This invention aims to provide an improved composite block or panel, with reference especially to flooring, adapted to interlocking connection in different arrangements of sectional or parquetry surface constructions. Its primary object is to produce a very strong and rigid block accommodated to nailing or cementing in place, which will not warp or cup and buckle out of plane, even when made of thin material, and which will at the same time be advantageously light, very simple and inexpensive to make. Another object is to give such a block a certain inherent movement capacity allowing expansion and contraction of its component parts without distortion under changing atmospheric conditions.
Qther objects in addition to the general concept and advantages of the invention will be best understood by the following description with ref erence to the attached drawing, illustrating one practical embodiment of the same in a floor block' of common form, along with several modifications of an incorporate feature.
In said drawing:

Fig. 9 is another fragmentary cross-sectional another modification of said part; and
Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional representation of two of the blocks in connecting relation, the upper half showing them about to be interlocked and the lower half showing them interlocked adjacently. I
The illustrative block is shown to comprise a plurality of ordinary wooden flooring pieces I I of, equal length, arranged longitudinally abreast or edge to edge in formation of a rectangle or square of the desired dimensions. These pieces are preferably of the standard form with the usual interconnecting tongue and groove along opposite sides and the usual clearance shear or bevel along the bottom edge for close fitting together. They may also advantageously have conventional hollow back recessing and gap cuts in the bottom to facilitate laying and holding in cement or mastic when the block is to be so applied. However, it is not essential to use pieces of such form, because entirely satisfactory results can be attained with plain or odd form strips and it is also unnecessary for the pieces to be of wood, since other material such as composition fibre may in some cases bepreferred.
In the edges of the pieces arranged togetheras stated, transverse kerfs or grooves [2 are formed at opposite ends. These grooves are desirably made of a liberal depth and of a width ordinarily somewhat greater than the width of the standard interconnecting tongue of the pieces, or approximately /2 by A, inches in a block of the standard 9x9 inch size. No depth or width is fixed, however, because the measure may be varied according to circumstance and preference, and need only be suitably proportional to the size of the block and the thickness or weight of the pieces used.
Applied with a squeezing fit into said grooves, preferably while subjecting the pieces to a lateral compression, are transverse spline members l3, comprising metal bars of a strength to be substantially inflexible. These splines shown made to conform in shape cross-sectionally to the grooves are channeled or recessed longitudinally on the outward side so as to present open slotways I4 along the edges of the pieces in place of the grooves l2 which they fill. Thus formed and applied as shell inlays to the grooves, the splines frictionally bind and hold the pieces together in a strong rigid structure, while the tensioning of a certain amount of resiliency therein causes them to press engageably into the groove walls or material of the pieces so as to wedgingly grip and hold the pieces inseparable. At the same time they permit a certain free longitudinal movement of the pieces for natural expansion and contraction under atmospheric conditions without allowing a distortion or warping of the block.
The bars providing said spline members advantageously consist of lengths or strips of sheet steel, bent or rolled into proper form as shown in Fig, 3. The simple U-shaped memberhere illustrated may be of very small wall thickness if the of the groove.
accomplish the same result.
material is stout and strong enough to make it sufiiciently inflexible after formation. Material of as little as inch thickness has been used very successfully for the purpose and thin material will in most instances be desirable for reasons of economy, weight minimization and shipping facility.
A more secure engagement and fixture of the splines within the grooves will be attained by providing thereon a plurality of projections which extend or bite into the walls or material of the pieces when the splines are driven or pressed into place. Such projections 15 are exemplified on the back of the spline in Fig. 4. These consist in this instance merely of integral portions of the splines punched out to sharpzor jagged edges. The punchings may of course be triangular, circular or of any other convenient kind. In Fig. 5, like projections or punchings are shown on the sides of the spline. It will accordingly be understood that they may be disposed in both as well as'either of thesefaces and that it is largely a matter of choice how and where the same'are provided. In' either event, the projections will burrow into ;the material against which they are forced withthe spline inserts and so hold them tenaciously. A particularly strong and unloosenable block results.
