• a block 100 according to the invention is of generally parallelepipedal shape and therefore has six faces.
• the block must be reversible, so that the large faces 110 and 111 must be able to be arranged indifferently, block by block, either towards the outside of the structure, or towards the inside.
• the two other opposite and vertical faces 112 and 113 are provided with alternating male (or “reliefs”) and female (or “hollow”) elements.
• These two reliefs 114 and 115 determine two vertical recesses 116 and 117.
• the relief 114 and the recess 117 are located in full face, while the relief 115 and the recess 116 are each adjacent to one of the two vertical edges 118 and 119 of block 100.
• the two faces 112 and 113 are strictly identical when viewed from the front.
• the male and female elements are arranged in polar symmetry with respect to the vertical geometric axis X of the block 100 and over the entire height of said block 100.
• the block 100 has at least one recess, here two: 120 and 121 separated by a central partition 123 whose "bayonet" shape is adapted to offer good support to the partition having the face 112 or the face 113 of a block 100 placed on the first.
• the faces to be horizontal 125 and 126 also have male elements and female elements.
• the upper face 125 has a relief 127 which covers the entire periphery of the recesses 120 and 121 and which determines two longitudinal zones 128 and 129.
• the lower face 126 has a recess 130 which covers its entire central part and which determines two longitudinal pads 131 and 132.
• the upper blocks rest on the lower blocks by the recess 130 which covers the relief 127.
• the pads 131 and 132 of the upper blocks can also rest on the zones 128 and 129 of the lower block which then form supports ( figure 6). But this plurality of supports located in different planes can make manufacturing more difficult and one can then provide a small clearance between the upper pads 131-132 and the zones 128-129 because, then, one is assured of a good block stability even if the dimensions are imprecise.
• the zones 128 and 129 as well as the pads 131 and 132 are horizontal, flat, smooth and continuous. It is therefore possible to place a block on a other by taking advantage of the lateral self-centering, then of sliding it horizontally to obtain the reciprocal blocking of the two blocks by interpenetration of the reliefs 114-115 in the hollows 116-117,. whether the pads 131-132 are in contact with the zones 128-129 or not.
• the most salient parts of the reliefs 114 and 115 of the faces 112 and 113 are respectively in the same virtual plane PI for the face 112 and P2 for the face 113, these two planes PI and P2 being parallel and perpendicular to the large faces 110 and 111.
• the two reliefs 114 and 115 on the same face constitute very stable support zones, in particular thanks to their relative spacing, for handling machines such as forklifts which have, as is well known in themselves, variable pitch forks, as shown in FI and F2 in Figure 3.
• this handling method is convenient and rapid because, as can be seen in the drawing, and in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, the block 100 placed on a plane P3 offers neither taken nor passage to be raised from below.
• the pads 131 and 132 can rest on the entire length of the zones 128 and 129 of already placed blocks (or, in any case, be very close to it), so that no mechanism can be used whose elements assets should be placed under the block.
• the block 100 does indeed have a passage formed by the hollow 130 but the width of the latter, measured between the pads 131 and 132, is too small to place the forks of a forklift there because the block, relatively heavy, would not be stable under the handling and transport conditions that one finds on an often chaotic construction site.
• a block 100 is therefore done by pinching it by its two opposite faces 112 and 113 and by placing it on the blocks already placed, a short distance from the block which will be adjacent to it because it is necessary to spare the place of the fork FI or F2. Then, the forks being removed, the block 100 is slid until its male and female elements are nested in those of the adjacent block.
• the first row of blocks 100, 101 and 102 can, for example, be placed on a sill 133 established in any suitable manner: directly on leveled ground, on a structure, on a raft 134 etc.
• the sill 133 is calibrated and profiled so that it forms the equivalent of a relief 127, in order to be perfectly capped by the hollows 130 of the blocks of the first row and that these are placed on it while being centered and wedged (figure 6).
• blocks of length equal to half that of standard blocks must be used.
• Such a block 200 is shown in FIG. 7 but it will not be described in detail since it has the same characteristics as the block 100 in FIG. 1, except for its length. This is the reason why it has only one recess 220 and no transverse partition 123.
• the element 200 Due to its identical design to that of the standard element, the element 200 has its opposite projecting elements aligned in the planes PI and P2 for its handling with a forklift FI and F2, as described above. .
• FIG 8 we see another block 300 of identical design to that of blocks 100 and 200 but specially designed to achieve the corners of a structure: load-bearing walls of a building, for example.
• the references used for block 300 are the same as those for block 100 to designate identical parts, but starting with the third hundred instead of the first.
• the element 300 has a face 313 identical to the face 113 of the element 100 but the opposite face 340 is a planar face having an appearance of last finish, that is to say identical to the large faces 310 and 311.
• the block fits between two planes PI and P2 allowing it to be handled by means of a forklift.
• the face 311 is not continuous over the entire length of the block because it comprises male and female elements identically designed and arranged as those of the faces 112, 113 and 313 and designated, for this reason, by the general reference 341 meaning that the face 311 of the block 300 comprises an assembly face.
