Abstract

Various means of decorating the surface of concrete paving stones and paving slabs are known. As an addi-tional technical decorating possibility it is proposed that a paving stone or other paving block or paving slab have an insert (1) made of a different material or merely having a different surface. The inserts of the concrete stones or slabs otherwise produced by conventional means, consist for example of metal, natural rock/ ceramics, glass, plastic, wood or even cork. An example of an in-sert merely having a different surface would be one of ground or smoothed concrete, for example. This decorating technique, however, is also possible in paving blocks or slabs made of other materials such as ceramics or re-cycled plastic. In any event, however, the possibilities for variation are put to use during the molding itself in the compression or casting mold, for the creation of molded spaces for the insertion of the material with its decorative surface and/or contour.

Description

21~823 Paving Stone or other Paving Block or Paving Slab This invention refers to a paving stone or to any other paving block or a paving slab.

Various means of decorating the surface of concrete paving stones and paving slabs are known. The use of ex-posed aggregate concrete, in which a layer of gravel is exposed, is especially widespread. Further known forms of surface treatment are sandblasting and water jet blasting.

Also known are so-called facings, i.e. thin surface layers of a concrete provided with expensive aggregates such as qlitter grains or crushed marble, or with dyed cement. Finally, surface reliefs created during molding are known.

The object of the invention is to find an additional technical decorating possibility.

This object is carried out in accordance with the inven-tion in that a paving stone or other paving block or sla~

21~582~

has an insert made of a different material or merely having a different surface.

The inserts of the concrete stones or slabs according to the invention, which are otherwise produced by conven-tional means, consist for example of metal, natural rock, ceramics, glass, plastic, wood or even cork. An example of an insert merely having a different surface would be one of ground or smoothed concrete.

This decorating technique, however, is also possible in paving blocks or slabs made of other materials such as ceramics or recycled plastic. In any event, however, the possibilities for variation are put to use during the molding itself in the compression or casting i~old, for tne creation of molded spaces for the insertion of the material with its decorative surface an/or contour.

The insert can be molded into the paving stone or the like during the pressing or casti~g of the same, thus creating its own place. However, it can also be inserted separately into a recess produced by the mold during the molding process.

For this in turn there ~Le various possibilities:
The insert can be cast in the recess.
The insert can be set into the recess and cemented in place.
The insert can be set into the recess and secured by clamping.

For the latter instance there are in turn two different possibilities, namely that the insert be enclosed at its edge in the recess and be clamped by said edge, and/or 21~S823 that it be annular in shape and be clamped by its inner edge.

The insert molded into the paving stone is anchored if necessary. For practical purposes a plurality of molded-in inserts has a joint anchorage holding the plurality of inserts in position relative to one another until the molding has been completed. Depending on the technical method of concrete production, it is basically also pos-sible to press the inserts into the still soft mass, if applicable while being vibrated, only after the actual paving stone or paving slab has been formed.

The inserts do not have to be enclosed at their edges on all sides. The nature of the insert results from the de-pression in which it is arranged. The insert will usually be flush with the remaining surface. It can, however, be used to create a relief, i.e. it can lie somewhat below the remaining surface or stand out above it.

For instance, the insert can be arranged as a border strip or at least be pa~tly placed on a projecting part of the pa~ing stone, other paving block or paving slab, and in the combination of paving stones, other paving blocks or paving slabs it can have the surface shape of a filler piece.

This latter application is particularly advantageous in-sofar as the appearance of a separate filler piece such as that known at the conjunction of lour cut-off corners of paving stones or slab coverings is created when the separate filling piece is replaced with a projecting part molded onto one of the paving stones or slabs.

Numerous possible forms of the invention are depicted be-low on the basis of embodiments thereof.

Figures 1 to 28 each show the embodiments of the inven-tion as plan views, sometimes other depictions, of a paving stone or slab.

Figures 1 and 2 shGw a plan view and an exploded, iso-metric depiction, respectively, of an insert 1 made of sheet metal with cutouts 2. The sheet metal is molded into the paving stone and is additionally held in the concrete of the paving stone by four anchors 3 attached to the sheet metal. For example, it is laid onto the bottom of the compression mold during the molding process prior to the pouring of the concrete. However, it could also be pressed into the still soft mass, possibly while being vibrated, after the concrete for the stone is poured.

Figures 3 and 4 show a plan view and an isometric, partly broken down view, respectively, of an insert comprising nine cylinders 5 connected to form a unit by a grid-like common base 4. The entire unit is molded into the con-crete mass in that it is placed with the free ends of the cylinders 5 on the bottom of the compression mold. To free the end faces of the cylinders 5 lying in the stone surface from soiling caused by concrete "milk", the stone surface is brushed, sandblasted or the like, but pref-erably ground or smoothed. The same is true for the in-sert 1 and for the other, comparable cases.

