The invention relates to a method for producing purpose-made blocks (10). According to said method, several purpose-made blocks (10) are produced in a mold (37) in such a way that the blocks (10) are arranged in at least one row (28) of purpose-made blocks in the mold (37) and respective adjacent blocks (10) of a block row (28) are interconnected in a zone of at least one predetermined breaking point (30). The purpose-made blocks (10) of a block row (28) are removed together from the mold (37) and the blocks (10) are separated from one another in the zone of the predetermined breaking point (30). According to the invention, adjacent purpose-made blocks (10) of one or each block row (28) are produced in the mold (37) in such a way that axes of the purpose-made blocks (10) deviate at least partially in the longitudinal direction (32) of each block row (28) from the longitudinal axis (32) of each block row (28) and that lateral pressure is exerted on the or each molded block row (28) to separate the predetermined breaking points (30). The invention also relates to a corresponding mold (37) and to a purpose-made block row that is produced in said mold (37).
A method of producing molded blocks (10), in which a plurality of molded blocks (10) are produced in a mold (37) in such a way that the molded blocks (10) are arranged in the mold (37) in at least one molded block row (28) and respective adjacent molded blocks (10) of a molded block row (28) are interconnected in the region of at least one predetermined breaking point (30), the molded blocks (10) of a molded block row (28) preferably being removed from the mold (37) as a continuous unit and being separated from one another in the region of the predetermined breaking points (30), characterized in that adjacent molded blocks (10) of one or of each molded block row (28) are produced in the mold (37) in such a way that axes of the molded blocks (10) deviate at least partially from the longitudinal axis (32) of the respective molded block row (28) in the longitudinal direction of the respective molded block row (28), and in that, in order to sever the predetermined breaking points (30), lateral pressure is exerted on each molded block row (28).
The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a plurality of molded block rows (28) are produced in a mold (37), the molded block rows (28) resting on a support board (21) after the at least partial setting of said rows and being pressed laterally against one another on removal from the support board (21).
A device, in particular mold (37), for the production of molded blocks (10), comprising a mold frame (20), which rests on a support board (21) and which has, at the bottom and top, open mold cavities (22) which are delimited by mold walls (23) of the mold frame (20), a plurality of mold cavities (22) being arranged in at least one row, characterized in that adjacent mold cavities (22) of a row are connected to one another, such that the molded blocks (10) of a row which can be produced in the mold (37) are interconnected to form a molded block row (28), and in that the mold cavities (22) are arranged in such a way that axes (31) and, in particular, side faces (13, 15) run in an at least partially deviating manner from a longitudinal axis (32) of the respective molded block row (28) in the longitudinal direction of the respective molded block row (28).
The device as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the axes (31) of every second molded block (10) of a molded block row (28) are aligned in concordance with one another and the axes (31) of the remaining molded blocks (10) of the molded block row (28) have a different course, preferably also a mutually identical course.
A molded block row (28), in particular as claimed in one of the preceding claims, comprising at least four upright side walls (12, 13, 14, 15) and substantially horizontally oriented top surface (16) and bottom surface (17), the molded block row (28) being formed from a plurality of molded blocks (10) and adjacent molded blocks (10) of a molded block row (28) being connected to one another in the region of predetermined breaking points (30), characterized in that axes (31) and, in particular, side faces (13, 15) of at least some adjacent molded blocks (10) deviate at least partially from a longitudinal axis (32) of the respective molded block row (28) in the longitudinal direction of the respective molded block (28).
The molded block row (28) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the predetermined breaking points (30) are arranged in the region of at least one exposed side of at least some molded blocks (10).
The molded block row (28) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that each molded block row (28) has at least two molded blocks (10).
The molded block row (28) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a molded block of shorter length, in particular an end block (36), is arranged at at least one free end of a molded block row (28).
