Description

Multi. Use. Brick. This brick design is a different looking brick. Its shape allows it to be used for different purposes. Such a demountable wall when used as a two coarse wall. Held together by a bolt that clamps the two brick sections together as a double brick wall. That has a recessed section at a third of its length a rectangular moulded section, that forms a cavity when two brick sections come together. This spacing of 500. m. metre continues the full length of the wall. Its purpose is for the pouring of concrete to form columns. To give the walls that form this brick design great load bearing strength. As a floor. Its shape at the inside cavity section of the brick. Its tapered angles a long with locking in together at its outer edges. Of its tongue and grove section together with the floor batters 5 as the brick anchor supports. The recessed cavity moulded section is bolted to this battern also screwed to the lower batter. It is not required to mortar in the joints using a mortar gun as the brick floor is not subjected to water penetration unless used as a porch floor or a similar outside use. 20 As a roof. Its usage as a roof is the same as its usage as a floor member. May be light weight concrete would be of a better choice, as this brick weight of 10 kilos may require stronger roof support members. They require to be mortar in with a suitable grout, as each brick is placed in position. A grout gun is used to make them water tight. Expansion contraction will require the use of a caulking compound, or a metal tray with a flashing over the top face of the brick, or a metal tray with extended flashing to the tray sides. Placed in position after the gutter space for the gutter has been made.

Bricks. Joined. Together. Forming a solid wall by locking together one to another, by using the internal angles the tapered sections of the brick to butt together. These angles are match together placed in a position on top of one another. To form a solid block of concrete extending by use of the tongue and grooved sections of the bricks. This method of forming a solid concrete brick with the length of the brick sections of 500 mm is and aid in the brick laying required with stairs and garden retaining walls. So the use as a cavity wall by the placing of column ducts together. Which gives and air flow with in the brick wall. And its opposite usage of being formed into a solid brick of concrete. Are unique character of a multi use panel type brick. Plaster battens. Simply by bolting plaster battens at various spacing through bolt holes in the bricks at 500 m.m. spacing 15 between plaster battens. To secure plaster to and give a flat wall internal finish. To a single brick wall, that also allows and internal space for air or to use this space for insulation purposes. Brick piers can be formed by through bolts. Extended with extra length, being use to clamp the pier bricks against the wall bricks. As are in use in the brick wall of a garage or a fence. The 0 use of battens at regular spacing and secured with in the brick column recess doubles as a stud wall. When the grout is pumped into the vertical grout holes formed for this use, internal of the bricks, a very ridged and stable wall is formed.

3 - I r Conclusion. In the competitive world of brick manufacture. With a simple stone wall made from boulders to mud brick homes, to compressed clay fired bricks to on site concrete slab walls which require the use of cranes, to lift them into position to and unlimited amount of brick designs. It is time that another brick design named the. Multi. Use. Brick. With its different features such as two panel type bricks bolted together by a through bolt, with a recess in the face of both bricks, concealed by the face hole mortared in to form a flat external face. These bricks bolted together equal the laying of six normal clay bricks. Which equates to four bricks more than that laid by a brick layer. The brick is just rested on top of one another, no hand with a trowel required. The mortar is applied with each coarse of bricks, laid by the use of a mortar gun into the mortar core holes form with [5 in the brick from top to bottom. Its other advantages a Multi Use Brick as already mentioned previously. Wall floor roof stairs garden solid retaining walls, temporary walls called dry walls as they don't require to be mortar in are free standing held firmly together. Can be unbolted and taken apart unlike clay bricks that become rubble with removal. With its many building usages as a Multi. Use. Brick. With a brick mould for use in manufacture it gives home builders a cost saving method for self help people. This brick is and invention, because of its versatility with a very modern approach to brick laying with the multi use brick.

Figure. 1. Is a plan of A brick shape enlarge to a scale of one third of the full size brick B is the outside face the brick C bolt hole for clamping through bolt D mortar core holes for insertion of grout gun. For mortar penetration to bed joints and vertical 5 and horizontal joints of the brick. E recess grove to receive F tongue which binds bricks being placed in position together A shows column recess B brick size is 500 m.m. in length 75 m.m. from face of brick C bolt hole 100 m.m. to outside of recess. That forms a column duct space both ends of the brick are 75 m.m. in width. Figure. 2. Brick face B is the external face of the brick D is the core holes formed in the brick for mortar filling from the top of the brick F tongue to grove bottom E. /5 Figure. 3. The bonding of wall bricks shows left and right hand bricks, with the arrows pointing in opposite directions with alternate brick courses C bolt holes line up with the center column recess. That are space at 500 m.m. for the length of the wall being laid, left and right hand bricks are the result of in the mould the face of bricks B. Show that they have their external with left and right sides brought about by the bricks. Having the internal faces with angle sides, that don't want to be shown as the external brick face B. Figure. 4. Is a dry wall a wall that can be secured together by bolts G by clamping the external and internal bricks A. Compressing the two brick shapes A to form a brick wall, that by releasing of bolts G can be stack away for future usage. May be as a temporary security wall during building operations or other dry wall applicatons.

