Application June 6, 1938,' Serial' No. 212,150 2 claims'. (o1. 7.2;19)
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvementsv in bricks, tiles or the' like for facing building walls and molds.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a brick or tile that is especially designed for use in covering or facing frame buildings to convert a Vframe building into a brick or tiled structure and the building element will hereinafter be referred to as a brick.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel constructionv of brick for the foregoing purpose wherein edges of the brick carry outwardly projecting lugs with the lugs of adjacent bricks being placed in end abutting contact and with one side of each lug beingin the plane of a side face of a brick while the opposite 'side of the lug is spaced from the opposite or outer face ofA the brick whereby all of the lugs are embedded in a mortar bedding or filling.
A still further object of the invention is to provide' a` mold or' form yfor the production of a monolith of bricks and of a construction to permit correct mating placements of the monolith therein onto and into interfltting engagement with a. previously laid monolith.
With the above and other objects in] view that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists of the particular formation of brick with lugs carried thereby and the manner of laying the bricks in a wall covering assembly.
In the accompanying drawing showing the preferred embodiments of the invention:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevational View of a wall construction of a frame building faced with bricks forming the subject of this invention and illustrating the spacer lugs carried by the bricks with a mortar filling between the bricks,
Figure 2 is a horizontal detail sectional View taken on line 2 2 of Figure 1, showing an end 4 lug on one brick engaged with the end wall of an adjacent brick and a mortar covering for the 111g,
Figure 3 is a vertical detail sectional view -taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1, showing end abutting lugs carried by adjacent side edges of bricks with a mortar covering for the lug,
Figure 4 is a Vertical detail sectional view taken on lin-e 4 4 of Figure l, showing the anchor nails for the foraminous sheet embedded in the cement or mortar base for the bricks,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of th bricks showing lugs projecting from opposite sides and one end of the brick,
Figure 6 is a plan view of a mold or form containing ar plurality of bricks for the production of a monolith for subsequent placement on a building wall, y
Figure 7 is a fragmentary perspective view showing'angular bricks with spacer lugs for cor` 5 ner work, and i Figure 8 is a fragmentary vertical sectional' View of the mold for forming a monolith.
The brick or tile disclosed herein isespecially designed for converting frame buildings into 10 brick or tiled structures and as shown in Figures 1 `to 4, the wall of the frame building includes the usual wall. boardsv I0 `upon which the overlapped-'cl'apboards Il are secured in the usual manner. A screen', metallathing, or a forami- 15 nous sheetIZ is securedto the outer faces of the clapboards I I by spikes orpnails I3 that have their heads Ill vas shown in Figure 4 projecting outwardly .ofthe iforaminoussheet Ii/ 2 to be anchoredin thefcement or 'mortar base that lls the interstices ofy theforaminousfsheet and also forms a support for the bricks.
As shown in Figure 5, the brick I4 for flat wall construction is of rectangular formation and includes side edges I6 and ends II. A plurality of suitably vspaced lugs IB projects outwardly of the side edges I5 of the brick with a pair of saidlugs respectively yat opposite ends of the side edges, while a single lug I9 projects from one end ITI only of a brick intermediate the side edges I6. The lugs are of rectangular formation and corresponding sides of the lugs I8 and I9 are in the plane of the inner face of the brick I6 while corresponding opposite faces of said lugs are spaced from the outer face of the brick as shown at 20 in several of the figures. 35
In facing a frame building with the bricks, it is preferable to form a plurality of the bricks into a monolith by means of the mold 2| shown in Figure 6, the bricks I5 being assembled in the mold 2I in the usual staggered arrangement with 40 the inner faces thereof disposed downwardly and with side lugs I8 of adjacent bricks in end abutting engagement, a single end lug I9 being engaged with the plain end of an adjacent brick.
The mold 2l is shaped as shown in Figure 6 for 15' the reception of a combination arrangement of bricks, but it is to be understood that the mold 2i may be of other configuration to receive other combination arrangements of bricks. The bottom wall Zia of the mold carries inwardly extending lugs 2lb that engage with the adjacent side lugs I8 of a brick I5 to provide an increased cement receiving area 2Ic at the side I6 of a brick between the lugs I8. The mold 2| as shown in Figure 8 has a bottom board 2Id slidable through the mold and the bricks with suitable face ornamentations are laid face downwardly upon said board 2| with cement poured thereover to the desired depth and which cement is worked into the spaces 22 between the engaged lugs of aacent bricks and into the spaces 2Ic. As shown in Figure 8 the upper side of the mold carries at the upper and lower edges thereof pairs of spaced pins 2|e. The monolith of bricks, before the cement has set together with the mold 2| with the cement backing 23, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, is engaged with and fills the inter-v stices of the forarninous sheet I2, the pins 2Ie of the mold engaging the clapboards II for correctly positioning the mold relative to the Wall structure so that when pressure is exerted on the bottom board 2|d of the mold, the monolith is projected from the mold as a unit for engagement with a previously laid monolith in correct plumbing fashion. The mold 2| is then removed from the wall structure and additional cement may be filled into the spaces of the bricks 26 for completely covering the heads I4 of the nails .I3 as shown at 24 in Figure 4, the cement overlying the sides of the lugs I8 and I9 and being flush, if desired, with the outer faces of the bricks I5 for locking the bricks to the mortar bedding which in turn is locked to the foraminous sheet I2. The lugs I8 carried by the side edges I6 of the brick may be arranged in groups or spaced from each other in any manner desired, a preferable arrangement being illustrated.
In Figure 7, an angular form of brick is illustrated for corner work, but the brick is otherwise of substantially the same construction as the brick I5, a corner brick being shown at |5a having an angular end extension 25, the opposite side edges of the corner brick carrying lugs |8a while a single lug ISa is carried by the outer end of the extension 25. The lugs I8a and I9a are related to the corner bricks |5a in a manner similar to the arangement of the lugs I8 and I9 on the bricks I5, the mortar bedding and lling being associated with the corner bricks, the same as shown and described in connection with the bricks I5.
From the above detailed description of the invention, it is believed that the construction and use thereof, will at once be apaprent and while there are herein shown and described the preferred embodiments, it is nevertheles to be understood that various changes may be made therein as will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
I claim:
1. In bricks for use in covering the outer sides of frame structures, a brick of rectangular form, a relatively narrow lug projecting from at least one end of the brick, relatively narrow spaced lugs projecting from opposite side edges of the bricks, the lugs being in the plane of the inner faces of the bricks and spaced from the plane of the outer face of the bricks, the bricks adapted to be laid in staggered relation with adjacent lugs abuttingly contacting, the sides and ends of the bricks being free of projections between said lugs and a cement filling between the bricks and inclosing three sides of the lugs.
2. In a brick or tile of the character described, a brick body and relatively narrow spaced lugs projecting from edges thereof and adapted for contact with lugs of adjacent bricks and said lugs being of less depth than the bricks with one side face in the plane of the inner face of the brick and the other side face spaced from the plane of the outer face of the brick. the sides and ends of the bricks being free of projections between said lugs, said bricks being of angular formation for corner work.
