EROSION CONTROL MAT, WRAP FOR CONSTRUCTING THE SAME, AND BLOCK

Description

The wrapping illustrated in Figure 1 forms a sphere of separate blocks for the purpose of SUPERPOSITION OF SURFACES, WHICH INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ITS USE AS A SPHERE OF EROSION CONTROL TO COVER AND STABILIZE LAND SURFACES SUBJECTED TO WATER EROSION, INCLUDING LAND SLOPES, WATER FLOW CHANNELS, LINES COASTLINES, AND UNDERWATER SURFACES, AS WELL AS A SEPARATION AND VERTICAL DRAINAGE LAYER FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS UNDER A LARGE DROP, A BALLAST LAYER TO PROVIDE WEIGHT TO SUNK OTHER MATERIAL THAT WOULD NORMALLY FLOAT AND AS A PROTECTIVE / DRAINAGE LAYER VERTICAL ON SAID MATERIAL. THE ENVELOPE HAS A LAYER AND A PLURALITY OF CENTRAL PORTIONS SEPARATED BY CRUCIFORM PORTIONS, WHICH, WHEN FILLED WITH A CURABLE FLUID MATERIAL, FORMS A SEPARATE BLOCK MAT. THE WRAP CAN BE FORMED FROM A WOVEN FABRIC MATERIAL. The shading has been applied for illustrative purposes and the shading lines themselves THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE CLAIMED INVENTION. 113 The block illustrated in Figure 8 is a fiber wrapping containing material ENDURECICLE CURABLE. THE BLOCK HAS OPPOSITE MEDIAL FRONTAL AND POSTERIOR CANALS IN OPPOSITE SIDES AND OPPOSITE MEDIAL LATERAL CANALS OF THE FRONT AND POSTERIOR TO RECEIVE A FLOW OF A CEMENTITIOUS MATERIAL THAT CURES INSIDE IT TO A STATE HARDENED, DUCTS THAT DEFINE FOUR CORNER ELEMENTS IN THE BLOCK, EACH WITH A SLOPE CURVE AT A DIAGONAL VERTEX FROM AN OUTSIDE CORNER TO AN OPPOSITE CORNER INTERIOR, FOUR INTERMEDIATE SIDE ELEMENTS BETWEEN A RESPECTIVE PAIR OF ELEMENTS ADJACENT CORNERS WITH CURVED SLOPES AND A MEDIAL VERTEX OF THE CORNER ELEMENTS AND A TAPER TOWARDS ONE SIDE OF THE CHANNEL OF A CENTRAL ELEMENT HAVING A CONTOUR SLIGHTLY ELEVATED TO A VERTEX. FIGURE 12 ILLUSTRATES A FIRST EMBODIMENT OF AN EROSION CONTROL SPHERE WITH ADJACENT BLOCKS OF THE INTERCONNECTED BLOCKS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SIDES. FIGURE 14 ILLUSTRATES A SECOND REALIZATION OF A CONTROL SPHERE EROSION WITH ADJACENT BLOCKS OF THE INTERCONNECTED BLOCKS ON THEIR RESPECTIVE SIDES. The erosion control sphere can be used, but without limitation, to cover and stabilize. LAND SURFACES SUBJECT TO WATER EROSION, SEPARATION LAYER AND DRAINAGE VERTICAL FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING WATER CHANNELS, AND A BALLAST LAYER FOR To sink other material that would normally float and as a protective layer / vertical drain over SAID MATERIAL.
