6 Claims. (01. 18934) This invention relates to improvements in building construction.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a preformed skeleton framework for a wall, ceiling, partition, or floor which may be fabricated and set-up in sections rigidly joined together to fulfill my desired dimensional requirements. Means are provided, too, whereby the frame will receive any type of facing, as tile, brick, glass, plaster, etc., such means insuring alignment and spacing of the facing units with geometrical precision. Further, the sectional components are equipped with openings through which pipes, columns, lintels, struts, conduits, or the like, may extend, and be concealed from View; and finally, there are refinements in the nature of couplings and stops for the section.
Each section of the preformed frame is composed of plates which are criss-crossed in interlocking relation to simulate lattice work. Fins and flanges are carried by opposite edges of the plates as a medium for fastening tile or other facing, and Wire mesh. Intermediate flanges are bendable out of their normal supporting position to permit tile of unconventional size to lie flat against the fins. The fins extend to either side of the outer edges of the plate, and are apertured, thereby affording a liberal backing for the facing, and by reason of the aperture, allowing for keying the fin in plaster or other similar material.
Along the medial body portion of each plate are spaced openings of relatively large diameter, which are in registration transversely, longitudinally and diagonally. Pipes, conduits, etc., may be trained through these openings, as desired, and are thus hidden.
Couplings and stops for the sections will be described presently.
Obviously, the novel frame is also susceptible of being filled with insulation, as rock wool.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of one of the rectangular partitions.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of one section of the frame.
Fig. 3 is a similar View showingthe manner in which tile is employed as a facing.
Fig. 4 is a similar view illustrating the application of wire mesh to the section.
Fig. 5 illustrates the incorporation of a single tile of large dimensions.
Fig. 6 is a top plan of one of the plates, and
Fig. '7 is a side elevation of the lower edge of the plate.
Fig. 8 is a vertical section of a jamb stop.
Fig. 9 is a top plan of the jamb stop.
Fig. 10 is a top plan of a modified corner plate.
Fig. 11 shows a vertical section of a portion of a finished wall.
Fig. 12 is an elevation indicating the manner of employing glass as a facing, and
Fig. 13 is a top plan of the section coupling, partly broken away to show more clearly the seating of the disc.
Fig. 14 is a top plan view of a modified form of plate wherein the kerfs are arranged in alternate relationship on opposite sides thereof.
Like reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts in the following description.
The frame, as may be best seen in Figs. 1, 2, 6 and 7, is constructed of a plurality of vertical and horizontal sheet metal, for example, aluminum, plates I and 2, of any suitable dimensions. Each plate is provided at opposite edges with alternately disposed'fins 3, apertured at 4; with corner rectilinear flanges 5, medial openings 6, and transverse kerfs I, which latter extend outwardly from a central point and bisect the flanges located on one edge.
In assembling, the plates l and 2, which by way of example, may be fashioned in four feet lengths, are criss-crossed, with the kerfs 1 of one set of plates embracing the solid portions of another set, so as to present a continuous structure or section of uniform thickness with numerous rectangular partitions 8-see Figs. 1 and 2. If desired, the inner edges of the bisected flanges 5 may be rebated, as at 9, in Fig. 13, to serve as a lead guide for facilitating the joining and interlocking of the plates. Or the kerfs may be formed in alternate relation (not shown) one on one side of the plate and one oppositely and alternately disposed on the other.
The plates of one section are connected to the plates of an adjoining section by means of the coupling I0, shown in Fig. 13, which consists of a pair of superimposed strips II and an interposed spacing disc l2, riveted or otherwise connected together at l3. Confronting sides of the strips ll exert a clipping action on the outer sides of meeting extremities of the plates, while the disc I2 seats itself in the semi circular recesses l4 disposed midway of the edges of the plates, and firmly anchors the joint.
A stop l5, somewhat similar in construction to 'the coupling ill just described, is illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9. It comprises a pairof right angular:
strips 16, one above the other, with an interven ing semi-circular disc l1, all riveted or otherported frame, which are relatively short distances wise together at I8. This device is used when apart, thereby reducing the give of the lath to abutments or ceilings are encountered, and in aminimum.
