FREDERICK WALTON, OF STAINES, ENGLAND.
Letters Patent No. 91,289, (lated June 15, 1869 patented, in England, December 11, 1868.
vIIIIMPROVIICD MODE OF CQNSTR'UCTING HCUSES I The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the lame.
To all to whom. it may concern Beit known that I, FREDERICK Watson, of Staines, in the count'y of Middlesex, England, a subject of the.
Queen of Great Britain, have invented or discovered new and useful Improvements in the Construction of `]:Io.uses'am 1 other Buildings or Structures and I, the said Encounter; War/ros, do hereby, declare the nature of the said invention, and in 'whatxmanner the same is to beperibrmed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the ibllowing'statement thereof; that is to sayvThis invention has for its object improvements in the construction of houses, and other buildings or structures.
1 construct a light building, requiring only comparatively unskilled labor in lits erection, and but little foundation, and which is very dry and warm, in the following manner:
I take a number of narrow planks, and place them horizontally, one over the other, separat-ing them, the one from the other, by placing, at intervals, blocks, or
`short uprights between them. In this way a frame of the desired dimensions is produced, the blocks being arranged in vertical lines, and the ii'ame being firmly bound together by long bolts, passing from top to bottom of it. Each bolt is passed close alongside of, or it may be through a vertical line` of blocks.. o
Theframe may be lathed and plastered on both sides, or wicker-work hurdles may be titled upon it to receive the plaster, or it may be planked, or otherwise closed.
In place of wood planks and blocks, othermaterials may, in some localities, be advantageously substitut-ed. Ilhus, for the planks, sheet-iron, bent to a trough-like form, may be used, and for the blocks, lengt-hs of iron tube may be substituted. Earthenware tubes may be similarly used, as may also cement, or concrete blocks. These blocks may be made so large as themselves to close the frame. 'lhey should then, for lightness, be cast hollow.
Blocks for this purpose= may also, very advantageonsly, be made of corkfdnst mixed with plaster of Paris. Thus, a very light block may be obtained.
Sawdust may be similarly used.
In order that my said invention may be most fully understood, and readily carried into e'ect, I will 4prooecd to describe the drawings hereunto annexed..
Description of the Drawings.
Figure 1 is an elevation of part of the frame of a building, constructed according to my invention.
a a is a wooden 'slib-which may frequently rest directly on the soil, if it be first prepared by well ram ming it.
On this sill the flooring-joists b b are fixed.
'c c are the planks, placed parallel, the one with the other, and kept apart by the blocks d d.
The openings for windows and doors are obtained by using short planks, c', V(not allowing them to run through,) as the drawing shows.
e e are the screw-boltsand nuts, by which the parts of the frame are drawn lirm-ly together. pass from the sill-plate a to the roof-platef.
Figures 2 represent a portion of a similar frame, constructed of iron, in the manner already stated.
Fillets of wood are lixed at the edges'of the horizontal iron plates, to receive the lathing and plastering, or other methods may be resorted to for vclosing the frame, as already described.
Figures 3 show a moulded block, it may be of corkdust, or sawdust and plaster, adapted to ll 'the openings in the frame. It-is made with a lip to overlap and cover the blocks d or moulded blocks of this sort may be substituted for the blocks al, the bolts e passing through them.
Having thus described the nature of my said invention, and the manner of performing the same, I would have it understood that what I claim as my improvements in the construction of houses, and other buildings or structures, is-
The combination of the planks or pieces c, blocks d, and bolts e, substantially as herein described.
