Claims.—(1.) In a building-construction, a lintel having inclined sides, a floor-block having oppositely inclined ends and bearing against said lintel, a strengthening core enveloped in said lintel, said core being perforated, and through which perforations the enveloping material extends. (2.) In a building-construction, a lintel, a floor-block, a strengthening core enveloped in said lintel, said core being perforated on obliquely arranged lines, through which perforations the enveloping material extends. (3.) In a building-construction, a lintel, a strengthening core for said lintel enveloped therein, said core being perforated on obliquely arranged lines extending in opposite directions away from the centre of said lintel, and through which perforations the enveloping material extends, and a floor-block supported by said lintel. (4.) In a building-construction, a lintel comprising a strengthening core, perforations therein arranged in oblique lines extending away from the centre, an envelope therefore the material of which passes through the perforations of said core to anchor the same. (5.) In a building-construction, a lintel comprising a strengthening core of perforated sheet metal, cables carried thereby at opposite edges thereof, perforations in the sheet-metal portion of said core, and an envelope of suitable material enclosing the aforesaid core, and passing through the perforations therein from opposite sides thereof. (6.) In a building-construction, a lintel, a strengthening core for said lintel, said core being perforated on lines obliquely arranged and extending in opposite directions away from the centre of said lintel, and at gradually reduced angles of inclination towards the ends thereof, perforations in said core, through which perforations the enveloping material upon opposite sides of said lintel is connected, and a floor-block bearing against said lintel. (7.)

(8.) In a building-construction, a lintel, a perforated sheet-metal core therefor, said core being imbedded in said lintel and vertically arranged with respect to its normal position, the opposite sides of said lintel being inclined upwardly and inwardly, and adapted to receive and support floor-blocks which bear against opposite sides of said lintel to laterally support the same and preserve it in its upright position. (9.) In a building-construction, a plurality of cross-beams arranged in parallel, a plurality of lintel-blocks supported by said beams and arranged in parallel but in planes transversely to the supporting beams, a perforated metal core in each of said lintels, flooring-blocks supported by said lintels. (10.) In a building-construction, a lintel-comprising a strengthening core, an envelope therefor comprising a series of layers bearing against and secured to each other. (11.) In a building-construction, a lintel-block comprising a perforated core and a laminated envelope, the inner layers being secured to each other through said perforations, and the outer layers being secured one upon another.
