Definitions

  • a longitudinal groove centrally located between the ribs (12), said groove having downwardly and inwardly converging flat side walls and a flat bottom wall.
  • a correspondingly shaped groove is located in the recess.
  • a central vertical aperture is located entirely through the block midway between the vertical end faces and communicates at opposite ends with the upper and lower grooves. Oppositely disposed, transverse, narrow flat extensions of the apertures terminate near the opposite sides of the block.
  • Stretcher blocks have a reduced flat recess, substantially as wide as the longitudinal recess, in each vertical end and a central vertical groove in each recess communicates at its opposite ends with the grooves in the upper and lower longitudinal faces. Corner blocks, blocks for use at intersections of partition walls, and blocks for use at door jambs or window openings have such a recess and groove in only one vertical end face. Blocks for use in building pilasters and the like have both ends flat.
  • the blocks may be made in full standard width, 8" X 8" x 16", and half width, 4" x 8" X 16", and the full width and half width blocks may be interlocked in the same course to build a 12" thick wall.
  • the invention relates to interlocking building block construction of concrete or the like, for the construction of walls, buildings, panels and similar masonry structures, and more particularly to building blocks of the general type which are laid up in the manner of a dry wall, and are provided with interior openings and grooves registering with each other to form a network of vertical and horizontal mortar spaces entirely within the wall for receiving grout or the like after the wall has been laid up, forming a network of grout entirely within the wall for bonding the blocks together, with no mortar joints appearing from the exterior of the wall.
  • the invention includes conventional size, 8" X 8" X 16", concrete blocks, and 4" X 8" X 16" blocks, and contemplates the construction of a 12" thick wall in which 8" thick blocks and 4" thick blocks are used side by side in a single course of blocks, and in which in certain courses the 8" thick blocks are on the outside of the wall, while in certain other courses the 4" thick blocks are on the outside of the wall.
  • the invention also includes not only stretcher blocks, which form the greater part of a wall or other structure, but several types of corner blocks for use at the corners of building walls and the like, for use at intersections of Patented Oct. 20, 1970 partition walls with other walls, blocks for forming door jambs or window openings, and blocks for use in building pilasters and the like.
  • building blocks may be materially lightened in weight by replacing said relatively narrow half-round grooves with relatively wide and deep grooves each having inwardly converging flat side walls and a flat bottom wall.
  • the invention may be briefly described as including a standard size 8" X 8" X 16" stretcher block having a pair of opposite parallel fiat sides, upper and lower parallel longitudinal faces and opposite vertical transverse end faces.
  • a pair of longitudinal ribs of a combined width only slightly less than the width of the block are formed upon the upper longitudinal face and have substantially fiat top surfaces.
  • Narrow, flat, vertical air spaces are formed in each of the ribs and extend vertically through the block to the recess in the lower longitudinal surface thereof.
  • a centrally located longitudinal groove is formed be tween the ribs, being of considerable width and of a depth equal to the height of the ribs.
  • the side walls of the groove are flat and converge inwardly to a flat bottom wall.
  • a correspondingly shaped groove is formed in the recess in the lower longitudinal face of the block, and the ends of these longitudinal grooves connect with the upper and lower ends of correspondingly shaped vertical grooves in the transverse vertical end surfaces of the block.
  • both transverse vertical end walls of the stretcher block are slightly recessed so as to form flat transverse vertical portions of the mortar spaces between the ends of the block extending to points near opposite sides of the block.
  • a centrally located vertical cylindrical aperture is located entirely through the block from top to bottom communicating at opposite ends with the upper and lower longitudinal grooves.
  • Another improvement in the present block is the provision of oppositely disposed transverse narrow, flat extensions of this central aperture, terminating near the opposite sides of the block and extending vertically from the ribs in the upper longitudinal face to the recess in the lower longitudinal face.
  • This construction not only provides additional mortar space to reduce the weight of the block and increase the strength of a wall constructed therefrom, but also provides an easy method for separating the block into two half blocks.
  • Corner blocks are formed which are similar to the stretcher blocks except that one vertical end face is fiat instead of being recessed and grooved, a circular transverse mortar aperture is located halfway between the center of the block and the closed end, two spaced circular air spaces are located through one end portion of each of the ribs instead of one elongated air space at this side of the center.
