PHILIP YENGST, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
INTER/LOCKING BRICK.
osaae'r.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 11, 1911.
To -all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP YENesT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Laurel. Hill, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Interlocking Brick, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved interlocking brick, more especially designed for use as a fire brickin the lining of boiler furnaces and the like, and arranged to insure a secure and firm interlocking of successive courses well as interlocking of the bricks in the same course, to hold the same from shifting in any direction. For this purpose each brick is provided on each face with a transverse groove and a transverse ridge, of which the ridge on one face is directly opposite the groove on the other face.
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 a number of interlocked bricks; Fig. 2 is a face view of part of a wall. formed of interlocked bricks; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the bricks.
The brick, made of tire clay or other suitable material, has the faces A, A, the sides A N andthe ends A .t The face A is provided near one end with a transverse grooved} and near the other end with a transverse ridge C, of approximately the same shape in cross section as that of the groove ii. The other face A of the brick is provided with a similar transverse groove B and. a transverse ridge C, but the latter is directly opposite the groove ll and the groove i3 is directly opposite the ridge (1. The renters ol' the grooves and ridges l3, (1 and l, are spaced about one-fourth of the length of the brick from the ends A", A5. so that when the bricks are interlocked, that is with the ridges (l, l of oncln-ick engaging the (mi'rcsponding groorcs ll. B on bricks of the next. course, then the bricks in the smizeessive courses break joints, as indicatcd in Fig. 2. However, the bricks may be laid one on top of the other, as indicated in Fig. 1, without the bricks breaking joints.
The side A of each brick is provided with a lateral enlargement D, the said enlarge ment preferably having at one end a shoulder approximately perpendicular to the edge of the brick and inclining and merging at an angle at the other end into the edgeof the brick, as plainly indicated in Fig. 3, and the opposite side A is provided with a reccss E, similar in shape to the lateral en largeinent D. The enlargement D and the recess E of each brick extend between the corresponding groove Band the ridge C and the ridge C and the groove B, as plainly indicated in Fig. 3, so that adjacent bricks in one course have their enlargements D interlocking with the recesses E to hold the bricks against lengthwise displacement. The ends A A of each brick are plain and each brick is of approximately the same rectangular shape as the bricks now used for the same purpose.
By reference to Fig. 2 it will be noticed that in alternate courses the bricks are reversed to interlock and to break joints.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the bricks readily interlock in the same courses, and the bricks in successive courses are likewise interlocked to insure the for1nation of an exceedingly secure all or lining, in which the bricks are not liable to fall out, as is so. frequently the case in linings of ordinary bricks as heretofore constructed.
llaving thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters .latcnt:
A brick of the character specified, having on one side edge intermediate the ends of the brick a lateral enlargen'ient provided at one end with a shoulder substantially perpendimdar to the brick edge and merging with the brick at the other end at an angle to the edge and having a recess on the op positc edge in alincment with the enlargement and shaped to fit the enlargement of the adjacent brick, said brick having on each of its opposite faces a transverse ridge and a transverse gI'OOVG, the ridge on one face being opposite and in alinement with the groove on the other face and being of approximately the same cross section as the groove, the said ridge and groove being on name to this specification in the presence of opposite sides of the center of the brick and two subscribing wltnesses. being approximately half Way between the said center and the adjacent end, and the PHILIPYENGST' enlargement and the recess being between \Vitnesses: the ridges and the grooves. MARTIN MCDONALD,
In testimony whereof I have signed my CHARLES RUDDEN.
