Precision dry-stack masonry unit
11066827 · 2021-07-20 · ·

The present invention generally relates to a precision dry-stack masonry unit made of two spaced-apart face shells and at least one connector joining the face shells. The connector has a top surface, a right surface and a left surface. The top surface of the connector and the face shells form a horizontal channel above the connector, and the right surface and the left surface of the connector and the face shells form vertical channels to each side of the connector. Each of the channels is configured to accommodate one or more reinforcement bars.

Modular wall panels and system
11085182 · 2021-08-10 · ·

Modular wall panels having a frame of a plurality of frame components and at least one wall sheet affixed to the frame. Frame component may have angled ends, straight ends, or a combination thereof. Each end of the frame components may have at least one fastener or at least one corresponding receiver to selectively connect adjacent frame components end on end in forming a frame, including corners. Frames can thus be assembled in the field and are fully customizable. A hub may be utilized with multiple sides having fastener(s) or receiver(s) to interconnect frame components. A wall system includes a plurality of such wall panels connected to one another along the outer surfaces of the frame components of their respective frames.

Masonry block for in situ insulation application
11091911 · 2021-08-17 ·

A masonry unit may include a main portion having end surfaces, a primary side surface, and a secondary side surface, and an auxiliary portion positioned adjacent to the main portion and defining an auxiliary void. The auxiliary portion may be connected to the main portion at the secondary side surface. The auxiliary portion may include an auxiliary wall being spaced from the secondary side surface to define the auxiliary void therebetween, and at least one bridging web extending across the auxiliary void and connecting the auxiliary wall to the main portion, the at least one bridging web being inset from the opposite ends of the unit, the at least one bridging web being integrally formed with the main portion and the auxiliary wall. The auxiliary void may extend from one end to another end of the unit and may extend from the top to the bottom of the unit.

Set of modular timber hollow bricks with thermal insulation properties
10941571 · 2021-03-09 · ·

The set of modular timber hollow bricks with thermal insulation properties includes wooden hollow bricks, marked as A and B which have a box structure. Hollow brick A and corner hollow brick B include two boards connected by crossbars in such a way, that they form a peripheral socket on the inside for a connection with the connector. The corner hollow brick B also has a connector on the side surface of the board. Each hollow brick has a circumferential socket, the size of which corresponds to half the thickness of the connector. The corner hollow brick B has a notch on the lateral surface. The hollow brick A and corner hollow brick B have each an additional reinforcing bar inside. The socket is filled with sealing foam before assembly.

This invention involves three masonry units that can aid in materializing masonry construction of better quality. The masonry units include the CMH-4, the CVMH-8 and the SNH-4. The CMH-4 includes cells that permit interior wall cavities that can help include larger piping inside walls as well as horizontal piping for sanitary ventilation without losing the traditional way of installing CMU's or interrupting the typical and usually recommended running bond. The CVMH-8 permits the cutting of the unit in different shapes, of which one can be used as framework. The SNH-4 is a concrete unit that can be used as a planting wall, that aids in openings without windows or doors and that is compatible in dimensions with other CMU's. The three units are compatible with existing masonry units, permitting their mixed use according to design needs.
