Abstract
A skeleton wall structure providing a form and matrix for building walls (both exterior and interior and including floors and ceilings) for providing a reinforced concrete or similar type structure.
Claims5
A building form and reinforcing matrix comprising:
- a pair of wire mesh sections having a plurality of substantially parallel longitudinally extending wires bonded to a plurality of substantially parallel transversely extending wires;
- a plurality of sinuous wire truss members extending between and secured to and supporting said sections in spaced-apart substantially parallel planes, said truss members running generally longitudinally of said sections and being spaced apart transversely of said sections;
- said truss members having angularly related sides joined in apexes with said sides mounted upon and bonded to the longitudinal wires of one of said sections at positions spaced from their connected apexes to provide an outward projection of said apexes from said longitudinal wires in a rigid triangular structure;
- the joinder of said transverse wires to said longitudinal wires being at positions spaced from the joinders of said truss members to said longitudinal wires, thereby spacing said apexes from any transversely extending wires;
- and
- said truss members being positioned so that the apexes of transversely adjacent truss members are offset longitudinally from each other.
