Embodiment Construction

[0034] As illustrated in FIG. 11, the preferred embodiment of the block 10A discloses a rectangular block with a top end, a bottom end, and two sides. One side defines a raised tongue 106 while the opposite side defines a recessed groove 107, whereby blocks can be assembled in a successive fashion by fitting a tongue side into a groove side. In addition, the block 10A includes electrical conduit 200 and electrical boxes 201 for running electrical wire and making electrical connections. While the preferred embodiment discloses electrical conduit 200 and electrical boxes 201, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that any multitude of items normally used inside building walls may be substituted, such as plumbing piping, air ducts, and the like. The ability of the block 10A to contain electrical conduit and electrical boxes makes it ideal for use as an interior wall in buildings.

Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing lightweight concrete composite blocks includes a form, a station conveyor, a form-loading station, a form assembly station, a curing oven, and a block removal station. The station conveyor conveys the form or a multitude of forms around the apparatus in a continuous loop to produce a desired rate of production of lightweight concrete composite blocks. The form-loading station fills the form with a lightweight concrete composite. The form assembly station assembles the form to seal the composite within the form. The curing oven cures the lightweight concrete composite into a lightweight concrete composite block. The block removal station removes the lightweight concrete composite block from the form prior to the return of the form to the form-loading station for re-use.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09 / 887,369, which was filed Jun. 22, 2001.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to lightweight concrete and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to unitary lightweight concrete composite blocks, an apparatus and corresponding method for manufacturing unitary lightweight concrete composite blocks, and a method of using unitary lightweight concrete composite blocks. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] The primary building materials utilized today are wood and concrete. Wood unfortunately has become extremely expensive due to reduced supplies caused by restrictions resulting from today's environmentally conscious society. Further, wood often does not provide the structural safety available from other building materials, such as concrete. Concrete is unfortunately expensive, which restricts i...
