Abstract
The present application discloses curb components that represent various shapes of glass blocks to be used in the construction of a curb for a glass block wall, along with a system and method for laying out the curb components. The curb components can be fitted together to lay out the positioning of glass blocks, such that a user can lay out potential designs for glass block walls prior to constructing the glass block wall. Connection mechanisms are used, which enable a variety of joint sizes, as well as angled joints to be formed.
Claims9
A system to lay out a pattern for positioning and supporting glass blocks in the construction of a glass block wall, comprising:
- a plurality of curb components, each curb component having a floor contacting surface and a top surface which supports and conforms to a bottom of a corresponding one of said glass blocks, adjacent ones of said plurality of curb components being removeably couplable at their ends to each other and adjustable to adjust an angle between adjacent curb components, and wherein each of said curb components includes a mounting slot operative to receive a fastening mechanism to attach said curb components to a floor.
