Benefits of technology

[0006]The block incorporates engineering designs that create non-linear thermal paths across the block, thereby extending and increasing the thermal mass properties by offsetting and restricting the cross webbing of the block. Details include electrical, rebar and grout reinforcement systems, post-tension systems, dry stacked or mortared, foam filled or not. Typically, foam fills a majority of the interior and all of the exterior cavities, increasing insulation values, and filling voids creating a relatively solid unit. The system has no wood or sheetrock requirements. As an inorganic block wall system it is not food or fuel for mold, termite

Embodiment Construction

[0042]As used herein, the words “comprise,”“has,” and “include” and all grammatical variations thereof are each intended to have an open, non-limiting meaning that does not exclude additional elements or steps.

[0043]In general, as used herein, words describing relative orientation or position, such as “inward,”“outward,”“head” or “end,”“top” and “bottom,” and similar terms regarding various elements in the views of the drawing are with respect to the perspective of a block as it is to be normally used in the position as shown in FIGS. 1-4, wherein an electrical outlet box would normally be positioned as shown in FIG. 4 toward the interior side of a wall made with the blocks. It is to be understood, of course, that a block could be used in an upside down orientation, as in the header for a window or door in a wall formed of the blocks.

[0044]The same reference numerals or used for similar parts in the various embodiments of the invention and as shown in the Figures of the drawing.

Abstract

According to one aspect of the invention, a block for building construction is provided. The block includes: a molded body formed of an inorganic material, wherein the molded body defines (a) a rectangular-box shape; (b) non-linear thermal paths of the body material across the block by offsetting and restricting the cross webbing of the block; and (c) at least two cavities in the block. According to another aspect, a block for building construction is provided, wherein the block includes: a molded body formed of an inorganic material, wherein the molded body defines (a) a rectangular-box shape; (b) at least two cavities in the block; and wherein the block has nominal dimensions of 6″×6″×24″.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60,805,152 filed on Jun. 19, 2006.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicableREFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX[0003]Not applicableSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]Standard concrete block are referred to as “concrete masonry units” or “CMU”. Insulated concrete block are sometimes referred to as “ICMU”.[0005]However, block is not limited to cement based mixes. Block may be derived item glass, plastic, clay, etc, therefore “block” herein refers to all block, insulated or not, with or with out cement.[0006]The block incorporates engineering designs that create non-linear thermal paths across the block, thereby extending and increasing the thermal mass properties by offsetting and restricting the cross webbing of the block. Details include electrical, rebar and grout reinforcement systems, post-tension systems, dry stacked or...
