Article of manufacture for wood construction
View Patent ↗An article of manufacture for wood construction, comprising: a plurality of layers facially attached to each other, each layer comprising a plurality of primary wood members, each neighboring two of the primary wood members being connected by a plurality of connecting wood members, each connecting wood member extending between the two neighboring primary wood members, each one of the layers being oriented with each primary wood member of the layer overlapping a plurality of respective connecting wood members of a neighboring one of the layers.
1. An article of manufacture for wood construction, comprising:
an odd layer comprising a plurality of primary wood members configured substantially parallel to, distanced from, and not contacting each other; each neighboring two of said primary wood members being connected substantially perpendicularly by a plurality of connecting wood members, each connecting wood member configured substantially parallel to, distanced from, and not contacting each other;
a plurality of connection joints definable where said primary wood members are connected by said connecting wood members; and
an even layer having a configuration and a shape substantially the same as said odd layer,
wherein said article is configured of successive odd and even layers facially attached to each other, said even layers rotatably oriented substantially perpendicular to said odd layers, with respective connection joints of said odd and even layers substantially aligned.
2. The article of claim 1 , wherein said layers are attached to form a wall.
3. The article of claim 1 , wherein said layers are attached to form a roof.
4. The article of claim 1 , wherein said layers are attached using an adhesive.
5. A method for wood construction, comprising the steps of:
a) configuring an odd layer comprising a plurality of primary wood members configured substantially parallel to, distanced from, and not contacting each other; connecting each neighboring two of said primary wood members substantially perpendicularly by a plurality of connecting wood members, each connecting wood member configured substantially parallel to, distanced from, and not contacting each other;
b) defining a plurality of connection joints where said primary wood members are connected by said connecting wood members; and
facially attaching successive odd and even layers, said even layers rotatably oriented substantially perpendicular to said odd layers, with respective connection joints of said odd and even layers substantially aligned.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising attaching said layers to form a wall.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising attaching said layers to form a roof.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising attaching said layers using an adhesive.
9. The method of claim 5 , wherein at least said facially attaching of said layers, is carried out in a construction site.
