Definitions
- the present invention relates to building elements allowing dry mounting of retaining walls.
- the elements have the overall shape of a parallelepiped rectangle and have means which allow tilting variable retaining walls depending on the thrust of the slope or the aesthetic effect that one wants to obtain.
- the document FR-A-2,621,629 relates to a device allowing to block bushels between them to prevent their sliding between them in a horizontal row and between stacked rows as well as to allow possible installation of reinforcements. It consists of vertical profile grooves triangular on two or four lateral faces, notches triangular on all or part of the two or four edges higher and / or lower. These notches are also used for setting the slope for the embankment; holes in them side walls for the possible passage of reinforcements horizontal. These three devices can be used in combination between them or separately.
- WO-A-91.14833 relates to construction elements intended to retain a mass of soil.
- the building element includes a front panel as well as a plurality of projecting arms.
- Said front panel has front and back walls, side walls as well as walls upper and lower. Arms extend from the wall back of the front panel and each arm has a wall upper, a lower wall, a rear wall as well as side walls.
- the upper and lower walls of these arms each have crenellated contacting configurations intended to facilitate the stacking of at least part of the arm protruding from a building element, on at least part of the protruding arm of another building element and intended for prevent a relative sliding movement between the elements of construction.
- the first document cited does not allow lateral abutment of two neighboring building elements in a coplanar manner. During a classic abutment, there will be a gap between the upper notches of each of the adjacent elements, so that it it will be impossible to lay, above these two elements, another element.
- the second document proposes elements which have no side faces which can be placed side by side and in contact. Generally, this type of element allows an overlap between the elements with empty spaces filled by the sustained slope.
- the present invention provides building elements which can be brought into contact with each other laterally and whose different rows placed above are adjustable in depth, so that the inclination of the wall support is adjustable.
- Document US-A-4,860,505 proposes a suitable building block to be positioned in the middle of other identical blocks, which comprises a substantially parallelepipedic body having front, back, top and bottom, as well as two side faces.

These grooves are of section constant V-shaped or trapezoidal and spaced at regular distance from each other on this whole face.
- the upper face of the block has at least two tongues parallel to the grooves and shaped complementary, the tabs can be inserted in some grooves.
- the present invention proposes, unlike this document, much simpler building elements since the number of grooves and tongues is much more reduced. Only one tongue is sufficient on the underside of the block, which allows a maximum horizontal contact surface, and two grooves allow for at least two positions of wall tilt adjustment. In addition, the presence on the face upper of a minimum of grooves allows, at the level of a row building elements in the upper position not covered, to have a minimum of water retention concavities and trash; it follows that the elements according to the invention better withstand contrasting climatic regions and have a longer service life. Finally, revegetation of the blocks according to US-A-4,860,505 is not provided.
- the document FR-A-2.675.835 aims at an element the body is generally parallelepiped, elongated along an axis longitudinal and twice the length desired for construction. Median transverse grooves precut are provided on the two opposite main faces, which also include transverse ribs of positioning. The fracture of the block into two parts makes irregular faces giving the appearance of stone. The fracture is facilitated by the presence of certain transverse ribs of positioning.
- a building element for dry mounting retaining walls or the like, substantially shaped rectangular parallelepiped, which has, on the face upper, at least two grooves, and on the lower face, at least one tongue, and whose side faces are smooth and can be butted, so that the front and back sides construction elements are coplanar and that the tabs, as well as the grooves, are placed in the extension of each other, so that certain grooves of the upper faces of the elements forming a lower row allow the nesting of certain tabs of a row upper and adjacent, is characterized by the fact that the number of grooves on the upper side is more important than the number of tabs on the underside, so that the position of the tabs of a row of elements, placed in upper position relative to the grooves of a row elements, placed in the lower position, can be selected by depending on the inclination that we want to give or not to the wall of support, that each element has at least one space downstream which authorizes revegetation, and that the tongues and grooves have a cross section semi

- Tabs and grooves have a cross section semi-circular in shape.
- Tabs and grooves are parallel to each other and also in relation to the front and rear faces of each element where they are located.
- the element At the level of the fracture zone, the element has a groove on its upper face and a groove on the face lower, which facilitates the fracture of the element.
- Figure 1 shows a building element for profile.
- FIG. 2 shows a front view along F of the figure 1.
- Figure 3 shows the same element as in Figure 1, under the same angle but after the building element has been split in two according to a fracture zone.

