Abstract
Description
State of the art
[0001] The invention relates to a laying grid for a laying stone, a laying stone, and a laying stone bond with laying stones having such a laying grid.
[0002] Paving stones are known in a variety of designs. Paving stones can have spacers, such as cams, which are designed to interlock with spacers of adjacent stones. In this way, the spacers of one paving stone engage in the gaps between the spacers of the neighboring stone. Spacers allow, for example, a minimum distance between the paving stones to be maintained during installation, enabling rainwater to seep into the subsoil through the resulting joints. Furthermore, the spacers act as a locking mechanism to prevent the paving stones from shifting, tilting, or twisting during use, thus increasing the stability of a paving pattern formed from such stones. Such paving stones are known, for example, from EP 1432871 B1.
[0003] Furthermore, paving stones with an irregular hexagonal cross-section are known, for example, from DE 4232300 A1 and DE 3303225 A1.
[0004] Corresponding building kits with such paving stones are also known in numerous variations.
[0005] Furthermore, kits containing several matching paving stones with different cross-sections for creating an irregular surface pattern are known.
[0006] Furthermore, laying grids for paving stones are known, which can facilitate the planning of a surface pattern. Disclosure of the invention
[0007] The object of the invention is to create a layout grid with which irregular surface patterns can be generated, whereby several layout grids can be easily and / or intuitively placed next to each other.
[0008] Another task is to provide a paving stone that, as intended, creates an irregular surface pattern in a paving stone bond and can be easily and intuitively laid with other paving stones to form a paving stone bond.
[0009] Another task is to provide a paving stone pattern with irregular surface patterns.
[0010] The problems are solved by the features of the independent claims. Favorable embodiments and advantages of the invention become apparent from the further claims, the description, and the drawings.
[0011] The laying grid and the paving stone according to the invention share the characteristic that a cross-section of the laying grid and a visible cross-section of the paving stone are designed as irregular hexagons. This hexagon is composed of two obtuse triangles and a parallelogram. This irregular hexagon is advantageously easy to construct. Furthermore, several such hexagons can be advantageously and intuitively placed next to each other. Moreover, several such hexagons arranged side by side form an attractive irregular surface pattern.
[0012] According to one aspect of the invention, a laying grid for a paving stone is proposed. The laying grid is represented two-dimensionally and comprises a cross-section of a base body of the paving stone and half the laying distance to adjacent paving stones arranged in a paving stone bond, extending around this cross-section.
[0013] The half laying distance can, for example, depend on a shape and / or an arrangement of at least one cam which is arranged on the base body of the laying stone and / or on a shape and / or orientation of side surfaces of the base body of the laying stone.
[0014] The publisher's grid is formed as an irregular hexagon, composed of two obtuse triangles and a parallelogram. The parallelogram has two opposite sides that form the bases of the obtuse triangles. Furthermore, the parallelogram has two other opposite sides that form the outline of the publisher's grid.
[0015] The obtuse triangles each comprise two legs that form an obtuse angle opposite the respective base and that define the sides of the layout grid. For example, at least one of the obtuse triangles can be convexly oriented outwards and placed on top of the parallelogram. Additionally or alternatively, at least one of the obtuse triangles can be concavely oriented inwards and can intersect the parallelogram.
[0016] In the following, a laying grid is understood to be a two-dimensional construct with which a surface can theoretically be covered. The laying grid is designed such that the outlines of adjacent laying grids abut each other without gaps. Since the cross-section of the paving stone and half the laying distance are taken into account in the laying grid according to the invention, a floor covering and / or a paving stone pattern and / or a surface pattern can be easily planned using these laying grids.
[0017] The outline of the publisher's grid comprises the two opposite sides of the parallelogram, which do not form bases for the obtuse triangles, and the four legs of the two obtuse triangles. The shape of the publisher's grid outline can advantageously be easily varied and changed by altering the shape of the two obtuse triangles. Furthermore, it is conceivable to modify the parallelogram to vary the outline of the publisher's grid.
[0018] Several identical laying grids are arranged in such a way that laying grids in a row, with the sides of the parallelogram that do not form bases for the obtuse triangles, abut each other. Advantageously, the opposite sides of the parallelogram are of equal length and aligned parallel to each other, so that adjacent laying grids are flush with these sides.
[0019] The adjacent rows comprise identical laying grids, each rotated 180° relative to the vertical direction, so that identical obtuse triangles face each other. Adjacent laying grids in neighboring rows are offset from one another. Advantageously, the placement of identical obtuse triangles can be performed simply and intuitively.
[0020] By orienting identical obtuse triangles towards each other, the first legs of the first triangles of grid layers arranged in a row can abut the first legs of the first triangles of grid layers arranged in an adjacent row. The second legs of the first triangles of grid layers arranged in a row can abut the second legs of the first triangles of grid layers arranged in an adjacent row. Furthermore, the first legs of the second triangles of grid layers arranged in a row can abut the first legs of the second triangles of grid layers arranged in an adjacent row, and the second legs of the second triangles of grid layers arranged in a row can abut the second legs of the second triangles of grid layers arranged in an adjacent row.
[0021] Since the legs of adjacent triangles are always the same, and therefore adjacent legs have the same dimensions and orientations, these areas of neighboring grids also advantageously align flush. This allows for a seamless alignment of the grids.
[0022] The term "half-laying distance" as used below refers to an area arranged around the cross-section of the paving stone and composed of several sections. Each side wall of the corresponding paving stone can be assigned at least one such section of the half-laying distance. These sections, together with the cross-section of the paving stone, are arranged within the corresponding paving grid or form the hexagonal shape of the corresponding paving grid. If two paving grids are adjacent, adjacent sections of the half-laying distance can define the shape and course of a joint between the paving stones in that area. The resulting joints can have any shape, as long as the cross-section of the paving stone and the half-laying distance together fill the irregular hexagon of the corresponding paving grid.
[0023] Advantageously, for the laying grid, it makes no difference whether the cross-section of the corresponding paving stone tapers or widens vertically or changes in any other way, since the corresponding section of half the laying distance becomes correspondingly narrower or wider. Furthermore, the outline of the paving stone's cross-section can have curved sides, as the shape of half the laying distance can also be adjusted accordingly.
[0024] Using a grid system according to the invention, irregular surface patterns can advantageously be formed, which look and feel different depending on the viewing angle. This is possible with a single type of grid system. It is no longer necessary to combine several grid systems to achieve an irregular surface pattern.
[0025] In the following, a surface pattern or laying pattern is understood to be the interplay of visible outlines and surfaces of the laying stones and the joints running between the laying stones.
[0026] The publishing grid according to the invention can be advantageously constructed simply. First, the parallelogram of the irregular hexagon can be provided. For the following explanation, it is assumed for clarity that the two opposite sides of the parallelogram forming the bases are designed as stretchable rubber bands. The ends of the rubber bands are each fixed to the corresponding vertex of the parallelogram. The rubber band can be stretched or contracted as desired. The rubber band forming the base can be pulled outwards from the parallelogram at any point between the fixed ends, so that the section being pulled out forms the vertex of the obtuse triangle, and the two legs of a convex triangle placed on top of the parallelogram are formed between this vertex and the two vertices of the parallelogram.
[0027] Alternatively, the rubber band forming the base can be pulled inwards into the parallelogram at any point between the fixed end areas, so that the area that is pulled into the parallelogram forms the corner of the obtuse triangle and the two legs of a concave triangle are formed between this corner and the two corners of the parallelogram, which intersects the parallelogram.
[0028] The height of the triangle can be chosen almost arbitrarily. The further the obtuse angle is from the base, the greater the height and the larger the area of the resulting triangle appears. Furthermore, the obtuse angle of the triangle can be positioned anywhere between the two vertices of the parallelogram. The closer the angle is to an end of the rubber band, the shorter the corresponding leg.
