Abstract: A paving element includes upper and lower surfaces and one or more drainage channels extending through the paving element between the upper and lower surfaces. The drainage channels include a substantially concave or cupule shaped upper portion, provided on the upper surface of the paving element, and a channel from the concave portion through to the lower surface of the bottom surface of the paving element. The drainage channels can be complete, when provided in the interior of the paving element, or partial, when provided along the sides or perimeter of the paving element. The partial channels are completed when the paving element is placed adjacent another paving element when forming a pavement. The drainage channels are adapted to facilitate the cleaning process of the channels.

Abstract: A set of grass pavers for creating a paver arrangement is provided. Each grass pavers comprises intersecting longitudinal members and transverse members forming an inner opening for growing grass. Pairs of adjacent member extremities form partial openings configured to form complete openings when a 5 grass paver is assembled with adjacent grass pavers. The longitudinal members and/or the transverse members have recessed portion(s) having an upper face extending below the exposed top face of the unitary body. The recessed portions are hidden by grass when the grass paver is installed and in use in the paver arrangement. The grass paver have an overall surface area delimited by the 10 extremities of the longitudinal and transverse members, and a void surface area corresponding to a sum of the inner opening area and the partial opening areas. The void ratio, defined as the void surface area over the overall area, is greater than 50%.

Abstract: An irregular, tessellated building unit comprises x primary elements, wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 1. The primary element is a rotational tessellation having a plural pairs of sides extending in a generally radial direction from plural vertices, respectively. In each pair, the two sides are rotationally spaced by an angle that is divided evenly into 360 degrees. Preferably, all of the sides are irregularly shaped, but one or more sides could be wholly or partially straight. Optionally, spacers are provided on the sides of each unit. A wide variety of units may be constructed having different numbers and arrangements of primary elements. As all the units are combinations of primary elements, they readily mate with each other. A surface covering comprises a multiplicity of units assembled to form a continuous surface without overlap between units and without substantial gaps between units. A structure, such as a wall or column can be formed of building units of the invention. Because of the irregular side configurations, and different sizes and shapes of individual units, the resulting surface or structure has a natural, non-repeating pattern appearance. Optionally, minor surface and edges variations are made from unit to unit to further enhance the natural appearance of the surface covering or structure.

Abstract translation: 不规则的镶嵌单元包括x个主要元件，其中x是等于或大于1的整数。主要元件是具有分别从多个顶点沿大致径向方向延伸的多对边的旋转镶嵌。 在每对中，两侧旋转间隔360度均匀的角度。 优选地，所有侧面都是不规则形状，但是一个或多个侧面可以是全部或部分直的。 可选地，间隔件设置在每个单元的侧面上。 可以构造具有不同数量和主要元件的布置的各种各样的单元。 由于所有的单位都是主要元素的组合，它们彼此容易相互配合。 表面覆盖物包括多个单元组装以形成连续表面，而在单元之间没有重叠且在单元之间没有实质的间隙。 诸如壁或柱的结构可以由本发明的建筑单元形成。 由于各个单元的不规则侧面构造和不同尺寸和形状，所得到的表面或结构具有天然的非重复图案外观。 可选地，从单元到单元进行较小的表面和边缘变化，以进一步增强表面覆盖物或结构的自然外观。
