Abstract
A restructured, recycled or repurposed slab such as stone, wood or the like which includes a primary component and a secondary component which fills a fissure, crack or break in the slab. The secondary component being configured to restore the structural integrity and/or providing a continuous surface. The secondary component configured to provide a noticeable contrast in appearance to the primary component.
Claims21
A restructured slab comprising:
- a first component forming the body of the slab and having a first portion and a second portion;
- a fissure component which comprises a crack, break, slot, groove or other discontinuing within the slab, the fissure component creating an identifiable degree of separation between the first portion and the second portion;
- and
- a second component configured to fill the fissure component and restore structural integrity of the slab component such that the first portion and the second portion and second component comprise a complete slab having a substantially continuous configuration, where the second component comprises:
- a fill component that comprises a substantially clear or translucent material;
- and
- a contrast component integrated within the fill component such that the contrast component is visible within the fill component.

A restructured slab comprising;
- a first component forming the body of the slab and having a first portion and a second portion;
- a fissure component creating an identifiable degree of separation between the first portion and the second portion;
- and
- a second component configured to fill the fissure component and restore structural integrity of the slab component such that the first portion and the second portion and second component comprise a complete slab have a substantially continuous configuration, where the second component comprises:
- a fill component that comprises a substantially clear or translucent material;
- and
- a contrast component integrated within the fill component such that the contrast component is visible within the fill component, wherein the contrast component comprises colored beads.
4 more elements
A restructured slab comprising;
- a first component forming the body of the slab and having a first portion and at least a second portion;
- a discontinuity within the slab, the discontinuity creating an identifiable area such that the first portion is identifiable relative to the at least second portion;
- and
- a second component configured to fill the discontinuity within the slab and restore structural integrity of the slab component such that the first portion and the second portion and second component comprise a complete slab have a substantially continuous configuration, where the second component comprises:
- a fill component that comprises a substantially clear or translucent material;
- and
- a contrast component integrated within the fill component such that the contrast component is visible within the fill component, wherein the contrast component comprises a leather strap.

A recycled and repurposed slab of building material comprising;
- a first component forming at least 50% of a body of a slab, the first component comprised of natural stone, wood or other material that has been broken, cracked or otherwise altered, but continues to have the appearance and be identifiable as an original slab before such break, crack or discontinuity was formed in the slab;
- a discontinuity within the slab, wherein the discontinuity comprises a crack, break, slot, groove or other discontinuing within the slab, the discontinuity creating an identifiable degree of separation within portions of the first component;
- a second component configured to fill the discontinuity within the slab and restore structural integrity of the slab component such that the first component and second component comprise a complete slab having a substantially continuous configuration, where the second component comprises a metal fill material;
- and
- a metal boundary that circumscribes the outer periphery of the slab, wherein the metal boundary comprises the same metal material as the metal fill material.
