Abstract
A glass block wall 10 having a curved section 11 between a straight block 12 and a straight bull nosed end block 13 employs a lower run of blocks 14 and an upper run of blocks 15 shown in phantom to expose an arrangement 16 of separation means between the runs of blocks. The curved section 11 includes a number of curved separation plates 19, 20 and 21 each formed to the shape of an upper end face of the respective blocks. A corner block 22 has a corresponding plate 21 whereas the plates 19 and 20 are formed to the shape of bend blocks 23 and 24, forming a compound curve in the curved section 11.

A glass block wall comprising:
- straight and non-straight glass blocks, so the wall has a non-straight section, the glass blocks having opposed side walls and end walls, the end walls of adjacent blocks being placed in confronting relation so the glass blocks are arranged in horizontal runs, separation means positioned between the horizontal runs of glass blocks, the separation means being formed to locate between the confronting end walls of said glass blocks and being adapted to fit between the blocks and locate the blocks in a predetermined spaced relation, each separation means including a plurality of connected together sections, each section having opposite ends and opposite side edges, at least some of said sections being connected together by said connector means so that said sections of said separation means are offset forming the non-straight section of said glass block wall.
