Building construction incorporating recycling tires

Details

Inventors: Clarke, Paul H.;

Primary Examiner: Chilcot, Jr.; Richard E.
Assistant Examiner: Aubrey; Beth A.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Litman; Richard C.

A novel building construction including recycled or discarded tires uses compacted bales of such tires as a structural core material. Earth is graded or formed for a foundation in the usual manner, and the compacted bales are arranged either horizontally or vertically and secured together to form cores for floor or wall structures. The tire bale core is then covered with construction screen or reinforcement bar and finally with concrete. When such compacted bales include an axial hollow center, the bales may be concentrically arranged along the axial centers to form air passages for heating and cooling air flow through the floor and/or wall interior. The bales may be stacked to form floors more than one bale layer deep, if desired, and the walls may be constructed more than one bale in thickness in a similar manner. The hollow passages provided by such construction also permits the use of at least some of the hollow vertical passages formed in the walls to be used as forms for the pouring of internal concrete columns to provide structural strength for an overlying roof structure. Remaining hollow passages may be filled with insulating material if desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION By the present invention, an improved construction for walls and other structures using a filler material is disclosed.
Accordingly, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide an improved construction using otherwise discarded and compacted baled tires as a central fill material.
Another of the objects of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which may make use of any of the standard types of bales of compacted tires which are formed by tire compacting machines.
Still another of the objects of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which may be used in the construction of walls and floors of varying thicknesses and heights.
Yet another of the objects of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which provides for relatively high structural strength.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which may be used for either open or enclosed and roofed structures.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which can provide for air circulation by means of internal passages provided by the construction.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which may be used for either wall or foundation construction.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide improved methods of construction encompassing the above structures.
With these and other objects in view which will more readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated and claimed with reference being made to the attached drawings.
