Wall-building element system comprising sole elements, basic wall-building elements adapted to be assembled to a wall, and beams adapted to be fitted between each horizontal layer of the basic wall-building elements. The basic wall-building elements are prefabricated with a central, load bearing core member and form-stable layers of thermal insulation on both sides thereof. The core member and the thermal insulation layers are mutually adapted in a tongue-and-groove system while the beams are made in an “H”-profile corresponding thereto. The core member typically consists of a plate-shaped main body provided with laterally extending, vertically oriented ribs.

This invention relates to the building art, and more particularly to blocks for the construction of buildings, structures, and hardscaping items, and to a method for assembling building blocks without using mortar. A building block, configured as a parallelepiped, comprises three pairs of opposing faces, including four lateral faces and two faces constituting an upper and a lower bases, each of the faces including a plurality of elements constituting projections and recesses, wherein each of the elements is shaped as a regular pyramid with rounded edges, and the pyramid vertex angle between two opposing faces is within the range from 90 to 179.9 degrees. The projections and recesses are arranged in rows and columns, wherein the pyramid bases at each of the parallelepiped faces are arranged in a single plane which is a face of the parallelepiped, and the respective sides of the pyramid bases are parallel to the parallelepiped faces, wherein the sides of the base of a pyramid that constitutes a projection are adjacent to the respective sides of the bases of adjoining pyramids that constitute the recesses. Projections and recesses at the block faces enable coupling of four blocks, three of which having paired adjacent faces that are perpendicular to each other and in contact at the edges. Also described are various embodiments of the block and of a method for assembling building blocks.

A rectangular block having a front surface, a rear surface, a bottom surface, a top surface defined by a pair of lengthwise edges and a pair of side edges connecting the lengthwise edges, the rectangular block including: a first channel disposed along a left side surface, the first channel extending in a direction from the front surface to the rear surface; and a second channel along a plane parallel to the left side surface, the plane disposed at an offset distance from the left side surface, the second channel extending in a direction from the front surface to the rear surface, wherein the left side surface is configured to be positionable so as to mate with a left side surface of an adjacently disposed block to form a full channel to receive a rebar, whereby walls are constructible from a plurality of such blocks.

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an interlocking, interchangeable wall system allowing for the formation of a plurality of form structures. Each parallel sidewall is embedded with stones or other materials into a composition base on one side. On the opposite side, the sidewalls are embedded with metal lathing and hardware to connect to bracing which connects to the opposing sidewall to form a plurality of structures, including an interlocking block system. Each sidewall interlocks with the panel or block next to it. When connected, the resulting interlocking composite blocks may be used in the construction of walls or other structures. The resulting sidewalls may be used in the decoration of existing construction or other structures. The present invention provides a significant improvement in labor and customization of structures.

Modular building methods and systems using lightweight modular panels, and specially configured transition panels for transitioning from wall to floor, or from wall to roof. Identically configured standard panels are used for constructing the walls, floor, and roof, with transitions from one structure to the next (e.g., wall to floor, or wall to roof). Each of the variously configured panel types includes channels (e.g., 2 pair of channels) formed through the length of the foam body, where the channels are configured to receive splines (e.g., flanges of an I-beam) therein. In the standard panel, the channels may include pairs of top and bottom channels, with the channels offset towards the respective panel major faces. In the transition panels, the channels may be similarly configured, but positioned differently to make the appropriate transition. The splines are connected to a frame, which acts as a template and transfers loads to a foundation.

A mortarless block system for forming walls from blocks which are stackable in sequential rows upon each other. Upper rows of blocks positioned upon lower rows are securable by positioning of support rods through aligned passages thereof. The passages extend between upper and lower notches in each respective block. The support rods are engaged to connectors which are sized to fit completely within the notches to thereby leave the upper and lower surfaces of each lower row flush to stacking overhead rows thereon.

An insulated block includes two sides and a self-adhering foam core joined to the two sides during the curing of the foam core. The foam core includes protrusions and recessions to facilitate joining of each insulated block with another insulated block. The insulated block is configured to be joined to other insulated blocks to create a structure or foundation which does not require mortar.

A construction module for constructing a structure, including an elongate member having a substantially L-shaped cross-section provided with connecting portions arranged to detachably attach with connecting portions on second and further construction modules, to form structure. A temporary structure can be formed from two or more of the construction modules. The structure may be temporary, semi-permanent or permanent.

An improved anchor apparatus and method consisting of a hanger configured for connection with a surface where the hanger has a length with a first end and a second end and an anchor in the hanger where the anchor is connected with the hanger along a first part of the anchor and where the anchor is releasably connected with the hanger along a second part of the anchor such that when the second part is disconnected from the hanger the second part of the anchor extends away from the surface of the hanger.
