Abstract

The present invention refers to a novel block and a method for construction in general, and mainly to retaining walls. The present invention is related to a rectangular-shaped tongued and grooved block, which includes 2 protruding elements located at the upper portion thereof which form two male assemblies. The lower portion of the block is formed by 2 circular apertures located at the center portion of the assemblies, each aperture communicating the male assembly with the female assembly, thus crossing the block from the upper portion to the lower portion thereof. A longitudinal groove that is surrounding and interconnecting the aforesaid apertures one to each other is located at the central portion of the block, the groove duplicating the section thereof following the blocks assembly, thus forming along with the circular apertures a plurality of conduits interconnected to each other. The front and back portion of the block include a perimetral recess which only function is to provid e a decoration to the finished wall. The installation method consists in horizontally locating the blocks in a tongue-and-groove manner, thus assembling together the male and female portion, between each block raw a reinforced horizontal and vertical rod is inserted into each circular aperture, subsequently and adhesive, such as premixed concrete, is poured into the apertures and flowed through out the whole conduits until the same are fully filled out therewith. The blocks may be manufactured out both in light and heavy materials. Corner and perpendicular walls may be built, as well as dies, columns, geometrical figures, etc.

Description

Super interlocking tongue and groove block assembly with internal cavities to accommodate rods, Adhesive and methods for installation. Background of the Invention 'Currently the procedures used for construction in general have the characteristic of being too slow and labor-intensive, for example, the construction of fences or walls usually require leveling the ground, placing a template, making a reinforced concrete chain the partitions or blocks are glued with a mortar joint; It also requires the casting of reinforced concrete columns or castles and chain closing to prevent them from falling to finalize the application of a final finish is required either repellado, plaster or some other. It is logical that all this process and materials require more labor, lengthen the completion times and consequently increase costs. In order to eliminate some of these drawbacks this block is designed and that it is intended to protect by means of the present application since it is a block that by its design of perfect assembly does not require castles, beams or board to stick, nor Finishing, if required can be installed provisionally and be removed is necessary to have a minimum of waste of materials compared to a traditional construction. This block can be used in different areas of construction since it is an alternative block that can be made of both heavy materials such as cement, sand, plaster, clay, tepetate, resins etc. and lightweight materials such as polystyrene, and polyurethane just to mention a few.

Description of the invention The detailed characteristics of this innovative block are clearly shown in the following description and in the drawings and illustrations where each of its parts are pointedly indicated, and installation methods. In fig. 1 and 2 shows a conventional perspective of the block comprising a main body defining a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