• the face 341 is provided near one end of the block 300 since its relief 315 is adjacent to the vertical edge 319 of the planar face 340.
• a block 100 assembled on the face 341 has its large face 129 perfectly aligned with the face 340.
• the block 300 has not only two longitudinal zones 328 and 329, but also a zone 342 perpendicular to the previous ones.
• the block 300 also includes pads (not visible in the drawing) similar to the pads 131 and 132 and, in addition, a transverse pad corresponding to the area 342 on which it rests or not, as was indicated above at About zones 128-129 and skates 131-132.
• the block 300 therefore also has an upper relief 327 but, here, it has a rectilinear branch 327a ,.
• the block 300 to be placed on the one below covers the relief 327 on three sides and, consequently, a locking is obtained in the two orthogonal directions of the plane for all the corner blocks.
• the block 400 is identical to the block 300 but its planar face 440 is located in place of the assembly face 313, the lateral assembly face 441 then being close to the other end of the block, but always adjacent to the face plane 440.
• a block 300 extends from the bottom to the top of the drawing and is partially covered by a block 400 which extends from left to right of the drawing, the dotted lines representing the hidden outline of the block 300.
• a block ensuring the connection between two perpendicular walls comprises three assembly faces: two opposite and located at the ends of the block and one in the middle of a large flat face. It may prove necessary to use longer blocks for this purpose than standard blocks, for example of double length to keep a construction module coherent.
• crossed walls by providing blocks having substantially the shape of a cross, that is to say having four opposite assembly faces two by two. Thanks to the perfect reversibility of the assembly faces, these blocks can be arranged according to any of the four possible orientations. Likewise, these blocks can be handled by means of forks clamped laterally against any of the two pairs of opposite faces.
• FIG. 10 represents a variant of the invention according to which a block 500 has assembly faces having a relief 514 and a hollow 517 of rounded shape recalling a phase of a sinusoid.
• the relief 515 and the hollow 516 are planes in their part respectively 515a, and 516a. perpendicular to the large faces 510 and 511.
• Block 500 has three recesses 520, 521 and 522 because it is assumed to be larger than block 100.
• the recesses 520, 521 and 522 are separated by transverse partitions 523 and 524 which are not in the form of a broken line as is the case of the partition 123 but simply rectilinear.
• a block thus produced would be heavier, if it were made of the same material, than block 100.
• a block can be produced with an odd number (greater than one) of recesses, whether its assembly faces are of the type of FIGS. 1 to 9 or of the type of FIG. 10 and, in this case, the faces for assembling the upper blocks are plumb not with a transverse partition but with the central recess if the blocks are offset by half a length, which is the case in FIG. 5.
• This assembly is less good than that which provides for the support of the assembly faces of the upper blocks on a transverse partition.
• FIG. 10 there is an offset by thirds: on a block 500, two identical blocks are placed which join plumb with the partition 524 for example, one rests by two-thirds of its length on a block adjacent to block 500 and the other rests by a third of its length on the other block adjacent to the same block 500 and so on.
• specific blocks must be available, in particular to constitute lintels and to ensure chaining, that is to say the horizontal cohesion of the walls.
• the chaining blocks and lintels then have a bottom which closes the recesses (120, 121, 220, 320, 321, 420, 421, 520, 521, 522).
• the watertightness of a building is only real if at least one of its faces, interior and / or exterior, is completely covered with a coating: plaster, plaster, etc. Since the blocks in accordance with the invention must be assembled without a binder and having two finished faces which must not receive any coating, the problem of the building's sealing made with such blocks becomes crucial.
• Each block is of the type comprising reliefs on its upper face to form a convex assembly (or “male”) while its lower face has housings to form a concave assembly (or “female”), the reliefs of a lower block having to be capped by the housings of a block placed on the previous one.
• a convex assembly or "male”
• female concave assembly
• the reliefs of a lower block having to be capped by the housings of a block placed on the previous one.
• FIG. 13 we observe on the upper face of each block two continuous longitudinal reliefs 1 and 2 and on the lower face of each block two continuous longitudinal housings 3 and 4, the former being placed in the latter during the overlapping of the blocks.
• each of the blocks has vertical recesses, here two, 5 and 6, determining a median transverse partition 7 and two transverse end partitions 8 and 9, which externally have reliefs 10 and 11 alternated with recesses 12 and 13 for their lateral assembly.
• the heights of the reliefs 1 and 2, of the housings 3 and 4 and of the partitions 7, 8 and 9 are established so that during the superposition of the blocks, the reliefs 1 and 2 may only be approximately engaged until the bottom of the housings 3 and 4 but, on the other hand, the upper transverse partitions must rest on the lower transverse partitions, practically without play.
• the internal edges 15 and 16 of the reliefs 1 and 2 are steep, vertical, and extend lower than the upper edge 17 of the transverse partitions, so that each block has, along from its longitudinal reliefs 1 and 2, endless channels 18 and 19 determined by the internal edges 15-16, by bottoms 20-21 and, in line with the transverse partitions only, by the front faces 22 and 23 of said transverse partitions.
• the internal upper edge of the reliefs 1 and 2 is connected to the corresponding steep edge 15-16 by an inclined plane 25 and 26 respectively.
