Definitions

  • the invention relates to block paving.
  • Block paving is well known and may for example comprise a plurality of rectangular blocks which can be laid in various patterns to provide driveways or other paved areas.
  • rectangular blocks are used to create the circular effect by arranging a first circle of blocks spread out like a fan around a centrepiece. Subsequent rows of blocks are then fitted around the first row to provide further circles of progressively increasing radius.
  • One disadvantage of the present method is that as adjacent blocks are not parallel, there is a tapering gap between adjacent blocks which can be unsightly and difficult to fill. The gap becomes greater as the radius decreases towards the centre of the circle.
  • Our invention comprises a method of manufacturing a set of paving blocks for use in producing a circular paved area, the set including at least a first course and a second course having a different radius from the first course, the courses being selected such that the set can be manufactured from a single mould and can then be assembled with a plurality of similar sets to produce a circular paved area.
  • the set is such that when the courses of the set are assembled in a circular manner, the sides of adjacent blocks are parallel.
  • the blocks of the set may for example be assembled into a sector of a circle so that when assembled with similar sets the sectors combine to provide a circular area.
  • the blocks for a sector may be moulded in an array in which blocks for inner courses are positioned at the ends of a group of blocks for outer courses to provide an array of sinusoidal shape.
  • the blocks of some of the courses may be rotated slightly with respect to the centre of the circle so that the finished pattern does not have any straight radial lines, running through the pattern.
  • the staggered effect produced by such rotation also assists in providing a good bond.
  • the blocks may be provided with integral ribs to space the blocks apart slightly for grouting purposes.
  • grouting is intended to include filling the joint with sand, mortar or any other suitable material.
  • Identification means may be provided to identify the blocks of one course from the blocks of another course.
  • the identification means may comprise identification lugs.
  • the blocks may be moulded from any desired material such as concrete, reconstituted stone, or clay.
  • the invention includes a set of paving blocks for use in producing a circular paved area, the set including at least a first course and a second course having a different radius from the first course, the courses being selected such that the set can be manufactured from a single mould and can then be assembled with a plurality of similar sets to produce a circular paved area.
  • the blocks of one course may differ in shape and configuration from the blocks of another course.
  • Each block may have curved ends and have straight sides which converge.
  • the gaps therebetween are in the range 2 to 3 mm wide.
  • each course requires a different block. It would be possible to create one mould which produces a plurality of blocks for the first course, another mould which produces a plurality of the blocks for the second course and so on. However, this would create considerable problems in sorting the blocks afterwards. It would be necessary for a mould operative to spend considerable time selecting the requisite number of blocks of each configuration and sorting these into a pack for use in the manufacture of the circular paved area.
  • Figure 2 shows a set of blocks arranged to form one sector of the overall circular effect shown in Figure 1. Eight of these sectors are needed to make up the effect shown in Figure 1.
  • the blocks needed for the set shown in Figure 2 can be moulded in a generally rectangular area shown in Figure 3 by arranging inner blocks A adjacent one end of outer blocks C and arranging the other inner blocks B adjacent the other end of the blocks C.
  • Figures 4 to 6 illustrate an alternative embodiment in which the blocks are shaped to provide a stretcher effect.
  • Figures 7 to 9 illustrate a third embodiment in which there is a combined stretcher and header effect.
  • FIG. 11 to 16 there is shown in detail a plan view of each block needed to make up the six courses shown in Figure 1. Since the blocks basically vary only in dimensions, only the block shown in Figure 11 will be described in detail. This block is for use in course 11 of Figure 1. The blocks for courses 12 to 16 are shown respectively in Figures 12 to 16.
  • the block has an inner curved end 17 and an outer curved end 18.
  • the sides 19 and 20 are straight, but converging.
  • the periphery of the upper part of the block has a chamfer 20a.
  • the curved inner end 17 has a pair of vertical lugs 21 to provide a gap of predetermined dimensions between adjacent courses, for example for grouting purposes.
  • Side 19 has a vertical lug 22
  • side 20 has a vertical lug 23.
  • Lug 22 is provided quite close to the inner end 17 and lug 23 is provided quite close to the outer end 18 so that the lug 22 on the block shown and the lug 23 on an adjacent block will cooperate to space apart adjacent blocks of the same course, by a distance determined by the thickness of the lug.
  • the blocks of each course are provided with a unique identification. This could for example be a predetermined number of smaller identification lugs 24, as shown on the block of Figure 10.
  • a vertical spacing lug 23 is shown together with a smaller identification lug 24.
  • the blocks of one course may have one identification lug, the blocks of the next course two identification lugs, and so on. Possible positions for additional identification lugs are shown in dotted lines in Figure 16.