- the elements of construction 1 are of substantially parallelepiped shape rectangle. They are also characterized by the fact that they have an upper face and a lower face, each of these faces respectively receiving grooves 3 and tabs 4. Conversely, the lateral faces 5 of the elements 1 are smooth and can be easily butted together others, which makes it possible to have front 6 and rear 7 faces said building elements 1 which are coplanar.
- This arrangement allows certain grooves 3 of the faces elements 1, forming a lower row of receive the tabs 4 of an upper and adjacent row of elements 1.
- the number of grooves 3, carried by the upper face, is necessarily greater than the number of tabs 4 of the underside, this to allow the tabs 4 to have a significant number of positions within grooves 3 of the adjacent row of elements 1.
- the number of grooves 3 is ten on each element 1 shown in the figures, while the number of tabs 4 is six.
- the construction elements 1 therefore necessarily have at at least one tongue 4 and at least two grooves 3. This allows therefore to have at least two possible combinations at the level of Wall.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention a trait à des éléments de construction permettant de monter à sec des murs de soutènement.The present invention relates to building elements allowing dry mounting of retaining walls.
Les éléments ont la forme globale d'un parallélépipède rectangle et possèdent des moyens qui autorisent une inclinaison variable des murs de soutènement en fonction de la poussée du talus ou de l'effet esthétique que l'on veut obtenir.The elements have the overall shape of a parallelepiped rectangle and have means which allow tilting variable retaining walls depending on the thrust of the slope or the aesthetic effect that one wants to obtain.
Parmi l'état de la technique, certains documents proposent également des éléments de construction dont le chevauchement est variable en profondeur.Among the state of the art, certain documents propose also building elements whose overlap is variable in depth.
Ainsi le document FR-A-2.621.629 concerne un dispositif permettant de bloquer entre eux des boisseaux pour empêcher leur glissement entre eux dans une rangée horizontale et entre des rangés superposées ainsi que pour permettre la pose éventuelle d'armatures. Il est constitué par des rainures verticales à profil triangulaire sur deux ou quatre faces latérales, des crans triangulaires sur tout ou partie des deux ou quatre arêtes supérieures et/ou inférieures. Ces crans servent aussi au réglage de la pente pour la réalisation de talus ; des trous dans les parois latérales pour le passage éventuel d'armatures horizontales. Ces trois dispositifs peuvent être employés associés entre eux ou séparément.Thus the document FR-A-2,621,629 relates to a device allowing to block bushels between them to prevent their sliding between them in a horizontal row and between stacked rows as well as to allow possible installation of reinforcements. It consists of vertical profile grooves triangular on two or four lateral faces, notches triangular on all or part of the two or four edges higher and / or lower. These notches are also used for setting the slope for the embankment; holes in them side walls for the possible passage of reinforcements horizontal. These three devices can be used in combination between them or separately.
Le document WO-A-91.14833 concerne des éléments de construction destinés à retenir une masse de terre. De manière générale l'élément de construction comprend un panneau frontal ainsi qu'une pluralité de bras saillants. Ledit panneau frontal comporte des parois avant et arrière, des parois latérales ainsi que des parois supérieure et inférieure. Les bras s'étendent à partir de la paroi arrière du panneau frontal et chaque bras présente une paroi supérieure, une paroi inférieure, une paroi arrière ainsi que des parois latérales. Les parois supérieure et inférieure de ces bras présentent chacune des configurations crénelées de mise en contact destinées à faciliter le gerbage d'au moins une partie du bras saillant d'un élément de construction, sur au moins une partie du bras saillant d'un autre élément de construction et destinées à empêcher un mouvement de glissement relatif entre les éléments de construction. On peut utiliser ces éléments de construction afin de construire un mur de soutien et un sous-système de renforcement du sol, lequel comprend un ou plusieurs éléments de construction de soutien libre ainsi qu'au moins une structure de grille positionnée derrière chacun desdits éléments de construction.WO-A-91.14833 relates to construction elements intended to retain a mass of soil. Generally the building element includes a front panel as well as a plurality of projecting arms. Said front panel has front and back walls, side walls as well as walls upper and lower. Arms extend from the wall back of the front panel and each arm has a wall upper, a lower wall, a rear wall as well as side walls. The upper and lower walls of these arms each have crenellated contacting configurations intended to facilitate the stacking of at least part of the arm protruding from a building element, on at least part of the protruding arm of another building element and intended for prevent a relative sliding movement between the elements of construction. We can use these building elements to to build a support wall and a reinforcement subsystem soil, which includes one or more building elements free support and at least one grid structure positioned behind each of said building elements.
