APPLICATION FILED MAY 23, 1912. 1,063,439, Patented June 3, 1913.

2 SHEETS-SHEET 2,

'23 and the header A24 are both molded the not only adapted to -receive the window frame, but also f to receive the abutting double wall elements. The sill and header may be molded with suitable ornamentation, and the sill below and header above/are both capable of'being held in alinenent by the metal ties in a simple and efficient manner. It should be observed that I do not extend these reinforced studs from the bottom to the top of t'he wall, but I prefer to have them in short length ;-that is running vertically along only a single slab, as shown in Fig. 1, in one course of slabs, and in the next course these studs are located between the next vertical joints between the slabs, thereby affording a means whereby the-reinforce-4 ment is possible with a broken gfointed wall.

It will be observed that the upper ends of the companion wall are provided with a header 25, which may be made either of wood or concrete, the object being to bind together the companion walls, and on this header, which extends along the wall longitudinally, the upper joists V26 are placed as shown. y

The slabs which abut the side of the window frame, may have a wooden filling strip, as shown, for Instance in Fig. 8, this strip 27 bein of such width asto properly space apart t e inner and the outer slabs, and when the tie 'overlaps the two slabs, and the window frame is placed in position and secured tothe wooden filling strip, the whole structure 'becomes homogeneous, and alsoI serves as a bracin for the wall.

It is obvious gaat the hollow space or s aces between the companion wall maj7 be led with concrete, so as to provide a wall capable of sustaining a heavy load and adapted for lateral stress, which would be deslrable for warehouse, factory buildings, or'other like structures. I show such inter'iblilhngat A, Ifig. 2. Y

. practwe the inner and the outer walls are p' astered, as at 25, Ithe whole making y not only a' rigid but an ornamental wall readily laid in and easily lined up in the process of building,

What I claim as new, is

1. In a building construct-ion, a series of slabs spaced apart to form an inner and an outer wall, a stud between the slabs, and ties with wings en aging the slabs near they studs and over apping and engaging the studs, interlocking the inner and outer walls and studs together.

2. In a building construction, a series. of slabs spaced apart to form an inner and an outer wall, a concrete stud between the ends of the slabs, the inner and outer faces of the stud being substantially flush with the inner and outer faces of the slabs, and ties with wings engaging the slabs near the studs and overlapping and engaging the studs, interlooking the inner and outer walls andstuds together.

3. In a building construction, a series of slabs spaced apart to form an inner and an outer wall, a concrete stud between the ends of the slabs, and ties with wings engaging the slabs near the studs and overlapping and engaging the studs, interlockingr the inner and outer walls and studs together, the ties having wings engaging the inner faces of both walls.

4. In a building construction, a series of.

slabs spaced apart to form an inner and an outer wall, axconcrete stud between the ends of the slabs, and ties with wings engaging the slabs` near the studs and overlapping and engaging the studs, interlocking the inner and outer walls and studs together, and a bracket cast integral with the stud and projectin from the outer face thereof.

Signed at t e cit of Los Angeles, county of Los Angeles, tate oftrCalifornia., this 16th day of May, 1912, in the presence of 90 witnesses.