[0029] With appropriate simulation programs, an attractive, irregular, hexagonal laying grid can thus be quickly created.
[0030] The irregular hexagon creates irregular and unusual-looking surface patterns. The more different the two obtuse triangles are, the more irregular the surface pattern appears.
[0031] The cross-section of the paving stone can have the same shape as the paving grid, so that the sides of the visible outline of the paving stone and the sides of the outline of the paving grid can run parallel to each other. However, it is also possible for the cross-section of the paving stone to have a different shape than the paving grid. The lugs arranged on the base of the paving stone, or at least one lug arranged on the base of the paving stone, can have a compensating shape and / or a compensating arrangement on the paving stone, so that the half-paving spacing dependent on the lugs, together with the cross-section of the paving stone, results in the irregular hexagonal shape of the paving grid.
[0032] With a favorable design of the grid, the two obtuse triangles can differ from each other. For example, the two obtuse triangles can differ at least in the size of their respective obtuse angles, which are formed by the two legs that each define one side of the grid's outline. Additionally or alternatively, the obtuse triangles can differ in height. In this way, irregular-looking hexagons can be formed, which in turn create an irregular surface pattern. Alternatively, the first obtuse triangle can be a mirror image of the second obtuse triangle, or vice versa, with the reflection occurring at the base. It is also possible for the first triangle to be a version of the second triangle rotated by 180°, or vice versa.
[0033] With a favorable design of the laying grid, both obtuse triangles can be oriented convexly outwards. This allows for the creation of interesting laying patterns.
[0034] With a favorable design of the laying grid, both obtuse triangles can be oriented concavely inwards. This allows for the creation of further interesting laying patterns.
[0035] With a favorable design of the layout grid, one of the obtuse triangles can be oriented convexly outwards and one of the obtuse triangles can be oriented concavely inwards. In this case, the resulting hexagon advantageously appears irregular even if the two triangles are identical.
[0036] With a favorable design of the grid, the lengths of all legs of the obtuse triangles can differ. This makes it easier to clearly identify which legs should be adjacent when multiple grids are placed next to each other. Furthermore, different leg lengths provide a control mechanism that prevents grids from being incorrectly aligned when multiple grids are placed next to each other. Alternatively, in addition to the two sides of the grid's outline formed by the parallelogram, two of the legs of the triangles can also be of equal length.
[0037] For example, one of the obtuse triangles might be an isosceles triangle, or one of the legs of the first triangle might be the same length as one of the legs of the second triangle. This can make aligning the grids more difficult, but it can also create other interesting grid shapes.
[0038] With a favorable layout of the grid, the irregular hexagon can have six angles of varying sizes. Two of these angles correspond to the obtuse angles of the obtuse triangles. The other four angles are composed of one of the angles of the triangles and the respective angle of the parallelogram at that vertex. Alternatively, the hexagon can also have only four angles of varying sizes. In this case, two of the angles of the hexagon are the same size.
[0039] With a favorable design of the grid, in convexly oriented obtuse triangles, the sum of the obtuse angle enclosed by the legs and the two angles of the two adjacent vertices can each equal 360°. Adjacent vertices are defined as the vertices of the hexagon that share vertices of the same obtuse triangle. Because the sum of the angles of adjacent vertices is 360°, three grids can be arranged side by side without gaps forming between the sides of the respective outlines or the sides overlapping.
[0040] With a favorable design of the layout grid, in the case of concave obtuse triangles, the obtuse angle enclosed by the legs can correspond to the sum of the angles of adjacent vertices of the irregular hexagon. This allows three layout grids to be arranged side by side without gaps forming between the respective sides of the outlines or the sides of the outlines overlapping. In this case, the adjacent vertices interlock with the corresponding section of the parallelogram, which has the shape of the concave obtuse triangle.
[0041] The laying grid according to the invention advantageously allows for the creation of irregular surface patterns that appear and function differently depending on the viewing angle. This is possible with a single type of laying grid. It is no longer necessary to combine multiple laying grids to achieve an irregular surface pattern. Furthermore, several partial stones, which represent the cross-section and half the laying distance of the paving stone composed of these partial stones, can be fitted into the laying grid. This allows partial stones to be integrated into a surface pattern or a paving stone bond.
[0042] According to a further aspect of the invention, a paving stone, particularly made of concrete, is proposed for creating a ground cover. The paving stone can be a paving stone, a tile, a slab, or any other suitable covering. The paving stone comprises a base body with a top and a bottom, as well as side surfaces arranged between the top and the bottom, wherein a cross-section of the base body visible from above is formed as an irregular hexagon composed of two obtuse triangles and a parallelogram. The parallelogram has two opposite sides that form the bases of the obtuse triangles. The parallelogram has two further opposite sides that form the sides of an outline of the visible cross-section of the paving stone.The obtuse triangles each comprise two legs, which enclose an obtuse angle opposite the respective base and which form sides of the outline of the visible cross-section of the base body. The two obtuse triangles differ at least in the size of the respective obtuse angles enclosed by the two legs.
[0043] The more differently the obtuse triangles are shaped, the easier it is to lay the paving stones, because a paver can more easily see which triangles need to face each other.
[0044] Typically, the top side of the paving stone has the visible cross-section.
[0045] The construction of such a hexagon, which forms the visible cross-section of the base body, can be carried out in the same way as the construction of the hexagon that forms the laying grid. The only difference between these hexagons is that the hexagon forming the visible cross-section of the base body has different obtuse triangles. Therefore, it should be noted during construction that two different obtuse triangles are created.
[0046] The advantages of the laying grid according to the invention also apply to the laying stone according to the invention and will not be repeated here.
[0047] The irregular hexagon creates irregular and unusual-looking surface patterns. The more different the two obtuse triangles of the visible outline of the paving stones are, the more irregular the surface pattern appears.
[0048] A single paving stone can be used to create advantageously irregular surface patterns that look and feel different depending on the viewing angle. This is possible with just one type of paving stone. It is no longer necessary to combine multiple paving stones to achieve an irregular surface pattern.
[0049] The outline of the more visible cross-section of the paving stone's base body comprises the two opposite sides of the parallelogram, which do not form bases for the obtuse triangles, and the four legs of the two obtuse triangles. The shape of the outline can advantageously be easily varied and changed by altering the shape of the two obtuse triangles. Furthermore, it is conceivable to modify the parallelogram to change the visible cross-section.
[0050] Several paving stones are arranged in such a way that paving stones in a row abut each other with the sides of the parallelogram that do not form bases for the obtuse triangles. Advantageously, the opposite sides of the parallelogram are of equal length and aligned parallel to each other, so that paving stones arranged side by side are flush with these sides.
[0051] The adjacent rows contain paving stones that are each rotated 180° to the vertical direction, so that identical obtuse triangles face each other. Furthermore, paving stones in adjacent rows that are arranged next to each other are also offset from one another.
[0052] Since the legs of the triangles, which face each other when laid as intended, are always the same and therefore have the same dimensions and orientations, these areas of adjacent paving stones also advantageously align flush. This allows for a uniform fit between the paving stones.
[0053] Joints are formed between the paving stones, the size of which depends on half the laying distance. A joint is formed from two adjacent segments of the laying distances of the paving stones' grid.
[0054] With a suitable design of the paving stone, both obtuse triangles can be oriented convexly outwards. Alternatively, both obtuse triangles can be oriented concavely inwards. Another option is to have one obtuse triangle oriented convexly outwards and the other concavely inwards. This allows for the advantageous creation of many interesting visible cross-sections.
