DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT
With reference to the appended drawings an embodiment of the invention will be herein described so as to exemplify the invention and not limit its scope.
Figure 1 shows a decorative brick facade module 10 adapted to be mounted onto a wall structure for covering same.
The facade module 10 has a visible decorative brick face 12. The decorative brick face 12 includes decorative bricks 14 separated by delimiting elements 16. In this example, the delimiting elements 16 are grooves that can receive decorative material therein, as explained hereinafter.
In the example shown here, the module 10 has four jagged-edge sides 18, 20, 22, and 24 respectively.
Sides 18, 20, 22 and 24 are delimited by delimiting elements 16, which in this example are grooves.
The module 10 also includes a wall-engaging face (not shown) that is opposite the decorative brick wall face 12. The wall engaging face is adapted to be mounted to a wall structure, for instance via wall-mounting elements 26.
The wall-mounting elements 26 are herein apertures configured to receive fasteners (not shown) therethrough. In this example, the apertures 26 are defined, for instance by drilling through the decorative block face 12 at the material-receiving grooves 16.
Figure 2 shows another embodiment of a decorative block facade module 10'.
Module 10' includes a decorative brick face 12', which includes decorative bricks 14' separated by grooves 16'. The module 10' includes two jagged-edge sides 20' and 24' and two (2) straight-edge sides 18' and 22'.
Sides 18', 20', 22' and 24' are bordered by grooves 16'.
Module 10' also includes a wall-engaging face (not shown) having wall-mounting elements 26' similar to apertures 26 of module 10.
As shown in Figure 3, when mounting the decorative brick modules 10 or 10' described herein on a wall (not shown), the user places the wall-engaging faces of the modules o a typically flat wall surface. Then, the user installs fasteners through the apertures 26 (or 26') and into the wall surface with the modules 10 (or 10') being positioned side-by-side along their corresponding edges so that these corresponding edges abut in order to create a decorative wall surface In this regard, Figure 3, shows a decorative brick covering 30 of module 10 (or 10').
In this case only five modules 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D
and 10E, which are identical to module 10 described above, are shown.
As shown, the jagged-edge side 22 of module 10A is adapted to mate with the jagged-edge side 18 of modules 10E, the jagged-edge side 24 of module 10B is adapted to mate with the jagged-edge side 20 of module 10E, the jagged-edge side '18 of module 10C is adapted to mate with the jagged-edge side 22 of module 10E, and the jagged-edge side 20 of module 10D is adapted to mate with the jagged-edge side 24 of module 10E. In this way, the modules 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, and 10E are assembled and positioned towards each other as shown by arrows A, B, C and D on a wall 28 side-by-side along their corresponding sides, as explained above, so that these corresponding sides abut.
After the decorative brick wall modules 10 (or 10') of the present invention have been mounted on a given wall surface or structure (e.g, structural 2"x4" posts and cross-members) the user may cut oft any jagged side that do not fit on that given wall surface. For instance along the periphery of the wall surface where linear edges are required.
Furthermore, the user will then fill the grooves 16 with material (not shown) thereby covering the apertures 26 and fasteners extending therein. Since the sides 18, 20, 22, 24, 18', 20', 22' and 24' of the modules 10 and 10' described herein are bordered by grooves ' CA 02457635 2004-02-13 16, abutting edges will also be filled with material. In this way, the user may create a decorative brick wall surface.
In another non-limiting example, the modules 10 (or 10') are pre-mounted on a structure such as panel (not shown) which is then mounted to wall structure.
The decorative brick modules of the present invention may have a variety of suitable size configurations including straight and/or differently jagged edges.
The decorative brick wall made by using modules of the present invention may be provided with at least two modules to any suitable number of modules, ail of, which may be identical or different in terms of size and/or configuration. The foregoing depends on the allure that the user wishes to give to the decorative brick wall surface.
Again, the brick waif face 12, 12' of modules 10, 10' of the invention may be provided with a variety of designs including decorative bricks 14 and grooves 16 of various sizes and configurations depending on the personal tastes of the user.
The material-receiving grooves 16 may receive a wide variety of materials such as cemententious material and the like as. will be easily understood by the skilled artisan.
The delimiting elements 16 need not be grooves but other structures dividing the decorative brick face into separate decorative bricks of similar ar different sizes and configurations. In one ' CA 02457635 2004-02-13 non-limiting example the delimiting elements 16 may be material of another type to simply be visibly differentiated from the decorative brick The fasteners of the present invention may include screws and the like with or without wall plugs depending on the wall structure to which the modules are being anchored.
The wall-engaging elements may be apertures 26, 26' or adhesive material applied on the wall-engaging face or any element known to the skilled artisan.
The modules 10, 10' of the present invention may be made by providing a pane! defining decorative bricks 14 separated by grooves 16 and cutting this panel, and in some instances along a pattern, so as to form modules having jagged and/or straight edges.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described hereinabove. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practised in various ways.
