Definitions

  • the present invention relates to arches for use in buildings, in particular, brickwork arches, Such arches may be suitable for location over architectural features as windows, doors panels etc., and may have various shapes from flat to semi-circular, gothic and many other decorative forms.
  • arches have been made by various methods.
  • arches have comprised a series of upright or "soldier" bricks arranged side-by-side over the feature and supported either by a lintel beneath or by a rod passing through the bricks from one end of the arch to the other. This would constitute a flat arch.
  • This basic design might be varied by using suitably tapered bricks to arrive at a trapezium- shaped arch having a flat top and bottom.
  • GB-A-561070 shows a form of brick in which one of the faces is inclined relative to the opposite face, for constructional reasons. It is not concerned with the formation of arches possessing any aesthetic qualities.
  • an arch comprising a series of bricks laid side by side as a horizontal arch course, characterised in that at least some of the bricks have a cut away portion facing forwards over part of their surface to define a pattern along the length of the course.
  • the bricks may be of any suitable material and are generally cuboidal, apart from the cutaway portion.
  • the cutaway portions preferably extend into the under surfaces of the bricks and preferably progressively increase in size towards the middle of the arch, thereby defining a curved or gothic arch shape.
  • the pattern preferably extends along the entire length of the arch course thereby spanning the feature beneath the arch.
  • the arch construction in accordance with the invention enables an appearance to be given, or a curved arch since the cutaway portions will be in shadow and will be set back from the facing surface of the arch, while still having the constructional advantages of a flat arch. Furthermore, the inside surfaces exposed in 5 the cutaway portions may be naturally darker if flash" bricks are used.
  • the arch course is laid on a standard lintel support spanning the feature over which the arch extends.
  • the cutaway portion may extend back as far or almost as far as the lintel at the greatest extent of the cutaway.
  • the bricks forming the arch may be supported by a rod passing through them along the length of the course.
  • the pattern defined by the cutaway portions can be increased in size by using larger bricks.
  • the entire arch may be highlighted in the building by setting the arch course forward of the plane of the wall.
  • the invention also extends to a set of bricks for forming such an arch, i.e. a set of bricks having cutaway portions which together progressively define a desired pattern such as a curved arch shape.
  • the invention may be particularly effective when hand thrown bricks are used.
  • an arch 11 comprises a series of bricks 12 (sixteen in the present embodiment) laid on a lintel 14 spanning a window 15.
  • Each brick 12 has a cutaway 13 in the front face extending back to the under surface. Without the cutaways, the bricks are 215mm high, 140mm deep and 65mm wide, though, of course, other sizes could be used.
  • the cutaways 13 all extend back 48mm but their vertical extents are graduated from zero at the extreme outer edge of the outermost bricks 12 to 112mm at the inner edges of the centre bricks 12. The gradation of the cutaways 13 is such that they form a smooth shallow curved arch shape.
  • Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 show various arch configurations which are possible in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 6 show a deeper curve formed by the cutaways;
  • Figure 7 corresponds to the shape of Figures 1 and 2;
  • Figure 8 shows a shallower curve, and
  • Figure 9 shows a gothic arch design.
  • many other designs would be eminently possible.
  • the significant point is that the bricks are arranged horizontally with the result that a simple lintel or rod can be used for support. This results in an inexpensive and simple system which requires no special skills, in assembly, no special support members, no special formers, and no infil panels or non-standard window shapes.
