Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Applicant(s): TONY J AZAR Invention Title: CONCRETE BUILDING BLOCKS The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: CONCRETE BUILDING BLOCKS Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of building blocks, in particular concrete building blocks. The present invention provides a novel dry stack building block, in a stretcher embodiment, and a corner embodiment.
Background of the Invention Building blocks, in particular concrete building blocks, are used extensively in the construction of walls, 0.1c both below grade in the case of foundation walls, and above grade, in the case of structural walls. Concrete blocks generally have hollow cores, planar, rectangular faces, and rectangular ends and upper and lower surfaces. They are ordinarily stacked in a stretching bond: pattern, with mortar between each course of blocks, and between each block in a S"course. As required, rebar may be inserted in the cores of the blocks, after stacking, and the cores may be filled with concrete. There have, moreover, been attempts to develop concrete blocks with dry stacking capability. For instance, in U.S. Patent No. 5,230,194 to McClure, a block is described with front and back faces that are offset slightly from the upper and lower surfaces, and the ends of the block. This feature permits the blocks to be dry stacked and interlocked. However, no satisfactory means for forming a corner is disclosed by McClure, who instead discloses an L-shaped corner suitable for one-way, right or left usage.
In U.S. Patent No. 4,597,236 (Braxton), a dry-stack block is disclosed that relies on the use of spines insertable between blocks in a stacked wall. Braxton discloses corners constructed from blocks that are smaller than the remaining blocks in this system, and which do not permit the use of a stretcher bond pattern of block laying.
1*c In view of the foregoing, the object of the present invention is to provide a novel dry stacking, interlocking concrete block that has a stretcher and corner embodiment of similar overall dimensions. Such a block can be utilized to dry stack a wall, with such corners as are desired by the builder rather than dictated by the block, in the ""traditional strong stretcher bond pattern of block laying.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a dry stack block that is provided with a surface that is grooved to permit fast and efficient drainage from the faces thereof.
-2- 3 According to the present invention there is provided interfitting building blocks for wall construction, including straight stretcher blocks for constructing courses, and corner blocks, each said stretcher block comprising a building block having opposite first and second ends and comprising first and second substantially congruent rectangular side panels extending between said ends of said block, said panels being joined together by at least one web extending transverse to said panels, said panels each having vertical end edges at the respective first and second ends of the building block, the end edges being notched to interfit with end edges of panels of an adjacent block in a vertical joint therewith, the notches *o.
being vertically extending on the respective end edges and 15 being disposed such that at the first end of said block, i the notch of the first panel is on an inside corner and the notch on the second panel is on an outside corner, and such that at the second end of said block, the notch on the first panel is on an outside corner and the notch on 20 the second panel is on an inside corner, each said panel including a lower edge and an outer surface; the lower edge of each panel being provided with a downwardly projecting lip substantially adjacent said outer surface, said block further having an upper side, portions of said upper side of said block being spaced inwardly from said outer surface of said panels projecting upwardly, whereby one said block laid on another said block will interfit therewith each said corner block having opposed first and second ends and comprising spaced apart first and second substantially congruent rectangular side panels, each said RA side panel having an outer surface, an end panel joining said side panels at the first end of said corner block, W and a web extending between said side panels spaced H:\HelenF\Keep\speci\47628.97SPFC[.doc 12/06/01 3A inwardly from the second end of said block, the end edges of said side panels adjacent said web being notched to interfit with the end edges of a said stretcher block in a vertical joint therewith, one said side panel being provided on its outer surface with a pair of vertically extending grooves spaced apart so as to interfit with the end edges of said first end of a said stretcher block, and the opposed side panel being provided on its outer surface with a pair of vertically extending grooves spaced apart so as to interfit with the end edges of the second end of one said stretcher block, whereby a T-shaped construction, S" with a flush outer surface, can be formed with a corner S*o: block and a pair of stretcher blocks interfit with the corner block at right angles thereto, each said side panel of a said corner block having a lower edge, the lower edge of each said side panel being provided with a downwardly projecting lip substantially adjacent the outer surface, said lip of each said side panel being notched adjacent the end panel and at a point inwardly thereof 20 corresponding to the width of one said block, said corner :block also having an upper side, portions of said upper side of said corner block spaced inwardly from said outer surface of each said side panel projecting upwardly, to interfit with the notches in the lips of the lower edges of the side panels of another of said corner blocks when a pair of the corner blocks are laid on one another at right angles.