  • Aligned, transversely disposed grooves are located in the tops of the ribs on each side of said central mortar opening.
  • Transversely disposed notches are located in the bottom of the corner block, between the center and the fiat end thereof, for fitting over the ribs and into the groove of a block in the course below.
  • a modified form of corner block is constructed as described above excepting that between the center and the closed end of the block the ribs are cut away at the top so as to form only four substantially square pads, one surrounding each of the four circular air spaces at this end of the block.
  • a specially designed jamb block is provided for use at a door or window opening.
  • This block is very similar to the first described corner block excepting that there are no transversely disposed grooves in the tops of the ribs and no transversely disposed notches in the bottom of the block, and at the fiat or closed end thereof there is a depending tapered projection to fit into the groove in the upper longitudinal surface of a block in the next lower course.
  • a specially designed pilaster block is also provided especially for use in connection with 4" thick blocks for building a 12" thick wall with one or more pilasters formed therein, this block being closed at both ends.
  • Stretchers, corner blocks of varying lengths, and pilaster blocks are formed in the 4" thick blocks adapted to be interlocked with the 8" thick standard size blocks.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a standard size 8" x 8" x 16" concrete block designed to be interlocked with blocks 4" thick and 8" high for building a 12" thick Wall or a pilaster.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a building block of the character referred to having substantially wide, deep mortar grooves with inwardly converging fiat side walls and a fiat bottom wall.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such a building block having a central vertical mortar aperture with transversely disposed flat extensions terminating near opposite side walls of the block for allowing grout to run into an adjoining 4" thick block, for easily separating the blocks into half units, and for allowing an increased amount of mortar throughout the wall for greater transverse and compressive strength.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide enlarged horizontal grooves at the top and bottom of the block to allow for easier placement of horizontal reinforcing rods and to permit easier grout flow.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a block of this character having an enlarged center opening and end grooves permitting easier grout flow through the wall, and to permit easier placement of vertical rods.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a block of the character referred to having enlarged horizontal and vertical grout grooves therein creating a solid wedge within the wall, increasing both compressive and transverse wall strength.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide such a block having a vertical central mortar aperture provided wtih transverse oppositely disposed narrow, flat extensions allowing the grout to spread through the wall for tighter joints at corners.

  • Each course of this pilaster may be composed of a 4" stretcher block 43, an 8" pilaster block 42, and a 4" pilaster block 47 laid up side by side, or by an 8" stretcher block and an 8" pilaster block.
  • At 61 is indicated generally a pilaster, each course of which may be formed of one 4" stretcher block 43 and an 8" pilaster block 42, or by an 8" stretcher block and a 4" pilaster block.
  • a 12" wall may be constructed of courses, each of which comprises 8" blocks and 4" blocks laid side by side and interlocked with blocks in the adjacent courses. Since the single longitudinal rib on the top of the 4" block is of the same size and shape as each of the spaced ribs on top of the 8" block, and since the space 62 between the ribs 12 and 12d is the same size and shape as the groove 15 between the ribs 12, it is seen in FIG. 18 that adjacent courses formed of 8" and 4" blocks will interlock regardless of whether the 8" blocks or 4 blocks are on the outside of the wall.
  • FIG. 17 it is seen how grout will flow from the vertical groove 21 of an 8" stretcher block 10 into the shallow V-shape, or half-diamond shape, recess 46 of a 4" stretcher block or vice versa.
  • FIG. 18 it is seen how grout may flow from one of the narrow fiat extensions 23 of the central vertical groove of an 8 stretcher block into the vertical shallow V-shape recess 46 in the end of a 4" block 43 and also how grout may flow from the diamond shaped central vertical aperture 44 of a 4" block 43 into the vertical end recess 19 in the transverse vertical end of an 8" block 10.
  • substantially hexagonal horizontal portions of the mortar network formed by the longitudinal grooves, as well as the vertical reinforcing ribs formed by the vertical grooves, are rugged and are so shaped that there is less tendency for the mortar to pull away from the grooves when drying.
