DE4136027A1 - SELF-ALIGNING WALL BLOCK - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a self-aligning Wall block, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Known wall blocks or available on the market Bricks used in building constructions, mostly consist of clay or concrete and require mortar to to connect one block with the other to a wall or to build something similar. This is very much the case with building constructions time consuming and increases costs.

It is therefore an object of the present invention, one to create self-aligning wall block with one cheaper and faster design is made possible.

This task is characterized by that in the main claim Invention solved.

With the present invention a self-aligning wall block with a simple fitting system created by the own upper and lower surface of the Blocks is formed, the surfaces being angled sections have, which extend in opposite directions and angle to make a perfect fit and one Link a block to an identical block allow if the blocks are vertical, e.g. B. for training a wall to be placed on top of each other. So around a wall to build, it is only necessary to build a block  to put the other one and then in on the surface of the wall known plaster or other final Apply coating to the wall the necessary To give final stability.

With a wall where the blocks remain visible, it is only required a suitable adhesive to the mating sections of the blocks to provide the End stability without using a plaster or to give a final coating.

The blocks according to the invention can furthermore be made up of different Materials such as B. organic fibers or synthetic Fibers, cellular concrete or the like, among the other known ones Materials such as clay and concrete exist. The block can follow any of the different methods, e.g. B. Extruding, pressing, casting, etc. Continue the block can have different different dimensions have, so that it is possible to construction parts and To form plates. In this way, both time and also the cost of a construction significantly due to the Use the self-aligning block according to the Invention can be reduced.

An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown and is described in more detail below. It demonstrate:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the block.

Figure 2 is a side sectional view of two assembled blocks. and

Fig. 3 is a side sectional view of a block with different dimensions than the blocks of Fig. 1 and 2.

The self-aligning block 1 shown in the drawing can be used in building constructions, the block may be made of any material, such as. As concrete, clay, organic fibers, synthetic fibers, cellular concrete, etc. The block can have different dimensions. It comprises end faces 10 and opposing open side faces 2 and horizontal and vertical inner stiffening walls 3 , which form cavities 4 extending from one side face 2 to the other side face.

The block 1 is essentially diamond-shaped in longitudinal section and has inclined upper and lower surfaces 5 and 6 . These surfaces have short sections 7 and 8 near the front and rear edges, which are also inclined, but in the opposite direction. The short sections 7 and 8 together with the upper surface 5 and the lower surface 6 form an angle, which is preferably an obtuse angle.

The main inclined portion of the upper surface 5 of the block 1 has the same width and inclination as the main inclined portion of the lower surface 6 of the block. Similarly, the inclined rear short section 8 of the upper surface 5 has the same width and inclination as the inclined rear short section 7 of the lower surface 6 . In this way, the sections of the upper surface 5 of one block match the corresponding sections of the lower surface 6 of another block. This allows for a precise fit and connection between the blocks when stacked vertically on top of one another as shown or when they are arranged horizontally.

As shown in Fig. 3, the short sections 8 and 7 at the upper and lower part of the block with the corresponding main sections 5 and 6 at the tip each form an angle of 90 ° or more, ie α 90 °. This is the same angle as at the intersection of the short section 7 of the upper part of the block and the short section 8 at the lower part of the block with the corresponding major surfaces 5 and 6 .

The angle B between each of the short sections 7 , 8 and the end walls 10 is between 45 ° and 90 °, ie 45 ° B 90 °.

Claims (4)
