Abstract

The present invention relates to bricks for sidewalk that can increase the flatness when constructing the bricks for sidewalk, and can prevent a plant such as weeds from growing upwardly from the surface of the land. A plurality of bricks for sidewalk 1 are alternately formed up and down so that they are supported between the alternating brick bodies 2. Therefore, the bricks for sidewalk can be easily constructed while maintaining the flatness. A junction between the surface of the land 5 and the bricks for sidewalk 1 is formed go missing dually. It is thus possible to prohibit weeds from growing.

Description

BLOCK OF FOOTPATH

Technical Field

The present invention relates to bricks for sidewalk

constructed on various pedestrian sidewalks being urban base

facilities or the ground of stadium facilities. More particularly,

the present invention relates to bricks for sidewalk that can

increase the flatness upon construction of the bricks for sidewalk

and can prevent a plant such as weeds from growing upwardly from

the surface of the land.

Background Art

Conventionally, bricks for sidewalk are used to pave

pedestrian sidewalks such as the housing complex, public squares,

parks, parking lots and the like in the cities. These bricks for

sidewalk mainly include rectangular parallelepiped bricks for

sidewalk, and bricks for sidewalk having ruggedness portions formed

at both ends.

If theses bricks for sidewalk are constructed, respective

bricks go amiss even though the surface of the land is flat. Thus,

there is a problem that the entire bricks become irregular.

Furthermore, in case where those bricks for sidewalk are used, gaps l in the junctions are formed vertically to the surface of the land.

Weeds grow among the gaps, which spoils the beauty of the cities.

Furthermore, the conventional rectangular parallelepiped

bricks for sidewalk or the bricks for sidewalk having ruggedness

portions formed at both ends have the same pattern. Thus, in order

to increase beauty, additional bricks having different coloring and

design have to be used. This increases the manufacturing cost and

makes it difficult to construct the bricks. For this reason, most

of the bricks for sidewalk have the same pattern. This makes

pedestrians get sick of the pattern.

Disclosure of Invention

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of

the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to

provide bricks for sidewalk wherein projections of various shapes

coincident with a body are integrally formed on a brick body for

sidewalk, whereby various patterns are represented even with bricks

having a single design, weeds are prevented from growing from the

surface of the land, and the flatness is maintained upon

construction of the bricks for sidewalk.

The present invention will now be described in detail in

connection with preferred embodiments with reference to the

accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing bricks for sidewalk

according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a

cross-sectional view showing bricks for sidewalk according to an

embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3a is plane and front

views showing bricks for sidewalk according to an embodiment of the

present invention and FIG. 3b is a plane view showing some of the

pedestrian sidewalk consisting of bricks for sidewalk shown in FIG.

3a.

The present invention relates to bricks for sidewalk 1

constructed on the pedestrian sidewalks or the ground of sidewalks

within a construction. According to he present invention, in

forming the bricks for sidewalk 1, a projection 3 of a various

shape is integrally formed on a hexahedral brick body 2. Spaces 4

of volume V being the same as volume V of 1/4 of the projections

3 are then formed in four edge directions on the plane of the brick

body 2. Each projection 3 is thus coincident with each brick body

If the projection 3 is formed in a square pillar or a hexahedral shape as shown in FIG. 3a to FIG. 3b, volume of each of

the four spaces in the brick body 2 is volume of 1/4 of the

projection 3. In FIG. 4a to FIG. 6b, volume of the spaces 4 in the

brick body 2 can have a 1/4 volume of the projection.

Unexplained reference numeral 5 indicates the surface of the

land on which the bricks for sidewalk 1 are constructed.

If the bricks for sidewalk 1 are constructed on the surface

of the land 5, the projection 3 is upwardly constructed from the

surface of the land 5 in a plurality of the bricks for sidewalk 1.

At this time, one sides of the brick body 2 are contacting one

another and the projection 3 of the brick for sidewalk 1 is

inserted into the spaces 4 formed between neighboring brick bodies

2.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, four bricks for sidewalk 1 are

first laid on the surface of the land 5. The bricks for sidewalk 1

are turned over in the spaces 4 in which the bricks for sidewalk 1

are formed (four spaces 4 in the brick body 2 face one another) so

that the projection 3 is downwardly inserted.

This can be expressed into the following Equation.

(space volume) V'X4 = (volume of the entire projection) =

(1/4 volume of projection) V^*X4

•^•■ V = V

At this time, though the projection 3 has a different shape, the spaces 4 of the brick body 2 are always coincident with the

projection 3. This facilitates its construction. Though the

pedestrian sidewalks are constructed using only the bricks for

sidewalk 1 having the same shape, two or more patterns can be

represented entirely, as shown in FIG. 3b, 4b, 5b and 6b. Graceful

beauty is obtained.

Furthermore, the junction between the surface of the land 5

and the bricks for sidewalk 1 is not seen as a straight line unlike

the conventional bricks for sidewalk, but is formed going amiss up

and down. Accordingly, weeds cannot grow out of the upper side of

the bricks for sidewalk 1 from the surface of the land 5.

Industrial Applicability

According to the present invention described above, the

junction between the surface of the land and the brick for sidewalk

is formed going miss dually. The growth of weeds, etc. is

prohibited and two designs (a design of a brick body and a design

of a projection) are represented in the pedestrian sidewalk using a

single brick for sidewalk 1. It is thus possible to make beauty of

cities graceful and the brick for sidewalk long.

Furthermore, a projection of a plurality of bricks for

sidewalk is upwardly constructed on the surface of the land. The

projections of the bricks for sidewalk are reciprocally formed so that they are inserted into the spaces 4 formed between the brick

bodies. The projections are supported between the alternating brick

bodies in parallel. Therefore, the present invention has effects

that bricks for sidewalk can be easily constructed and the flatness

can be maintained.

While the present invention has been described with reference

to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be

restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It

is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or

modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit

of the present invention.

Claims

What Is Claimed Is:

1. Functional bricks for sidewalk 1 that are constructed on

various pedestrian sidewalks or the bottom of stadium facilities,

wherein projections 3 of various shapes are integrally formed on a

hexahedral brick body 2, and spaces 4 of volume V being the same

as a 1/4 volume of the projections 3 are formed in four edge

directions on the plane of the brick body 2, whereby the

projections 3 and one brick body 2 are coincident with one another.
