Applicant: PANDIAN CHELLAPANDIAN

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention is related to construction, particularly, constructional blocks useful in the construction of various structures. More particularly, it relates to constructional interlocking blocks having wedges useful in construction of walls, building using various materials such as tiles, glass, granite stones, Ac sheets etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The cement hollow blocks are famous in the construction industry because of the benefits and maintenance. These blocks are environmentally safe, low cost and durable. There are so many inventions related to the same.

In US 3,292,331, A wall construction for buildings comprising, a plurality of preformed blocks, each block having a ’central, vertically disposed passage extending therethrough; T- shaped slots in the end walls of each block; longitudinally disposed passages in said blocks adjacent the inner and relation, and vertically disposed, reinforcing means provided in said vertically disposed passages to form a rigid wall.

In US 6,588,168 B2herein are blocks useful in the construction of walls and other structures. The blocks include in their design features which render them to be interlocking, and which provide for a wall constructed from the blocks to include a plurality of horizontal and vertical channels that are adapted to receive reinforcing rods (“rebar”). Once a two-dimensional network of rebar is disposed in the interior of such a wall constructed from blocks according to a preferred form of the invention, a castable concrete may be poured into the wall and caused to exist in the spaces between the rebar and the blocks of the invention. By such construction, a wall comprising concrete in its interior that is reinforced in two dimensions is provided, wherein reinforcement in the third dimension is provided by the interlocking feature of the tops and bottom portions of blocks in adjacent rows with one another.

In I N253/CH E/2004, relates to manufacturing of interlocking blocks made with male and female grooves capable of fitting into each other on top, bottom, front and back sides facilitating construction of walls by putting the blocks one by one vertically and open after another horizontally using industry wastes like dyeing sludge, fly ash, quarry dust, gypsum with bonding materials like cement, lime and pediproof forming a mixture and subjecting it to a pressure 150 to 200 kgs percm in a prefabricated mould with interlocking male and female grooves capable of used for constructing walls in buildings without using cement, sand and water.

In WO 2006/111106 A2, the Soloarmar construction system comprising an original wall construction method, in which the cavities in the blocks are precisely aligned in the vertical axis. According to the invention, the blocks are assembled using an inner engagement device such that resistant masonry can be produced quickly and specially adapted for clay or concrete blocks using specific industrial templates, machines, nozzles and dies designed by Soloarmar. The appearance and characteristics obtained are similar to those obtained with standard masonry techniques, but with the mixture only being used to lay the first course instead of between all of the blocks.

In US2005/0083551A1 laminate floor with custom images and a method for making the same are disclosed. The individual planks that make up the laminate floor each contain a base layer, a backing layer, an impact layer, a design layer, and a protective layer, which are laminated together, and have tongues and corresponding grooves in the sides of each plank. The design layer of each individual plank is made of a paper substrate and has a distinct section of an image printed on it. The laminate floor is then created by assembling the planks in a predetermined order and alignment to recreate the image on the floor. To create the laminate floor, an image is selected and digitized. The digitized image is then formatted to the. dimensions of the flooring area desired, enhanced to a desired quality level, and segmented into distinct sections so that each section will fit on a plank. A digital layout is then created by aligning all of the sections so that they fit on a piece of base material, with spaces left between the section to account for later cutting and machining operations, and the digital layout is printed. The printed digital layout is then used as the design layer on a laminate flooring sheet, the laminate flooring sheet is cut into individual planks, and tongues and grooves are machined into the planks. The planks are then assembled in a predetermined order and alignment to create the laminate floor with the image.

In US 7,051483 B2, A concrete laminate panel (1) comprising a sealant layer (2), a first layer of concrete (4), a second layer of concrete (6), and a backing board (8). The sealant layer (2) is a transparent, wear-resistant material. Such as a urethane material. The sealant layer (2) provides a waterproof and alcohol-resistant layer with excellent wear properties, both in a dry and a wet condition, plus an ultraviolet filter to prevent yellowing. A two-stage, two-part polyurethane material comprises these properties, and we have found this material to be particularly useful as a sealant layer. The transparent nature of the sealant layer (2) allows the uppermost surface of the first layer of concrete (4) to be viewed there through. The urethane material contains an anti-microbial additive that will inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, molds, mildew, and algae. The first layer of concrete (4) provides a viewable thin, hardened, and decorative surface. The first layer of concrete (4) is wet bonded and cross-cured to the second layer of concrete (6). The second layer of concrete (6) comprises a fiber-reinforced concrete material and provides improved tensile strength for the laminate concrete panel (1 ). The backing board (8) may be any suitable fibrous board, such as MDF. The backing board (8) is bonded to the second layer of concrete (6).

In US 4,470,357, An improved laminated panel construction for use in the construction of vaults in existing building structures, including outer laminae of steel sheeting with inner laminae of a dense hard wood such as oak, carbide abrasive, and concrete aggregate. The laminate is formed by bonding with epoxy adhesives in which the abrasive in particulate form has been suspended. Certain of the laminae are separated by lengths of metal forming a channel to form an interstice which is filled with the concrete aggregate after formation. The panels are formed with lap joints for assembly, the lap joints being covered with metal batten strips welded to the exposed surfaces of the outermost laminate.

But the above prior arts fail to execute the constructional blocks without plastering and painting, water, sand, bricks, reducing the construction period, reducing construction cost and labor cost and further, increasing the strength of the building.
