Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 8, 121.19. Serial No. 482,006.

- Patented May 24', 1910.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS LAPERSONNERIE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Concrete l/Vall Construction, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and im iroved concrete wall constructo provide suitable furring strips for fastening door frames, base boards,

picturemoldings and the like securely in place on the wall, the said furring strips forming integral parts of the blocks of concrete or other plastic material.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this Specification, in

which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement; Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modified form of the same; Fig. 3 is a front end view of one of the base blocks; Fig. 4

is a side elevation of the same; Fig. 5 is av rear end view of the same; Fig. 6 is a sectional lan view'of the same on the line 6-(3 of Fig. 4:; Fig. 7 is an end view of the base block wall construction shown in- Fig.

. 2; Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the same;

. is a sectional Fig. 9 is a plan view of the end fur-ring strip and its anchor; Fig. 10 is a plan view of one of the blocks having air spaces; Fi 11 Ian view of a modified Form of the base b ock; and Fig. 12 is a cross section of one of the furring strips for the block shown in Fig. 11. I

The wall shown in Fig. 1 is formed of base blocks A, intermediate courses of concrete blocks B and a course of top blocks C, and each base block A has embedded in it opposite longitudinal furring strips D, preferably made of wood and of dovetail shape, so as to form an integral part of the block without danger of pulling out of the same. The longitudinal furring strips D of each block A are connected with each other by cross bars D, preferably notched, as indicated in Fig. 6, to assist in holding the longitudinal furring strips D against pulling out of the block in a lateral direction. Each base block A is also provided on each face with vertically disposed furring strips E, preferably of dovetail shape and extenda distance of the longitudinal furring strips D; By the arrangement described the base board can be readily secured in place onthe furring strips D and E by the use of nails, screws or other fastening devices.

In the outer ends of the blocks A and B at the door and window openings are embedded vertically disposed furring strips F to which the door casings are secured by suitable fastening devices, each furring strip F being preferably of dovetail shape at the sides and ends, as indicated in Figs. 3, 4 and 6, and the outer faces of the furring strips F are flush with the ends of the blocks A and B, and. the sides, top and bottom of the furring strips F terminate distances from the corresponding sides, top and bottom of the blocks A and B, as will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 3. Each .furring strip F is provided at its back with a staple F (see Figs. 4, 6 and 9) on which is fulcrumed an anchor F embedded in the concrete material of the block A or B. By this arrangement the furring strip F is securel held against pullin out of the'block in a dition to the dove- Each upper block C is provided with a ing from the bottom of the block to within furring strip G extending longitudinally and embedded in the corresponding side of the bloclrC, to allow of fastening picture moldings and the like to the furring strip the des red distance from the ceilin The furring stri s G are projected a distance beyond the ace of the block C, and the base blocks A are provided with offsets A a distance above the furring strips D so as to provide space for .the plaster H to extend from the flangeA to the furring strip G, thus rendering the face of the plaster H flush with the sides of the base blocks A and the furring strips G. The level I, shown in Fig. 1, shows that the faces of the furring strips D and. G lie in the same vertical plane, and a sufiicient space is provided beportion of the wall, the furring strips are slightly projected beyond the ends of the blocks A, so as toaccommodate the cement or other binding material J used between adjacent blocks, to unite the same. As indi cated in Figs. 2, 7 and 8, the base blocks A the intermediate blocks B and the upper blocks 0 are all of the same thickness, and in this case the longitudinal furring strips D for the base blocks A project beyond the sides thereof similarly to the furring strips G in the upper blocks C, and in this case the plaster H is applied to the wall between the projecting portions of the furring strips D and G, to render the face of the plaster flush with the faces of the furring strips D and G;

In the modified form shown in Fig. 11, the block K is provided on its sides with vertically-disposed grooves K, for receiving furring strips L to be inserted in the grooves K.

From the foregoing it will be seen that by the arrangement described the furring strips form integral parts of the corresponding concrete blocks and are securely embedded therein, so as to prevent the furring strips from pulling out under strain.

It is understood that although I have particularly referred to concrete blocks, the invention is applicable to blocks of plaster of paris, or other plastic materials.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A concrete block provided with a longitudinal furring strip embedded in one face thereof and having extensions projecting beyond the ends of the same, said extensions forming a continuous nailing strip over the joint and producing aspacing means for the blocks, a plurality of vertical furring stri s embedded in the block below the longitu inal strips, and a furrin strip embedded in one end of the block, said strip being spaced from the sides, to and bottom of the block.

2. A concrete b ock provided with furring strips embedded in opposite sides of the block and having extensions projecting beyond the ends of said block, said extensions esaeeo forming a continuous nailing strip over the joint and producing a spacing means for the blocks, and transverse bars connecting the said strips.

3. A concrete block provided with a longitudinal strip embedded in one face thereof and having its ends projecting beyond the ends of the block, said projecting ends form ing a continuous nailing strip over the joint and producing a spacing means for the blocks, and a plurality of vertical furring strips in the said face of the block below the longitudinal furring strip.

4. A concrete block provided with a longitudinal furring strip embedded in a face of the block and projecting beyond the ends thereof, whereby provision is made for properly spacing the blocks and forming a con tinuous strip over the oint of the blocks.

5. A concrete block provided with a longi-' tudinal furring strip embedded in a face of the block and projecting beyond the ends thereof, the furring strip being dovetailed,

the projecting ends of the strip serving as a means for spacing the blocks and forming a continuous strip over the joint of the blocks.

6. A concrete wall, comprising blocks, the base block having its upper portion reduced in thickness, a shoulder being formed at the base of the reduced portion, and the other blocks being of the same thickness as the.
