Interlocking building blocks

A building block, comprising:

• first and second elongate side walls;
• a pair of end sections joined at opposite lateral ends of the side walls defining an elongate cavity having a top and bottom end, each end section including a protuberance extending into said cavity, each protuberance having a top and bottom face;
• and
• a handle having opposite side faces, a top face and a bottom face and joined at a top end of the cavity between the two side walls at a midpoint between the two end sections, the handle extending partially down the side walls so that the cavity extends along opposite side faces and completely underneath the bottom face of said handle thereby allowing a hand to wrap completely around the side, top and bottom faces of said handle at the same time.

A method for interlocking blocks, comprising:

• providing multiple blocks of the same shape each having parallel sides joined together at opposite lateral ends by a pair of end faces and joined at the top and bottom by a horizontal top and bottom face, respectively;
• providing a pair of tenons attached to and extending up from the top face at opposite lateral ends of each block and a pair of corresponding mortises formed in the bottom face of each block;
• placing a first set of blocks horizontally adjacent to each other at various angles forming a first row, the end faces of horizontally adjacent blocks abutting against each other at each of the various angles;
• and
• interlocking a second set of blocks on top of the first row forming a second row, the second row of blocks interlocked by engaging the mortise extending down from the second row with the tenons extending up from the first row thereby forming a multi-layer interlocked structure configurable into a variety of different angles and curvatures.

• and
• interlocking a second set of blocks on top of the first row forming a second row, the second row of blocks interlocked by engaging the mortise extending down from the second row with the tenons extending up from the first row thereby forming a multi-layer interlocked wall configurable into a variety of different angles and curvatures;
• and
• assembling a support structure along the side of the wall, the support structure assembled by placing at least two blocks side-by-side at an angle generally perpendicular with the blocks in the first and second rows, and interlocking the blocks in the support structure with the blocks in the wall.

A wall, comprising:

• superimposed rows of longitudinally aligned building blocks, each block having the same shape and including;
• a pair of longitudinally extending side faces;
• flat top and bottom faces joined to said side faces;
• a pair of laterally extended end faces joined to the side, top, and bottom faces at opposite lateral ends of the block;
• a pair of tenons attached to and extending out from the top face at opposite lateral ends of the block and a pair of corresponding mortise formed in the bottom face;
• the tenons from each block capable of being interlocked together at a predetermined range of angles with the mortises of vertically adjacent blocks while at the same time the end walls of horizontally adjacent blocks abutting against each other at each horizontally rotatable position within the predetermined range of angles thereby forming a continuous running interlocked structure having a configurable cross-sectional shape.
