Leuere Peeem Ne. 82,102, deeed September 15. 1868.
. IMPROVED PAVEMEN' To LL wHoM 11' MAY coNoERNz i i Be it known that I, RICHARD FOLEY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have inventd a new ln'd improved Pavement; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exa-ct description thercof,
which will enable those skilled in the art tomake and use the same,'reference'beinghadtothe accompanying drewing, forming part of this sriecification, in which drawing- Figure 1 represents a transverse 'section of this invention; Figure 2 i s a sectionalplau or top view thereof.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts. e Thisl invention relates to a pavement composed of large blocks of Wood or stone alternating with thin strips of` flag or other stone, which are attached to the large 'blocks by pitch or other suitable cement, and'the top cdges of which are flush with the surfaceof the large blocks, in such a manncr that a smooth and level pavement is obtained, which at the same time ofl`ers a' good foot-hold to the draught-animals, and which is durable, and not vliahle to wear smooth.
This pavcm'ent is placed on .a foundation formed of a series of boxes P any desired dimensions, filled with concrcte composed of gravel and lime, or other cement, and 'lapped over '-h other, or otherwise fitted together in such a manner that a firm and durable foundation is obtained, which can be removed and replaced without diificulty, whenever it may become necessary or desirable. i
A represents my foundation, which is formed of a series of boxes, a, made of metal or any other suitable material, and formed in such a manner that they form lap-joints, as shown in fig. 1 of the drawing, or that they can be fitted together in any other firm and durable manner. These boxes are filled with concrete, formecl of e gravel or broken stone and lime, or any other suitable cement, said concrete being confined in the bo xes, and form img the foundation for the pavement. If it becomes necessary or 'desirable to take up a portion of the lPavement in order to get at the 'gas-pipes, water-pipes, or sewers, or for any other purpose, my foundation being composcd of a series of distinct boxes, can be readily removed and replaced without requiring much time or labor. I i i My Pavement is composed of aseries of large c of fiag or other stone.
Those thin strps of stone are secured to the large blocks by pitch or any. other suitable cement, and their top cdges are fiush with the surface of thelarge blocks, as clearly shown iu the drawing.
blocks, b, of Wood or stone, which altcrnate with thin smps If large blo'cks ofUwood are used in combination with thin strips of stone, the Wood wears olf a little the.-
quickest, and the thin strips of stone offer a good foot-hold to the draught-animals, and atithe same time the und or small particles wcaring off from the strips of stone, prevent the surface of the wooden blocks from becoming smooth. If large blocks of stone are made to alternate with thin strips of stone, the thin strips wear oil` the quickcst, and the surface of the pavement becomes such, that it offers a good foot-hold to the draughtanimals. Ilaving thus described my invention, 'what I claim as new, and dcsire to secure by Letters Patent,,is- The combination, in a pavement, of the foundation-boxes a, filled witlconcrete, with the surface-blocks b, and the thin strips of stone o, the said blocks b and strips c being laid iin alternation, substantially as and for the purposc dcscribcd.
