Abstract:
Ornamental interlocking inserts are provided, for use with existing structures of interlocking stones, bricks, tiles or the like, or with new structures being built, and a process of providing the inserts is disclosed. The inserts may have a graphic or alphanumeric design, and may be provided with colored portions, to result in a pleasing visual effect.
Abstract:
A paving block assembly and first and second paving blocks therefor. The first and second paving blocks are combined to form a continuous paving surface. Spacers are provided on the blocks for assuring, among other things, correct positioning of the blocks in a continuous paving surface. The paving blocks have concave and convex curved side surfaces, which increase the durability of the paving blocks. The paving blocks in the paving block assembly form an arch shaped pattern, which increases the stability of the paving block assembly.
Abstract:
A kit of cobble stone elements of varied shapes which when fitted together into a close-fitting fan-shaped composite of which a plurality of the fan shaped composites symbolic of a fish scale form a close-fitting integrated repetitive design of unique and novel appearance.
Abstract:
A paving stone, especially a concrete paving stone, serving for the paving of gardens and parks, paths, etc., is proposed. So that the paving stone laid out in a continuous system gives the best possible natural appearance, practical handling is guaranteed and strength is provided to an unrestricted degree, the side surfaces of the paving stone are designed as plane surfaces, but the transitional surfaces between the side surfaces and the upper surface are rounded and designed in such a way that the limiting line which is visible when seen from above is curved. The lateral limiting line between the transitional surface and the plane side surface is also shaped as a curved line, that is to say the corners are drawn down. For universal use, there are various construction sizes matching one another and special corner stones or curved stones which allow space-saving laying in a composite structure.
Abstract:
A paving slab is provided. The paving slab has a unitary body made of concrete- based material, the body having sidewalls extending between top and bottom faces, providing the body with a thickness. The top face is provided with longitudinal false joints defining rows extending from a first to a second side of the unitary body. The first side has a staggered outline and the second side has a stepped outline, the first and second sides being able to engage with respective first and second sides of an adjacent slab shaped as the paving slab, but rotated by 180 degrees. When several of the slabs are assembled on a surface, it creates an illusion that the surface is covered by individual plank pavers randomly assembled.
Abstract:
Es wird ein Steinverband aus nebeneinander angeordneten Steinen verschiedener Querschnittsformen und/oder Größe vorgeschlagen, wobei der Steinverband mehrere Steintypen umfasst, die im Wesentlichen die gleiche Höhe aufweisen, und wobei ein Steintyp eine vorbestimmte Länge, eine vorbestimmte Breite und eine vorbestimmte Querschnittsform aufweist. Der Steinverband zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Steinverband Steintypen der folgenden Kategorien umfasst: a) Steintypen (4S,8S,9S,51S,52S,58S), deren Querschnittsform spiegelbildlich zu der Querschnittsform eines anderen Steintyps (4N,8N,9N,51N, 52N,58N) des Steinverbands ausgebildet ist; b) wenigstens einen Steintyp (5N,1N, 1IS, 1rN, 54N), bei dem es sich um ein Unikat handelt, und c) wenigstens einen Steintyp (1IS, 1rN), dessen Querschnittsform im Wesentlichen einer Hälfte oder einer gespiegelten Hälfte der Querschnittsform eines Steintyps (1N) der Kategorie a) oder b) entspricht; und dass eine Gruppe von Steinen der vorgenannten Steintypen eine Verlegeeinheit definiert, die vorzugsweise durch ein gedachtes Rechteck begrenzt ist.
Abstract:
Multiple molded polymeric panels of various configurations are mechanically fastened together along a side surface having alternating upright and downward facing steps containing fastening elements to provide putting greens of different dimensions and shape. Each panel has a planar top surface and a bottom integral grid supporting structure. A simulated grass overlies the joined panels. Raised pads are optionally placed between the top surface of the panels and the simulated grass to provide a contoured green.
Abstract:
Ein im Wesentlichen quaderförmiger Pflasterstein mit einem entsprechenden Grundkörper (21) ist an allen vier Seitenflächen (25, 26) mit stegartigen, aufrechten Abstandhaltern (22) versehen, deren Abstände voneinander etwa der Breite der Abstandhalter entspricht, so dass diese mit benachbarten Formsteinen gleicher Art in eine verzahnte Verbindung eingehen können. Des Weiteren ist an einer Unterseite (24) des Pflastersteins eine Anzahl von quergerichteten, rinnenartigen Vertiefungen eingeformt unter Bildung von Rippen zwischen diesen Vertiefungen. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Verzahnung bzw. Verankerung zusätzlich im Untergrund der verlegten Pflastersteine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a floor covering element (2) with a square base form. An indentation (8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4) is provided on all four base sides, each indentation being symmetrical in relation to a middle axis of symmetry (12). Opposite indentations are mirror images of each other. Each indentation is complementary to the indentations on the two base sides that are joined by a corner. A projection (24) is provided in each of the four corner areas of the floor covering element, this projection being essentially in the shape of a right-angled isosceles triangle or a surface element similar to such a triangle with bent sides. The removal of the four projections (24) results in a floor covering element of a second type (42) which can be laid together with other floor covering elements of the second type (42) or together with floor covering elements of the first type (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to horizontally and vertically linked paving stones (10). According to the invention, projections (18) and recesses (19) are provided in the area of the bottom part (16) of the paving stones (10) used for a paved surface in order to link said paving stones horizontally and vertically. These projections and recesses engage with each other with a positive fit so as to interlock adjacent stones in a horizontal and vertical direction. The paving stones (10) are characterised in that the width of the joints (32) formed between adjacent paving stones (10) increases in a downward direction so as to form a gap which diverges downwards. This means that the material used for filling the joints can be introduced efficiently and reliably as far as the underside.
