution, when they also can be ta (en off.
Besides being adapted to be readily fixed over or removed from walls or'ceilings, my improved covering has the advantage that -mortar, cement, plaster, or other adhesive matter is entirely dispensed with, and, fur ther, the invention lends itself to readily considerably enhancing the appearance of walls or ceilings.
The joints between the plates or tiles are practically quite concealed, owing to the method of interlocking them, the covering having the appearance of consisting of a single piece. Panels may be formed surrounded v i plurality of plates or tiles of cross-like form with entrant arc boundaries, and a plurality of circular plates or tiles screwed to the back frame and securing the cross arc plates or tiles in position.
2. A ceiling or wall covering comprising a suitable back frame having screw-threads, a plurality of plates or tiles of cross-like form with entrant arc boundaries, and a plurality of circular plates or tiles screwed to the back frame and securing the cross arc plates or tiles in position, the cross and circular tiles or plates bemg provided with coactmg tongues and grooves of clrcular 0r segmental form.
3. An improved covering for walls or ceilings, consisting of a suitable frame composed of parallel bars and two series of plates or tiles, one of which series is adapted to be engaged with the bars of said frame by means of a flange, lugs formed at the free end of a concentric trunk thereon, and the other of which is adapted by means of a concentric screwed shank to be fixedv to nuts slidably carried by said bars, the two series of plates or tiles being formed with grooves and tongues so that they engage with each other.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
