Abstract
A block for landscaping purposes. The landscaping block has one generally planar surface and another corresponding generally parallel planar surface, which further defines a protrusion and a cavity conformed to receive another protrusion of the same dimension in a male/female relationship with the planar surfaces of the block in close proximity and parallel to each other. Two or more of the landscaping blocks may best be joined together by inserting the protrusion of one block into the conformed cavity of the next block. A series of blocks may be joined together either in an extended line, or in a shape which reaches closure, with all of the blocks interlocked.
Claims18
A block for landscaping purposes, comprising a planar surface;
- said planar surface further comprising a protrusion in the form of a truncated cone, defined upon and projecting from said planar surface and a corresponding indentation defined upon said planar surface, said indentation configured to accept the protrusion of another like block in a male/female relationship.
A block for landscaping purposes, comprising a planar surface;
- said planar surface further comprising a protrusion defined upon and projecting from said planar surface and a corresponding indentation defined upon said planar surface, said indentation configured to accept the protrusion of another like block in a male/female relationship;
- said protrusion and indentation linearly aligned so bisect said planar surface;
- said planar surface having a maximum width dimension and a maximum length dimension at least as long as the maximum width dimension and the alignment of the protrusion and indentation bisecting the width dimension of the planar surface;
- and
- said protrusion is centered on one-half of the length dimension of the block and the indentation is centered on the corresponding one-half of the length dimension of the block.
A combination of blocks for landscaping purposes, each block in said combination comprising a first outwardly, generally planar surface;
- a second, corresponding, oppositely outwardly generally planar surface;
- a perimeter for each planar surface being defined by a unitary edge;
- unitary side surface extending about the perimeter of the corresponding planar surfaces extending between their respective unitary edges;
- said first generally planar surface and second generally planar surface each having a length approximately two times its width;
- said first planar surface further comprising a protrusion defined upon and projecting from said first planar surface and a corresponding indentation defined upon said first planar surface, said indentation configured to accept the protrusion of another like block in a male/female relationship;
- said protrusion and indentation being linearly aligned so as to lengthwise bisect said first planar surface;
- said protrusion being centered upon one half of the length dimension of said first planar surface;
- said indentation being centered upon the corresponding one half the length dimension of said first planar surface, and said blocks being combined, alternatively, so that the first planar surface of each block interfaces with the first planar surface of each adjoining block so that the respective first planar surfaces of the adjoining blocks form a common boundary with the protrusion of each block conformed within the indentation of an adjoining block in a male/female relationship.
