US4349293A — Compound block kit

Claim 1

Independent Claim 118 words

Compound block kit comprising compound blocks; said compound blocks having similar cross-sectional form and size and having a height variable from the height of cobblestones to a height substantially above the surface of cobblestones corresponding to palisade height; said compound blocks having edge-teeth extending about the entire block circumference and being meshingly engageable with one another, neighboring compound blocks being meshed by engagement of corresponding edge-teeth on the block circumferences for holding the blocks firmly in place and for mutually supporting each other, meshing of neighboring compound blocks forming interlocking of the blocks to result in a homogeneous combination so that blocks at the height of cobblestones can firmly support blocks with heights substantially above heights of cobblestones.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 118 words

Compound block kit as defined in claim 1, wherein said palisade compound block has on a longitudinal end of the block a depression with a circumferentially complete margin.

Claim 12

Dependent Claim 35 words

Compound block kit as defined in claim 10, said depression being shaped as a planting depression and of round cross-section and having a diameter of substantially 10 cm and a depth of substantially 10-20 cm.

Claim 13

Dependent Claim 27 words

Compound block kit according to claim 10, wherein said circumferential margin of said depression is located in the region of its bottom with at least one passage.

Claim 14

Dependent Claim 25 words

Compound block kit as defined in claim 12, wherein said passage extends from said depression substantially radially outwardly and is inclined in a downward direction.

Claim 15

Dependent Claim 22 words

Compound block kit as defined in claim 12, wherein in said passage there is embedded in the concrete a venting dewatering tube.

Claim 16

Dependent Claim 80 words

Compound block kit comprising compound blocks; said compound blocks having similar cross-sectional form and size and having a height variable from the height of cobblestones to a height substantially above the surface of cobblestones corresponding to palisade height; said compound blocks having edge-teeth extending about the entire block circumference and being meshingly engageable with one another; said palisade compound blocks comprising fountain elements penetrated in longitudinal direction by at least one channel open at a longitudinal end of the blocks.

Claim 17

Dependent Claim 80 words

Compound block kit comprising compound blocks; said compound blocks having similar cross-sectional form and size and having a height variable from the height of cobblestones to a height substantially above the surface of cobblestones corresponding to palisade height; said compound blocks having edge-teeth extending about the entire block circumference and being meshingly engageable with one another; said palisade compound blocks comprising fountain elements penetrated in longitudinal direction by at least one channel open at a longitudinal end of the blocks.

Claim 18

Dependent Claim 32 words

Compound block kit as defined in claim 15, wherein said palisade compound blocks have in the region of said opening of said channel a recess in a longitudinal end of the blocks.

Claim 19