Fig. 1 1) Upper surface of rectangular shape parallel to its lower counterpart number (9) that serves as a base to receive the following blocks see Fig. 7 2) Male assemblies are two over conical circular reliefs whose sole function is the coupling with its counter part female assembly number (10) Fig.2. This tongue and groove assembly does not allow the blocks to move out of position. See Fig. 7 3) Casting holes are two each at the center of the male overlays have the characteristic of traversing the block vertically from the top to the bottom and to the center of the female cavities number (10) Fig. 2 , will form a continuous vertical duct together with the other blocks, see Fig. 5 4) Top slot for adhesive distribution and sealing. This slot is longitudinal this to the center of the upper part has the function of containing a reinforcing rod, and once armed the blocks duplicate its section.and thus evenly distribute the adhesive coming from the casting holes number (3) In this way you will join and seal one block with another. 5) Parallel and equal side faces its only function is to limit the block, it has a vertical slot, number (6). 6) Side slots. These slots are placed on the sides, number (5) are at the center vertically and interconnecting the top slot, number (4) with the bottom slot, number (4) this slot when joining with another block doubles its section and thus allows a good adhesive distribution sealing and gluing the blocks. 7) Front and back faces. Parallel and equal rectangular shapes normally exposed to the view 8) Decor recesses located around the front and back, number (7) its function is only decoration and appearance to assemble the blocks and form a wall. This recess will duplicate its section allowing to see an interlaced slot, which will give the appearance of a traditional apparent red partition, but with more symmetry, this figure will give a final finish. See Fig. 9 Fig.2 9) Lower side of rectangular shape parallel to its upper counter, number (1) Fig. 1 serves to support the blocks and contain the female assemblies, number (10) and the lower slot number (11). 10) Female assembly. There are two circular conical cavities placed in the lower part, number (9), these receive the center the holes of casting, number (3) that come from the top to the center of the male assemblies number (2), Fig. 1 these assemblies have the function of joining with the male assemblies and also joining the blocks with the tongue and groove method (11) Bottom slot As the upper one is located at the center of the lower part, number (9), longitudinally joins the lateral grooves, number (6) Note.- These number slots (4, 6, 11) completely surround the block and together with the casting holes when the blocks are joined, they will form a series of connected ducts that will distribute the adhesive by gluing and sealing all the blocks. See Fig. 5 Installation methods For construction of fences, and dividing walls. 1. - Firstly, the traditional procedures for shaping and leveling the ground are followed, mortar stencils are placed and a chain of reinforced concrete is cast with rods towards the top, these rods must have a separation determined by the emptying holes of the superblock and an approximate height of 40 cm., see figure (3). 2. - The blocks are placed horizontally in a row by inserting the rods into the casting or casting holes in the upper part of each row of blocks a reinforcing rod is placed in the slots intended to contain and tie with the rebar, see figure (4). AND (7) 3. - Having passed the rebar rods continue stacking the blocks in a loop, this means that the top one is placed in the middle of the bottom, see figure (5) 4. - Reaching an average height of 1 to 2 meters, Cut the rods at the height of the wall and proceed to make them bayonet, see figure (6) '5. - They are introduced in the emptying holes reaching the bottom they are turned and pulled they must be hooked on the first horizontal rod. See figure (7) 6. - Then tie the rods in the upper part, see Fig. 8 align and check, the plumb bob. of the wall should cover the ducts that are exposed and thus avoid leakage of adhesive. Fig. 9 7. - Check the fluidity of the adhesive and empty it into the casting holes, see Fig. (10) until they are completely filled 8. - In 90 degree corners the same procedure is followed, only the square is formed see figure (1 1) 9. - When a wall perpendicular to the other is required, see figure (12)

RE? VESDICACIO ES Having sufficiently described my invention I consider it a novelty and therefore I claim it as my exclusive property, contained in the following clauses. Superblock tongue and groove interlacing rapid assembly with internal cavities for housing, rebar, adhesive and methods for installation.

1. - This is a block whose faces have different shapes and characteristics. Seen from the top side, it is observed rectangular and completely symmetrical 2 on reliefs, male assemblies of circular shape with conicity in their outer diameter, each with a hole circular to the center, which crosses the block to the bottom, these They serve to contain the adhesive. It has a groove in the center and that crosses longitudinally passing to the center of the male-assemblies.

2. - Seen from the lower side, it can be seen rectangular shapes completely symmetrical 2 cavities, female assembly of circular shape with conicity in its outer diameter each with a circular hole in the center coming from its upper face. Also pose a groove that crosses longitudinally passing to the center of the female assemblies.

3. - Its front face parallel and equal to the back has a perimeter recess whose sole function is to give the block symmetry and aesthetics in conjunction with the other blocks.

4. - The parallel and totally equal side faces have a slot vertically that gives continuity and joins the upper groove with the lower groove, this groove in conjunction with the other armed blocks form a series of conduits that are joined together, housing the reinforcing rods and the adhesive. METHODS FOR INSTALLATION Basically, on level and cemented terrain, rows of blocks are placed horizontally, reinforcement rods are placed between the rows, the blocks are enclosed and interlocked one by the other. In the emptying holes another reinforcing rod is introduced and finally the adhesive is added, this will circulate through all ducts, will join and seal all the blocks together with the rods, once this is finished the front and back will have a final decoration without need of final finishing.
