Abstract
A B S T R A C T
In the construction of a building wall comprised of masonry units it is common to use special units to form door and window jambs, corners and pilasters. In this invention a single design end piece is utilised in conjunction with a standard masonry unit to serve a number of purposes. These include the creation of a square end at door and window jambs, at wall corners and at pilasters.
In addition the end piece closes the end of blocks that may include exposed insulation material. The end piece also completes a standard block to co-ordinate the running laying length module for blocks of various thicknesses at corners and pilasters.

This invention relates to an element to be used in the construction of a wall built of masonry units.
Specifically this element is described as an end pieceO
It is common in the construction o~ masonry walls to use an assortment o~ special units ~o produce t~e desired wall surface pro~iles at poi.nts of discontinuity such as door and window openings~ corners and pilasters~ Such speci.al units are designed to preserve the running laying module of the standard masonry unitO In walls in which (10) masonry units are used that contain an insulation material it is usual that the insulation material extend to the vertical ~aces comprising the ends of the standard unit.
This is necessary to eliminate thermal bridgingO The manufacture of these special block units is expensive because of` their low usage and because for blocks contai.ning an insul~tion material the cost o~~special moulds is considerableO In addition it is dificult to incorporate a~ insulation material ~hat preserves the thermal barrier in blocks of a special shape~ This invention is for an (20) end piece that may be used immediately in conjunction with a standard masonry unit and is so shaped that it provides a flush square end to every course of standa.rd masonry units at door and window jambsO In additi.on to providing a squa.re and closed end to standard blocks at ~all corners and at pilasters~ it is of controlled dimension so that the running laying module of the standard block is-preserved3 for blocks of various thicknessesO

Figures 3 and 4 illustrate alternate courses at a wall corner~ In figure 3 the end piece 1 has been used in conjunction with a standard block 2 to produce a closed and square faced end 5 and in addition, to preserve the running laying module of the standard block~ This is achieved by determ; ni n~ the running laying length 8 of the end piece 1.
The face of the first typical block 6 in the return of -the wall around the corner is laid flush with the end face 5 of the end piece 1. In Figure 4 the end piece 1 is used (~0) with standard block 2 to form the return at the corner.
Again the running laying dimension 8 of the end piece 1 is so determined as -to pre~erve the running laying module.
The insulation content of the wall is enclosed and preserved at the corner without the use of a special block.
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate al-texnate courses at a pilaster. In figure 5 end pieces 1 are used at the contin ~ ous end of running standard blocks 2. End pieces are also uæed at both ends of the pilaster block 9O The running laying length 8 of the end pieces 1 used singly with (20) the running units Z~ in conjunction with the use of end pieces 1 at each end of the block 9, both preserves the running laying module of the wall and produces a flush vertical face 5 at both ends of the pilaster in every course~
In figure 6 blocks 9 have end pieces 1 at each end so as to produce a flush face 5 on both interior and exterior faces of the pilast~r~ Pilasters using multiple interior stretcher blocks may be similarly created.

Figures 5 and 6 illustrate al-texnate courses at a pilaster. In figure 5 end pieces 1 are used at the contin ~ ous end of running standard blocks 2. End pieces are also uæed at both ends of the pilaster block 9O The running laying length 8 of the end pieces 1 used singly with (20) the running units Z~ in conjunction with the use of end pieces 1 at each end of the block 9, both preserves the running laying module of the wall and produces a flush vertical face 5 at both ends of the pilaster in every course~
In figure 6 blocks 9 have end pieces 1 at each end so as to produce a flush face 5 on both interior and exterior faces of the pilast~r~ Pilasters using multiple interior stretcher blocks may be similarly created.
Claims (5)
The embodiment of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed is defined as follows.
1) In a concrete block wall construction, an end piece of concrete to be used with a standard insulated concrete block so as to produce a closed end having a major vertical plane face, and having vertical and horizontal minor faces that are flush with the corresponding faces of the block with which it is to be used, and which is so further shaped as to match the contiguous irregular end of the insulated block, and such shape being comprised of vertical minor plane faces that are successively perpendicular to the face of the standard block, parallel to it, perpendicular to it, oblique to it and parallel to it.
2) An end piece as described in Claim (1) in which the two minor vertical plane faces that are flush with the two major plane faces of the standard block, have a length equal to the gross thickness of the standard block minus one half the running laying module of the standard block, said determined length thereby preserving the running laying module around a corner and resulting in completely plane, parallel wall faces, both inside and outside of the corner.
3) An end piece as described in Claims (1) and (2) which may be used at either, one or both ends of standard blocks to preserve the running laying bond in the construction of pilasters having plane faces.
4) End pieces as described in claims (1) and (2) which are either adhesive bonded to the standard block or are mortar set.
5) An end piece as described in Claims (1) and (2) which may be used in conjunction with full length or half length standard blocks at door and window openings and at wall ends to produce a closed, plane butt end of the wall.
