20230022278 · 2023-01-26 · ·

A masonry block set is disclosed that includes a first block having a first rectangular body and a first rectangular protrusion from a front face of the first rectangular body. A second block has a second rectangular body and a second rectangular protrusion from a front face of the second rectangular body. The first block and the second block can be combined to form a nested block pair where a front face of the first rectangular protrusion abuts the front face of the second rectangular body and a front face of the second rectangular protrusion abuts the front face of the first rectangular body.

A polyurethane foam block can include a base having a plurality of recesses and a top surface having a plurality of connective components protruding outward from the top surface where each connective component of the plurality of connective components can align with a recess of the plurality of recesses. The polyurethane foam block can include a plurality of sidewalls extending upward from the base and defining an interior and a plurality of partitions extending from the base to the top surface to divide the block into a plurality of cavities. A wall can include base blocks and header blocks. The header blocks can be shaped and constructed similarly to the base blocks with one exception being the header blocks can include an-upward facing channel cutout. The wall can include a beam extending through channels of header blocks.

Spliced Wall Panel
20230120217 · 2023-04-20 ·

A spliced wall panel comprises at least one layer of frame bodies stacked in sequence; the frame body is formed by splicing several boards sequentially, and buckles are provided at the joint of adjacent boards; inclined structures are oppositely arranged on both sides of the board, and a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove that fit each other are formed on the oppositely arranged inclined structures respectively; a horizontal mounting groove is formed on the top of the inner wall of the board, and a mating groove matching the mounting groove is formed on the outer wall at the bottom of the board; fitting blocks that match the buckles are formed on both sides of the outer wall of the board. The frame structure formed from multiple boards meets the requirements of the wall panel and can be stacked into a multi-layer frame structure based on actual needs.

The Alphacube invention is a collection of modular shapes that form cubes, each letter of the alphabet and that are a twisty cube puzzle that can be solved for each letter of the alphabet. The pieces can both build structures and communicate verbal messages. They are a toy, puzzle, and an educational tool to teach literacy in a fun and engaging way. The pieces can also be assembled into artistic shapes or into basic shapes that describe animals and simple things like a small hole on a flat surface.

MASONRY WALL ASSEMBLY
20170247879 · 2017-08-31 ·

Various implementations are directed to a single face building block and masonry wall assembly and methods. Each building block includes a single face shell, first and second webs extending from an interior surface of the face shell, and a pier that has a proximal surface disposed between distal ends of the webs and a distal surface that is opposite and spaced apart from the proximal surface of the pier. Interior surfaces of the webs, the proximal surface of the pier, and a portion of the interior surface of the face shell between the webs define a pocket. In addition, the building blocks may include a ledge that extends outwardly from the distal surface of the pier. This ledge forms a channel with an upper surface of the pier stacked above the block.

SYSTEM FOR WALL CONSTRUCTION
20220307258 · 2022-09-29 · ·

A kit and system for constructing structures including at least one core block, at least one fascia block that connects to the core block by mounting a shelf that extends from a face of the core block with a cut-out section of a face of the fascia block, such that the face of the core block and the face of the fascia block form a gap therein between.

SELF-REINFORCED MASONRY BLOCKS, WALLS MADE FROM SELF-REINFORCED MASONRY BLOCKS, AND METHOD FOR MAKING SELF-REINFORCED MASONRY BLOCKS

A self-reinforced masonry block comprises a main body having opposed substantially parallel stacking surfaces and at least one tubular cell defined therethrough from one stacking surface to the other. At least one confining reinforcement is embedded in the main body to surrounding a corresponding cell. Each confining reinforcement extends substantially entirely along the longitudinal length of its corresponding cell and terminates inwardly of the stacking surfaces. The self-reinforced masonry blocks may be used in construction of a grout-filled, vertically reinforced masonry block wall, with the self-reinforced masonry blocks being used for those portions of the wall where the grouted cells are prone to crushing due to high levels of compressive stress, and conventional unreinforced masonry blocks being used for other portions of the wall. A method for making the self-reinforced masonry blocks is also described.

Modular wall block, interlocking block assembly, and retaining wall constructed of an assembly of modular wall blocks

A modular wall block is adapted for being assembled together with a number of other blocks in stacked courses to form a retaining wall. First and second spaced apart formations are located at a rear of the block body and define therebetween a vertical fastener channel. The vertical fastener channel is adapted for receiving a complementary shaped formation of a rearwardly placed embedment block.