Figure. 5. 5-11 The brick wall is bolted together by bolt G permanently. Both A sections when locked together form a recess, to form concrete columns every 500 m.m. G bolt holes are at the center of these core spacers. Steel reinforcement could be inserted into the concrete column mix. The concrete columns formed at H make for a very strong load bearing wall. Which would be and aid to low weight concrete being used in the manufacture of the brick. Figure. 6. A single brick wall bonded together, mortar inserted into core holes C binding the bricks in a strong bond. Timber battens I bolted together by G to brick A. To be used as battens to secure wall plaster J to the battens. I battens also have a use as wall studs, at 500 m.m. spaces similar to wall framing in housing construction. Figure. 7. A solid block of concrete is formed with two bricks 15 resting one on top of the other. With top and bottom angle faces inter locking B faces are bonded together horizontally.-Bricks are not placed on edge as would be the case with a vertical wall, the opposing angles are of and angle to form a level surface. When placed with A shape interior sides, lock to form a solid concrete block. As shown in the figures 7- 8- 9 to form a solid 20 rectangular shape, for garden edge also as bricks for stairs. Figure. 8. Shows the use of two bricks laid together as one. Which is a lot more suitable for the forming of brick steps. The size of the bricks makes for a quicker time for the brick layer to g5 form the steps. The use of mortar applied between both surfaces of the angle taper joining them together as one B brick face would have anti slip surface. The mortar applied to both tongue and groves E and F and core through holes C binds the bricks together. As one solid concrete brick step.

Figure. 9. Another use is to form a retaining dwarf wall, as would be used in a garden edging, stepping pads paving etc. Figure. 10. Highlights the use of D grout cavity core holes in the building of a brick wall, with the multi use brick. To obtain the mortar penetration into the previous laid coarse of bricks, that have not had a bed joint of mortar. The vertical D grout cavity core holes, have the tongue section of the brick not reaching the grove it creates a space, for grout to fill this space that the tongue section of the brick does not penetrate into. The 10 reason is to have cement grout from the grout gun filling this space. To prevent any water penetration from entering the joints of the brick, which is the method used to seal the bricks that form these walls figure 11 and 12 illustrate the grove and tongue of the brick joint. Showing the space that the grout core holes D fill, with the use of the grout gun. 15 Figure. 11. Illustrate the brick joint which shows a space for filling with grout, from mortar core holes D also how grove E and tongue F lock into one and other, the tongue and grove joint with a slight tolerance for. Fitting one into the other allows for a z o mortar less fit as in a dry wall application also for a floor application. Figure. 12. Is another illustration of the tongue and grove joint E and F of the brick. On a larger scale the space left for mortar grout is more clearly defined, there are four points of entry of 5 the mortar core holes D. Along the 500 m.m. length of the brick, it allows for a good spread of mortar grout, with the use of the pressure exerted from the grout gun.

7-L1 Figure. 13. The brick because of its shape A can be used as a floor member. Supported on timber battens I bonding of the bricks is the same routine, as in a vertical wall. In its flat horizontal state is secured to battens I by bolts and screws. The end flat section of the brick is a batten placement. Bolt hole G is 5 the main batten fixing position, a third batten I at the end joint of the brick A. is to give extra batten strength if needed . Figure. 14. Is similar to floor section 13 the only difference is that they follow the pitch of the roof. That they are being used to cover the core cavity holes D require to be filled with grout, with each coarse of bricks laid. To make them water proof as each course of bricks is placed in there positions. The pressure exerted, by the grout pump to brick A being filled by the grout pump. Figure. 15. Shows D with the grout gun internal of it, pumping grout into the previous course of bricks laid, it is continued until 15 the completion of the roof coverage, with the multi use brick. Figure. 16. Left and right sided brick if the brick did not have the inside brick shape A was a solid block. With both sides the same and no opposite sides, with angles conformed to a normal clay brick, that has normal flat surfaces. The mould of similar shaped bricks such as the shape of A. Would not require a left brick and a right hand brick. The brick course arrows at H and G the shorter space end, which is the small end of the brick. Being the one third of its length indicate the direction that the bricks are being laid. The alternate course of bricks in figure 17 travel in the opposite direction, the small end shown with the arrows pointing in the opposite direction. The brick moulds are designed to cope with a left and right hand bricks.
