CONSTRUCTION BLOCKS
20190136518 · 2019-05-09 ·

An interlocking construction block system comprising a family of blocks that interlock along three axes, including a left/right axis, a front/back axis, and an up/down axis. The family of blocks are self-aligning and do not require skilled labor or mortar to create a structure of any length, width, height, or shape. Each block comprises a specific geometry that allows all blocks in the family to interlock in a woven pattern that not only locks the blocks in place but also allows even distribution of structural weights and stresses. The disclosed blocks can be manufactured in different sizes to conform to any building code requirement and to create wall lengths to a one-inch measurement. The blocks may comprise channel openings to allow for plumbing, electrical, and structural reinforcements in the structure and may each be reinforced with an internal mesh cage.

20240247483 · 2024-07-25 · ·

A building block and a set of modular building elements is intended for construction of foundational and wall structures. The building block comprises a plurality of outer walls, a cavity, at least one inner wall, and at least two connecting elements. The outer walls are arranged in an n-gon shape surrounding the cavity and the cavity is open on both lower and upper sides. The cavity is divided by the inner wall into at least two parts. At least one part is adapted for the insertion of an insulating insert. Each connecting element is adapted for insertion into the cavity. The first connecting element is intended for insertion into the cavity of a different one of two neighbouring building blocks of a different row than the second connecting element. Each connecting element is attached to a wall of the building block and offset from that wall in a direction towards the inside of the cavity. Each connecting element comprises a wall of the connecting element protruding from a respective wall of the building block. The wall of the connecting element comprises a free end and side edges. The side edges approach each other from a place of attachment to the wall towards the free end. An insulating layer at least partially surrounds a part of the cavity adapted for the insertion of the insulating insert. The set of modular building elements comprises foundation building blocks comprising the cavity enclosed by the solid bottom and hollow building blocks.

Dovetailed building block

Concrete Section and Method for Constructing a Wall
20180328030 · 2018-11-15 ·

A concrete section and method for constructing a wall includes first and second concrete sections identically configured and dimensioned to allow the entire concrete wall to be constructed via one concrete section design, thereby minimizing labor time and parts. The single design for all concrete sections for constructing a concrete wall is achieved by vertically offsetting corresponding and oppositely disposed first and third locking fingers; and vertically offsetting corresponding and oppositely disposed second and fourth locking fingers. First and second locking finger receiving recesses are also vertically offset to horizontally align a first recess of a second concrete section with a fourth locking finger of a first concrete section; and to horizontally align a second recess of a first concrete section with a first locking finger of a second concrete section. All horizontal alignment occurs when the bottom walls of the first and second concrete sections are coplanar orientated, thereby promoting the snug joining of a locking finger with a cooperating recess.