[0055] With a suitable design of the laying stone, the lengths of all legs of the obtuse triangles of the hexagon can differ. Since identical legs of two laying stones always face each other or are placed side by side during installation, different leg lengths can facilitate identification and thus make installation more intuitive. Alternatively, in addition to the two sides of the parallelogram that form the outline of the visible cross-section, two of the legs of the obtuse triangles can also be of equal length. For example, one of the obtuse triangles can be an isosceles triangle, or one of the legs of the first obtuse triangle can be the same length as one of the legs of the second obtuse triangle.
[0056] With a suitable design of the paving stone, the hexagon, and thus the visible cross-section, can have six angles of varying sizes. Two of these angles correspond to the obtuse angles of the obtuse triangles. The other four angles are composed of one of the angles of the triangles and the respective angle of the parallelogram at that corner. Alternatively, two of the angles of the plan view can be equal.
[0057] With a favorable design of the paving stone, in the case of convexly oriented obtuse triangles, the sum of the obtuse angle enclosed by the legs and the two angles of the two adjacent vertices can each equal 360°. Adjacent vertices are defined as the vertices of the hexagon that share vertices of the same obtuse triangle. Because the sum of the angles of adjacent vertices is 360°, three paving stones can be laid at the desired distance from each other.
[0058] With a favorable design of the paving stone, in the case of concave obtuse triangles, the obtuse angle enclosed by the legs can correspond to the sum of the angles of adjacent vertices of the irregular hexagon. Here, the adjacent vertices intersect the corresponding section of the parallelogram, which has the shape of the obtuse triangle.
[0059] According to a favorable embodiment of the paving stone, a laying grid of the paving stone can be designed like one of the laying grids already described according to the invention and can have the cross-section of the base body visible from above and half the laying distance around the base body. For example, the outline of the laying grid can be an enlargement of the outline of the visible cross-section of the base body. The visible cross-section can be arranged centrally or offset from the center in the laying grid. The laying grid can facilitate the planning of a surface pattern with such a paving stone.
[0060] With a favorable design, the paving stone can have at least one recess on its upper surface. This recess can advantageously be planted, thereby increasing the proportion of greenery in the surface pattern. The recess can be a reduced version of the outline of the visible cross-section or any other shape.
[0061] With a favorable design, the paving stone can be formed in multiple parts, consisting of at least two sub-stones, the partial outlines of which, when assembled, form the outline of the paving stone. The sub-stones can also advantageously be laid separately.
[0062] With a favorable design of the paving stone, two partial stones can each have a pentagonal outline, which includes one of the obtuse triangles and a portion of the parallelogram. The two partial stones can be joined along sides parallel to the respective bases of the corresponding obtuse triangles. A joint can be provided between the partial stones.
[0063] According to a favorable design of the laying stone, at least one side surface can have at least one lug, wherein at least one of the lugs projects beyond the laying grid of the laying stone.
[0064] By projecting beyond the laying grid, the lug can interlock with the lugs of adjacent paving stones. This interlocking action ensures a secure anchoring of the corresponding paving stones, thus providing reliable protection against displacement once laid. This prevents the paving stones from twisting or tilting in the installed state. Since the depth of at least one lug can determine the distance to a neighboring paving stone, the lug can also influence the width of a joint.
[0065] Additionally or alternatively, the lug can rest against the lugs of adjacent paving stones or against a side surface of adjacent paving stones. Furthermore, the depth of at least one lug can define a dimension or area of a section corresponding to half the laying distance in that area. It is also conceivable that lugs could be arranged as spacers on the side surfaces, either detachably or permanently, and serve solely as packaging protection. Such lugs prevent paving stones on a pallet from being pushed against each other within their layer, thus advantageously preventing damage to the corners of the paving stones.
[0066] A cam is a projection that extends from the corresponding face. The cam's height runs parallel to the stone's height. Its width runs parallel to the longitudinal dimension of the corresponding face. The cam's depth is perpendicular to the face spanned by the stone's height and longitudinal dimension. The depth of the cam is defined as the distance between the highest point of the cam's face and the corresponding face. Each cam has two flanks that merge into the cam's face. The flanks of a cam can have different steepness and / or shapes. Alternatively, a cam can be mirror-symmetrical with identical flanks.
[0067] Depending on the design of the paving stone, the side faces can each have either first or second lugs, with the first lugs having a shallower depth than the second lugs. The area of the visible cross-section is selectable depending on the specified laying grid and the depth of the respective lugs. The larger the lugs, the larger the half-laying distance and the smaller the area of the visible cross-section must be if the paving stone is to be laid in the same grid as a paving stone with smaller lugs. A kit can be designed with various paving stones that differ in the size and / or arrangement of the lugs and thus in the area of the visible cross-section, but which share the same laying grid: It is possible for a paving stone to have only one type of lug or several types of lugs.In this configuration, one side face can have first cams and another side face can have second cams. Alternatively, all side faces can have first cams or all side faces can have second cams. Furthermore, the depth of the first cams can differ slightly. Likewise, the depth of the second cams can differ slightly.
[0068] With a favorable design of the paving stone, the lugs do not all lie on a circular path. This has the advantage over lugs on a uniform hexagon that no twisting occurs due to applied forces, since at least one lug counteracts the applied force, regardless of the direction from which the force acts on the paving stone. This anti-displacement, anti-rotation, and / or anti-tilting mechanism allows a pattern of laid paving stones to be driven over, for example, without the paving stones shifting out of position.
[0069] In a favorable design of the paving stone, each side of the outline formed by the parallelogram can be assigned a lateral surface of the base body. These lateral surfaces can each have at least two first lugs. A projection of at least one of the first lugs arranged on one lateral surface onto the opposite lateral surface lies essentially in a gap between two first lugs arranged on the opposite lateral surface. This advantageously enables the first lugs of adjacent paving stones to interlock when laid as intended. Furthermore, this interlocking allows for verification that the paving stones are laid correctly.
[0070] According to a favorable embodiment of the paving stone, each side of the outline formed by the parallelogram can be assigned a lateral surface of the base body. At least one of these lateral surfaces can have at least one second cam, wherein the second cams have at least two sub-cams. A projection of at least one of the sub-cams of the at least one second cam arranged on one lateral surface onto the opposite lateral surface can essentially lie in a gap between two sub-cams of the at least one second cam arranged on the opposite lateral surface. In this case, opposing second cams can interlock with each other via the sub-cams, and the corresponding, adjacent paving stones can be protected against displacement and / or tilting at the corresponding lateral surface.
[0071] Additionally, one of the side faces can have first cams. In this case, a projection of at least one of the sub-cams of the at least one second cam arranged on one side face onto the opposite side face can lie essentially in a gap between two first cams arranged on the opposite side face. Here, opposing second cams and first cams can interlock with each other via the sub-cams, and the corresponding, adjacent paving stones can be protected against displacement and / or tilting on the corresponding side face.
[0072] The interlocking of the sub-lugs with each other and with the first lugs ensures that the paving stones remain anchored in place during normal use, thus increasing the stability of a paving pattern laid with such stones. Furthermore, the interlocking mechanism allows for verification that the paving stones are laid correctly. The sub-lugs can be of the same depth or of different depths. Additionally, the arrangement of the sub-lugs on the face of the second lug is freely selectable as long as they can interlock with lugs on the opposite side.
[0073] The depth of a sub-nock is defined as the distance between the face of the corresponding second nock and the highest point of the face of the corresponding sub-nock, with this distance being perpendicular to the rock surface or the face of the corresponding second sub-nock. The depression between the sub-nocks is laterally bounded by the flanks of the adjacent sub-nocks. This gives the depression the appearance of a valley between two elevations. The shape of the depression depends, among other things, on the shape of the bounding flanks.
