Benefits of technology

[0015]Cultured stone blocks can be used in a variety of types of construction. Its aesthetic features make it desirable for residential construction, and its strength makes it ideal for commercial construction. Cultured stone blocks are ideal for agricultural use because they will not deteriorate through contact with animal waste or organic materials. Animal barns made of wood or steel can be damaged by animal urine and feces. Wood rots and metal rusts or oxidizes. Wood barns are

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein. It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention and that the invention may be embodied in various and alternative forms. Therefore, specified structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limitations, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.

[0023]FIG. 1 shows a form 10 used for creating the cultured stone blocks 60. The form 10 has four sides, a top 20, a bottom 30, a right side 40, and a left side 50. There is no “front side” or “back side” of the form 10. In use, the form 10 will lie on the ground 70 and the face 65 of the block 60 will be created when concrete 100, or other pourable structural material, is poured into the form 10 as described below. The concrete 100 will be poured into the back opening in the form 10 and when f...

Abstract

A method for constructing a building made from site specific cultured stone blocks is disclosed. The site specific cultured stone blocks are created by placing an open form on prepared ground covered by plastic sheeting and pouring in concrete into the open form. The pressure of the concrete on the plastic sheeting imparts the contours and details of the ground onto the facing of the block, creating a non-uniform facing that corresponds to the features of the ground. In one embodiment the blocks also contain a tongue and groove configuration to aid alignment of the blocks and to give added stability, strength and general air tightness. Many types of buildings and structures can be constructed with these blocks.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 068,648 filed on Mar. 7, 2008.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT[0003]Not Applicable.INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC[0004]Not Applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0005]The present invention relates to a method for building on site cultured stone block buildings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0006]Buildings have been made of stone blocks since before recorded time. These blocks were made of stone cut into block shapes, typically cubes or six sided rectangular blocks, and the blocks stacked. In many cases the blocks were connected with an adhesive or cement mortar that allowed the blocks to be securely and essentially permanently attached. In some cases, if the blocks were sufficiently uniform, there was no need for any type of mort...