  • FIG. 19 is illustrated a portion of a masonry wall constructed of the improved building blocks, some of the blocks being removed from the wall to show the network of bonding mortar formed within the wall.
  • this network of bonding mortar comprises the horizontal, substantially hexagonal shaped portions 63, formed in the horizontal grooves 15 and 16 in the upper and lower longitudinal faces respectively of the blocks, and the vertical transverse portions 64, formed in the flat narrow extensions 23 of the central vertical openings 22, and the transverse vertical recesses 19 in the transverse end faces, respectively, of the blocks.
  • the portions 64 are centrally reinforced by the continuous integral ribs having half-round portions 65 formed in the central vertical openings 22 and alternate half-hexagonal portions 66 formed in the vertical grooves 21.
  • the interior of the wall is considerably strengthened over prior practice by a much more rugged network of mortar, the vertical transverse portions extending continuously throughout the entire height of the wall and nearly through the wall transversely from the inside to the outside thereof, and being spaced apart a distance equal to only one-half the length of a block. And the hexagonal, horizontal portions are of considerably greater cross section than the prior cylindrical horizontal portions of mortar.
  • blocks made in accordance with the disclosure in FIGS. 1 to 7 weigh several pounds less than blocks made in accordance with the disclosures in my prior patents, above referred to, when constructed of the same materials.
  • a rectangularly shaped masonry building block including a pair of opposite sides, a pair of opposite upper and lower longitudinal faces and a pair of opposite vertical end faces transverse of said sides and said longitudinal faces, a pair of spaced longitudinal ribs formed on the upper longitudinal face, said spaced pair of ribs being of a combined Width only slightly less than the width of the block and having substantially flat top surfaces, there being a correspondingly shaped longitudinal recess formed in the lower of said longitudinal faces, there being a longitudinal centrally located groove between the ribs, said groove having downwardly and inwardly converging flat side walls and a flat bottom wall, and a correspondingly shaped longitudinal central groove in the recess, there being a central vertical aperture located entirely through the block midway between said vertical end faces and communicating at opposite ends with said upper and lower longitudinal grooves, there being oppositely disposed, transverse, narrow flat extensions of said aperture terminating near said opposite sides of the block.
  • a rectangularly shaped masonry building block as defined in claim 2 in which there are flanges on each vertical end face, said flanges defining a transverse vertical recess in each transverse vertical end face and a centrally disposed vertical groove in each transverse vertical recess.
  • a rectangularly shaped masonry building block as defined in claim 1 in which there are vertical air spaces located through said ribs between said central vertical aperture and each of said transverse vertical end faces, said air spaces extending entirely through the block from top to bottom.
  • a rectangularly shaped masonry building block as defined in claim 6 in which there are two elongated air spaces between the central vertical aperture and one transverse vertical end face and four spaced vertical air spaces with a centrally located vertical mortar aperture between the central vertical aperture and the other transverse vertical end face.
  • a rectangularly shaped masonry building block as defined in claim 7 in which there are two spaced transverse notches in the lower longitudinal face below said four spaced vertical air spaces, said notches being of a size, shape and spacing corresponding to the size, shape and spacing of the ribs on the upper longitudinal face.
  • a wall formed of superposed courses of rectangularly shaped masonry building blocks each block being a rectangularly shaped masonry building block including a pair of opposite sides, a pair of opposite upper and lower longitudinal faces and a pair of opposite vertical end faces transverse of said sides and said longitudinal faces a pair of spaced longitudinal ribs formed on the upper longitudinal face, said spaced pair of ribs being of a combined width only slightly less than the width of the block and having substantially flat top surfaces, there being a correspondingly shaped longitudinal recess formed in the lower of said longitudinal faces, there being a longitudinal centrally located groove between the ribs, said groove having downwardly and inwardly converging flat side walls and a flat bottom wall, and a correspondingly shaped longitudinal central groove in the recess, there being a central vertical aperture located entirely through the block midway between said vertical end faces and communicating at opposite ends with said upper and lower longitudinal grooves, there being oppositely disposed, transverse, narrow flat extensions of said aperture terminating near said opposite sides of the block, flanges on each