Le premier document cité ne permet pas l'aboutement latéral de deux éléments de construction voisins de manière coplanaire. Lors d'un aboutement classique, il y aura un décalage entre les crans supérieurs de chacun des éléments adjacents, de sorte qu'il sera impossible de poser, au-dessus de ces deux éléments, un autre élément.The first document cited does not allow lateral abutment of two neighboring building elements in a coplanar manner. During a classic abutment, there will be a gap between the upper notches of each of the adjacent elements, so that it it will be impossible to lay, above these two elements, another element.
Le second document propose des éléments qui n'ont pas de faces latérales pouvant être mises côte à côte et en contact. Généralement, ce type d'éléments permet un chevauchement entre les éléments avec des espaces vides comblés par le talus soutenu.The second document proposes elements which have no side faces which can be placed side by side and in contact. Generally, this type of element allows an overlap between the elements with empty spaces filled by the sustained slope.
La présente invention propose des éléments de construction qui peuvent être mis en contact les uns avec les autres latéralement et dont les différentes rangées placées au-dessus sont réglables en profondeur, de sorte que l'inclinaison du mur de soutènement est réglable.The present invention provides building elements which can be brought into contact with each other laterally and whose different rows placed above are adjustable in depth, so that the inclination of the wall support is adjustable.
Le document US-A-4.860.505 propose un bloc de construction apte à être positionné au milieu d'autres blocs identiques, qui comprend un corps essentiellement parallélépipédique ayant des faces avant, arrière, supérieure et inférieure, ainsi que deux faces latérales. La face inférieure possède plusieurs rainures, toutes de formes sensiblement identiques, parallèles à la face avant et s'étendant sur toute la largeur de ladite face inférieure d'un côté à l'autre. Ces rainures sont de section constante en forme de V ou de trapèze et espacées à distance régulière les unes des autres sur toute cette face. La face supérieure du bloc comporte au moins deux languettes parallèles aux rainures et de forme complémentaire, les languettes pouvant s'insérer dans certaines rainures.Document US-A-4,860,505 proposes a suitable building block to be positioned in the middle of other identical blocks, which comprises a substantially parallelepipedic body having front, back, top and bottom, as well as two side faces. The underside has several grooves, all of substantially identical shapes, parallel to the face before and extending over the entire width of said face lower from side to side. These grooves are of section constant V-shaped or trapezoidal and spaced at regular distance from each other on this whole face. The upper face of the block has at least two tongues parallel to the grooves and shaped complementary, the tabs can be inserted in some grooves.
La présente invention propose, au contraire de ce document, des éléments de construction bien plus simples puisque le nombre de rainures et de languettes est bien plus réduit. Une seule languette est suffisante sur la face inférieure du bloc, ce qui permet d'avoir une surface de contact horizontale maximale, et deux rainures permettent d'avoir au moins deux positions de réglage de l'inclinaison du mur. De plus, la présence sur la face supérieure d'un minimum de rainures permet, au niveau d'une rangée d'éléments de construction en positon supérieure non recouverte, d'avoir un minimum de concavités de rétention d'eaux et de détritus ; il s'ensuit que les éléments selon l'invention supportent mieux des régions climatiques contrastées et ont une durée de vie plus importante. Enfin, la végétalisation des blocs selon le brevet US-A-4.860.505 n'est pas prévue.The present invention proposes, unlike this document, much simpler building elements since the number of grooves and tongues is much more reduced. Only one tongue is sufficient on the underside of the block, which allows a maximum horizontal contact surface, and two grooves allow for at least two positions of wall tilt adjustment. In addition, the presence on the face upper of a minimum of grooves allows, at the level of a row building elements in the upper position not covered, to have a minimum of water retention concavities and trash; it follows that the elements according to the invention better withstand contrasting climatic regions and have a longer service life. Finally, revegetation of the blocks according to US-A-4,860,505 is not provided.
Le document FR-A-2.675.835 a pour but un élément dont le corps est généralement parallèlépipédique, allongé selon un axe longitudinal et présentant une longueur double de la longueur désirée pour la construction. Des rainures transversales médianes de précoupe sont prévues sur les deux faces principales opposées, qui comprennent également des nervures transversales de positionnement. La fracture du bloc en deux parties réalise des faces irrégulières donnant l'aspect de la pierre. La fracture est facilitée par la présence de certaines nervures transversales de positionnement.The document FR-A-2.675.835 aims at an element the body is generally parallelepiped, elongated along an axis longitudinal and twice the length desired for construction. Median transverse grooves precut are provided on the two opposite main faces, which also include transverse ribs of positioning. The fracture of the block into two parts makes irregular faces giving the appearance of stone. The fracture is facilitated by the presence of certain transverse ribs of positioning.
