ABSTRACT:
A low-cost building, building section or wall, usable as a house, mobile home, vehicle, or part of these or other structures, having numerous parallel rows of end-joined used or new cans, each can preferably consisting of a tube and can-cover elements at ends of the tube and containing thermal insulation, which may be only dead air in the relatively small hollow can space but preferably includes loose small portions of low-cost insulating material, such as sawdust, vermiculite, cotton linters, dry sand or dust, ashes, cinders, ground bark, rice or other seed hulls. Abutting pairs of can cover elements are tightly held together by connecting means which may be bonding material (epoxy putty, solder or the like) or bands of slightly stretchable adhesive tape which encompass and adhere to portions of juxtaposed pairs of the end-joined cans. A layer of mesh sheathes one side of each group of the can rows, and the other side is sheathed with wall material which may be mesh or insulating solid panels. Rod-like elements (bolts, rivets, pieces of wire or the like) go thru a layer of mesh, between adjacent can rows and thru the other layer of wall material, clamping them in assembled relation; and stucco impregnates and coats the mesh. FIGS. 2 to 5 show corners of the walls or roof-and-ceiling structure, including strips that are screwed to can material. The cans may be of the type that contain liquid drink, paint, or coffee, or may be glass jars. Optionally, used cans, each of which has only one end cover and its other end open, may be utilized.
