    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to construction materials and in particular to a system of interlocking modular blocks for stronger structures with built-in passageways for utility conduits and wiring to be used in constructing entire structures.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Several attempts have been made in the past to reduce ever increasing construction labor costs. Laying blocks constitute a big portion of the direct labor cost. The need for a sturdy structure limits the economic steps that may be taken to reduce cost. The previous construction block systems could not route wires or conduits up and or around corners.
  • It is worthwhile noting the approach take by Ernest A. Rabassa U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,431 was close to a workable solution but his design lacked a method for routing wires and conduits around and up corners and the “column interlocking block and corner interlocking block” in this patent would have been difficult to cast or mold. The present invention addresses short comings of the original column blocks and corner blocks of the “block interlocking blocks” of U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,431.
  • Other patents for interlocking building blocks provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem of building a sturdy and economical wall structure. Refer to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,314,431; 2,392,551; 2,291,712; 2,544,983 and 1,430,431. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.
  • The present application provides an improvement over in part over patents in several countries in Central and South America, namely:
    • (a) El Salvador, No. 128, Book 15, Nov. 22, 1977.
    • (b) Dominican Republic, No. 1105, Jun. 11, 1964
    • (c) Venezuela, No. 2199, Nov. 21, 1975.
    • (d) Ecuador, No. 5, May 17, 1976
    • (e) Honduras, No. 2.172, Nov. 29, 1976.
    • (1) Panama, No. 32123, Apr. 14, 1975.
    • (g) Nicaragua, No. 2163521, Feb. 28, 1975.
  • What is needed is a system comprising new interlocking block types with built-in passageways for utility conduits and wiring and a new method of fabricating structures using the blocks that will interlock-and cooperate with each other forming stronger wall structures with minimum labor.
    • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a system comprising three new interlocking building blocks to greatly strengthen corners where more then two walls intersect.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a system comprising six different block types with built-in passageways for utility conduits and wiring and a new method of fabricating structures using the blocks that will interlock and cooperate with each other forming stronger wall structures with minimum labor.
  • It is another object of the present invention to provide a column block, corner column blocks and T column blocks with an opening on the top of the blocks to route electrical wiring and conduits to the standard block above by chiseling a two inch opening on the bottom of the longitudinal horizontal opening of a Standard Block.
  • The invention also comprises such other objects, advantages and capabilities as will later more fully appear and which are inherently possessed by the invention.
  • In brief, a system of interlocking modular blocks are structured to be interlocked to form various structural features having great strength and ease of fabrication qualities with built-in passageways for conduits, wiring, cement and reinforcing bars.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The modular interlocking block system of the present invention provides a number of interlocking blocks structured to be interlocked to form various structural features having great strength and ease of fabrication qualities with built-in passageways for conduits, wiring, cement and reinforcing bars.
  • Referring now to FIG. 1, where the Standard Block interlocking block 20A is shown, it is seen that it has, a substantially rectangular shape block 24 with a longitudinal trapezoidal built-in protrusion 21 along the center of it's upper side. The Standard Block interlocking block 21 also has a longitudinal trapezoid slot 22, between two bottom longitudinal legs 25A and 25B, which is capable of receiving the top protrusion 21 from another standard block 20A to interlock the blocks when the blocks are staggered or aligned in abutting rows as shown in FIG. 2. A center longitudinal opening 23 provides a channel for conduits and wires 50, as shown in FIG. 2, when a number of standard blocks are aligned to form a wall.
  • In FIGS. 5 and 6, a Column Block interlocking block 20C has the same overall dimensions as Standard Block 20A without the longitudinal protrusion along the center of top. FIG. 5 shows the cable and conduit routing opening 19B on the top of the Column Block interlocking block 20C. FIG. 6 show the bottom view of the Column Block interlocking block 20C with the lower respective partial longitudinal trapezoidal slot 18 molded in the same half of the block in communication with the conduit routing opening 19B, the partial longitudinal slot 18 receives the top longitudinal protrusion 21 from a Standard Block interlocking block 20A to interlock the two blocks. The other half of the Column Block interlocking block 20C is provided with a vertical column opening 19A from the top to the bottom, through which vertical column opening 19A mortar may be poured reinforced with iron rods CC+ROD which extend all the way down to the foundation.
  • In FIGS. 11 and 12, a Corner Column Block interlocking block 20F has an elongated rectangular box portion 24 the same overall dimensions as a Column Block interlocking block 20A with the addition of a second column block 24A extending at a right angle sharing the common opening 19B through which mortar may be poured reinforced with iron rods CCB+ROD which extend all the way down to the foundation. FIG. 12 shows the bottom view of the Corner Column Block interlocking block 20F with the lower respective partial longitudinal trapezoidal slot 18 molded in the same half of both part of the block for receiving the top longitudinal protrusion 21 from a Standard Block interlocking block 20A to interlock the two blocks.
  • In FIGS. 7 and 8, a T Column Block interlocking block 20D has the same overall dimensions as a Corner Column Block interlocking block 20F with the addition of a third column block 24B extending at a right angle from the rectangular box portion 24 and extending straight from the second column block portion 24A, and sharing the common opening 19B through which mortar may be poured reinforced with iron rods TCB+ROD which extend all the way down to the foundation. FIG. 8 show the bottom view of the T Column Block interlocking block 20D with the lower respective partial longitudinal trapezoidal slot 18 molded in the same half of all three parts of the block for receiving the top longitudinal protrusion 21 from one or more Standard Block interlocking blocks 20A to interlock the blocks.
  • In FIG. 10, a wooden 2 by 4 board 40 is used as a lintel rib in conjunction with two Cube Blocks 20E as a procedural change to the original use of cement and iron rod shaped into an elongated trapezoidal cross-section. Producing a cement and steal rod lintel for door or window openings is too complicated a process for the scope of simplified construction.
  • In FIG. 3, a Beam Block interlocking block 20B is the same overall size as the Standard Block interlocking block 20A and has a longitudinal trapezoid bottom slot 22, between two bottom longitudinal legs 25A and 25B, which is capable of receiving the top protrusion 21 from a Standard Block interlocking block 20A to interlock the blocks, is shown in FIG. 4. The Beam Block interlocking block 20B also has a larger top longitudinal rectangular slot 28 between two top longitudinal arms 26A and 26B along its length.
  • In FIG. 14, a constructed intersection of four walls, 8 feet high, made with Corner Column Blocks interlocking blocks 20F and interlocking Standard Block interlocking blocks 20A, is three times stronger for West walls, two times stronger for South walls and approximately 1.6 times stronger for North and East walls compared to using Column Blocks interlocking blocks 20C, as shown in FIG. 13.
  • The Corner Column Block interlocking block 20F connects with Standard Block interlocking blocks 20A in six places for West walls compared to two places using Column Block interlocking blocks 20C, as shown in FIG. 13.
  • The Corner Column Block interlocking block 20F connects with Standard Block interlocking blocks in six places for South walls Compared to three places using Column Block interlocking blocks 20C, as shown in FIG. 13.
