US Patent:

44506171, May 29, 1984

Filed:

May 14, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/263577

Inventors:

Thomas J. Dillon - Akron OH

Assignee:

The Dillon Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B23P 1100

US Classification:

29430

Abstract:

A system for fabricating a prefabricated home module utilizing a truss floor system with integral duct work. The module is assembled on carriers which run along a pair of tracks. A plurality of carriers can be connected to form a train which is moved from one construction station to the next. The module and mating deck components are transported to a home site and installed. The system relates to the construction of a home or building, and to modules therefor which are easily assembled, produced under factory, quality controlled conditions, and are inexpensively made.

Assignee:

Forest City Dillon, Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

E04H 112

US Classification:

52 7913

Abstract:

Elevator modules for use with an improved overall building system which consists of field assembled precast components reinforcing means embedded within site-poured concrete that forms portions of the wall and floor surfaces of the building, with the reinforcing means serving to structually unite the precast concrete components with the site-poured concrete and support the same against tension, shear and lateral shifting forces are disclosed. The elevator modules are precast components themselves having opposed front and rear walls and opposed side walls each having at least one through vertical void therein. The end walls have locating notches disposed in the bottom edges thereof. Some of the other precast components include full and partial thickness floor slabs and the locating notches in the bottom edges of the elevator modules are capable of engaging with and being supported on adjacent full thickness floor slabs. The partial thickness slabs are capable of being supported on the top edges of the elevator modules so that the site-poured concrete can simultaneously bring the partial thickness slabs to full thickness and fill the voids in the walls of the modules to form a monolithic structure.

Appl. No.:

5/286443

Inventors:

Thomas J. Dillon - Akron OH

Assignee:

Thomas J. Dillon & Co., Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

E04B 135

US Classification:

52743

Abstract:

An improved method of concrete building slab construction comprising positioning a precast base portion having longitudinally extending bridge-type reinforcing units or joists pre-stressed in place therein, with the reinforcing units being transversely stiffened on precast concrete wall panels having vertical voids and covering the slabs with concrete during final pouring operations at the building site wherein the concrete enters the vertical voids.

Inventors:

Thomas J. Dillon - Akron OH

Assignee:

FCE-Dillon, Inc. - Akron OH

International Classification:

E04H 100
E04H 104

US Classification:

52 79

Abstract:

A precast concrete module defining a combined elevator shaft and utility chase area that is one story high and stacking of the modules on top of each other during construction, resulting in a completely finished elevator shaft and utility chase at the completion of erection. By this method of construction, considerable installation time following erection is eliminated in view of the fact that many of the components are already preassembled in the module prior to lifting to location.
