PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Method of Connecting or Fastening Together Stones and Plates for
the Construction of Walls or Ceilings.
I, FRIEDRICH SCHWEITZER, Manufacturer, of 8, Bandelstrasse, Düsseldorf, in
the German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In order to connect adjoining plates or stones with each other, they are provided
at their edges or contact faces with sockets or perforations at right angles to the
respective contact faces, and iron rods or studs are inserted into the said sockets,
extending right and left of the joint (or above and below the same) into the sockets
of adjoining plates. Each bar or stud may be fixed in the socket of one plate and
project over the edge of the same for about half its length.
The perforations or sockets may extend through the plate from one edge to the
other (preferably from the top to the bottom edge in the case of plates used for
walls), and the bars may be long enough to connect three or more superposed plates
by means of the same bar.
This method of connection avoids the use of plaster, mortar, or similar binding
substances.

12 Method of Connecting or Fastening Together Stones and Plates for
the Construction of Walls or Ceilings.
I, FRIEDRICH SCHWEITZER, Manufacturer, of 8 Bandelstrasse, Düsseldorf, in
the German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
In order to connect adjoining plates or stones with each other, I provide them at
their edges or contact faces with sockets or perforations at right angles to the
respective contact faces, and insert into the said sockets iron bars or studs extending
right and left of the joint (or above and below the same) into the sockets of
adjoining plates, as illustrated by the accompanying drawings, of which Fig. 1 is
a front elevation partly in section, Fig. 2 a horizontal section and Fig. 3 a vertical
section.
.
These bars or studs Z may be fixed in the sockets of one plate and project over
the edge of the same for about half their length, or they may be loose in both
plates.
The perforations or sockets may extend through the plate from one edge to the
other (preferably from the top to the bottom edge in the case of plates used for
walls), and the bars may be long enough to connect three or more superposed plates
by the same bar.
This method of connection avoids the use of plaster, mortar, or similar binding
ubstances, and renders the erection of walls and partitions more rapid and easy.
