Abstract

A product of a method is disclosed, the method being for construction of non-seamed stone corners for use on outside edges formed by joining thin stone walls at right angles. Thin stone is used to lay the field of the walls. In the method, two cuts are made in a building stone, removing a residual piece and leaving a corner stone with sides ½ inch to 3 inch thick to match the thickness of the thin stone on the field of the walls. These corner stones are the product of the method and are laid on the corner formed by the right angle joint between the walls, giving the illusion of a thick building stone wall with nearly the low cost and easy laying of thin stone. Where the residual piece is large enough, it is used to cut a second corner stone in the same manner.

Dependent claims

A non-seamed stone corner for first and second thin stone walls of thickness T1 and T2, respectively, said first and second walls being joined at right angles at an external edge, the corner created by a method comprising the steps of:

selecting a building stone having a height H, a depth D and a width W, said building stone having top and bottom surfaces H1 and H2, respectively, front and back surfaces D1 and D2, respectively, and left and right surfaces W1 and W2, respectively;
orienting said building stone at the higher end of an inclined chute having perpendicular sides C1 and C2, such that surface W1 rests on side C1 and surface H2 rests on side C2;
adjusting dual stone cutting saw blades B1 and B2 mounted perpendicularly to one another and parallel to respective sides C1 and C2 in said chute, such that the distance between blade B1 and side C1 is T1 and the distance between blade B2 and side C2 is T2, and the cutting edges of blades B1 and B2 have a clearance of about one-eighth of an inch;
feeding said oriented building stone down said chute and through said saw blades;
and
removing from said building stone a residual piece, said removal step of the method leaving said building stone remainder as a corner stone.

selecting a building stone having a height H, a depth D and a width W, said building stone having top and bottom surfaces H1 and H2, respectively, front and back surfaces D1 and D2, respectively, and left and right surfaces W1 and W2, respectively;
making a first cut in said building stone, the plane of said first cut being parallel to the plane of surface W1 and extending to a uniform depth from surface H1, such that the distance between the plane of said first cut and the plane of surface W1 is T1, and such that said uniform depth is equal to (H-T2);
making a second cut in said building stone, the plane of said second cut being parallel to the plane of surface H1 and extending to a second uniform depth from surface W2, such that the distance between the plane of said second cut and the plane of surface H2 is T2, and such that said second uniform depth is equal to (W-T1);
and
removing from said building stone a residual piece, said removal step of the method leaving said building stone remainder as a corner stone.