[0074] With a favorable design of the paving stone, each side of the outline formed by the legs of the obtuse triangles can be assigned a lateral surface of the base body. At least one of these lateral surfaces can have at least two first lugs, with at least one of the first lugs engaging a gap between the first lugs of the same lateral surface rotated 180° to the vertical axis. Thus, in the intended laid state, at least one first lug of a lateral surface can engage in a gap between the first lugs of an adjacent identical paving stone rotated 180° to the vertical axis.
[0075] This allows the first lugs of adjacent paving stones to interlock when laid as intended, thus providing protection against shifting and / or tilting on these side surfaces as well. This keeps the paving stones firmly anchored in place during normal use, increasing the stability of a paving pattern laid with these stones. Furthermore, the interlocking mechanism allows for verification that the paving stones have been laid correctly.
[0076] According to a favorable design of the paving stone, each side of the outline formed by the legs of the obtuse triangles can be assigned a lateral surface of the base body. At least one of these lateral surfaces can have at least a second lug with at least two sub-lugs, wherein at least one of the sub-lugs engages in a gap between sub-lugs of the same lateral surface rotated 180° to the vertical axis, so that, in the intended laid state, at least one sub-lug of a lateral surface engages in a gap between sub-lugs of an adjacent identical paving stone rotated 180° to the vertical axis. Alternatively, the sub-lugs can also engage in a gap between the first lugs of an adjacent paving stone rotated 180° to the vertical axis.This allows second cams to interlock with opposing first cams or opposing sub-cams via the sub-cams, and the corresponding adjacent paving stones can be protected against shifting and / or tilting on their corresponding side surfaces. This ensures that the paving stones remain anchored in place during normal use, thereby increasing the stability of a paving pattern laid with such paving stones. Furthermore, the interlocking mechanism allows for verification that the paving stones have been laid correctly.
[0077] With a favorable design of the paving stone, at least one lug can be arranged on an edge of the corresponding side surface. In this case, the lug can support the side surface and make it more difficult or completely prevent it from tilting.
[0078] With a favorable design of the paving stone, at least one lug can extend over a corresponding corner of adjacent side surfaces. This allows the lug to laterally support two side surfaces and protect them against tilting and / or twisting.
[0079] Besides preventing displacement, the arrangement of lugs on the side surfaces offers the advantage of a built-in check to ensure the paving stones are correctly aligned. For example, if the alignment is correct, the lugs interlock; if it is incorrect, they do not. This prevents paving stones from being laid with the wrong orientation relative to each other.
[0080] According to a further aspect of the invention, a kit consisting of a plurality of paving stones is proposed, which have at least one common, previously described, laying grid according to the invention. The paving stones can be designed like the previously described paving stones according to the invention. The kit can include several types of paving stones with the same laying grid in order to create a wide variety of surface patterns or laying patterns. Furthermore, the kit can include paving stones with different laying grids if the different laying grids can be combined with each other. This further increases the possibilities for creating a floor covering or earth covering. With such a kit, floor coverings or earth coverings can be easily planned and implemented that appear irregular and look different from different angles.Furthermore, there are numerous possible combinations.
[0081] The kit includes all the advantages of the layout grid, which will not be repeated here.
[0082] If the kit includes laying stones according to the invention, the kit also includes all the advantages of the laying stones, which are not repeated here.
[0083] Depending on the design of the kit, it can include partial paving stones. These can be arranged, for example, along the edge of a paving stone pattern to create a straight finish. Since the partial stones share a portion of the paving stone's footprint, they can also be positioned within a paving stone pattern to, for instance, increase the amount of greenery.
[0084] With a well-designed kit, at least one variation of the paving stones and / or partial stones can have a recess on one side. This recess can advantageously influence the appearance of the paving stone. Furthermore, the recess can be planted to increase the greenery component of the paving pattern.
[0085] With a favorable design of the kit, at least one variation of the paving stones and / or the partial stones can have at least one first lug on at least one side surface. The first lugs can interlock with other first lugs, thereby protecting a side surface of the paving stone against displacement and / or tilting. Furthermore, the interlocking allows for verification that the paving stones are laid correctly.
[0086] With a favorable design of the kit, at least one variation of the paving stones and / or the partial stones can have at least one second cam with at least two sub-cams on at least one side surface. The second cams can interlock with other first cams or other sub-cams via the sub-cams, thereby protecting a side surface of the paving stone against displacement and / or tilting. Furthermore, the interlocking allows for verification that the paving stones are laid correctly.
[0087] With a well-designed kit, the first lugs can have a shallower depth than the second lugs, with the area of the visible cross-section of the laying stone being adapted to the depth of the lugs and the resulting half the laying distance. This allows for various laying patterns through a combination of these stones.
[0088] With a favorable design of the kit, the arrangement of the first and second lugs on a side face can be chosen such that, on opposite side faces, first lugs interlock with first lugs, or first lugs with sub-lugs, or sub-lugs with sub-lugs. Interlocking first lugs can, in the intended laid state, form narrow joints between the visible cross-sections of the paving stones.
[0089] Interlocking first lugs and sub-lugs of second lugs, when laid as intended, can form second joints between the visible cross-sections of the paving stones. Interlocking sub-lugs of second lugs, when laid as intended, can form wide third joints between the visible cross-sections of the paving stones. These second joints are wider than the first joints and narrower than the third joints. The width of the first joint can be chosen to allow water drainage. The widths of the second and third joints can be chosen to allow for planting.
[0090] According to a further aspect of the invention, a paving stone bond with a plurality of paving stones is proposed. The paving stones can be designed as previously described paving stones according to the invention. The paving stones have at least one common previously described, inventive laying grid, which is designed as an irregular hexagon. Paving stones laid in a row are aligned in the same direction and are arranged side by side such that one of the opposite sides of the parallelogram of the laying grid of one paving stone is located next to a side of the parallelogram of the laying grid of the adjacent paving stone that is opposite this side. The two sides of the laying grid are flush. The paving stones of adjacent rows are each rotated by 180° about the vertical axis. The paving stones of adjacent rows are arranged offset from one another.
[0091] The laying stone pattern encompasses all the advantages of the laying grid, which will not be repeated here.
[0092] If the laying stone arrangement includes laying stones according to the invention, the laying stone arrangement also includes all the advantages of the laying stones, which are not repeated here.
[0093] With a favorable design of the paving stone bond, paving stones and partial stones arranged in adjacent rows can be aligned such that the first legs of the first obtuse triangles of the corresponding paving grid are flush next to the first legs of the first obtuse triangles, and the second legs of the first obtuse triangles of the corresponding paving grid are flush next to the second legs of the first obtuse triangles. Additionally or alternatively, the first legs of the second obtuse triangles of corresponding paving grids are flush next to the first legs of the second obtuse triangles, and the second legs of the second obtuse triangles of corresponding paving grids are flush next to the second legs of the second obtuse triangles.
[0094] In this case, with convexly oriented obtuse triangles, first obtuse triangles interlock between first obtuse triangles and / or second obtuse triangles interlock between second obtuse triangles.
[0095] In concave obtuse triangles, adjacent corners intersect the corresponding section of the parallelogram, which has the shape of the obtuse triangle.
[0096] Preferably, the paving stones of the paving stone bond are designed to be laid without press fit, whereby a joint distance between paving stones is greater than the greatest cam depth of the cams arranged on the corresponding side surfaces. drawing

Embodiments of the invention
[0099] In the figures, similar or equivalent components are numbered with the same reference symbols. The figures merely show examples and are not to be understood as limiting.
