Definitions
- the invention relates to a brick.
- Bricks are known. They are usually laid with the aid of mortar one on top of the other. An amount of mortar is then applied to a previously laid brick, whereupon a new brick is placed thereon and is slightly pressed-on. As a result, the mortar can spread uniformly between the bricks. Excess mortar is pressed outwards and then removed by the bricklayer.
- a drawback of the known brick is that positioning and uniformly pressing-on for obtaining straight, regular joints requires a high degree of craftsmanship. Furthermore, due to wiping away excess mortar, relatively much mortar is lost. It is further often difficult for a bricklayer to reach the side of the brickwork facing away from him, so that excess mortar can remain behind thereon. This may afterwards cause problems with, inter alia, insulation.
- the object of the invention is to provide a brick, with which the above-mentioned drawbacks are at least partly obviated.
- the brick according to the invention is characterized in that it is provided on one side with an upstanding edge which extends along at least a part of the circumference and is closed along at least one side and is interrupted along an opposite side.
- the bricks are set dry, at least without joints, one onto the other.
- This side requires, in principle, no finishing.
- the bricks are set dry one onto the other, for correct positioning, that is, positioning the bricks at a regular mutual distance, hardly any special skill is required.
- the fact is that the bricks can simply be laid on the upstanding edge of a previously placed brick.
- a brick according to the invention can further help a bricklayer with application of a correct amount of mortar, as the receiving provision surrounded by the upstanding edge forms a good visual indication for the required amount of mortar.
- the bricklayer needs only fill this receiving provision.
- the bricks can be delivered with an associated trowel, whose dimensions are adapted to those of the receiving provision of the respective bricks, so that a user can apply the correct amount of mortar even more easily. This saves time and money as less excess mortar will need to be wiped away and less mortar will be lost.
- the bricks may have been manufactured in a moulding tray. Owing to its withdrawable form, the upstanding edge can simply be integrally formed. Normally, such bricks manufactured in moulding trays cannot be set in a dry manner one onto the other. Thereto, they first need to be calibrated, i.e. be made level and/or right-angled. However, with a brick according to the invention this is not necessary.
- the bricks can be placed on top of one another in the above-described manner, while any manufacturing irregularities in the bricks are smoothed out by the mortar between the bricks, as is done with conventional brickwork. This smoothening action however is largely hidden from sight due to the closed upstanding edge.
- the sight side of the effected brickwork will give the appearance of a jointless wall, with bricks laid dry one on top of the other.
- bricklaying without joints can be effected.
- the bricks need not lie dry one on the other.
- a small seam of, for instance, approximately 1 - 2 mm can be present.
- a side of the brick located opposite the upstanding edge can be provided with bonding enhancing means, such as, for instance, grooves, projections, ridges and/or recesses.
- bonding enhancing means such as, for instance, grooves, projections, ridges and/or recesses.
- Such means help increase the contact surface between the brick and the mortar. As this contact surface is slightly restricted due to the upstanding edges, thus, on balance, the same, at least sufficient bonding capacity can be realised.
- the bonding enhancing means extend on the side mentioned preferably within the area which operatively comes into contact with the mortar, which, in general, will amount to an area that extends within the (projected) inside contour of the upstanding edge.
- the invention further relates to brickwork of bricks according to the invention, wherein the interrupted upstanding edges are located on a first side of the brickwork and the closed upstanding edges are located on an opposite side.
- the invention further relates to a method for effecting brickwork with bricks according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows, in perspective view, an embodiment of a brick 1 according to the invention, wherein the brick 1 is substantially block-shaped.
- the brick 1 comprises, in particular, six substantially rectangular side surfaces, i.e. a bottom surface 3, a top surface 4, two end faces 5, 6 and two stretcher faces 7, 8.
- the top surface 4 is provided along its circumference with an upstanding edge 10.
- This edge 10 extends by respective edge parts 10A,B,C along three sides of the top surface 4, i.e. the two end faces 5, 6 and one stretcher face 8.
- a receiving provision S for mortar 15 is formed, while this receiving provision S is open towards one side of the brick 1, in this case a longitudinal or stretcher side 7.
