Abstract
A block for forming a structure, said block comprising a top, a bottom, a front wall, a back wall and two side walls, said block having disposed proximate the top at least one projection, said block having disposed proximate the bottom thereof at least one recess, wherein when the structure is formed from a plurality of said blocks, said at least one projection of one block engages with said at least one recess of another block.

A block for forming a structure, said block comprising:
- a top, a bottom, a front wall, a back wall and two side walls, said block having disposed proximate the top at least one projection, said block having disposed proximate the bottom thereof at least one recess;
- wherein when the structure is formed from a plurality of said blocks, said at least one projection of one block engages with said at least one recess of another block.
A building block having a top and a bottom, and four side walls, the bottom comprising a plurality of substantially parallel recesses, the top comprising a lateral zone and a corner zone, the lateral zone further comprising a plurality of substantially parallel projections for mating reception of said parallel recesses, said corner zone comprising a plurality of directional projections to receive at least one of the substantially parallel recesses of an above positioned block, while positioning it in parallel, in perpendicular, at substantially 45° or at substantially 135° to said block, further the corner zone comprises at least one removable segment defined by at least one score line.
A construction block, said block comprising a top, a bottom, a front wall, a substantially smooth back wall, a left wall and a right wall, wherein the top comprises:
- a) three longitudinal projections extending from said left wall of the toward said right end,
- b) proximate said right wall of the block, said top has three score lines:
- a first score line running substantially parallel to said right wall and two score lines substantially 45° to said first score line, the first score line allows removal of the smooth right wall creating a shorter block, and said two other score lines substantially 45° to said first score line allow removal of one or two of the corners proximate said right wall of the block;
- c) said top further comprises directional projections positioned between the score lines and the longitudinal projections of the block, said directional projections allow positioning of an above positioned block, in a parallel, perpendicular, substantially 45° or substantially 135° angular relation to a bottom positioned block,
- wherein the bottom of the block comprises:
- a plurality of longitudinal recesses adapted to receive corresponding said longitudinal projections on the top of the block, the longitudinal recesses extending from the left wall of the block proximate the right wall of the block;
- wherein the substantially smooth back wall of said block comprises:
- a plurality of substantially vertical score lines along the wall, for optional separation of the block into a plurality of shorter blocks.
