Abstract: 24,271. Weston, B. S. Nov. 1. Shoring and strutting.-Relates to means for straightening walls that are out of the perpendicular. The mortar joint is raked out where the wall commences to incline, and at intervals deeper recesses are cut, into which tongued brackets E are driven. The brackets are formed with projections I which are wedged to chisels H driven into the walls through holes G. The wall is slowly lifted until vertical by means of simultaneously-operated jacks J supported by a cross timber C resting on bracket blocks B adjustably mounted on supports A resting against the wall. The timber C, if of extended length, may be trussed, chain ties and screw struts being used for varying the position and degree of support. A length of light hooping with a bedding of cement and sand is then placed in the open joint, and slate is inserted above the hooping, after which the jacks may be removed and the joint pointed. The scaffold boards from which the jacks &c. are manipulated are carried by adjustable brackets N on the supports A. The wall brackets are formed with bolt slots to allow them to be used in pairs in cases of underpinning, sinkage, and similar work where the bond between the two sides is insufficient.
