Abstract
Abstract A structural assembly includes a square trough-shaped stone having inclined external corner regions and a dovetailed groove formed in each wall side. The dovetail tongue of a connecting plate fits into the dovetailed groove. At the lower end of the internal surface of each wall of the stone, a shoulder portion may be provided for accommodating base elements. The height of the connecting plate is advantageously greater than the height of the trough-shaped stone, so that the plate projects beyond the stone in a vertical direction for connection to further stones. With such an assembly, it is possible to erect dry-stone type walls of various types. The individual elements of the assembly can be produced rationally and economically, and it is also possible to produce end elements and corner elements from the trough-shaped stones by cleaving the stones along grooves provided for such purpose.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A set of elements for interconnected constructions with a square through stone (1) which comprises on its four sides (3) the groove (4) of a dovetailing as well as a connecting piece with dovetail tongues, characterized in that the connecting piece is a connecting plate (13) which comprises in each of its two large sides a dovetail tongue (13) and the height of which is greater than the height of the through stone, and in that the corners (2) of the through stone are bevelled.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A set of elements for interconnected constructions with a square through stone (1) which comprises on its four sides (3) the groove (4) of a dovetailing as well as a connecting piece with dovetail tongues, characterized in that the connecting piece is a connecting plate (13) which comprises in each of its two large sides a dovetail tongue (13) and the height of which is greater than the height of the through stone, and in that the corners (2) of the through stone are bevelled.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A set of elements according to claim 1, characterized in that the corners (2) are bevelled at 45° and that they comprise in their center a V-shaped groove (9).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A set of elements according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the through stone (1) is cut open at the location of the V-shaped grooves (9) for forming four end elements (11).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A set of elements according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the through stone (1) is cut open in the center of the dovetail grooves (4) for forming four corner elements (17).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
66 words
A set of elements according to one of the claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the through stone (1) and the end element (11) comprise each at their upper side, at the location of the dovetail grooves (4), each a through going groove (6) and on each side of the latter a recess (7) which is partly closed toward the outside by an abutment (8).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A set of elements according to one of the claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the through stone (1) comprises a shoulder (5) at the bottom of each internal side for receiving ground elements (14).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A set of elements according to claim 6, characterized in that two ground elements (14) fit in a through stone (1).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A set of elements according to one of the claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the lateral length (S) of the through stone, measured between the V-shaped grooves (9), is 50 cm and the height (H) of the through stone is 25 cm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
80 words
A set of elements according to one of the claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the height of the connecting plate (12) exceeds the height (H) of the through stone by twice the depth of the through going groove (6) or of the recess (7) and that the great side (15) at the top of the connecting plate is stepped on both sides by an amount which corresponds to the thickness of the shoulder (5) in the through stone.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
84 words
Utilization of the set of elements according to one of the claims 1 to 9 for the erection of dry-type walls, more particularly sound-proofing walls which are capable of accomodating plants on both sides, characterized in that in horizontal direction a through stone (1) is respectively connected to a connecting plate (12) which, in turn, is connected to a through stone and the stone layer situated thereon is off set by one of these elements, a corner element (17) being utilized in the corners.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
64 words
Utilization of the set of elements according to one of the claims 1 to 9 for the erection of a sloping wall (Fig. 8), wherein the connecting plate (12) overlaps the respective through stones (1) downwardly and engages in two opposite recesses (7) at the upper side of the through stones, so that the upper stone layer is off set and is laterally secured.
