Method and means for reinforcing cementatory matter
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A reinforced concrete structure comprising:
- a plurality of relatively small skeletonized three dimensional bodies of material, having desired tensil and shear strength, constructed with more than two substantially planar elements, whose planes angularly intersect, each planar element having unitary peripheries defining medial voids, the said bodies interfitting with each other and defining intercommunicating voids between and about the bodies, said voids containing hardened cementatory matter which is reinforced by said bodies;
wherein, the angularly intersecting substantially planar elements are substantially circular and three such elements are disposed in three different planes at substantially right angles to each other.

Abstract
A method and means for reinforcing concrete and the like cementatory matter wherein preformed skeletonized three dimensional bodies shaped to randomly interrelate to define interconnecting voids are thoroughly mixed into the plastic material in sufficient quantity to necessarily insure their said interrelation whereupon hardening, the tensil, shear and/or compression properties of the bodies reinforces the mass.

2. The invention according to claim 1 wherein:
- the angularly intersecting substantially planar elements are each formed from thin sheet material with three concentric flat rings each interconnected to its adjacent ring by diametrically opposed webs, the webs connecting any two adjacent rings being disposed substantially 90* from each other, the whole structure being configured with the angularly intersecting substantially planar elements in three perpendicular planes.
