J. H. PEARSON. FACING BLOCK.
APPLICATION FILED MAY 31, 1907.
W I I JAMES H. PEARSON, OF BLOOMFIELD, INDIANA.
FACING-BLOCK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 25, 1908.
Application filed May 31. 1907. Serial No. 376.520.
' To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES H. PEARSON, citizen of the United States, residing at Bloomfield, in the county of Greene and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Facing-Blocks, of which thefollowing is a specification.
The present invention relates to an improved facing block or tile which may be employed either for exterior or interior work, and which embodies novel means for producing a secure interlocking connection with the cement or concrete block is applied.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a block of this character formed with cement receiving sockets which-are so do signed and arranged as to enable the cement to readily enter the same and form a secure joint. for retaining the block in position.
For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
F lgure 1 is' a perspective view showing a facing block embodying the invention. 2 is a back plan view of-one of the facing blocks. Fig.3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar view on the line 44 of Fig. 2.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated n all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
A facing block embodying the present invention comprises a body portion 1 which may be of any desired outline or configura tion and may be formed of any suitable material such as glass, porcelain or the like. In the present instance the facing block is shown as rectangular inshape and is provided in its rear face with a plurality of sockets 2 designed to receive the cement or concrete backing to which the facing block is applied. These sockets 2 are arranged in a plurality of groups :or rows and have their axes inclined to the face of the block, the axes of each oup being inclined in-a different direction omthoseofthe next adjacent grou whereby after the facing block has been p laced in position-and the cement has hardened or set,
backing to which the opposite directions. v .2. In a facing block comprising a body in presence of two witnesses.
the said block is held rigidly in position and can not be removed or displaced without breakage. Attention is also directed to the fact that these sockets 2 are flared outwardly,
the mouths of the same having a greater diameter than the bases, such construction enabling the cores to be readily removed when manufacturing the block, and also fa cilitating the entrance of the cement backing into the sockets. As shown on the drawing the sockets 2 are arranged in a plurality of transverse rows, the sockets of each row being arran ed alternately with respect to the sockets of the next adjacent row and being inclined in an op osite direction as will be readily apparent rom an inspection of Figs.
3 and lt-which are sectional views through the sockets of two adjacent rows. Iii-applying the facing is pressed against the green cement backing until the cement which is in a lastic conditionenters and completely 'iils all of the sockets. It will then be apparent that after the cement has hardened the facing block will be securely bonded in osition and can not be removed or displace without breaka e.
Havin thus described the invention, what is claime as new is;
I. A facing block comprising a body ortion having a plurality of circular soc ets formed therein, the said circular sockets being arranged in rows and the sockets of each row being disposed alternately with respect" block the rear face of the same to those of the next adjacent row while the sockets of the various rows are inclined inportion having a plurality of sockets formed -tl1erein wl1'ich are flared outwardly, the
mouths thereof being of a greater diameter than the bases, the said sockets being arranged in rows and the sockets of each row being" disposed alternately with respect to- .those of the next adjacent row, the sockets of the various rows being inclined in opposite directions.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature JAMES H. PEARSON. a. s.]
