Abstract

The invention relates to bricks which are made from expanded clay, plaster and gypsum, using all classes and varieties of plaster and gypsum and all varieties and sizes of clay. All versions of the inventive bricks are produced, solid and perforated, and the bricks are available in a wide range of sizes, such as 60x30x10, 60x30x7, 40x20x10 and 40x20x7, said measurements being the main measurements with much larger measurements also being available. The bricks are also produced with extremely diverse special measurements which are outlined in the description of the invention. Said material is designed for the construction of internal walls owing to its light weight, good thermal and acoustic insulation properties and resistant finish. Moreover, given that it is made with active materials, the invention is subjected to virtually no wear or scratches and it performs like mortar, lime or cement. Said material is placed on top of floors, once the vaults have been put in place.

Description

DESCRIPTIVE MEMORANDUM OF THE INVENTION

1° STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Tarciyola: Is a brick or block for internal partitions in houses, offices and commercial sites, etc..
Prior to presentation of this documentation, searches made in data bases available to the public in Intemet of the offices of the OEPM were made.
The most similar item found in searches made is as follows: Utility model no.° U 200101335 dated 16-11-01, consisting in a day brick covered in plaster.
Another item found was utility model no. U 9202478 dated 16-03-93, which consists in a day brick with an insulation covering plus a coat of plaster.
Another item found was utility model no. U 9202479 dated 16-03-93, which consists of a day brick with a plaster covering.
Another item found is utility model no. U 9202796 dated 01-04-93, consisting in a day brick covered in plaster.
And the last item found is utility model no. U 9502619 dated 16-04-96, consisting in a day brick with almost all the orifices filled in plaster and covered by plaster on all sides..
Thus, not having found anything sufficiently dose to the product I have created, I believe it is a product that can cover a need in the construction market.

2° OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the invention leads to covering a possible commercial niche in the construction sector and easing work in the construction of inner partitions that are necessary in any type of construction.
This brick or block has been designed to ease construction work as it can be placed once the vaults have been finished and the entire flooring has been installed, with subsequent advantage of having to cut few flooring pieces and if at some further moment it is necessary to move a partition there are no typical problems in which the floor is not on the same level and as well as this it is necessary to place pieces with subsequent ugliness of the floor, not to mention rack backs to be solved in the vaults as the finish they have is not at the same height.
This item is also designed for finishes to be much stronger than those currently used which are done in plaster or chalk with very soft surfaces that are easily scratched.
At the same time it was also designed to insert electrical wiring conductions in the hollows of the bricks and these are designed to communicate with each other in such a way as to make possible placement of conductions without having to make cuts into the wall for inserting them, it is only necessary to carry out small breakages to place the mechanism boxes and registers and before placing these, the conductions tubes are passed through the hollows in the bricks.
It is also very necessary for air conditioning conduits as there are specially designed pieces for carrying out these installations and they also are used for installing the plumbing conduits with subsequent construction cost reductions.
As it was being developed new advantages were found for it, such as no need for pre-frames for installation of doors and windows with subsequent reductions in building costs.

3° MANUFACTURING PREFERENCES

Manufacturing preference is as follows: Preferently manufactured with an external coating of live plaster and the inside a mixture of plaster or chalk with expanded clay pelletes in a proportion of 75% of clay and 25% of plaster or chalk approximately.
Another form is to substitute expanded clay by perlite.
Another form is to substitute the clay with volcanic rock, natural cork in small pieces or small pellets of Rockwool.

4° DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This is a brick made with an external coating of plaster or chalk that is pre-fabricated or made at the same time as the interior and its interior is made out of a mixture of plaster or chalk with expanded clay in the proportion of 75% of expanded clay and 25% of plaster or chalk, it can also be manufactured with materials in other proportions.
Another material it can be made out of is with perlite in substitution of the expanded clay.
It can also be manufactured substituting expanded clay for volcanic rock, or natural cork in small pieces or pellets of Rockwool or other pellets of insulation that can be used in this type of material.
It is to be manufactured in the sizes considered as to be of most interest depending on the function it will be carrying out, both in length, height and thickness that are approximately of, 60x30x10, 60x30x7, 40x20x10, y 40x20x7 which are the main dimensions and may be in many others.
Special parts will be manufactured for upper parts of doors and windows with several measurements in length, height and thickness, these will incorporate steel rods of the type used in bracing inside it.
Special pieces will be manufactured for air conditioning pre-installation and these will also be used for installing plumbing conduits.
Special parts will be made to avoid having to make too many cuts as cuts create losses in piping communications.
Due to its characteristics, this brick is very lightweight, resistant and hard as it is manufactured out of live materials and is also a thermal and acoustic insulation.
Due to the shape of its orifices which communicate with each other, it is possible to pass conductions for electrical wiring, telephone, television and many others through these holes without having to make cuts to insert the cabling in the wall, it is only necessary to open small breakages for placing the mechanism boxes and registers.
Due to its good finish, it does not leave imperfections in exteriors and is much better for paint finish and uses much less paint.
This material is installed once the vaults have been treated and the flooring is installed.
For perfect placement of this material it is advisable to place it with a system of special rules or traditional ones.
This material is installed with glue of the type used for plaster and it is only necessary to gather the ends with plaster or plaster glue.

Claims

It is a brick made with an external coat of pre-fabricated live plaster or chalk or made at the same time as the interior and the interior is made out of a mixture of live plaster or chalk with expanded day in a proportion of 75% expanded day and 25% plaster or chalk, it can also be manufactured in other proportions of materials.
