AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing concrete blocks used for safety barriers and coastal protection lack aesthetic appeal and integration with urban furniture, as they have smooth surfaces and do not effectively mimic natural mineral elements.

Method used

The use of fingerprint games with reliefs that reproduce the appearance of natural mineral elements, such as stone walls or rocky surfaces, is applied to the internal walls of a concrete block mold to create an aesthetic facing. These imprints are designed to be complementary, reducing or eliminating pattern repetition between blocks.

Benefits of technology

The method results in concrete blocks with surfaces that closely resemble natural mineral elements, enhancing their aesthetic value and integration with urban environments while minimizing visible molding marks.

Abstract

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: DEVICE FOR REPRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL COMPRISING NATURAL MINERAL ELEMENTS The device for reproducing a three-dimensional model (10) comprising natural mineral elements, in the form of a rigid block from a liquid or pasty product, in a rigid mold (20) having at least two walls (25, 30) forming an edge (40) between them, the space between the walls (25, 30) being the interior of the mold (20), comprises at least two so-called "coplanar" impressions (45, 46, 48) produced by molding the model, the peripheries of the coplanar impressions comprising protrusions (50) and hollows (55) configured so that the protrusions of one and the hollows of the other are complementary when the coplanar impressions (45) are juxtaposed in the same plane on a first wall (30) of the mold.Preferably, the reproduction device also comprises at least one so-called “corner” imprint (60) produced jointly with at least one of the coplanar imprints (46) on an edge of the model.
