Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable simple, easy, and suitable formation of a joint even by an amateur, the joint being formed by filing bonding mortar cement or the like when block bodies such as bricks for use in construction, civil engineering, landscape architecture, etc., are cumulated on each other or aligned like a plane. SOLUTION: The plurality of block bodies are adjacently arranged by cumulating the same on each other or aligning the same like a plane. One surface in an aligning direction of the block bodies, e.g. a front surface, has a projection formed thereon, and another surface, e.g. a rear surface, of the block has a recess formed therein at a location corresponding to the projection. Then, the height dimension of the projection is set larger than the depth dimension of the recess by a predetermined value, and therefore when the block bodies are aligned, the projection of the block body is fitted into or engaged with the recess of the block body adjacent to the former one. In this manner, the positional relation between the mutually adjacent block bodies is determined, and a predetermined gap is formed between the mutually adjacent block bodies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to bricks, concrete, tiles, plastics and other blocks used for walls, foundations, partitions and the like constructed in architecture, civil engineering, landscaping, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the fields of construction and civil engineering, fences,
When constructing walls, foundations, etc., bricks and concrete blocks are stacked or arranged in parallel in a plane, and tiles and plastic plate-like blocks are also arranged in parallel on walls and floors. That is being done. Also, in the field of landscaping, when constructing partitions, shelves, and the like, blocks such as bricks, concrete, plastic, and the like are stacked or arranged in parallel in a plane.

In order to stack or arrange the blocks in parallel in a plane, it is necessary to properly position and arrange the adjacent blocks so as to be beautiful and to arrange them accurately. is there. In addition, when connecting and fixing the aligned block bodies with mortar cement or an adhesive, it is necessary to accurately perform joints, which requires a skillful operation. Normally, when cuboid blocks are stacked or arranged in parallel in a plane, in order to work with joints of the required thickness to connect and fix them together, they are laid out while positioning accurately with water thread. It needed to be set up.

[0004] In order to solve such a problem, for example, when stacking bricks, a groove is formed along the longitudinal direction at a position slightly inside the longitudinal surface on the upper and lower surfaces, and the inside of the groove is formed. It is known to use a brick in which a joint plate for regulating joint thickness and joint is inserted. However, in this case,
Since a joint plate is required separately, there is a problem that the cost increases.

Further, without using such a separate member,
In order to accurately determine the position, convex portions and concave portions corresponding to each other are formed in advance on a block body such as a brick, and when stacked or arranged in parallel in a plane, these convex portions and concave portions are fitted. Alternatively, it is also known that the blocks are automatically aligned by being engaged.
(JP-A-9-242218, JP-A-2-279803,
2-20440)

However, in these cases, the protrusions and recesses of the joint surface are simply arranged by fitting or engaging them, and in order to securely connect and fix the joints, a connection such as mortar cement is used. The joint is not formed using the material. Therefore, when joints are formed between the blocks, there is a concern that the thickness of the joints is not constant, the alignment of the blocks is not proper, and the arrangement is distorted. In this case, the joints are formed. There is a problem that skill is required for construction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a block body for stacking a plurality of block bodies or arranging them in parallel in a plane, wherein the block bodies are arranged in parallel. A convex portion is provided on one surface in the parallel arrangement direction, for example, the front surface, and a concave portion is provided on the other surface, for example, the rear surface, at a position corresponding to the convex portion.
When the blocks are arranged adjacent to each other, the protrusions and recesses of the adjacent blocks are fitted or engaged to determine the positional relationship between the adjacent blocks, and a certain gap is generated between the blocks. It is formed in.

The convex and concave portions are formed such that the height of the convex portion is larger than the depth of the concave portion by a predetermined size, so that the adjacent convex and concave portions of the block body are fitted. If they are arranged in parallel with each other, a gap is reliably formed between adjacent block bodies by a predetermined size. Therefore, at the time of disposing the block body, the gap is preliminarily filled with a binder such as mortar cement, or if it is filled after disposing, the block bodies are simply arranged in parallel, such as simply stacking. Alignment is performed without distortion.

[0011] In addition, if the convex portion and the concave portion are formed with a step on one of the side surfaces to be fitted or engaged, and the degree of the fitting or engagement is determined by the step, filling can be achieved. Even if the material enters the engaging portion, the extra filler can be dropped into the gap at the tip portion, so that the alignment is not disturbed.