[0100] The laying grid 100 and the laying stone 1 according to the invention have in common that a cross-section of the laying grid 100 and a visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1 are designed as irregular hexagons 110. Each irregular hexagon 110 is composed of two obtuse triangles 111, 112 and a parallelogram 113. For clarity, the reference arrows and lines pointing to elements of the laying grid 100 according to the invention are shown as dashed lines. The reference arrows and lines pointing to elements of the laying stones 1 are shown as solid lines.
[0101] The directional terminology used below, including terms like "left," "right," "above," "below," "in front," "behind," "after," and the like, serves only to improve the understanding of the figures and is in no way intended to limit their generality. The components and elements depicted, their interpretation, and their use may vary according to the considerations of a person skilled in the art and be adapted to the respective applications.
[0102] As from the Figures 1 to 8 As can be seen, a laying grid 100 according to the invention for a laying stone 1 is shown in two dimensions.
[0103] As from the Figure 1 and 2 As can be further seen, the laying grid 100 according to the invention comprises a cross-section 120 of the base body 10 of the laying stone 1 and a half laying distance 130 extending around this cross-section 120 to adjacent laying stones 1 in a laying stone bond 200 as intended.
[0104] The illustrated cross-section 120 of the base body 10 of the laying stone 1 corresponds in the illustrated embodiments to the cross-section 120 visible from above of a top surface of the laying stone 1. Since half the laying distance 130 adapts to the cross-section 120 of the base body 10, cross-sections 120 of the base body 10 in non-visible areas and corresponding laying distances 130 can also be selected.
[0105] As from the Figure 1 and 2As can be further seen, the cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1 in the illustrated embodiments has the same shape as the laying grid 100, so that the sides 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6 of the visible outline 14 of the laying stone 1 and the sides 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 of the outline 140 of the laying grid 100 run parallel to each other. However, there is also the possibility, not shown, that the cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1 has a different shape than the laying grid 100. The cams 40 then have a compensating shape and / or a compensating arrangement on the laying stone 1, so that the half laying distance 130, which depends on the cams 40, together with the cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1, results in the irregular hexagonal shape of the laying grid 100.Furthermore, there is the possibility, not shown, that the cross-section 120 is not arranged centrally in the laying grid 100, so that areas of half the laying distance 130 are of different widths and corresponding cams 40 are of different depths.
[0106] The term "half the laying distance 130" refers to an area arranged around the cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1 and composed of several sections 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136. Each side wall of the corresponding laying stone 1 can be assigned at least one such section 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136 of the half the laying distance 130.
[0107] As from the Figure 1 and 2As can be seen further, the cross-sections 120 of the base body 10 of the laying stones 1 can differ depending on the design of the laying stone 1, 1a, 1b. In order for the laying stones 1, 1a, 1b to have the same laying grid 100, 100a, half the laying distance 130 is adjusted accordingly.
[0108] Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a paving stone 1, 1a with a [missing information] compared to the one in Figure 2 second embodiment of the laying stone 1, 1b larger cross-section 120.
[0109] Furthermore, it shows Figure 1 , that the area of half the laying distance is 130, of which in Figure 1 first embodiment of the laying stone 1, 1a shown in comparison to the one in Figure 2The cams 40, 42 of the first embodiment of the laying stone 1, 1a are significantly smaller than the cams 40, 44 of the second embodiment of the laying stone 1, 1b. In the illustrated embodiments, the cams 40, 42, 44 influence the laying distance 130.
[0110] In the Figure 1 and 2 It becomes clear that different paving stones 1, 1a, 1b can be laid in the same laying grid 100, 100a if the cross-section 120 and half the laying distance 130 of the paving stones 1, 1a, 1b are adjusted accordingly. Different paving stones 1, 1a, 1b allow for various requirements regarding the surface pattern to be created. Furthermore, greater variability is possible.
[0111] As from the Figures 3 to 8As can be seen further, for the sake of clarity, the cross-section 120 and half the laying distance 130 have been omitted. The illustrated embodiments of the laying grids 100, 100b, 100c, 100d can also have different cross-sections 120 and half laying distances 130.
[0112] As from the Figures 1 to 8 As can be further seen, the publishing grid 100 according to the invention is designed as an irregular hexagon 110, which is composed of two obtuse triangles 111, 112 and a parallelogram 113. The parallelogram 113 has two opposite bases B1, B2 forming the obtuse triangles 111, 112 and sides SP1, SP2.
[0113] Furthermore, the parallelogram 113 has two additional opposite sides SP3, SP4, which form sides 146, 143 of an outline 140 of the publisher's grid 100. The obtuse triangles 111, 112 each comprise two legs S1, S2, S3, S4, which enclose an obtuse angle a, b opposite the respective base B1, B2 and which form sides 141, 142, 144, 145 of the outline 140 of the publisher's grid 100.
[0114] In the illustrated embodiments, the outline 140 of the publisher grid 100 has six sides 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146. In the illustrated embodiment, a first side 141 is formed by a first leg S1 of the first triangle 111. A second side 142 is formed by a second leg S2 of the first triangle 111. A third side 143 is formed by a side SP4 of the parallelogram 113, which does not form a base B1, B2. A fourth side 144 is formed by a first leg S3 of the second triangle 112. A fifth side 145 is formed by a second leg S4 of the second triangle 112. A sixth side 146 is formed by another side SP3 of the parallelogram 113, which does not form a base B1, B2.
[0115] The irregular hexagon 110 creates irregular and unusual-looking surface patterns. The more different the two obtuse triangles 111 and 112 are, the more irregular the surface pattern appears.
[0116] In the illustrated embodiments, at least one of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 is convexly oriented outwards and placed on the parallelogram 113 ( Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figures 7 and 8 Additionally or alternatively, at least one of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 is concave towards the inside and intersects the parallelogram 113 ( Figures 5 to 8 ).
[0117] As from the Figures 1 to 8As can be further seen, in the illustrated embodiments of the laying grids 100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d according to the invention, the two obtuse triangles 111, 112 differ from each other. In particular, the two obtuse triangles 111, 112 differ at least in the size of the respective obtuse angles a, b, which are each enclosed by the two legs S1, S2, S3, S4.
[0118] Furthermore, the obtuse triangles 111, 112 shown differ in their heights H1, H2 and thus in the size of their respective areas, so that one can also speak of a large triangle 111, 112 and a small triangle 111, 112. This is shown in the Figure 1 and 2 The first embodiment of the laying grid 100, 100a shown in the invention differs, among other things, from those in the Figures 3 to 8In the illustrated embodiments, the first triangle 111 is smaller than the second triangle 112. In the other embodiments, the first triangle 111 is larger than the second triangle 112.
[0119] In an embodiment of the laying grid 100 according to the invention (not shown), the parallelograms 113 can also be designed differently. For example, the two sides SP1, SP2 forming the bases B1, B2 can be significantly longer or shorter than the other two sides SP3, SP4 of the parallelogram 113.
[0120] In an alternative embodiment of the laying grid 100 according to the invention (not shown), the first obtuse triangle 111 can be a mirrored version of the second obtuse triangle 112, or vice versa, with the mirroring occurring at the bases B1 and B2. Likewise, it is possible that the first triangle 111 is a version of the second triangle 120 rotated by 180°, or vice versa.
[0121] As from the Figures 1 to 8 As can be further seen, the lengths of all legs S1, S2, S3, S4 of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 differ from each other in the illustrated embodiments, which also means that the corresponding sides 141, 142, 144, 145 of the outline 140 of the publisher's grid 100 differ from each other.
[0122] As from the Figures 1 to 8 As can be further seen, the irregular hexagon 110 in the illustrated embodiments has six angles w1, w2, w3, w4, a, b of varying sizes. Two of the angles a, b correspond to the obtuse angles a, b of the obtuse triangles 111, 112. The four other angles w1, w2, w3, w4 are composed of one of the angles of triangles 111, 112 and the respective angle of the parallelogram 113 at that vertex E1, E2, E3, E4.