Bien que le nombre de languettes et de rainures soit réduit, les possibilités de réglage par chevauchement différencié des éléments superposés sont nulles. Il est nécessaire d'avoir une base dont l'inclinaison est adaptée lors de sa construction.Although the number of tabs and grooves is reduced, the possibilities of adjustment by differential overlapping of overlapping elements are zero. It is necessary to have a base whose inclination is adapted during its construction.
A cet effet, un élément de construction, pour monter à sec des murs de soutènement ou autres, de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique rectangle, qui comporte, sur la face supérieure, au moins deux rainures, et sur la face inférieure, au moins une languette, et dont les faces latérales sont lisses et peuvent être aboutées, de sorte que les faces avant et arrière des éléments de construction sont coplanaires et que les languettes, ainsi que les rainures, sont placées dans le prolongement les unes des autres, afin que certaines rainures des faces supérieures des éléments formant une rangée inférieure permettent l'emboÃtement de certaines languettes d'une rangée supérieure et adjacente, est caractérisé par le fait que le nombre de rainures de la face supérieure est plus importante que le nombre de languettes de la face inférieure, de sorte que la position des languettes d'une rangée d'éléments, placée en position supérieure par rapport aux rainures d'une rangée d'éléments, placée en position inférieure, peut être choisie en fonction de l'inclinaison que l'on veut donner ou non au mur de soutènement, que chaque élément comporte au moins un espace aval qui autorise la végétalisation, et que les languettes et les rainures ont une section transversale de forme demi-circulaire.For this purpose, a building element, for dry mounting retaining walls or the like, substantially shaped rectangular parallelepiped, which has, on the face upper, at least two grooves, and on the lower face, at least one tongue, and whose side faces are smooth and can be butted, so that the front and back sides construction elements are coplanar and that the tabs, as well as the grooves, are placed in the extension of each other, so that certain grooves of the upper faces of the elements forming a lower row allow the nesting of certain tabs of a row upper and adjacent, is characterized by the fact that the number of grooves on the upper side is more important than the number of tabs on the underside, so that the position of the tabs of a row of elements, placed in upper position relative to the grooves of a row elements, placed in the lower position, can be selected by depending on the inclination that we want to give or not to the wall of support, that each element has at least one space downstream which authorizes revegetation, and that the tongues and grooves have a cross section semi-circular in shape.
Chaque élément est muni d'au moins une zone de fracture de sorte que, lorsque la fracture a été opérée, la nouvelle face de l'élément ainsi créée a un aspect de pierre éclatée.Each element is provided with at least one fracture zone of so that, when the fracture has been operated, the new face of the element thus created has an aspect of exploded stone.
Une zone de fracture est présente sensiblement parallèlement aux faces avant et arrière de l'élément et à mi-distance de ces deux faces, de sorte que chaque demi-élément est pourvu d'au moins une languette et d'au moins deux rainures.A fracture zone is present substantially parallel at the front and rear faces of the element and halfway between these two sides, so that each half-element is provided with at least a tongue and at least two grooves.
Une zone de fracture est présente sensiblement parallèlement aux faces avant et arrière de l'élément et à proximité de ladite face avant.A fracture zone is present substantially parallel at the front and rear faces of the element and near said element front face.
Les languettes et les rainures ont une section transversale de forme demi-circulaire.Tabs and grooves have a cross section semi-circular in shape.
Les languettes et les rainures sont parallèles entre elles et également par rapport aux faces avant et arrière de chaque élément où elles sont implantées.Tabs and grooves are parallel to each other and also in relation to the front and rear faces of each element where they are located.
Au niveau de la zone de fracture, l'élément possède une rainure sur sa face supérieure et une rainure sur la face inférieure, ce qui facilite la fracture de l'élément.At the level of the fracture zone, the element has a groove on its upper face and a groove on the face lower, which facilitates the fracture of the element.
Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples indicatifs et non limitatifs. Ils représentent un mode de réalisation préféré selon l'invention. Ils permettront de comprendre aisément l'invention.The attached drawings are given as examples indicative and not limiting. They represent a mode of preferred embodiment according to the invention. They will allow easily understand the invention.

