Abstract
A cementations block for seating in adjacent and adjoining relation with a plurality of the cementations blocks to define a wall, with each block comprising a body having a top and an opposing bottom, opposing front and back faces, and a first and second opposing ends, with beveled edges along a bottom and side. The top defines a geometric protruding surface and the bottom defines a mating geometric surface, whereby two of the block stacked one on another matingly engage together. The first end defines a protrudence and the second end defines a recess conforming substantially in shape to the protrudence, whereby linearly adjacent blocks matingly engage for assembling a wall therewith, with the beveled surfaces simulating mortar joints between adjacent blocks.
Claims19
A cementatious block for seating in adjacent and adjoining relation with a plurality of the cementatious blocks to define a wall, comprising:
- a body having a top and an opposing bottom, opposing front and back faces, and a first and second opposing ends;
- the top defining a geometric protruding surface and the bottom defining a mating geometric surface, whereby two of the block stacked one on another matingly engage together;
- the front face formed of a first material extending from an exterior surface thereof through the body at least to a depth defined by a plane substantially parallel to the exterior surface with a remaining portion of the body extending therefrom to the opposing back face formed of a second material and further defining a beveled first edge extending substantially a length of the body adjacent the bottom and a beveled second side edge extending substantially a height of the body between the bottom and the top;
- and
- the first end defining a protrudence and the second end defining a recess conforming substantially in shape to the protrudence, whereby linearly adjacent blocks matingly engage for assemblying a wall therewith.
A cementatious block for seating in adjacent and adjoining relation with a plurality of the cementatious blocks to define a wall, comprising:
- a body having a top and an opposing bottom, opposing front and back faces, and a first and second opposing ends;
- the top defining a geometric protruding surface and the bottom defining a mating geometric surface, whereby two of the blocks stacked one on another matingly engage together;
- the front face defining a beveled first edge extending substantially a length of the block adjacent the bottom surface and a beveled second side edge extending substantially a height of the body between the bottom and the top, the front face formed of a first material extending from an exterior surface thereof through the body at least to a depth defined by a plane substantially parallel to the exterior surface with a remaining portion of the body extending therefrom to the opposing back face formed of a second material;
- the first end defining a protrudence and the second end defining a recess conforming substantially in shape to the protrudence, whereby linearly adjacent blocks matingly engage for assemblying a wall therewith;
- and
- a portion of the bottom surface defining a notch recessed into a side face extending from a distal edge thereof for matingly engaging a drip strip attached to a footer of a foundation on which a plurality of the blocks are stacked and linearly engaged together to define the wall.
