Abstract

An area of unstable soil is secured by an interlocking array of profiled stones (1). The stones have castellated interfaces and are fabricated in esp. a variety of cast shapes e.g. L-shape, U-shape. the gaps between the shanks are filled by earth and planted.

Description

The present invention relates to a molded block system for Area boundary or for slope building.

It is known to prevent the soil from slipping off a slope or embankment a boundary wall to build up of blocks, which in general from elongated, cuboid shaped stones, which also may be designed so that they are plantable. The means that in a gutter that is essentially over the entire length of the shaped stone extends, soil can be filled, in which the desired planting used becomes.

Form stone systems are known in the prior art, in which several elongated stones to achieve the desired wall height next to and / or übereinandersetzbar are to prevent the wall from tipping over, e.g. by the pressure of Hangs installed with it to avoid.

To an obstruction or wall in the desired length too It is known that in a horizontal row juxtaposed shaped stones with their front sides essentially completely and flush against each other. The superimposed rows can either all, seen in plan view, aligned flush with each other or the superimposed rows are like one Brick wall offset each other. To do this Used shaped bricks of different lengths.

With such stones, it is also possible a Noise barrier, e.g. on a street or a land or to receive other area limitation.

A disadvantage here has been found that due to the each over the entire longitudinal extent of the stones throughout the same cross section, the frontal Terminations of such walls or slope enclosures aesthetically not appealing appearance and give the plant troughs open at their respective ends are so that soil e.g. through rain from the form stones can be washed out. Furthermore, it is with these elongated shaped bricks practically impossible, one curved or round wall or slope enclosure too if this is e.g. through property boundaries or Terrain formations is necessary.

Starting from this prior art is the expert asked the task to specify a molded block system, with built on the one hand aesthetically pleasing walls which have lateral degrees for the Plant trays are present and the wall also one curved or curved course can take.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a molded block system solved with the features of the protection claim 1. Advantageous developments and refinements of Invention are each the subject of dependent claims.

The core idea of the invention is that a Wall to the area boundary or a slope enclosure several complementary elements is composable. This will be the main part of the wall formed by the elongated, plantable shaped stones, the essentially a known elongated, rectilinear have running outer shape. To the wall in form wished form wedge elements are provided, which can be used between two stones to such between the respective longitudinal axes of the adjacent Forming stones to form an angle. Furthermore are Closing stones provided, either to the frontal Ends of the elongated stones and / or to the the actual wedge-forming sides of the wedge element are directly attachable. According to the invention is the Form stone system designed such that the above said components of the system substantially positively and accurately to each other can be applied. So is e.g. the end stone is designed such that the front side an elongated shaped block at least completely covered is, if this end face to the appropriate side of the Graduated stone is created. The graduation stone can do this Overlap face as described below.

According to the invention are not frictional connections between the individual elements of the system necessary such as. Grooving or locking connections between the individual Elements can, however, be selected by the skilled person at the elements are each provided corresponding to each other. According to the invention, the wedge element is also designed such that that the elongated shaped stones with their front sides over the entire surface and flush with the intended, the actual wedge forming, sides of the wedge element can be applied. Optionally, the wedge element and the elongated Shapes overlap. Likewise, the graduation stones be applied to the wedge element.

In the context of the invention, it is possible that the height of each of the three elements described above is the same. It but it is also possible that e.g. two or more superimposed molded blocks with a common Endstone, which is designed accordingly higher, on one end of a wall to be completed. same for for the wedge elements. In principle, this can also be reversed take place, i. an oblong shaped stone is filled with several correspondingly lower designed graduated blocks or Provided wedge elements.

The advantage of the invention is that with this System not only rectilinear noise barriers, Slope enclosures u. Like. Plants can be built but by the wedge elements also curved walls, the due to the full-surface and flush arrangement of the individual Elements are nonetheless continuous and such the passage of e.g. Soil on a slope through the Wall is avoided. In addition, with the graduation stones is achieved that a clean end-sided wall is achievable and in particular the leakage of soil avoided at the edge end of an elongated shaped block is.

In the context of the invention is included with that a wall, Hangverbauung or the like also from only two or only one of the elements described above is constructed. Thus, e.g. the graduation stones like that be formed that the construction of a rectilinear wall out of these alone is possible by neighboring Closing stones, which lie directly against each other, respectively are twisted in their longitudinal extent by 90 ° to each other. Also, a wall can be obtained by only the Wedge elements with graduated stones arranged in between be used.

