ABSTRACT:
A bundle of three or more rows of end-joined cans (preferably in multiples of two rows) arranged around an axis of the group, clamped into a unit by flexible ties, such as: loops of adhesive strapping tape: apertured strips or tapes of thin metal, cloth or plastic, with tape ends fastened together by adhesive on the tape, or bolts, rivets or the like thru tape-end or network apertures, or snap fasteners with a stud on one end of each cloth or plastic tape loop and a crown on the other: loops of cord with bands; or the like. This bundle may be used on the tubular framework of a wall, ceiling or roof of a stationary building, mobile home, trailer or vehicle, the framework preferably stuccoed on one side and stuccoed, plastered or otherwise wall-finished on the other. Optionally (and preferably when used as a ceiling or roof member), the bundle includes a middle core or V-shaped strip of concrete, mortar or other plastic material, poured downward into a middle channel between vertically-placed can rows or into V-shaped access between outer can-sidewall portions of two horizontally placed can rows. The bundle may be mold-sheathed in a matrix of plastic material (for example: porous concrete comprising portland or mortar cement and light-weight, porous aggregate: or formed residue plastic: or epoxy, asphalt or other adhesive mixed with fine porous aggregate such as vermiculite. The matrix may be in the form of a building bar, panel, block or wall-corner member. The cans preferably are used, each with an opening at a can-row joint that is contiguous with the end of an adjacent can. These joints and the imperforate can-end plate at each end of each can row prevent entry of fluent molding material into the rows. Preferably, adjacent ends of the cans of each row are fastened together (e.g., by: adhesive, solder or the like between the ends: adhesive tape around abutting can ends: wire glued or soldered to sides of the cans: or strips of wire or other network glued or soldered to portions of can sidewalls. Optionally, the can row may include pairs of adjacent cans of different diameters, the end of a can of smaller diameter fitting in a recessed can-end cap of a larger can. For bundle strength, preferably, the can-row joints at one end and a shorter can at the other end, with each row-end longer can in a bundle of an even number of rows being between two of the shorter cans. The invention includes a method of making a construction member and wall.
