Patent

CA 2250992

A building block (20) of chevron shaped uniform transverse section with a hollow core (33). A dovetail nib (26) and complimentary recess (32) are respectively located centrally about the apexes (29 and 30) of the inverted V- shaped upper and lower surfaces (25 and 31). The recess (32) opens into the hollow core (33). By sliding the nib (26) of one block within the recess (32) of a like block stable wall structures can be formed without the need for mortar. Such structures can be provided with additional mass by filling the internal voids formed between adjoining blocks with granular material as construction proceeds. Blocks with sides (23 and 24) of equal height build into planar structures. Blocks with sides of unequal height build into planar structures when adjoining blocks are disposed at 180 degrees to each other and build into curved or stepped face structures when all blocks are similarly disposed.

L'invention concerne un bloc de construction (20) qui a une section transversale uniforme en forme de chevron et un centre creux (33). Un tenon en queue d'aronde (26) et une cavité (32) complémentaire sont placés de manière centrale autour des sommets (29 et 30, respectivement) de la surface supérieure (25) et de la surface inférieure (31), qui sont en forme de V inversé. La cavité (32) donne dans le centre creux (33). Par glissement du tenon (26) d'un bloc dans la cavité (32) d'un bloc similaire, des structure de parois stables peuvent être formées sans recours à un mortier. On peut accroître la masse de telles structures en remplissant les vides intérieurs formés entre des blocs contigus avec un matériau granulé à mesure que la construction progresse. Les blocs dont les côtés (23 et 24) sont de même hauteur forment des structures planes. Les blocs dont les côtés ont des hauteurs différentes forment des structures planes lorsque des blocs contigus sont disposés à 180 degrés les uns par rapport aux autres, et ils forment des structures incurvées ou à gradins lorsque tous les blocs sont disposés de même manière.
