WEATHER-COVERING FOR BUILDINGS.-
To a/ZZ whom it may concern; Y.
Be it known that we, NICHOLAS FISCHER, EDWARD J. FISCHER. and PETER J. FISCHER, citizens of the United States of America, and residents of Cincinnati, county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weather-Covering for Buildings, of which the following is a specification. y
Our invention relates to coverings for buildings which take the place of aweather-boarding. The object of our invention is a covering of this kind made up of blocks and holdingstri s which interlock' firmly and snugly one wit the other, so as to form a firmy vertical covering for thel sides of buildings, and in which the blocks are of a strong construction and one which may be applied readily in the course of construction of a building.
Referrin to the accompanying drawings, in which 1i e parts are indicated by similar reference-letters, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a part o f a vertical wall o a building supplied with a weather-covering embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of a part of the vertical wall'of a building upon an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the blocks used in our weather- 'covering upon a still more enlarged scale'.
Referring to the parts, the walls of the building may consist of any of the' ordinary constructions nowr in use, such as scantling a,
covered with the ordinary boards a which,
are used to cover the framework of the building pre aratory to receiving a weather-boarding. o this boarding a we secure horizontal holding strips B at regular intervals. These holding-stri s B in cross-section are made in the form o a trapezoid, the converging sides b b being formed, preferably, atan angle of about siXtyrdegrees to the broader parallel side b2. These holding-strips B :are secured to the vertic'al boarding a/ of 'the building with the narrow parallel side b3 contacting the wall and are secured at a distance apart equal'to the width of the coveringb ocks C.
Blocks C are made, preferabl from earthenware, such as used in tile. hey are made with parallel faces c c. The inner face has formed in it a horizontal groove c2 of a shape corresponding to the shape of the holding- Specification of Letters Patenty v Application filed April 23, 1906. Serial No. 313,136.
Patented Dec. 11, 1906.
as the lower edge b of the holding-strip bears l to the arallel faces of the strips. Similarly the wa l'c5 of the groove c2 in the block is made at an angle to the face c corresponding to the angle at which the side b of t e holding-strip is made to the parallel faces thereof. The notch cz is made of a depth equal to the depth tof the holding-strip so that when. the block C is in place a cross-section through the block and the holding-strip presents the contour of a parallelogram.
The preferred form of applyingr the blocks to the wall is to secure a series o blocks in a horizontal line on a holding-strip and thento lace a series of blocks u on the adjacent liolding-strip. When the cured, it is seen that the walls c of the groove c2 take over the u per edges b of the holdingstrip, the upper e ge c3 of the block takes Vunder the lower edge b' of the holding-strip B next above the block, and that the lower edge c of theblock bears against and conforms to the face c3 of the block next below it. Thus the blocks are heldfirmly in a vertical position both by the holding-strips B and by the edges of the adjacent rows of blocks.
One end of the block C has a vertical notch co cut in its under face, and the other end of 'the block has a similar notchl c7 cut in its u per face, so that when laced'in position t e ends of the blocks over ap each other.
What we claim is-' 1. A weather-covering for buildings consisting of holding-stri s in cross-section substantially'the sha e o a trapezoid, secured to the walls of a bui ding, with the shorter faces adjacent to the wall, and rows of tiles having ooves in their inner faces fitting over the olding-strips, and having the u per edges of a row of tiles to fit under the a jacent holding-strip and under the lower edge of the adjacent row of tiles.
2.'A weather-covering for buildings con-y sisting of holding-strips in cross-section of the shape of a trapezoid to be secured horizontally to the walls of a building with the shorter parallel face adjacent tothe walls, blocks with parallel vinner and outerfaces having grooves cut inthe inner faces from the lower edge, the upper wall of the groove locks arev so selOO being made et enengle to the feces of' the lower sindv upper edges of the adjacent rows 1o block correponcclling EE0 lalhehalllgwhich tlhe of blocks. uMra. aregeote-o' `stri as -tis pexillel faces, and the upper and owel` 5 edges of the block being formed with angles PETER-J FISCER corresponding to the lower edge of the hold-l l l A ing-strip, the blocks being secured in place Witnesses: upon the holding-strips with their upper and WALTER vl?.
