Abstract
A hexagonal refractory brick is constructed with tapered sides so it can be stacked 3-on-1 and 1-on-3, the bottom surface of the brick fitting between projections on the top surfaces of three others. A central vertical channel in the brick is complemented by other vertical channels formed by the assembly of a plurality of bricks, and horizontal channels which are relatively wide at the bottom.
Claims8
Hexagonal refractory brick having a generally hexagonal top surface, a generally hexagonal bottom surface, said bottom surface having an area smaller than said top surface, and uninterrupted planar side surfaces tapering continuously from said top surface to said bottom surface, said top surface having radial raised members dividing said top surface into areas of one-third of said top surface, said refractory brick further defining a plurality of internal vertical channels and a plurality of external partial vertical channels, said partial vertical channels being positioned to come together to form full vertical channels when said brick is juxtaposed with other bricks.