• an inclined plane 27 and 28 is provided, symmetrical to the plane 25 and to the plane 26, which gives the reliefs 1 and 2 a trapezoidal section, the planes 27 and 28 connecting to the large faces of the block by other planes 29 and 30 respectively.
• the lower housings 3 and 4 for their part, have a section coordinated with that of the reliefs 1 and 2 which they are called upon to cover. They include a bottom 31-32 and two inclined walls 33-34 and 35-36.
• the walls 33 and 34 are connected directly to the underside of the block, while the walls 35 and 36 stop a little higher, in steps 41 and 42 each formed of two walls 43-45 and 44-46, the second 45-46 ending at the lower face of the block which here has only two relatively narrow longitudinal supports (between the transverse partitions 7, 8 and 9) respectively 47 and 48 located between the wall 45 and the recesses 5 and 6 of on the one hand, between the wall 46 and the same recesses 5 and 6 on the other hand.
• the water then reaches the cavity 18-41 and falls naturally on the bottom 20, either by flowing on the plane 29, or by dripping from the face 43 of the step 41.
• the bottom 20 is bordered by the front face 22 (FIG. 11) but the water can freely flow in the channel 18, along this front face 22 as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 13 by the arrows FI, and exceed this to reach the next recess 5 or 6 into which it pours, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 12 by the arrows F2.
• the blocks are superimposed with alternating joints, that is to say that a vertical gap between two juxtaposed blocks is plumb with the middle of a lower block.
• a median partition 7 On a median partition 7, therefore rest two end partitions 8 and 9, the recess 5 then being located opposite the recess 6, which means that the vertical recesses are continuous over the entire height of the structure, subject to the chaining blocks which will be described later.
• the face 35 can advantageously be less inclined than the plane 25 so that the water has a more marked tendency to fall towards the bottom 20 than to run along the face 43.
• the invention makes it possible to produce secure and watertight constructions under the harshest weather conditions in inhabited areas of the globe and all the more so in more hospitable regions.
• chaining block because it has a bottom and no transverse partitions, to serve as a horizontal channel for poured reinforced concrete, in view of the horizontal "chaining".
• This is a classic phase of construction, which consists in reinforcing the resistance of the structure by joining the blocks horizontally at critical levels: above the doors and windows and at the top of the walls, essentially.
• Each chaining block includes a continuous bottom
• the face of the vertical channels 51 and 52 closest to the large external faces of the block is formed by the extension of the internal edge 15-16 of the reliefs 1 and 2.
• the block is here again symmetrical with respect to its average longitudinal plane PL but if one is satisfied with the cavity 18-41, it suffices to provide the channels 51 because they are intended for the evacuation of water towards the bottom of the structure. The channels 52 would then be useless.
• each block is analyzed as having a central trough 57 and external walls 53 and 54.
• the central trough 57 and the external walls 53 and 54 are made integral by vertical partitions 58 and 59 which extend respectively between the outer 53 and inner 55 walls for partitions 58 and between outer 54 and inner 56 walls for partitions 59, these partitions determining the vertical channels 51 and 52.
• These provisions are intended to ensure the flow of water from continuously, from the top of the walls to their base, despite the presence of chaining blocks, the bottom 50 of which opposes this flow in the manner described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13 for standard blocks.
• FIGS. 11 to 13 for standard blocks.
• Water therefore, is supposed * to pass over the relief 1, in particular as already described, pushed from the outside by the wind.
• This water flows along the arrows F3 along the inclined plane 25 and reaches the steep edge 15 which also constitutes the interior of the vertical channels 51.
• the water therefore, flows according to the arrows F4 through these channels 51 which are found directly above the endless channel 18 of the standard block on which the chaining block is placed.
• top of the partitions 58 and 59 is less high than the upper edge of the interior walls
• the gauge 57 receives a reinforcement and is filled with concrete up to the level of the upper edges of the walls 55 and 56, so that if water reaches these edges, it could progress, by capillarity, as indicated about the transverse partitions 7, 8 and 9 of the standard blocks.
• FIG 17 we see a standard block located at the base of a construction, according to the invention. it has been shown how the water located in a wall constructed according to the invention is automatically evacuated down the wall, without having been able to pass through it.
• a slab 60 is put in place by pouring concrete, generally in the bottom of a trench, then the first row of standard blocks is laid.
• the invention provides that under the first row blocks there is a continuous longitudinal channel 61 with which communicate perpendicular channels 62 which open out from the raft 60, on the side outside the structure, in terrain T.
• the infiltrated water trickles, flows, from the top of the structure and crosses all the blocks, whether standard or chained, and reaches the raft 60. It flows on the raft 60 and is collected by the longitudinal channel 61, then finally flows through the channels 62 to be absorbed by the terrain T.
• the invention makes it possible to produce constructions by means of assembled blocks without any binder while ensuring excellent sealing, even under difficult conditions, thanks to the particular profile of the lower and upper faces which are interpenetrate in baffles and have upper elements favoring the dripping of water above lower elements favoring them, the flow and / or the runoff towards the blocks situated lower.
