Definitions

• BUILDING SYSTEM This system has been designed to facilitate the construction of buildings, walls, cross walls and the like without the need for special equipment or techniques.
• the essential idea is to provide a basic interbonding system using three types of blocks.
• the blocks are designed to firmly lock together and thus the construction does not require the traditional mortar or cement to bond it together. Due to the selection and position of the protruding ears and of the grooves that fit on said protruding ears, it is possible to interlock said blocks in parallel, in cross- section or in any other desired arrangement or com ⁇ bination. Thus, with this system any simple or complex structure may be built.
• the object of the invention is to provide three basic blocks with which any desired structure can be built.
• Another object is to obtain a construction system which does not require special equipment or skilled workmen.
• a further object is to provide the means for precision molding of blocks.
• Another object is to use as few molds as possible to reduce manufacturing costs.
• Another object is providing blocks which may be easily cubed for transportation and stocking.
• Another object is to make it easy for the builder to choose acquire and use the blocks.
• Figure 1 is a perspective top and bottom view of a group of full blocks.
• Figure 2 is a top plant view of the half- block.
• Figure 3 is a cross-section view of figure 2 at lines III-III.
• Figure 4 is a top plant view of the full block.
• Figure 5 is a cross-section view of figure 4 at lines V-V.
• Figure 6 is a cross-section view of figure 4 at lines VI-VI.
• Figure 7 is a top plant view of the knock-out block.
• Figure 8 is a cross-section view of figure 7 at lines VIII-VIII.
• Figure 9 is a cross-section view of figure 7 at lines IX-IX.
• Figure 10 is a cross-section view of figure 7 at lines X-X.
• Figure 11 is a top plant view of the shoe assembly 1 of the block molding.
• Figure 12 is a cross-section of figure 11 at lines XII-XII.
• Figure 13 is a cross-section of figure 11 at lines XIII-XIII.
• Figure 14 is a plant view which shows a particular configuration of interbonded blocks.
• Figure 15 shows the parallel and side by side block interbonding.
• Figure 16 (a) to (i) show some of the many possible configurations obtained by combining and inter ⁇ bonding the full block, the half block and the knock-out block.
• the system comprises the combination of three basic building blocks.
• the measurements between the tapered groove faces 106 must be greater than the sides of ears 107 BB or 107 CC. 3) The tapered groove 106 is larger at the bottom face 109 than at the top face 108. This makes for an adequate locating device when in contact with the ears 107 AB or 107 AC.
• the center webs 103 are placed in critical positions that ensure the exact location for the pro ⁇ truding ears 107 AB and 107 AC. That makes the ultra block system so versatile.
• face of ear 104 protrudes in a 1/5 to 1/25 rate the distance between the bottom face 109 of the block and top face of the block in relation to said face 108.
• the half block is exactly half the size of the full block and it can be incorporated into the system in any combination.
• the groove 200 in any face 201 will slide down the ear 107 AB or 107 AC of the full .ultra block and any combination of end or side faces of any proceeding block, full, half or lintel.
• the main function of the half block is to give any wall built with this system a straight end wall finish when using the running bond method of construction.
• the characteristics of the half block are the greater cavity and the four internal recesses in the four internal block walls.
• Figure 2 illustrates it has no protruding ears. Nevertheless, it fits in the bonding with the basic block.
• the block is designed to fit into this system. Internal interlock is as per the full and half blocks. TYPICAL INTERLOCKING METHOD FOR RUNNING BOND STRAIGHT
• Block D is placed on blocks A and B in a central position, the groove 100 located on both end faces 102 of block D will slide down the ear 107 AC on block A and the ear 107 AB on block B.
• the tapered grooves sides 106 on face 102 block D being larger than sides of the ear 107 AC block A and the ear 107 AB on block B, and the distance between the grooves 100 on the faces 102 on block D being greater than the distance between the ear 107 AC on block A and the ear 107 AB on block B when the end face 102 of block A is in contact with the end face 102 of block B.
• D block is in positions when the bottom face 109 of block D is in contact with the top face 108 of block A and the top face 108 of block B.
• Block E is placed on blocks B and C in a central position to groove 100 in the end face 102, the blocks will slip down the ear 107 AC of block B, the distance between the ears 107 AB and 107 AC being greater than the distance between the groove 100 face 102 block E when the two end faces 102 make contact.
• the central position of the protruding ears in the base block means that variations should be introduced in the process.
• the first variation is due to the fact that pressurized air currents cannot be used without damaging the integrity of the protruding ears when a single core bar, instead of the twin bars used in this process, is used.
• the second problem is that for forming the protruding ears a molding press having the exact form of the pro- truding ears for the formation thereof is used, and this solution malforms the resulting molded ear due to a suction effect occurring at the time of removing the mold once the ear is formed.
• the suction effect also causes the mold to retain some of the concrete which should have stayed on the ear. In other words, the compression shoes get dirty and have to be cleaned in every block formation cycle.
• the mold herein described is designed for using the twin core bars 400A supporting steel cores 401A.
• the positions of the twin bars 400A can be approximate ⁇ ly 6 mm from the external edge 402A of the protruding ear to a position of approximately 3 mm with relation to the external edge of the steel core.
• the section of twin bars in the area 403A extends downwards between steel cores 401A to the first level defined by top face 404A of said block. In the 6 mm space located between the two
• twin bars 400A gives place to the use of conventional measures for cleaning the loose concrete deposited on the block face without damaging the protruding ears as mentioned before.
• the method of depositing the additional material in the area comprised between the twin bars is used by setting the height of the material strike off plate in the area disposed between the core bars.
• the adjustment of the height will depend on the type of mixture used as well as on -hhe materials conforming said mixture.
• FIG. 10 shows the special machinery necessary to manufacture concrete blocks.
• the con ⁇ figuration shown would be very expensive for production, for it requires a special machinery as well as a minimum of additional elements for supporting the block in its humid state.
• the production of the conventional equip ⁇ ment is more expensive and less versatile.