[0123] In an alternative embodiment not shown, the hexagon 110 can have only four angles a, b, w1, w2, w3, w4 of differing sizes. In this case, two angles a, b, w1, w2, w3, w4 of the hexagon 110 are of equal size.
[0124] As from the Figures 4 , 6 , and 8 As can be further seen, several laying grids 100 are arranged in such a way that several laying grids 100 are arranged in a row. The laying grids 100 arranged in a row abut each other and meet flush at sides 143, 146 of the outline 140, which are formed by sides SP3, SP4 of the parallelogram 113.
[0125] As from the Figures 4 , 6 , and 8As can be further seen, the adjacent rows comprise grid 100, each rotated 180° to the vertical direction, so that identical obtuse triangles 111, 112 face each other. Grid 100s in adjacent rows are offset from each other. As a result, sides 141, 142, 143, 144 of the outline 140, formed by legs S1, S2, S3, S4 of triangles 111, 112, are abutting each other. As can be seen from the Figures 4 , 6 , 8As can be further seen, the first legs S1 of the first triangles 111 of the laying grid 100 arranged in a row are adjacent to the first legs S1 of the first triangles 111 of the laying grid 100 arranged in an adjacent row. The second legs S2 of the first triangles 111 of the laying grid 100 arranged in a row are adjacent to the second legs S2 of the first triangles 111 of the laying grid 100 arranged in an adjacent row. Furthermore, the first legs S3 of the second triangles 112 of the laying grid 100 arranged in a row are adjacent to the first legs S3 of the second triangles 112 of the laying grid 100 arranged in an adjacent row. The second legs S4 of the second triangles 112 of the laying grid 100 arranged in a row are adjacent to the second legs S4 of the second triangles 112 of the laying grid 100 arranged in an adjacent row.
[0126] In the Figures 10 , 12 13 and 15The laying grid 100 is not shown. Since the illustrated laying stone arrangements 200 laying stones 1 have a laying grid 100 according to the invention, the laying grid 100 is also formed in these figures as irregular hexagons 110, the first triangles 111 of which face each other and the second triangles 112 of which face each other.
[0127] In the Figures 3 to 8 The hexagons 110 shown each contain the same obtuse triangles 111 and 112 and the same parallelogram 113. The hexagons 110 differ only in the orientation of the obtuse triangles 111 and 112, resulting in a completely different visual impression.
[0128] In the in the Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiments, the two obtuse triangles 111, 112 are each oriented convexly outwards.
[0129] In the Figures 5 and 6In the illustrated embodiment, the two obtuse triangles 111, 112 are oriented concavely inwards.
[0130] In the Figures 7 and 8 In the illustrated embodiment, one of the obtuse triangles 112 is convexly oriented outwards and one of the obtuse triangles 111 is concavely oriented inwards.
[0131] In an embodiment not shown, triangle 111, designated 111, can also be convexly oriented outwards and triangle 112, designated 112, can be concavely oriented inwards.
[0132] As from the Figures 4 and 8 As can be further seen, in convexly oriented obtuse triangles 111, 112 the sum of the obtuse angle a, b enclosed by the legs S1, S2, S3, S4 and the two angles w1, w2, w3, w4 of the two adjacent vertices E1, E2, E3, E4 is 360°.
[0133] Specifically, this means that the sum of angles w1, a, and w2 equals 360°, and the sum of angles b, w3, and w4 also equals 360°. Unlike a regular hexagon, the sum of the angles must be, as in Figure 10 As shown, w4, w1 and a or a, w2 and w3 or w2, w3 and b or b, w4 and w1 do not result in 360°.
[0134] As from the Figures 4 and 8 As can be seen, irregular hexagons 110 can be formed by such an angle distribution and yet three laying grids 100 can be arranged next to each other without gaps forming between the sides 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 of the outline 140 or without the sides 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 overlapping.
[0135] As from the Figure 6 and 8As can be seen, in concave obtuse triangles 111, 112, the obtuse angle a, b enclosed by the legs S1, S2, S3, S4 corresponds to the sum of angles w1, w2, w3, w4 of adjacent vertices E1, E2, E3, E4 of the irregular hexagon 110. Specifically, this means that angle a is the sum of angles w1 and w2, and angle b is the sum of angles w3 and w4. Therefore, angles w1 and w2, as well as angles w3 and w4, can fit into the recess in the parallelogram 113 formed by the concave triangle 111, 112 and, together with their respective opposite angles, form a total of 360° (360° - a or 360° - b).
[0136] As from the Figure 6 and 8As can be seen, irregular hexagons 110 can be formed by such an angle distribution and yet three laying grids 100 can be arranged next to each other without gaps forming between the sides 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 of the outline 140 or without the sides 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 overlapping.
[0137] It is possible to combine different embodiments of the layout grids 100b, 100c, and 100d. This requires that the parallelograms 113 of the layout grids 100 have identical bases B1 and B2, and that at least one of the obtuse triangles 111 and 112 of the different layout grids 100 is identical in shape and orientation. This allows the different layout grids 100b, 100c, and 100d to abut each other flush at these identical triangles 111 and 112. The other two sides, SP3 and SP4, of the parallelogram 113 can also differ from those of the other layout grids.
[0138] A combination of the second embodiment of the publisher grid 100b from the Figures 3 and 4 with the fourth execution game of the publisher grid 100d from the Figures 7 and 8 is conceivable by the identical parallelograms 113 and the identical second obtuse triangles 112, since here both the second triangle 112 of the second embodiment of the laying grid 100b and the second triangle 112 of the fourth embodiment of the laying grid 100d can abut each other.
[0139] A combination of the third embodiment of the publisher grid 100c from the Figures 5 and 6 with the fourth execution game of the publisher grid 100d from the Figures 7 and 8is conceivable by the identical parallelograms 113 and the identical first obtuse triangles 111, since here both the first obtuse triangle 111 of the third embodiment of the laying grid 100c and the first obtuse triangle 111 of the fourth embodiment of the laying grid 100d can abut each other.
[0140] It is also conceivable to combine the second embodiment of the laying grid 100b, the third embodiment of the laying grid 100c and the fourth embodiment of the laying grid 100d, wherein the fourth embodiment of the laying grid 100d can act as a bridge between the second embodiment of the laying grid 100b and the third embodiment of the laying grid 100c.
[0141] Other embodiments of the laying grid 100, not shown, can also be combined with one another, which have an identical obtuse triangle 111, 112 and a parallelogram 113. The shape and orientation of the other triangle is irrelevant and can be chosen arbitrarily.
[0142] This allows for the creation of many attractive surface patterns, which feature different grid layouts 100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d.
[0143] As from Figure 14 As can be seen, several partial stones 2, 4, which represent the cross-section 120 and half the laying distance 130 of the paving stone 1 composed of partial stones 2, 4, can also be fitted into the laying grid 100. This allows partial stones 2, 4 to be integrated into a surface pattern or a paving stone bond 200. For example, partial stones 2, 4 can be, as in Figure 15As shown, they are arranged at the edges to create a straight edge. Additionally or alternatively, partial stones 2, 4 can also be arranged in an interior area of a paving stone pattern 200 to create a free space 220.
[0144] In the Figure 1 , 2 Figures 9 to 15 show exemplary embodiments of laying stones 1 according to the invention.
[0145] The Figure 1 and 9 differ only in that in Figure 1 the elements of the hexagon 110, which form the outline 140 of the publisher's grid 100, were labelled and in Figure 9 The elements of the hexagon 110, which form the outline 14 of the more visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1, were labelled.
