Tall whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM Doriana citizen of the United States, residing at Balboa, inthe Territory of Canal' Zone, Republic-of Panama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buildin Construction; and I do herebyde'clare re following tobe a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others in the art to which it appertaijns to make and use the same.

This invention relates-to new and useful improvements in building-construction and has for its principal object to rovide a novel method of constructing buil ing walls to render the same Water and air tight.

Another object of the invention, is to provide a building'wall' having a-dead air space formed therein, which materially assists in maintaining the interior of the building at a constant temperature.

- A still further object yof the invention is to provide ya simplified construction of wall which will render the same lire-proof as 25 well as moisture-proof and which will facilitate land cheapen such construction. l

A still further object of the invention'is to provide an exterior 'construction which will permit the user, when so desired, to change the interior of the structure Without affecting the ,exterior in any way.

A further and more specific objectof the invention is to rovide afbuilding which is particularly a apted for use in tropical climates, whereinit is of utmost importance to keep the inner walls dry and also keep the interior of .buildings cool.

Heretofore it has been the practice in putting'up lbuildings of concrete construction to tie the inner and outer walls in Some suitable way or to use small blocks. Both of these methods have been found very deicionsinc'e the moisture will pass from the outer wall through the connect' means to lthe inner Wall and thus injure t e interior finish. The old type of wall is also disadvantageous for the reason that the inner structure can not be changed nor removed without disturbing the outer wall and due to the fact that it is'frequently necessary to get at the space between the Walls in order toremove any vermin or otherfpests of an undesirable nature, it is apparent that these walls are not altogether satisfactory. 1

- With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement cf para. which-win be any ser forth inf the following speci'cation and in' the accompanyin drawing, which:

Figurel is af rag-mentary 'view of-a wall-A constructed in accordance with this inventionfthesame being'4 partially broken away to clearly illustrate t e details ofl construction. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional'view taken online 2--2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal rsectional view of a wall confstructedin accordance with this invention and showing the same complete'. Fig. '4 is a view similar to Fig/3 illustrating the wall without the finish coat, and Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 3 illustrating the wall without the backing coat.

Referring now to the drawings by characters of reference, the numeral 1 designates the foundation or sill of'a building of 'tlie= usual construction, to which theuslalstds as-clearly shown'A in the Ydrawings,,Y and are? arranged to support the "interior structure during the Lprocess of construction fof* the buildin vvxtending upwardly at spaced inte'rva s from the studs I are: vovid'cd''the angle bars 4 which are elnbe ded in th" foundation and arearr'anged to'form support or'the wire fabric 6. angle bars 4- are stapled, wired or otherwise. secured to the roof rafters and after'the building has completed and theA settlement thereof` started, the angles 4:' assist in slipport" Athe superstructure.- This v wire fabric "dA or'ms the base to whichv the mi'rtur'which will'be more fully hereinafter descri d, is

applied. f

he stucco hereinbefore referred to is peferably of three coats as will'be `more lly hereinafter described, but it isto be understood that when so desired an -number of finishing coats may be applic at the desire of the user. The first coat to be applied to the an les and wire fabric hereinbefore describe isthe scratch` coat desi nated by the numeral 7 this, scratch coat 7 1s placed mposltion and keyed as at 8 through ,l

thespaces formed by the wire fabric 6. will thus be seen that the coat will be firmly held in place and is in readiness to receive the finis backing coat which is designated by .the numeral 9 is then put in place and 1s arranged so. that it adheres to the keys 8 of the scratch coat and forms a smooth surface encoat and backing coats, which will .be more fully 'hereinafter described.

there is nothing 'to convey heat, cold nor moisture across the dead 'air.y space from the outer to the inner wallstructurej It isalso a Imted that theouter wall structure-'being monolithic; will,4 prevent vermin from infeetf ing the building' thereby rendering 'the same vermin proof.I Due.