21~5823 Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate the creative possibilities, again with inserts of sheet metal secured by anchors 6 and labeled altogether with the number 7.

According to Figure 7 and Figure 8 (cut along line VIII-VIII in Figure 7), recesses forming grooves 8 are made with a suitable pressing die during production of the paving stone. The grooves 8 are then filled with a plas-tic mass 9 to just below the stone surface.

In Figure 9 square depressions 10, and in Figure ~0 and Figure 11 (cut along line XI-XI in Figure 10) circular, concave depressions 11 take the place of the grooves 8.
Close scrutiny of Figure 11 will reveal that the plastic mass 12 here is sunken towards the center of the depres-sion 11 in each case. This, too, is a decorative fea-ture.

Figure 12 demonstrates that the technique according to Figures 8 to 11 leaves all possibilities open as far as dcorative design is concerned.

Figures 13 and 14 (cut alcng line XIV-XIV in Figure 13) show various further possibilities, here with inserts 15, 16 and 17 set into preformed recesses 13 and 14. The in-serts 15 ar,d 16 are bcrder strips cemented ir. place, the former being mitered and the latter butt-jointed. The border strips are made of metal or a hard plastic, for example. Insert 17 is a block merely clamped in place and can be made of plastic, rubber, wood or cork.

Analogously to the border strips in Figures 13 and 14, the paving stone according to Figure 15 is provided with diagonally arranged strips 19 as inserts, the angled ends 214582~

of which abut with no gaps. A straight abutment against a square centerpiece 20 is shown in dotted lines as an alternative.

According to Figure 16 and Figure 17 ( cut along line XVII-XVII in Figure 16) inserts 21 cemented in place at the corners are combined with a cast insert 22 in the center.

Figure 18 shows a further creative possibility with in-serts cemented in place.

Figure 19, on the other hand, shows inserts 25 and 26 clamped into recesses 23 and 24, the former ( 25) being a wooden block and the latter ( 26 ! a plastic piece. As in the case of the insert 17, a greater recess depth is pro-vided for the inserts 25 and 26 than for the poured or cemented in inserts.

Figures 20 and 21 in turn show inserts in the shape of border strips 27 and 28, respectively, albeit here, in contrast to Figures 13 and 14, not so much to form a frame for the stone itself than to accentuate the joint.
The border strips 27 and 28 lie in this case as well in a recess, i.e. on a shoulder of the concrete stone, across t'leir entire width. ~he border s-.rips 27 arranged on all sides are secured only by anchors 29 shown in Figure 20 on the right. The border strips 28 arranged on only two sides according to Figure 21 are cemented on.

These concrete stones are laid with no gaps in between.

The paving stone with a square basic form depicted in Figure 22 has arcs of a circle cut off of three of its corners, i.e. a corner 30 in the shape of a quarter of a circle has been removed in each case, and on the fourth corner a projection 31 in the shape of three-quarters of a circle is provided. The paving stone is laid together with the same type of paving stones in such a way that the three-quarter circle of the projection 3I fills three one-quarter circles of the corners 30.

A circular recess 32 iS arranged on the projection 31.
This recess 3 2 also covers a quarter circle in the re-mdining paving stone and is filled out with a circular disk 33 serving as an insert cemented in place. The disk 33 consists, for instance, of natural rock or ground or smoothed concrete.

According to Figure 23 a variation is provided in which the circular disk is an annular disk 34 of plastic and is clamped onto a stud 35 projecting upwardly in the recess 32.

In Figure 24 a circular recess 37 with a smaller diameter lS formed in the projection labeled 36. A disk 38 iS
clamped and/or cemented into the recess 37. It could be made of glass, for e~ample.

Figures 27 arld 28 correspond to Figure 24, with the modi-fication that in Figure 27 the disk lS secured by means of a shaft 40 with a barbed profile pressed into a de-pression 39 in the recess 37, and in Figure 28 the disk is secured by a barbed profile 41 on the periphery of the disk itself.

Figure 25 corresponds to Figure 22, with an alteration in which the corners 42 are cut off in straight lines and 21~5823 the projection 43, with a square cross section, com-pletely replaces a filler stone. Also, a recess 44 is located solely in said projection 43, and a square plate 45 is set as an insert into said recess 44.

Finally, Figure 26 shows an alternative to Figures 22 to 25 in which instead of a projection at one corner that fills three other cut-off corners two projections 46 are formed on two sides. These two projections 46 fill two other cutouts 47 in two other sides. Recesses 48 comple~
ment the projections 46 to form a diamond. Identically shaped plates 49 optically form a corresponding filler plece .

Since they need only be clamped in place, it is possible not to set the inserts according to Figures 19, 23, 24, and particularly Figures 27 and 28 until the pavement is being laid.
