Description

       

  Process for producing pavements, slabs and pavements obtained.

  
The present invention relates to pavements

  
and slabs for the purpose of producing them and aims to allow this execution in conditions of great simplicity and speed while giving rise to various technical and aesthetic advantages.

  
The process consists of the use of slabs obtained by a molding operation and made of agglomerated materials, including or not a decorative layer integral with the mass, in which are formed, also by molding, tiles framed by chamfers and grooves. , these slabs being provided with irrigation and ventilation slots.

  
In order to make the invention fully understood, a non-limiting example of an embodiment will be described below.

  
with reference to the attached drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a slab; Figure 2 is a plan view;

  
Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views taken along lines III-III and IV-IV in figure 2.

  
Figure 5 is a sectional view of a tile without a decorative layer.

  
In these drawings, there is shown slabs of agglomerated materials in which are formed, by molding, tiles 3 framed by chamfers and grooves 4.

  
Slabs are thus produced which can be obtained very easily by molding and which must simply be juxtaposed to form a tiling or a pavement.

  
An important feature is that slots 5 are formed right through at certain places of the chamfers and grooves 4.

  
In addition to the advantage of the possibility of executing pavements in conditions of great simplicity and speed, the use of these pavements and slabs gives rise to the peculiarity that the slots 5 constitute a very simple and very efficient irrigation and aeration of the soil and do not require - or more - drainage.

  
As a result, these pavements can have very many and varied applications and uses.

  
Thus, when establishing so-called "pedestrian" paths or streets, no danger of water accumulation in puddles or ponds is to be feared, even

............. if no slope is provided, which constitutes an important advantage from the point of view of so-called environmental protection. The problem of water drainage can therefore be solved by adequate drainage or by hidden underground gutters. These pavements also find their application in the case of car parks, paths, garden terraces or public establishments, sidewalks, access roads to dwellings, etc., in association or not with identical slabs but not provided with slits 5. An interesting application is also the development of relaxation areas or.other around trees and beds without preventing the latter from being suitably irrigated and aerated. It should be added that in the latter case, the slabs can be adjusted according to the growth of the trees thanks to an adjustment based on the removal of a certain number of tiles by breaking along the chamfers and grooves 4. These different applications are obviously not limiting. 1. process for making pavements, this process consisting of the use of slabs obtained by a molding operation and made of concrete or a similar material and optionally of a decorative layer of agglomerate of concrete or other, in which are formed, also by molding, tiles framed by chamfers and grooves (4) these tiles being provided with slots (5) for irrigation and ventilation.
