Description

- Feb 11, 1930. F. EfWEBSTEF? FOUNDATION Filed Dec. 12, 1927 v Inventor 226/ E, meme Patented Feb. 11, 1930 PATENT QFFEQE FRED ELBURN WEBSTER, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS FOUNDATION Application filed December 12, 1927. Serial No. 239,474.
The present invention relates to improvements in foundations for use in the construction of dwellings, and light apartments, and is especially adapted to be used where soils have small resisting qualities.
One of the important objects of the present invention is to provide a foundation that is provided with reinforcing means, the foundation being simple in construction, in-
expensive, strong and durable and further well adapted to the purposes for which it is designed.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the accompanying drawing wherein like reference characters indicate like parts:
The figure represents a cross sectional view through the foundation embodying my invention showing the manner in which the steel rods are embedded or arranged therein and further disclosing the manner of arranging the steel stirrups.
In the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates generally my improved foundation, the same being of substantially T-shaped' design. The foundation is preferably formed from concrete and arranged or embedded in the leg as well as the arm portions of this T-shaped foundation are the rods 2, the same being spaced with respect to one another in the manner as clearly illustrated in the drawings. The foundation of course is of any clesirable length and the rods 2 extend for the same length as the foundation. The upper face of the cross arms of this substantially T- shaped foundation lies flush with the grade A.
A series of steel stirrups are bent around the steel rods 2 and these stirrups 3 are also to be embedded within the concrete T-shaped foundation. The free ends of each of the steel stirrups however, extend upwardly through the upper face of the intermediate portion of the foundation as illustrated at 4, and are to be embedded in the concrete rectangular base B which rests on the upper face of the intermediate portion of the T-shaped beam 1, and on which base is built the walls O of the building.
The steel rods as well as the stirrups provide a means for reinforcing the T-shaped beam by rendering them strong and durable.
The present invention is designed for use where the top soil is very light in carrying capacity and of a shifting nature such as is found in the southwestern part of the United States.
A substantially T-shaped beam comprising my improved foundation will save considerable material and expense in building constructions, and furthermore the same will at all times be positive and efiicient in carrying out the purposes for which it is used.
While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is A foundation for building constructions comprising a base of T-shaped cross section, and a member of stiff material bent in the outline of a T for embedment in the said base, the upper portion of the T-shaped member being broken and the end portions of the said member being disposed above the base for embedment in the supported wall of the building construction.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
FRED ELBURN WEBSTER.
