Abstract
The invention discloses devices and methods for using building blocks for construction that does not require mortar, internal columns or additional internal or external finishing. A building block includes joining elements for attaching blocks from top to bottom as well as from side to side. Additionally, blocks have internal and external finishes that are complete. The block includes a removable face for allowing access to space for infrastructural elements like wires and pipes. Thus, after construction of a structure, there is no additional need to paint, hang wallpaper or otherwise treat the outer and inner walls of the final structure.
Claims17
A substantially hollow block for use in building construction including floors, walls, and ceilings of said building, wherein said block has a top side that includes a first joining feature, a bottom side including a complementary second joining feature, a plurality of connectors and holes at the ends of said block, extending continuously through the length of said block, and an inner space closed by a removable face, said space adapted to accept infrastructure elements of at least one of electrical wiring, water pipes, steam pipes, Internet wires, phone wires, and cables, and said holes are adapted to allow facile passage of said infrastructure elements to adjacent blocks wherein said infrastructure elements may be inserted after completion of the building through said removable face.
A building block for mortar-less and paint-less construction, wherein said block is made of a pre-painted polymeric material and includes a plurality of elements for self-joining with other such building blocks as well as at least one removable a face that can be removed for access to infrastructure elements of at least one of electrical wiring, water pipes, steam pipes, Internet wires, phone wires, and cables, running through said building block, wherein said building block includes a plurality of holes at the ends of said block and at the top and the bottom of said block for transfer of infrastructure elements between adjacent blocks and wherein said infrastructure elements may be inserted after completion of the building through said at least one removable face.
A block system for construction of a structure, including the following:
- a plurality of building blocks, said blocks prepared from polymeric materials and including a removable face for access to a hollow space for passage of infrastructure elements of at least one of electrical wiring, water pipes, steam pipes, Internet wires, phone wires, and cables, and holes at the ends, top and bottom of said block for passage of said infrastructure elements between adjacent blocks during one of construction of said structure or after the completion of the building through said removable face;
- a closing element, wherein said closing element is adapted to fit within joining elements associated with a plurality of said building blocks stacked upon each other;
- and,
- glue, wherein said glue is applied between adjacent building blocks to hold together said building blocks.
