CHARLES H. RICHARDS, OF`AUROR/A. ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF T0 RICHSTO MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF AURORA, ILLINOIS.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
Application led October 20, 1923. Serial No. 669,699.
To il iii/wm, it may concern.
lle it hnown that l, Cuanta-:s ll. Ricu- .\izns, citizen of the Tnited States'. residing at Aurora. in the. county of Kane and State ot Illinois. have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Buildingr Constructions. ot' which the following is a full. clear, concise. and exact description.
lllyiinvention relates to building construction and has for one of its objects the provision of an improved .assembly between the floor and base boards of a room whereby the floor may settle without carrying with it the base boards and causing the plastering to be marred in the region of the base boards. In carrying out this object of my invention anchor-ages are fastened upon the tloorand are placed in extensible connection with the lower'part of the base board` these anchorages being positioned to maintain the lower part of the base board spaced apart from the wall to afford space in which plas? tering or other filling may be disposed.
The invention has for another of its objects the provision of an improved assemblage between the base board or other tinishing hoard and a wall of the building; the arf rangement. is suchthat ample open space is ati'ordcd through which plaster-ing or other filling may be inserted into the space.. between they board and wall after the board and wall have been fully assembled. ln carrying outl this object4 of my invention the board isfolded along one edgey toward the wall to form a receiving groove between the board and wall. Anchoragcs are carried by the wall and project within said groove whereby the board and wall are held in suitablv spaced apart relation. These anchorages are. themselves spaced apart sntliciently to afford wide openings between them through which the plastering orother filling material is passed int-0 the space between the board and wall a t ter the board and wall 'have `been fully assembled.
l will explain my invention lnore fully by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is an interior elevation partially in section, of a portion of the building having my invention employed in Connection therewith; Fig. 2 isa sectional -view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a detailed seetional View of the upper part of the strueture shown in Figs. 1 and 2; Fig. l is a perspective view iilnstrating one ot the devices l'or assembling a finishing board with a wall and the association of this device with a finishing board ot' a window stoolv s arrangement being adjustable; Fig. I is a sectional view ot' the structure illustrated in Figs. l and L! in thc-region ot' the, windowsill and stool: Fig. (t is a view, on a larger scale. of a portion of thelower pai" of' the structure Illustrated in Fig. l; Fig. 'i' is a sectional view on line 7-7 of Fig. G; and Fig. S is a perspective view of the base, board shown in Figs. G and 'T together' with the anchorage devices assembling same with door and walt` one of the floor anchorages being shown in separated relation.
Like parts are indicatedby simil-n' characters of reference throughout the ditl'erent figures.
l have shown an upright wall 1. having a window opening i). tl eri-in witlna .sill l and a `stool '-.t at the bottom ot this opening. The wall is taced with-a layer of plastering as indicated at 5. this plas-tering extending to the t'looring (t and around tbe tloor linishing 7 that. is upon the tloor. 'l`he base board S is formed ot sheet material. dcsirablv shed inet-al. The. lower marginal portion ot the base board' is' given a quarter turn as', indi-V cated at 'S-this base. board being continued dtnvnwaidly and vertically beyond the quarter turn as indicated at Si. the major portion nl the board and its, otl'sct contiliuatioii tt being parallel with the wall. gin ot the base board is inwardli turned lo constitute a. U told 1.o to at'ord a horizontal groove ll which 'faces downwardly. Suit ably spaced apart anchoring clips l. also olf U torni. are provided for asscniblii the top edge ot the base board with the .salt One side et each ot' these clips is received in the groove 1l. the Sides ot this groove being` desirably tightly pressed into engagement with the. sides ot' the. clips received in the groove. It desired, spot \\.'e.lding may be employedr further to assemble the clii board. The remaining` side of each clip desirably extends above the side that r; re eeived in the groove 11 and is formed with a hole 13 through .which a nail 14 is passed into the wall 1. The groove and thel board at the groove are spaced apart from the. wall,
and
' theportins of the anchorage upon the wall being in thespace between the grooved portionof Athe boardand the wall. The clips not only anchor the top portion of the base board with the wall and maintain a suitable space between the base board and wall at the top of the base board, but are also spaced apart sufficiently along the base board to permit plastering or otherlilling to be inserted to the desired extent between the base board and wall.
Angular clips l5 are attached to the main top portion 6 of the ioor byany suitable means such as screws 17 that pass through the horizontal parts of these clips 15. The upright parts of the clips 15 are provided .with lholes 18 through which theshanks of .the bolts 19-are passed. The hole 18 may be circular, snugly to receive vthe Shanks of the bolts; 'I These bolt Shanks pass through verti cally elongated holes 20. formed in the base board portion 9, these Shanks being capable .of moving downwardly in these holes 20 as the fioor 6 settles.. The clips 15 are so located as to maintain -thelower portion of the base board suitably spaced apart'from the wall.` 'If the base board and clips are of iron the bolts 19 are desirably of brass.
The result is that the floor 6 may settle with-l out'causingthe observable portion of the plaster in the region of' the base board to crack.
The finishing board 21 at the window. board 22v at the Window stool are assem led at their outer marginal portions with the wall 1 as the top 'marginal portions of the base boards are -assen bled with the wall. The clips 12 have their shorter outer sides received in the :groove lllto secure an essembly which is similar Vto the assembly'of the clips 12 and base board 8. .The longerA sides ofthe clips 12 vare anchored uponthe wall 1 by means ofnails 14.V
The finishing board '22 at the window stool isA formed with grooves 11, 112 that receives the shorter sides of the clips 122 whose longer sides are anchored upon the wall-'1 by nails 142. ,The'sides of grooves 11, 1l2 and the clip sides between them are formed in meshing corrugations extending longitudinally along the board to permit relative adjustment of clips and board.
Patent the following It is obvious that changesrnay be made Without departing froni the 4spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, I claim -a`s'new and desire to secure by Letters 1. In a building. structure, lthe combination with an upright wall and an adjacent- Hoor; of a base board anchored to and spaced apart from the wall; and anchorages secured upon the iloor in sliding connection with the lower part of the base board toA permit the fioo'r to settle without material strain upon the base board, these anchorages being positioned to maintain the lower part of 1the base board spaced apart from the wa l. f
2. In a building structure, the combination with an upright Wall andan adjacent floor; of a base board anchored to and spaced apart from the wall'; and anchorages secured upon the Hoor in extensible connection with the lower part of the base board to permit the ioor to settle without material strain upon the base boardthese anchorages being positioned to maintain the lower 'part of lilzhe base board spaced'apart from the wa 3. In a building structure, the combina- .tion with a wall; of a board folded along one edge toward the wall to form a receiving groove between the board and wall; and anchora es carried by the wall and projecting wit in said groove, said ,'anchorages being spaced apart along theboard to permit of the reception of filling material be anchorages carried by the wall'and projectin Within said groove, said anchorages being spaced aparhalong the board to permit of the reception of filling material be-v tween the board and wall, the board, where folded, and the anchorages being formed with intermeshing corrugations permitting relative adjustment of these parts.
In Witness whereof, \I hereunto subscribe my name this llthday of October A. D., 1923.
