Definitions
- This invention relates to building blocks intended to be laid dry in the erection of walls.
- Building blocks are laid horizontally and the six faces thereof when so laid may be designated outer and inner, upper and lower, and end faces, and, for facility of description and comprehension, the six faces of building blocks are so designated herein and in the appended claims and such designations are to be construed accordingly.
- the present invention we provide a building block of which the upper and lower faces are irregular with the irregularities mutually complementary at least in part for interfitment with the at least partly complementary lower and upper faces of like building blocks, the block having therein at least one cavity extending between and through said upper and lower faces. and a channel
- the irregularities' of the upper and lower faces of the block are preferably symmetrical about the plane bisecting the block intermediate the outer and inner faces of the block.
- Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are perspective views from above and to one end of three different building blocks in accordance with the invention;
- Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are plan views of the blocks of Figs. 1, 2 and 3, respectively;
- Fig. 7 is a sectional elevation through three adjacent courses of a wall erected with blocks of Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 with the plane of section being substantially midway between the end faces of the block of the intermediate course and passing through the front and rear faces of the blocks of all three courses;
- Fig. 8 is a perspective view from above and to one side of a wall during erection utilising building blocks in accordance with the invention and including a right-angled corner.
- the building block of Figs. 1 and 4 generally denoted A, has irregular upper and lower faces and irregular end faces and is that most common in a wall construction, the building block B of Figs. 2 and 5 and the half-block C of Figs. 3 and 6 having irregular upper and lower faces and one irregular end face, the irregularities in each case being similar to those of like faces of the building block A, the other end face of blocks B and C being plane and and the latter blocks being used at ends and corners of walls, as can be seen in Fig. 8.
- the outer and inner faces of all three blocks are plane.
- the upper face of all three blocks has a marginal flat zone 11, 12 along each edge adjacent the outer and inner faces 13, 14 of the block and a rebate, rabbet or step-shaped reduction 15, 16 at the inner edges of said flat zones 11, 12 providing ledges 17, 18 parallel to and below said flat zones 11, 12.
- the lower face of all three blocks also has a marginal flat zone 19, 20 along each edge adjacent to the outer and inner faces 13, 14 of the block, but, conversely has a downward projection 21, 22 of length and cross-section complementing those of the rebates 15, 16 but of somewhat lesser depth than the latter and terminating in flat lower surfaces 23, 24 parallel to the flat zones 19, 20.
- the difference in depth of the projections 21, 22 and the rebates 15, 16 is an optional but preferred feature, and it will be noted that the projections 21, 22 of the lower course of blocks in Fig. 8 are in fact of similar depth to the rebates 15, 16. It is also a preferred but optional feature that the irregularities of the upper and lower faces of the blocks A, B and C be symmetrical about the planes bisecting the blocks intermediate the outer and inner faces.13, 14 of the blocks, as shown in the drawings. Both end faces of the blocks A are irregular with the irregularities of each complementing those of the other. The irregularities are alternating inwardly-converging vertically-extending grooves 25 and outwardly-converging vertically-extending ridges 26. The blocks B and C have one irregular end face with grooves 25 and ridges 26 and one plane end face 27, the irregular end faces of the blocks B and C being identical with the corresponding end faces of the blocks A.
- Blocks A and B have therein two vertical cavities 31 and 32 extending between and through the upper and lower faces thereof, while the half-blocks C have but one such vertical cavity 33.
- a channel 34 in the lower face of each of the blocks A, B and C intersects at right angles with the vertical cavity or cavities and extends through both end faces of the blocks A and only the irregular end faces of the blocks B and C.
- the vertical cavities 31, 32 and 33 are identical and are of substantial cross-sectional area in relation to the widths and lengths of the blocks.
- the vertical cavities are separated by a cross-piece 35, the upper surface 36 of which is level with and merges into the ledges 17, 18 and the lower surface of which is flat and forms the bottom of the channel 34.
- the cross-piece 35 is central of the length of the block and the vertical cavities 31 and 32 are symmetrical thereabout.
- interfitted end wall portions of juxtaposed blocks together make up a cross-piece identical with the cross-piece 35 and consequently in superposed courses of blocks in an erected wall there are vertically-continuous cavities intermittently separated by cross-pieces the intervals between successive ones of which coincide with horizontally-continuous ducts formed by the channels 34 which are mutually continuous in each course of blocks.
- the vertically-continuous cavities and the horizontally-continuous ducts may be infilled with a hardenable mixture such as shown at 39 (fig. 7) incorporating any of a wide variety of materials, for example admixed clay and chalk, cementitious compounds, etc
- a hardenable mixture such as shown at 39 (fig. 7) incorporating any of a wide variety of materials, for example admixed clay and chalk, cementitious compounds, etc.
- infill materials are cementitious compounds reinforced to give a calculated strength.
- Building blocks in accordance with the invention have a wide industrial application. They can be used in the building of homes, apartment blocks and retaining walls. A further use is in temporary buildings capable of being readily dismantled, for example in the agricultural field, the walls being built-dry and post-tensioned.

Abstract
Les faces superieure et inferieure d'un bloc de construction (A) sont irregulieres, les irregularites etant reciproquement complementaires au moins partiellement pour assurer l'assemblage par encastrement avec d'autres blocs de construction similaires dont les faces superieure et inferieure sont au moins partiellement complementaires; le bloc presente au moins une cavite (31, 32) entre et au travers desdites faces superieure et inferieure ainsi qu'une rigole (34) dans au moins l'une de ces faces dont l'intersection avec au moins l'une desdites cavites est a angle droit, la rigole allant de part en part de l'une au moins des faces extremes du bloc. Les irregularites des faces superieure et inferieure du bloc sont, de preference, symetriques par rapport au plan bissecteur du bloc entre les faces exterieure et interieure (13, 14) du bloc.