- the edge 10 is completely interrupted, at least completely omitted, along the stretcher side 7.
- the upstanding edge 10 can extend at least partly along this stretcher side 7, while at least one interruption is provided (not shown).
- the upstanding edge parts 10A,B can comprise one or more interruptions (not shown) along the respective end faces 5, 6.
- the brick 1 can further comprise bonding enhancing means, on a side surface 10 located opposite the upstanding edge 10, here, the bottom surface 3.
- These bonding enhancing means can be designed as projecting parts such as ridges, projections or the like, but are preferably designed as recesses, such as grooves, notches or the like.
- the latter embodiment causes no deviations in position when a brick 1 is accidentally placed by these means on an upstanding edge 10 of another brick 1.
- the bonding enhancing means preferably extend only within an area which operatively extends above a receiving provision S of another brick 1.
- the bonding enhancing means therefore preferably extend within the areas 12, 12' shown in hatchings in Figs. 3A and 3B , respectively.
- Fig. 3A shows the bottom surface 3 of a brick 1 whose upstanding edge 10 extends along three sides 5, 6, 8 of the top surface 4 (as shown in Fig. 1 )
- Fig. 3B shows the bottom surface 3' of a brick 1' whose upstanding edge 10 (not visible) also extends along the fourth side 7', naturally with at least one interruption.
- the brick 1 shown in Fig. 1 has a withdrawable form and, as a result, can be manufactured in, for instance, a moulding tray from, for instance, clay.
- the upstanding edge 10 can be integrally formed by providing the moulding tray with a suitable, complementary profile.
- the passage between the upstanding edge 10 and the top surface 4 of the brick 1 can be somewhat rounded or bevelled.
- the bottom surface 3 of the brick will then correspond to the top side of the clay in the filled-up moulding tray.
- This top side can be wiped off to be smooth, but can also be provided with a profile for forming the above-mentioned bonding enhancing means.
- Such a profile can be pressed into the clay with, for instance, a profiled tool.
- Fig. 2 shows how a number of bricks 1 according to the invention can be laid one on top of the other.
- a bricklayer M first lays a first row of bricks 1, preferably with their receiving provisions S turned upwards and their interrupted edges 10 facing the bricklayer M, as shown in Fig. 2 .
- the receiving provisions S are filled with mortar 15 and a row of second bricks 1 is placed on the first bricks, for instance staggered over half a stretcher length.
- the second bricks 1 are preferably placed on the first bricks in a position tilted slightly backward, on the completely closed edge 10C situated rearwards from the perspective of the bricklayer M, as shown in Fig. 2 .
- the brick 1 is tilted to a horizontal position, in the direction of arrow R.
- the mortar 15 will be spread over the receiving provision S and excess mortar 15 will be pressed outward, through the interrupted edge 10, in the direction of the bricklayer M, as indicated by arrow B.
- the bricklayer M can then simply remove this excess mortar 15.
- the second brick 1 always remains in contact with the edge part 10C and furthermore, this edge part 10C is completely closed, no mortar 15 can exit on this side.
- no excess mortar 15 needs to be removed.
- a surface is formed with an appearance that is tidy and like dry-set masonry which, in principle, needs no further finishing. As a result, the entire bricklaying process can be considerably simplified and accelerated.
- the upstanding edge 10 can extend along other side surfaces of the brick 1.
- Such an upstanding edge 10 can also extend along several side surfaces, in particular two opposite side surfaces of the brick 1, for instance the top surface 4 and the bottom surface 3.
- both edges 10 are preferably provided on the same side 7 of the brick 1 with interruptions, or be completely omitted.
- Such an embodiment can be combined with a conventional brick (without upstanding edges), while maintaining the above-described advantages of a brick according to the invention.
- a layer of conventional bricks and a layer of bricks according to the above-mentioned embodiment can be laid on top of each other.
- the (building) stones can also be manufactured from a different material, for instance concrete or limestone.
- the bricks can also be placed at some distance from each other in lateral direction so that between the adjacent bricks, vertical joints are formed.
- the edge parts 10A,B which extend along these sides can be provided with interruptions, so that mortar can be pressed out via these interruptions into the vertical joints.
