Patented June 30, 1908.

Application med september 15, 1905. serial No. 278,615.

To all whom it concern: I

Be it known that I, JEFFREY T. FEEREs, a l citizen of the United States, residing at Anderson, in the county of -Madison and State usefullmprovements in Building Construction, of which Ithe following isa specification.

'My invention has relation to building construction, more particularly frame ouse construction, in which it is required or desired to employsuitable means, such. as pa/per or paper board for roviding dead air spaces etween the sheat ing and lathing.

,The 'object of my invention is to'provide a suitable board of such construction and ar' rangement as -t`o form such air s aces betweenthe lathing and sheathing an to effectually seal one from the other, and to maintain such conditions notwithstanding changes in temperature. i

Heretofore,'when aper board, for instance, Fbetween the sheathing width as the distance between the studdinff,

that even though such board was originally fitted tightly, it would in timeipermit 'the er and such condition would result, of

course, from changes intemperature. Ac'- dilicu ties by providing a board, such as a than the distance between the studding, so that when suchlboard is in placeit assumes a curved form' 'with' one perpendicular edge mgl to oep the 'joint closed at this point, the ot er perpendicular edge being secured at a studding, by which means each'space .between adjacent studding, divided 1nto two separate dead air'space`s,fis closed one from the other bythe paper board and kept sealed the paper between the studding. i Moreover, by the employment of corrugated paper board, I am enabled to providean additional of Ithe paper board itse f, inasmuch as the same, being a corrugated board, has a series of longitudinal air spaces formed between ln the drawing Figure l is a side elevation of a ortion of a wall exhibiting my paper boar in place between the studding, Fig. 2 a horizontal section of such wall and Fig. 3

sections representing modifications of` my invention.

As herein shown, the wall comprises essentially the 'studding A, sheathing B and the to the sheathing by tacks 1l, althou h the exact means for and place of attac ment'v herein shown are not essential. The other erpendicular edge of the paper board is kept 1n place within the space between 'the studding in suitable manner, as byineans ofthe tacks or buttons c, which are driven through the edge of the aper and into theisides of the'studding `adjacent such'board thereby. holding such edge in place. It will be understood after this description that owing to the greater width of the board as compared with the width or distance between the studding, such board must necessarily assume a curved form with its edges bearing with some ressure against the sides of its adjacent stud ing, with the result that the air space between two adjacent studding is divided into two dead air spaces E and F,which are effectually sealed rone from the other under all conditions' and at all temperatures, it being evident`tl1atupon any expansion or contraction of the parts of the wall or of the board, the latter will maintain the sealing action. Moreover, as hereinbefore suggested, the corrugated ,board itself forms dead air spaces separate from the, s )aces E and F.

The strips of'paper boar( may be made oi any desired length, b ut'when the ordinary commercial lengths are employed, which are of course lessthan the height of the wall, a plurality of such strips maybe employed and the same may be overlapped, an up er strip overlap ing a lower strip, viewed liiom the inside 0 the building, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

The. construction or arrangement of the paper board as above described is theV preferable one but if desired such board may partake of other forms and may be arranged or secured between vthe studding. in other ways." Forinstance in Fig. 3 I have representedetwo of'such modifications, thele'ft lhand board G is bent atits ,perpendicular edges to form the flanges g which are fastened 'by means of tacks to inner adjacent facesl of ,the studding as clearly illustrated -in said ligure. .The right hand board H is curved throughout its width with. its perpendicular I edges secured to the studding towards the 'assing diagonally through such perpendicu--. ar edges of the board and into the studrling,

outer edges thereof by means of the tacks h substantiallyv as described.

2. In. building construction, the combination, with the studding of a building, of

` a single sheet of paper board arranged to span the space between adjacent studs in curved form; substantially as described.-

3. In building construction,' the' Icom# bination, with the studding of a building, of )aper board arranged ',to span the spaces om stud to stud in curved form, both perpendicular edges-of the paperboard being iiXed stationarily in the space between the' studs and adapted to kee the air space onv the op osite sides'of the oard sealed substantia ly as described.

Y 4. In building construction, thecom*l bination, with the studding of a building, of

apenboard arranged to span the spaces om stud to stud in curved forni, one perpendicular edge of the paper board being,

xed stationarilyin the s'pacebetween the studs and the opposite edge bearing against the side of its adJacent stud, and means cooperating with said last named edge of .the

pa er board to hold the latter to the su stantially as described; 2.

' 5. In building construction, the cornbination, With the studding of a building, of aperboard arranged to span the spaces om stud to stud in curved form, one per-y stud;

pendicularedge of the; paper board being.' secured to. such sheathingadjacent one stud` and the opposite edge bearing against the next Vadjacent stu-d; substantially as described. j 'v 6. In building, construction, v the comv""loination, with studding or the like and with the sheathing thereof, of paper board arranged to span the spaces between adjacent'` studsin curved form, one perpendicular edge of the paper board being: secured to such sheathingl adjacent one stud, and the opposite edge bearing againstthenext adjacent stud, and tacks for securing the other perpendicular eldge 'of the board to the ast named stud; substantially as described.

.- 7. In building construction, the coni-V bination, with the studding .ofI the building,

of a series of paper board overlapping each .l

other and arranged perpendicularly to span the spaces in curved form from stud to stud between such studding, said boards being of a greater width than the distance between the studding and crowded into place in such curved. form; substantially as described.

l8.' In buildin construction, theA combination, with t e studding, ofr a stripof corrugated paper board arranged .perendicularly to span the spaces in curved orm from stud to stud betweenthe studding, both perpendicular edges of the board being anchored between the as described.