Preferably, the elongated, plantable Shaped stones at least one upwardly open plant trough, in particular, over the entire length of the shaped block extends. In this plant trough the soil can be filled and in the desired planting are used. In In a preferred embodiment, the stones in the Cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal extension seen a L-shape, U- or V-shape or a shape corresponding to one upside down T. This can be especially at an L-shape or an inverted T-shape the vertically or obliquely upwardly projecting portion of Formsteins still a bead-like thickening or Widening be provided to e.g. to this Broadening a molded block arranged above it sit up. This broadening is the expert in such a way chosen that a built up of the form stones wall has a sufficient stability.

Round and / or stacked shaped stones positively and non-positively connect is proposed that these have along their longitudinal extension locking grooves to so to put the stones together so that one Displacement transverse to their respective longitudinal extent the interlocking with each other Lock grooves is avoided. These are in particular the Locking grooves on the upper and lower sides of the stones educated. But they can also be arranged laterally. In principle, it is also possible that these locking grooves arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the stones are. In addition, at the form stones over their Longitudinal extension, preferably continuous, another Be provided recess through which cable, Water or other supply lines along the Wall can be led. It is suggested that these further recesses at the edge, i. above and / or Bottom side, attached to the form stones, they can but also as a hole or breakthrough in the body of a Formed stone.

For example, the above supply lines in Essentially in the vertical direction at connections in the It is still to be connected to ground or subsoil provided that on the front sides of the shaped stones at least one section-wise depression is formed, then that in superposed formstones whose Wells are aligned corresponding to each other, which causes an over the entire height of the wall forms a continuous recess, in the e.g. one Water connection can be performed. It is also possible, that this depression is inside the body of the molded block is appropriate.

For adaptation e.g. a wall to different Terrain shapes and around this wall desired To give curvatures / curves is the wedge angle the wedge elements according to the invention each one integer fraction of 360 °, especially with the elongated moldings described above and this Wedge elements to form a full circle. Especially the wedge angle is 30 °, 45 °, 60 ° or 90 °.

At the end faces of the wedge elements, between which the Wedge angle α is formed, are the mold parts or the End elements substantially full-surface and flush immediately. In order to translate e.g. of oblong Moldings perpendicular to their longitudinal extent relative to the To avoid wedge elements is suggested that to these End faces lateral extensions are arranged, which are in the extend substantially perpendicularly away from this end face, and in the assembled state the front of the Overlapping the shape of the stones laterally. These extensions be advantageously in one piece in the production of Wedge elements made together with these.

On the inside, i. at the wedge angle α, and / or at the Outside, which is the wedge angle α, the Wedge elements can be vertical ribs be formed, on the one hand, an improvement of the Appearance of the wedge elements and the other that positive engagement of two wedge elements with their allow each outer sides to one another To prevent relative displacement against each other.

For the graduation stones is provided that they in plan view seen essentially a rectangular base have longer broadsides and shorter ones Narrow sides.

Preferably, at the end faces, seen in plan view, Fortsuits in particular integrally formed, with this Projections in the plane of this end face, ie perpendicular to longer broadside extend beyond this broadside out.

To assemble with those described above Elements of the Formstein system are the graduation stones dimensioned such that the end faces with the thereto laterally projecting projections substantially form-fitting and fitting to the broad side of an adjacent one Final stone between the over this broadside protruding extensions of the adjacent capstone can be applied or used. Likewise it is suggested that the narrow side of the final stone with the extensions to the lateral wedge surfaces of a wedge element with the at this Wedge element provided protruding projections can be used accurately and positively.

Likewise, the graduation stones on their broad and / or End faces with the above for the wedge elements be described vertically extending ribs.

The preparation of the parts of the molded block system according to the invention happens in a manner known to those skilled in the art in the casting process in molds that are dimensioned accordingly are. Here are known as materials in construction Materials in question, as they apply to other conglomerates find, among other things, flowable casting concrete or like. But the parts of the system can work as well Plastic, e.g. Foam or styrofoam or off Recycled materials, such as plastic granules, glass, gravel etc., are cast with appropriate binders. Also a combination of the above materials possible.
