WALL Bonn).

Application fled October 19, 1925. Serial No. 68,302.

These objects I accomplish with the man ufactured article illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which similar letters 1 and numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, and described in the specification forming a part of this application and pointed out in the appended claim.

n the drawings in which I have shown the best and most substantial embodiment of my invention, 'Figurel is a plan view of the sheet of the manufactured article, with parts cut away to show the reenforcement sheet of the board. Figure 2 is an end elevation of the same. Figure 3 is an end view of some of the wall board rolled into compact form.

In the drawings I have shown a piece or section of the wall board, as A, and which is made up of parallel strips B. .The said strips B are held in spaced relation to each other by the reenforclng element C which is made of intermeshing or woven wire, and

is medially and longitudinally embedded in the said strips B joining said strips into asheet and with as many of the strips as desired. The edges of the strips are beveled on each side,- as, at 1. The said strips B 95 are made of any plastic material which will set quickly, such as hydraulic cement, plaster, or papier-mach, preferably of keen cement or hard wall plaster.

In using my wall board on the interior or exterior wall of a building one of said strips B is horizontally nailed to the studding or other frame portion of the building, and bv driving small nails, suchas lath nails through the strips as desired to hold the sheet in place or by driving the nails throu'gh the exposed portions of the reenforcing element. The said wall board may then be covered on one face or side with a coating of plaster or other wall material such as stucco or cement plaster to fill the ooves between the strips. In handling an shipping my wall board the sections of the board may be rolled, as the wire is fine enou h to e nd readily where not covered with t e set plastic material, and the reenforcing wire then acts as a hinge connecting the adjacent strips B, and the beveled edges of the strips allow such rolling without injuring the board. The sections or sheets of board may be easily out to fill all small wall spaces, or to patch plastered walls.

Having thus described my invention I desire to secure by Letters Patent and claim A flexible wall board consisting of a flexible sheet of perforated reenforcing material, a plurality of bars of plaster board material formed on the flexlble sheet in spaced relation to each other to leave portions of the sheet completely exposed, the bars having their adjacent edges beveled 7 at both sides of the sheet. In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