[0146] The Figures 2 and 11 differ only in that in Figure 2the elements of the hexagon 110, which form the outline 140 of the publisher's grid 100, were labelled and in Figure 11 The elements of the hexagon 110, which form the outline 14 of the more visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1, were labelled.
[0147] As from Figure 11 As can be seen, it shows Figure 11 the same laying stone 1b as Figure 2 The representation of the publisher's grid 100 was in Figure 11 omitted in order to show the elements of the paving stone more clearly.
[0148] As from the Figure 9 and 11 As can be seen, the outline 14 of the more visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1, 1a, 1b includes the two opposite sides SP3, SP4 of the parallelogram 113, which do not form bases B1, B2 for the obtuse triangles 111, 112, and the four legs S1, S2, S3, S4 of the two obtuse triangles.
[0149] As from Figure 1 and 9As can be seen in Figures 2 and 11, the outline 14 of the visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1, 1a, 1b is a reduced version of the outline 140 of the laying grid 100. In an alternative embodiment not shown, the outlines 140 and 14 may also differ from each other.
[0150] As from the Figure 1 , 2 As can be seen further in Figures 9 to 15, the paving stone 1 according to the invention is designed as a paving stone for creating a ground cover. However, the paving stone 1 can also form tiles and / or slabs and / or other suitable elements. The illustrated embodiments of the paving stone 1, 1a, 1b comprise a base body 10 with an unspecified top surface and an unspecified bottom surface, as well as unspecified side surfaces arranged between the top surface and the bottom surface. The top surface corresponds to the visible cross-section 120 of the paving stone 1, 1a, 1b.
[0151] As already described, the Figure 9 and 11, that the cross-section 120 of the base body 10 visible from above is formed as an irregular hexagon 110, which is composed of two obtuse triangles 111, 112 and a parallelogram 113. The parallelogram 113 has two opposite sides SP1, SP2, which form bases B1, B2 of the obtuse triangles 111, 112. In addition, the parallelogram 113 has two further opposite sides SP3, SP4, which form sides 14.6, 14.3 of an outline 14 of the visible cross-section 120 of the paving stone 1. The obtuse triangles 111, 112 each comprise two legs S1, S2, S3, S4, which enclose an obtuse angle a, b opposite the respective base B1, B2 and which form sides 14.1, 14.2, 14.4, 14.5 of the outline 14. The two obtuse triangles 111, 112 shown differ at least in the size of the respective obtuse angles a, b.Furthermore, the two obtuse triangles 111 and 112 differ in their altitudes H1 and H2. The second triangle, 112, has a significantly greater altitude H2 than the first triangle, 111.
[0152] As from the Figures 9 to 15 As can be further seen, both obtuse triangles 111, 112 are convexly oriented outwards.
[0153] In an alternative embodiment not shown, both obtuse triangles 111, 112 can also be oriented concavely inwards.
[0154] In another alternative embodiment not shown, one of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 can be oriented convexly outwards and one of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 can be oriented concavely inwards.
[0155] As from the Figure 9 and 11As can be further seen, the lengths of all legs S1, S2, S3, S4 of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 of the hexagon 110, which forms the visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1 according to the invention, differ from each other.
[0156] In an embodiment not shown, two of the legs S1, S2, S3, S4 of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 can also be of equal length. In this case, one of the triangles can be an isosceles triangle, or one of the legs S1, S2 of the first triangle 111 can be the same length as one of the legs S3, S4 of the second triangle 111.
[0157] As from the Figure 9 and 11As can be further seen, the depicted hexagon 110, which forms the visible cross-section 120 of the paving stone 1 according to the invention, has six angles w1, w2, w3, w4, a, b of varying sizes. The angles w1, w2, w3, w4 are composed of one of the angles of triangles 111, 112 and the respective angle of the parallelogram 113 at that corner E1, E2, E3, E4.
[0158] In an alternative, not shown, embodiment of the paving stone, two angles w1, w2, w3, w4, a, b of the visible cross-section 120 can also be equal. The obtuse angles a, b of the obtuse triangles 111, 112 differ from each other, but can be equal to one of the other angles w1, w2, w3, w4.
[0159] As from Figure 10As can be further seen, in convexly oriented obtuse triangles 111, 112, the sum of the obtuse angles a, b enclosed by the legs S1, S2, S3, S4 and the two angles w1, w2, w3, w4 of the two adjacent vertices E1, E2, E3, E4 is 360°. Specifically, this means that the sum of angles w1, w2 and a, as well as angles w3, w4 and b, equals 360°.
[0160] In an embodiment not shown, in concavely oriented obtuse triangles 111, 112, the obtuse angle a, b enclosed by the legs S1, S2, S3, S4 corresponds to the sum of angles w1, w2, w3, w4 of adjacent vertices E1, E2, E3, E4 of the irregular hexagon 110.
[0161] As from Figure 15 As can be further seen, the upper surface of an embodiment of the paving stone 1d according to the invention has at least one recess 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the recess 12 has a diamond shape.
[0162] In an embodiment of the paving stone 1 according to the invention (not shown), the recess 12 can be a reduced form of the outline 14 of the visible cross-section 120 or have any other shape. Furthermore, the recess can adjoin an edge of the paving stone 1, thereby creating a semi-open paving stone 1.
[0163] As from Figure 14 As can be further seen, a paving stone 1, 1c according to the invention can be formed in multiple parts from at least two partial stones 2, 4, the partial outlines 22, 24 of which, when assembled, form the outline 14 of the paving stone 1c. The partial stones 2, 4 each have an unspecified partial laying grid, which, when assembled, form the laying grid 100 of the paving stone 1c.
[0164] The partial laying grids each comprise half a laying distance, which has a section between the partial stones 2, 4, so that a joint can be formed between the sides 14.7, 14.8, where the partial stones 2, 4 are joined together.
[0165] The illustrated partial stones 2, 4 have small cams 40, 42. In an embodiment not shown, the partial stones can also have large cams 40, 44 or large cams 40, 44 and small cams 40, 42.
[0166] As from Figure 14As can be further seen, the two partial stones 2 and 4 each have a pentagonal partial outline 22 and 24. The first partial outline 22 of the first partial stone 2 has sides 14.1, 14.2, 14.32, 14.7, and 14.62. Furthermore, the first partial outline 22 has the first obtuse triangle 111 and a section 113.2 of the parallelogram 113. A first partial laying grid of the first partial stone 2 has sides 141, 142, 143.2, 147, and 146.2. A first half-laying distance of the first partial stone 2 has sections 131, 132, 136.2, and 133.2.
[0167] The second partial outline 24 of the second partial stone 4 has sides 14.4, 14.5, 14.34, 14.8, and 14.64. Furthermore, the second partial outline 24 of the second partial stone 4 has the second obtuse triangle 112 and a section 113.4 of the parallelogram 113. A second partial laying grid has sides 144, 145, 143.4, 148, and 146.4. A second half-laying distance of the second partial stone 4 has sections 134, 135, 136.4, and 133.4.
[0168] The two depicted partial stones 2, 4 can be joined together at the sides 14.7, 14.8, which run parallel to the respective base B1, B2 of the corresponding obtuse triangle 111, 112.
[0169] A laying stone 1 can also be subdivided into several partial stones 2, 4 in other areas. Furthermore, more than two partial stones 2, 4 are conceivable.
[0170] As from the Figures 9 to 15As can be further seen, 120 unspecified side surfaces can be assigned to the pages 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6 of the outline 14 of the visible cross-section.
