Description

Structure Unit of Cast Stone The invention relates to a structure unit of cast stone used as floor cover element, palisade element or masonry unit in the form of a rectilinear prism having - in plan view or when viewed from above - a cross section equal to a hexagon, wherein all the internal angles of the hexagon are equal to, or greater than, 600 and at last two of the sides of the hexagon have a profile at variance with a straight line. If such structure units, generally known only as floor cover elements, have hexagonal cross section, the cross section is equal to a hexagon with sides of identical lengths in order to provide for unproblematic laying, i.e., in order to ensure that the structure units can always be joined to form a floor cover without gaps. This holds particularly in the event that the sides of the hexagon are not straight lines but have a nonlinear or profiled extension. In this case the sides of the hexagon are uniformly divided over the circumference into two halves one of which is the negative of the other one. This holds equally for palisade elements or masonry units of the above-specified kind, which differ from the floor cover elements only in their thickness and height. When laid out in side-by-side relationship, the structure units which are known in this form render in their visible cross section surface a uniform pattern which in many instances satisfies the requirements in regard to the aesthetic aspect. However, if such a pattern is considered to be too uniform and, hence, monotonous, no alternatives exist with the above-described hexagonal cross section. It is therefore the goal of the invention to increase the options for the shapes of the hexagon sides for structure units of the above-identified type so that layout patterns of relatively large nonuniformity in regard to the line pattern resulting from the form of the hexagon sides can be created. According to the invention, the problem is solved by giving different shapes to at least two of the three first sides of the hexagon, by associating an opposite or adjacent second side of the hexagon with each of these three sides, and by having each of the second sides correspond either to the shifting of the associated first side over the cross section or to the rotation of the associated first side around the common contact point. IRN 597040 - 1- These inventive measures have as consequence that there a deviation from an equilateral hexagon is possible and, more specifically, that the above rules concerning the specified profile configuration of the hexagon sides no longer need be obeyed. Rather there has been obtained freedom in regard to shape due to a widely irregular pattern of adjoining structure units, and the form of this irregularity can be easily adapted to greatly different aesthetic demands. As to details, the solution principle according to the invention comprises two or three first sides of different lengths and/or different profiles on the structure unit, together with second sides formed by shifting over the cross section of the structure unit. However, it also comprises two or three first sides of different lengths and/or different profiles on the structure unit, only one of which forms the opposite second side by shifting over the cross section of the structure unit, whereas the other two first sides form the associated adjacent second sides by rotation around the common contact point. Finally, there is included an embodiment with two or three first sides of different lengths and/or different profiles, each of which forms the associated second side by rotation around the common contact point. This puts into evidence that not only a large variety of shapes of the sides of the structure unit is possible but that this variety also facilitates different arrangement options. According to the invention, it is now possible and, within the purview of the problem, also convenient that none of the first three sides corresponds to the mirror image of an adjoining first side. It is ensured in this way that the inventive structure units do not have an axis of symmetry, i.e., that a resultant regularity cannot rise. When the inventive structure units are used as floor cover elements, it is advantageous to provide at least one of the sides with a recess extending over the full height of the structure unit or to have on the cross section at least one opening extending over the full height of the structure unit in order to facilitate the discharge of surface water in a manner known per se. Finally, the shape of one of the hexagonal surfaces of the structure unit can be modified by providing it with a texture, e.g., of the type of a quarry-stone surface. Other features essential for the invention and details become obvious from the following description of embodiments which are shown in the drawing. In the drawing, there show: Figure 1, the plan view of a first embodiment of the structure unit according to the invention; Figure 2, a perspective view of the structure unit of Figure 1 as floor cover element; Figure 3, a perspective view of a section of floor covering with the elements of Figure 2; Figure 4, the sectional view of a wall made with the structure elements of Figure 1 as masonry units; IRN 597040 -2-
