Abstract:
An artificial flagstone for use in combination with other similar flagstones for covering a surface with a natural random look, the flagstone having a generally hexagonal body comprising a first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth consecutive vertices; a first pair of first and second sides extending radially from the first vertex; a second pair of third and fourth sides extending radially from the third vertex; a third pair of fifth and sixth sides extending radially from the fifth vertex; wherein the sides of at least one of the first, second and third pair of sides have at least one split deviation along their length and are respectively rotational images of each other, and the artificial flagstone has no rotational symmetry when rotated about a central axis.
Abstract:
A building unit system includes discrete, irregular, non-geometric units, including first units and second units having a different size and shape than the first units. The first units and second units mate with one another to form a continuous surface without overlap between units or large gaps between units, resulting in a natural, custom fitted appearance such that a regular geometric pattern is not readily apparent.
Abstract:
A three dimensional structural unit includes at least one face having a rotational tessellation. The at least one face has at least two irregular sides extending there from. At least one of the sides has connectors adapted to align adjacent units.
Abstract:
A building unit has a substantially planar base having an outer periphery including multiple mating sides. Each mating side has at least one “S”-connection, which includes at least one outwardly extending male mating section and at least one inwardly extending adjacent female section. On the base, there are multiple cobbles or raised regions separated by false joints. A first portion of the raised regions are positioned on the male mating sections, respectively and extend to positions proximate to the outer periphery of the base. A second portion of the raised regions are positioned adjacent the female mating sections, respectively and are set back from the outer periphery. Each side of one unit can mate with any side of another like unit. The arrangement results in a surface covering that lacks a discernible pattern.

Abstract:
A surface covering comprises multiple units adapted to mate with one another and cover a surface. Each said unit comprises at least one primary rotational tessellation element that defines the sides of the unit, has an irregular configuration, includes a face having molded surface irregularities or variations therein, and has at least two pairs of irregularly shaped sides. Preferably, gaps of variable width are defined between visible edges of adjacent units in the surface covering. The surface covering has a natural appearance such that a repeating pattern is not readily apparent. A structural wall unit system is also provided.

Abstract:
A cast stone set is provided comprising at least four molded stones each having an irregular perimeter. The stones are configured to fit within a hypothetical defining border as defined. The stones can be used to form a patio stone landscape feature such as a patio or walkway, or to form a stepping path. In selected uses, the stones can be reordered from being positioned with the hypothetical defining border. Methods of use and manufacture are described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a set (B) of paving stones (P) that respectively have a polygonal base surface (G1-G7), side surfaces with ribs and a visible side, for paving surfaces with optionally different laying patterns.