[0171] The in the Figures 9 to 15 The depicted paving stones 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d have at least one lug 40 on at least one side surface. At least one of the lugs 40 projects beyond the paving grid 100 of the paving stone 1. The depth of the at least one lug 40 indicates a Figure 1 and 2The illustrated dimension of a section 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136 represents half a laying distance in this area. In the illustrated embodiments, the dimension corresponds to the width of section 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136. The length of section 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136 depends on the length of the corresponding side surface. The cam 40, which projects beyond the laying grid, allows cams 40 of adjacent laying stones 1 to interlock with each other. Versions of the laying stone 1 without cams 40 are also conceivable.
[0172] As from the Figures 9 to 15 As can be further seen, the side surfaces each have either first cams 42 or second cams 44, with the first cams 42 having a shallower depth than the second cams 44. The area of the visible cross-section 120 depends on the specified laying grid 100 and the depth of the respective cams 42, 44 and the resulting half laying distance 130.
[0173] As from Figure 11 As can be seen, not all, especially the second, cams 44 lie on a circular line K. It is also possible for the first cams 42 to be arranged such that not all of them lie on a circular line K. This arrangement prevents the paving stones from twisting and / or tilting under applied forces.
[0174] As from Figure 9 As can be seen, the side surfaces which are assigned to the sides 14.3, 14.6 of the outline 14, which are formed by the parallelogram 113, have at least two first cams 42, wherein a projection PL of at least one of the first cams 42 arranged on one side surface onto the opposite side surface lies substantially in a gap between two first cams 42 arranged on the opposite side surface.
[0175] As from Figure 11As can be seen, the side surfaces corresponding to sides 14.3 and 14.6 of the outline 14, which are formed by the parallelogram 113, have at least one second cam 44, wherein the second cams 44 have at least two sub-cams 46, and a projection PL of at least one of the sub-cams 46 of the at least one second cam 44 arranged on one side surface onto the opposite side surface lies substantially in a gap between two sub-cams 46 of the at least one second cam 44 arranged on the opposite side surface. The illustrated paving stone has a single second cam 44 with two sub-cams 46 on each side surface. Other numbers of second cams 44 and sub-cams 46 are also conceivable.
[0176] As from Figure 9 and 11As can be seen, the side surfaces corresponding to sides 14.1, 14.2, 14.4, 14.5 of outline 14, which are formed by the legs S1, S2, S3, S4 of the obtuse triangles 111, 112, have at least two first lugs 42 or at least one second lug 44 with two sub-lugs 46. At least one of the first lugs 42 or at least one of the sub-lugs 46 engages a gap between first lugs 42 or sub-lugs 46 of the same side surface rotated by 180°, so that in the intended laid state, at least one first lug 42 or one sub-lug 46 of a side surface engages in a gap between first lugs 42 or in a gap between sub-lugs of an adjacent identical paving stone 1 rotated by 180° about the vertical axis.
[0177] This allows the first cams, as in the Figures 10 and 15 As shown, interlocking with each other by forming a first joint 211
[0178] Furthermore, second cams 44 can be created by the sub-cams 46, as in Figure 12 and 15 shown, interlocking with each other by forming a third joint 213.
[0179] Furthermore, as can be seen from Figure 13 and 15 It is further evident that the sub-cams 46 also interlock with the first cams 42, forming a second joint 212.
[0180] As from Figure 9 and 14 As can be further seen, in the illustrated embodiments at least one cam 40, 42 is arranged on an edge of the corresponding side surface.
[0181] As from Figure 14 As can be further seen, at least one cam 40, 42 in the illustrated embodiment extends over a corresponding corner of adjacent side surfaces.
[0182] A kit (not shown in detail) comprises a plurality of laying stones 1, which have at least one common laying grid 100 according to the invention. The laying stones 1 can also be designed as laying stones 1 according to the invention.
[0183] The kit can also include partial bricks 2, 4, for example in Figure 14 The depicted partial stones 2, 4, or other suitable partial stones 2, 4 of the laying stones 1 have.
[0184] The kit can at least one, in Figure 15 The illustrated variation 1d comprises the laying stones 1 and / or the partial stones 2, 4, which has a recess 12 on a top surface 12.
[0185] The kit can at least one, in the Figure 9 , 10 , 14 The depicted variation 1a of the laying stones 1 and / or the partial stones 2, 4 has at least one small first cam 42 on at least one side surface.
[0186] The kit can at least one, in the Figures 11 to 13 The depicted variation 1b of the laying stones 1 and / or the partial stones 2, 4 has at least one large second cam 44 with at least two sub-cams 46 on at least one side surface.
[0187] Here, the first lugs 42 have a shallower depth than the second lugs 44. For example, the large lugs 44 can be five times as deep and at least twice as wide as the first lugs 42. The area of the visible cross-section 120 of the laying stone 1, 1a, 1b is adapted to the depth of the lugs 40 and the resulting half laying distance 130.
[0188] Furthermore, the arrangement of the first cam 42 and the second cam 44 on a side surface is chosen such that, on opposite side surfaces, first cam 42 meshes with first cam 42 or first cam 42 with sub-cam 46 or sub-cam 46 with sub-cam 46.
[0189] As from Figure 15 As can be seen, a laying stone arrangement 200 according to the invention comprises a plurality of laying stones 1, 1a, 1b, 1d, 2, 4, which have at least one common laying grid 100 according to the invention, which is designed as an irregular hexagon 110.
[0190] In a row 201-207, paving stones 1 are laid in the same orientation and arranged side by side such that one of the opposite sides SP3, SP4 of the parallelogram 113 of the laying grid 100 of one paving stone 1 is located next to a side SP4, SP3 of the parallelogram 113 of the adjacent laying grid 100 of the adjacent paving stone 1 that is opposite this side SP3, SP4. The two sides SP3, SP4 are flush. The paving stones 1 of adjacent rows 201-207 are each rotated 180° around the vertical axis. The paving stones 1 of adjacent rows 201, 207 are arranged offset from each other.
[0191] As from Figure 15As can be further seen, laying stones 1 and partial stones 2, 4 arranged in adjacent rows 201-207 are aligned in such a way that the first legs S1 of the first obtuse triangles 111 corresponding laying grid 100 are arranged flush next to the first legs S1 of the first obtuse triangles 111 corresponding laying grid 100.
[0192] The second legs S2 of the first obtuse triangles 111 corresponding grid 100 are arranged flush next to the second legs S2 of the first obtuse triangles 111 corresponding grid 100. The first legs S3 of the second obtuse triangles 112 corresponding grid 100 are arranged flush next to the first leg S3 of the second obtuse triangles 112 corresponding grid 100. The second legs S4 of the second obtuse triangles 112 corresponding grid 100 are arranged flush next to the second legs S4 of the second obtuse triangles 22 corresponding grid 100.
[0193] Since the visible floor plan 120 of the depicted laying stones 1 is a reduced form of the floor plan of the laying grid 100, these are arranged in the same way.
[0194] The width of the joints running between the side surfaces 211, 212, 213 is, as shown from Figure 15 It can be seen that, depending on the dimensions of the first cam 42, and the second cam 44 and the corresponding sections 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 133.2, 133.4, 136.2, 136.4 of half the laying distance 130.
[0195] The first joint 211 can be designed in such a way that it allows rainwater to seep into the ground.
[0196] The second joint 112 and the third joint 213 can be designed to allow for the growth of moss, grass, or other suitable plants. These third joints enable a significant amount of greenery to be incorporated into the 200 paving pattern. For example, the greenery can cover 50% of the area of the 200 paving pattern.
[0197] As from Figure 15 As can be seen further, paving stones 1 can also be omitted in the paving stone bond 200, thereby creating plantable open spaces 220. This is shown in rows 202 and 206. Furthermore, half stones 2,4 can also be arranged in the bond, creating plantable open spaces 220. This is also shown in rows 202 and 206. The paving stone bond 200 remains stable, and the paving stones 1 are protected against slipping, twisting, or tipping. Reference symbol list
