Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides an architectural block which comprises two opposed side walls and at least two parallel partitions positioned between the side walls perpendicular thereto. The partitions and side walls define chambers within the block, and a groove is formed in one edge of each of the partitions. The chambers are filled with a foaming agent comprising a lightweight heat insulator and moisture-proof material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
An architectural block comprising: a. two opposed side walls; b. at least two parallel partitions positioned between said side walls perpendicular thereto, said partitions and side walls defining chambers within said block; c. groove means, formed in one edge of each of said partitions, for receiving therethrough a hollow pipe means for carrying a foamable synthetic resin composition into said chambers from the exterior of said block; and d. a pipe means in each of said groove means for preventing damage to the portion of said partition on the periphery of said groove means, said hollow pipe means passing through the interior of said pipe means when it is received through said groove means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 114 words
An architectural block comprising: a. two opposed side walls; b. at least two parallel partitions positioned between said side walls perpendicular thereto, said partitions and side walls defining chambers within said block; c. groove means, formed in one edge of each of said partitions, for receiving therethrough a hollow pipe means for carrying a foamable synthetic resin composition into said chambers from the exterior of said block; and d. a pipe means in each of said groove means for preventing damage to the portion of said partition on the periphery of said groove means, said hollow pipe means passing through the interior of said pipe means when it is received through said groove means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 10 words
The block of claim 1, wherein said block is concrete.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The block of claim 1, wherein said block has the shape of a rectangular solid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The block of claim 1, wherein a recess is formed between the end portions of said side walls and at least one of said partitions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim 152 words
A structural member including a plurality of architectural blocks, said member comprising: a. a plurality of blocks aligned in at least one row, each block including two opposed side walls, at least two parallel partitions between said side walls and perpendicular thereto, said partitions and side walls defining chambers within said block and groove means, formed in one edge of each of said partitions, wherein the groove means in each row of said blocks are aligned with each other, said groove means having a removable hollow pipe means therethrough for carrying a foamable synthetic resin composition into said chambers from the exterior of said block during the construction of said wall; b. cover plate means extending between the outside ends of the first blocks at the end of each said row; and c. a foamable synthetic resin composition within said chambers, said composition comprising a lightweight heat insulator and moisture proof material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 152 words
A structural member including a plurality of architectural blocks, said member comprising: a. a plurality of blocks aligned in at least one row, each block including two opposed side walls, at least two parallel partitions between said side walls and perpendicular thereto, said partitions and side walls defining chambers within said block and groove means, formed in one edge of each of said partitions, wherein the groove means in each row of said blocks are aligned with each other, said groove means having a removable hollow pipe means therethrough for carrying a foamable synthetic resin composition into said chambers from the exterior of said block during the construction of said wall; b. cover plate means extending between the outside ends of the first blocks at the end of each said row; and c. a foamable synthetic resin composition within said chambers, said composition comprising a lightweight heat insulator and moisture proof material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 11 words