La présente invention concerne un élément de construction 1
qui permet de monter à sec des murs de soutènement 2 ou encore des
piliers 12. Aucun élément de l'état de la technique ne permet ce
double usage pour la fabrication de murs et de piliers.The present invention relates to a

construction 1 sont de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique
rectangle. Ils sont également caractérisés par le fait qu'
ils comportent une face supérieure et une face inférieure, chacune
de ces faces recevant respectivement des rainures 3 et des
languettes 4. A contrario, les faces latérales 5 des éléments 1
sont lisses et peuvent être facilement aboutées les unes aux
autres, ce qui permet d'avoir des faces avant 6 et arrière 7
desdits éléments de construction 1 qui sont coplanaires.This property is due to the fact that the elements of

une rangée sont placées dans le prolongement les unes des autres,
ceci est également vrai pour les rainures 3.In this position, the
Cette disposition permet à certaines rainures 3 des faces
supérieures des éléments 1, formant une rangée inférieure de

d'éléments 1.This arrangement allows
Le nombre des rainures 3, portées par la face supérieure, est
obligatoirement plus important que le nombre de languettes 4 de
la face inférieure, ceci afin de permettre aux languettes 4
d'avoir un nombre de positions important à l'intérieur des
rainures 3 de la rangée d'éléments 1 adjacente.The number of
A titre non limitatif, le nombre des rainures 3 est de dix
sur chaque élément 1 représenté sur les figures, alors que le
nombre de languettes 4 est de six.Without limitation, the number of
Le décalage qui pourra être apporté entre la rangée
inférieure et la rangée juste supérieure des éléments de
construction 1 va permettre d'avoir une inclinaison qui sera
réglable en fonction du mur de soutènement que l'on veut obtenir,
ou encore de l'effort exercé par le talus sur le mur de
soutènement 2.The difference that can be made between the row

rapport à la rangée sous-jacente alors que la rangée qui se trouve
juste au dessus de celle-ci aura un décalage différent. Ceci
pourra donner un aspect esthétique original au mur 2.Of course, a row may have a certain offset by
relative to the underlying row while the row that is

rainure 11 sur la face inférieure, comme cela est représenté sur
les figures 1 et 3.At
Bien entendu, l'invention comme définie dans les revendications n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation décrit. Of course, the invention as defined in the claims is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described.
Par example, la réalisation du pilier 12 représenté
à la figure 9 peut être le fait d'éléments de construction 1 qui
ont été préalablement fracturés selon la zone de fracture 8, ce
qui crée des demi-éléments de construction avant 13 et arrière 14.
Néanmoins, il est évident qu'on peut utiliser des éléments 1
complets pour la réalisation d'un tel pilier. De même, on pourra
utiliser deux piles d'éléments 1 juxtaposées, etc.For example, the realization of
Le sommet du pilier 12 comprend un chapeau 15 qui protège
l'ensemble de la structure dudit pilier 12. The top of the
