l Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mays, 1921.

Application led May 23, 1918. Serial No. 236,164.

To all whom 25 may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN K. SHAW, a citizen of the United States; residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Corner Structures for Inclosures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to buildings and other structures, and has for .its object to provide a corner construction for the same which will be neat in appearance'and at the same time adapted to protect the end edges of the paper boards made of material.

With this and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and combinations of parts more fully hereinafter disclosed and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in which like numerals designate like parts in all the viewsz Figure 1 is a perspective View of a corner of a building made in accordance with this invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the lines 2-2 of Figs. l and 3, looking in the direction of the arrows;

F ig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

1, 2 and 3 indicate the timbers of anya suitable corner construction, 4 and 5 the timbers or side wall constructions, and 6 and 7 boards made of heat insulating board material to be described below. '8 indicates an integral corner piece preferably of wood having the side . edges 9 and 10 against which the boards 6 and 7 respectively abut, and also provided with the shoulders or ofi'- set members 12 and'13 which serve largely for ornamental urposes. The boards 6 and 7 differ from ot er board materials in that -they are very light and porous, they have a edges abut, serve to protect said end edges both from the Weather and from mechanical abrasion.

It is preferred to overlap succeeding boards 6 of one side wall as best illustrated in Fig. 2, and to overlap the corresponding set of boards 7 constituting the other side wall, as will be clear from Fig. 1. The overlapping of the two sets of boards 6 and 7leaves triangular spaces which are conveniently filled by the Wedge like pieces 15 as will be clear from Fig. 2.

The corner pieces 1 and 3 are offset to form a regular space 16 into which fits an inner set of boards 18 against which abut another set of inner boards 19, as will be clear from Fig. 3. These said boards 18 and 19 may be covered by plaster 20,' or other plastic, or suitable material, and thus an inner wall may be formed of high heat insulating qualities which is separated from the outer walls by an air space 21.

It is obvious that those skilled in the art may vary the details of construction as Well as the arrangement of parts; and the uses to which this'structure may be put, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and therefore, I .do not Wishv to be limited to the above disclosure except as may be required by th'e claims.

What I claim is I A l. In a building the combination of acorner construction; a set 1of wall members joined to said construction; a second set of wall members joined to said construction and making an angle with said first named set; a set of overlapping porous, heat insulating boardsv of material having fragile edges overlying said first named wall members; a second set of plorous, heat insulating overlapping boards aving fragilel edges overlying said second named wall members the fra 11e end edges of which are spaced from te fragile end edges of said first named set of overlapping boards; wedges located between said boards, and said wall members; and an integral corner member of woodl located betweenvsaid end Aedges and having side surfaces against which said fragile end ed s abut, whereby the latter are protected rom injury, substantially as described.

2. In a building the.combination of a corner construction;l a set of wall-"members joined to saidconstruction; a second set of Wall members joined to said construction and making an angle with said Iirst named set; a set of overlapping porous boards having fragile end edgesoverlying said first named wall members; a second' set of porous overlapping boards overlyin said seeond named Wall members having ragile end edges which are spaced from the end edges of said first named set of overlapping 10 boards; wedges located between vsaid boards and said wall members; an integral corner member of Wood located between said fragile end edges and having side surfaces against which said fragile end edges abut, whereby the latter are protected from injury.; and an inner wall of porous, heat insulating board forming an air space inside said wall members, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.

JOHN K. SHAW.