separated from the corner to better shown the joints between the stretchers and corner blocks.
Detailed Description .Referring now to Figure 1 6, the basic concrete stretcher block 1 according to the present invention is illustrated. It comprises a front face 2, and rear face 3, which are substantially identical and interchangeable. The faces 2,3 are provided on their surfaces with grooves 4 that extend vertically, and serve to channel water from the face -4of the blocks. The presence of grooves 4 is especially important for sub-grade applications, in which fill has been compacted against the exposed face of the blocks.
The faces 2,3 are joined together by webs 5, each of which has a broad outer ends 6 that taper inwardly to a narrower central portion 7. The thickened outer ends 6 of the webs 5 provide increased stability for the blocks during curing, while the narrower central portions of the webs advantageously permit the blocks to be lightened in weight, "ewhile providing adequate support during curing. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, it will also be noted that the central portion of the web is provided with a shallow channel 8 along its upper and lower surfaces. The purpose of these channels is to permit concrete that is poured into the 5interior of a wall constructed with the blocks of the present invention to flow between the blocks, and thereby lock adjoining blocks together securely upon curing.
As best illustrated in Figures 1, 5 and 6, the front and rear faces 2,3 of the blocks protrude downwardly slightly from the lower surface 9 of the webs 5. The upper surface 10 of the webs 5 and the adjoining body 11 of the block extend upwardly slightly from the faces 2,3 of the block, in a complementary shape, to permit a stretcher 1 to interlock with another stretcher along the upper and lower surfaces thereof.
Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, it will be seen that the ends of the stretcher block of the present invention are provided with offset square notches 12. By the term "offset" is meant that the notch 12 on one face of an end will be on the outside of the block face, while the notch on the other face of the same end will be on the inside of the block face, as can be seen in Figure 2 or 3. By offsetting such notches 12, any two stretchers may be placed in adjoining relation, without orienting either face 2,3 of the block in a particular direction. The notches also serve to interlock the stretcher blocks with the corner blocks, as will be explained below.
With reference to Figures 7 13, the present invention provide a corner block 13, for use with the stretcher block of the present invention. The corner block 13 has side faces 14, 15 corresponding to the front and rear faces 2,3 of the stretcher. The side faces of the corner block are provided with grooves 4 similar to the grooves on the stretchers 1. Moreover, squared notches 16 are also formed in the side faces 14, 15 of the corner block, spaced apart so as to interfit with the notches ends of the stretchers, -6as can be seen in Figures 14 and 15. It will be noted, moreover, that the notches 16 formed in one face of the corner block are offset relative to the notches formed in the other face. This arrangement permits a stretcher 1 to be interfit with a corner block on either side of same, whereby T junctions can be formed, as shown in Figure Also, with this arrangement it is not necessary to provide a different block for right and left corners, also as illustrated in Figure Directly beneath each notch 16, in the vertical face of the corner block is formed a notch 17, the function of which is to permit corner blocks to be stacked vertically at right angles to one another in a chimney bond pattern, to form the corner of a wall.
The ends of the corner blocks 13 are notched in ,a S" manner similar to the stretcher blocks 1, to permit interfit therewith.
The blocks of the present invention may be fabricated from any suitable concrete, as will be a matter of choice for one skilled in the art. A suitable concrete mix is as set out below: -7- 8 CONCRETE MIX DESIGN ~5 SAND 1010 KG Source "E E McLaughlin Ltd."