Fig. 6illustrates a modification of the splines, wherein the back wall 13a bearing against the bottom of the groove is made'thicker than the sides for greater strength. It is desirable inthis instance to make said wall merge or curve into the sides so as to eliminate sharp angleson the inside or slot-way part, but this is of course not essential. i
Fig. 7 illustrates another modification of the splines, wherein a reinforcing rib I312 extends along the back wall part and is received within a counter-groove part 1201, of the main groove l2 in the block pieces. This rib advantageously has teeth It formed along its edge, as shown in Fig. 8, to bite into the material of the pieces at the bottom-of said counter-groove. Such teeth may be'substitute for or in addition to the aforedescribed projections 1'5 which are desirably used in all forms of the splines.
A further modification is illustrated in Fig. -9. This proposes an L -shaped spline I3 in place of the U-shaped form of the other figures. In such instance or course'the splines bear against and overface only two instead'of all three walls of the grooves. However, they are wedged. in similar fashion against these two of the three walls and the free edge of 'the'back wall .part bears engagably into the third or uncovered wall Although this form is not preferred, it may have certain advantages in some cases. a
' Various other modifications .or forms also 'may be used, as the invention is not limited in this respect. Indeed, several other forms have already been designed, bu't are not here shown because they all embody the same principle and In applying the splines to the grooves in the block pieces, it is desirable to seat them deep enough to leave a fractional part'of the grooves overextending or projecting beyond the edges of the splines on all sides as shown clearly in the several views. This allows the block to be squared or milled on all four sides or edges without contacting the metal of the splines, which is aidful and in some cases necessary when a close neat fitting or interconnection of blocks is desired.
It will be obvious that the splines 13 thus serving to join the block pieces together in a rigid inseparable structure, also, by presentation of the slot-ways l4, form grooves in the ends of the block to receive the interlocking tongues of other blocks brought adjacent thereto for the purpose. This is illustrated in Fig. '10. Therein are shown two'of :the blocks in relative-positions when about to be and as connected together, the upper half exemplifying the preliminary position and the .lower half representing the final position. The
interlocking tongue Ila of the one will be seen to enter the slot-Way or groove i4 formed by the spline of the other, so as to effect a tight frictional engagement between the two.
'A narrow space 1 I, caused to be left beyond the end of said interlocking tongue when the blocks are connected together, and also a space l8, resulting from :the aforementioned shearing or gap cuttingLo-f the bottom edge of the blocks Where they acome together, advantageously :prowide for Iven'tilation and for firmer seating :in mastic when the blocksare to be so laid. The usual hollowback grooving 'of 'the block pieces of'course assists this purpose, which is however purely incidental to the invention. "If the-blocks are to be nailed instead of cemented in place, holesfinotshown) mayibe provided in the splines 13 throughiwhich then .to drive the 'nails .along such edge. I
'The illustrative block is'designed to correspond with the ordinary type having grooves at'oppo- .sit e ends and tongues at opposite sides. If desired however, the block may be made with a groove in place of the tongue at either or both sides. Fig. .2 exemplifies this 'by the showing of agroove l8 at one side .opposite'thetongue I l formed :on the other. In such instance, the
splineslare merely'terminatedat said side a fraction short of the groove depth, -so as'not to obstruct the same; The groove l9 should of course be of a width corresponding to the width of the slot-waystor grooves 14 formed by the splines, so as to similarly receiveand engage-the tongue :of .an adjacent block. The :block is accordingly adapted to laying or interlocking connection in various parquetry arrangements.
The block thus'formed has decided advantages. In addition to-extreme simplicity, great strength, 'inseparability and prevention of warping or cuppingf, combining the advantages of both wood and metal splines, while yet allowing the natural adjustments to atmospheric influences,
it utilizes .the same means that produce :these iseveral :results to form grooves vfor interlocking tongue engagement with other blocks lai'dtherewith. Another advantage of considerable importance is that the block can 'be made cheaply and rapidly in large numbers on zma'chines here- 'tofore used only for theapplication of wooden inserts, such for example as the automatic panel forming or trimming, grooving and spline inserting machine set forth in myprior Patents Nos. 1,762,642 and 1,762,643 dated June 10, 1930, re-
