Application March 9, 1953, Serial No. 341,010
4 Claims. (Cl. 20-4 skilled labor necessary in the construction of a building.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of means for wedgedly interlockingly securing abutting prefabricated building construction units to each other employing a novel joint which insures the correct alignment of the prefabricated building construction units.
Still further objects of the invention reside in this building construction which is strong and durable, capable of being used to erect a building with a minimum expenditure of time and effort, which has good insulating qualities and which requires no additional expenditure of materials thereby effectively reducing the cost to the builder in the construction of a building.
These, together with the various ancillary objects and features of the invention which will become apparent as the following description proceeds, are attained by this building construction which is disclosed in the accompanying drawings, various elements thereof being shown by example only in the drawings, wherein:
Figure l is an elevational view of a portion of a building constructed in accordance with the present invention with parts thereof being broken away to show the interior construction of the building construction units and other parts being shown in section for greatest detail;
Figure 2 is an elevational view showing the construction of doorway formed from building construction units employing the concept of this invention with parts broken away to show the framework with greater clarity;
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view as taken along the plane of line 3-3 in Figure 1 showing a corner construction;
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view as taken along the plane of line 44 in Figure 1 showing the manner in which the building units are tied together at their upper ends thereof;
Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view as taken along the plane of line 55 in Figure 1 showing the construction of the building construction units in combination with a shoe plate which has been secured to a concrete floor; and,
Figure 6 is a horizontal sectional view showing the construction of the joint employed in this invention.
With continuing reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals designate similar parts throughout the various views, and with particular reference initially to Figure 6, it will be noted that there are provided a plurality of story height building construction units which are arranged and secured in abutting relationship. A joint for interlocking these building construction units is provided. This construction can be best seen in Figure 6 and therein reference numeral 10 designates an outer panel of a first building construction unit while reference numeral 12 designates the inner panel of this unit. The outer and inner panels are held in spaced relationship by suitable studs or supporting members. A vertically extending member 14 is secured to the outer panel 10 by means of nails 16 or other suitable fasteners. The outer edge 18 of the portion of the member 14 which extends beyond the panel 10 is bevelled. Secured to the inner surface of the member 14 is a wedge 20 held in position by a plurality of nails or other fasteners 22. The outer panel 24 of a second building construction unit is held in spaced relationship with the inner panel 26 thereof which has secured thereto by means of nails or fasteners 28 another vertically extending member 30. This vertically extending member 30 has its inner edge 32 of the portion extending beyond the panel 26 bevelled. A wedge 34 is secured to the outer surface of the member 34 by means of nails 36 or other fasteners. The first building construction unit is placed next to the second building construction unit. The wedges 20 and 34 will then cause the building construction units to become aligned when pressed together. Further, the wedges will provide means for substantially stiffening the entire construction. Nails 38 may be then used to secure the outer panel 24 of the second building construction unit to the vertically extending member 14 and nails 40 may be used to hold the inner panel 12 of the first building construction unit to the vertically extending unit 30. Nails 42 or other fasteners are then driven through the panel 10, the vertically extending member 14, the wedge 20, and the vertically extending member 30 to securely lock the two abutting building units in secure engagement.
There is illustrated in Figure 3 a corner construction employing a joint utilizing the concept of this invention. A building construction unit having an outer panel 44 and an inner panel 46 with a vertically extending member 48 secured to the outer panel 44 extends perpendicularly to another building construction unit having an outer panel 50 and an inner panel 52 held in spaced relationship with a vertically extending member 54. Nails 56 and 58 are used to secure the vertically extending members 48 and 54 to the panels 44 and 52 respectively. A corner unit including a pair of corner panels 60 and 62 to which there is secured an enlarged vertically extending unit 64 is provided. A wedge 66 is secured to the vertically extending member 64 and is provided with a shoulder 68 to form surfaces 70 and 72 which are adapted to engage the vertically extending member 54 and 48 respectively. A comparatively large nail 74 is then used to secure the assembly. Further, nails 76 may be driven through the panel 60 and into the vertical member 48 and nail 78 may be driven through the outer panel 50 and into the enlarged vertically extending member 64. It is to be noted that the corner panels 60 and 62 are secured to the vertically extending member 64 by means of nails 80 and 82. To further rigidify the structure a composite member 84 is secured to the outer panel 46 by means of nails 86. In the assembly, as is shown in Figure 3, the nails securing the elements of each of the building units and corner units are shown in solid lines while the nails used to secure the units to each other are shown in dotted lines.
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the manner in which the upper and lower portions of a panel constructed in accordance with this invention are secured to the a top section member and a shoe plate respectively. The
inner panel 88 and the outer panel 90 are secured by means of nails 92 and 94, respectively, to a horizontally extending member 96. Then, the top section member 98 is nailed by means of nails 100 to the horizontal member 96 and positioned to extend between a plurality of building units. The lower portions of the building unit have the inner and outer panel 88 and 90, respectively, secured by means of nails 102 and 103 to a lower horizontally extending member 104. Then, the building units may be placed over the shoe plate 106 which is bolted by means of bolt 108 to the concrete floor 110. Nails 112 are used to secure the lower horizontal member 104 to the shoe plate 106 and nails 114 and 116 are used to secure the inner panel 88 and outer panel 90 to the shoe plate 106.
As can be observed from an inspection of Figure 1, when it is desired to provide an access opening, such as a window, in one of the panels, it is merely necessary to provide frame members 118 and 120 which extend upwardly from the lower horizontal member 104 to the height determined by the upper limits of the access opening. Then, a horizontally extending member 122 may be supported on the ends of the vertical members 118 and 120 and secured as is necessary. A transverse horizontally extending member 124 may then be terminally secured to the vertical members 118 and 120 to define the lower limits of the access opening. This member 124 may be supported by a vertically extending member 126. A panel constructed so as to provide an access opening may be readily substituted for an imperforate panel. Likewise, when it is necessary to provide a door, a panel is constructed having the lower horizontal member substantially eliminated. The shoe plate 106 is also eliminated and the panel is constructed similar to that of the window panel shown in Figure 1 with the exception that a horizontal member is not provided to define the lower limits of the access opening. This construction will provide a very acceptable door frame.
Since from the foregoing, the construction and advantages of this building construction are readily apparent, further description is believed to be unnecessary.
However, since numerous modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art after a consideration of the foregoing specification and accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the invention to the precise embodiment shown and described, but all suitable modifications and equivalents may be readily resorted to which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
