RECTANGULAR AND QUADRANGULAR CONSTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS OF ASSEMBLYField of Invention
[0001] The present invention refers to the area of construction, specifically related to the rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly, where they are assembled modularly in a fast and simple manner, through a simple or reinforced dovetailing closure system that doesn't need adhesives, cements, threaded elements, parts or other material to achieve the union. Such modular constructive elements have attractive physical and mechanical properties for the construction of walls, slabs and roofs such as the installation of tiles, staves, baseboards, soffits; also considering the installation of garden accessories such as pots.Background of the Invention
[0002] The construction of walls is done through the use of bricks, partitions and blocks based in masonry, mortar, lime amongst others. However, recently the use of materials of construction based on plastics is being introduced.
[0003] In the market of global level, numerous products aimed at the construction of walls based in plastic materials exists, having variations in the geometry, manner of assembly and use of elements of union between the blocks.
[0004] Casan, C.A., in the patent of Spain No. 2277518, shows a prefabricated one for the construction where it is used as wall covering or for the formation of vaults in false ceilings; the inventor described the use of a body constituted by a base of a polymeric material that supports a set of thin bricks, in addition to some gaps between the bricks and between each one of the bodies, having the gaps covered by a filling material; additionally, it has a dovetailing system formed byoutstanding bricks and existing gaps between the bricks. Casan, C.A. does not mention the use of the rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly where they have a simple or reinforced dovetailing closure system, same that lacks a union material and conserves the physical, mechanical and functional properties of a wall for exteriors and interiors.
[0005] Whitaker, J., in the patent of Great Britain, No. 2420354 A, mentions a plastic block for construction with a superior and inferior surface, where the superior has two gaps and between them at least one hole that works as a drainage channel towards the bottom of the block. When the blocks connect in formation to give way to a wall, the conducts are aligned to allow water drainage. The inventor mentions that the plastic block contains an inert material as a filler and a fire retardant, but does not offer information of any property of thermal, wind, acoustic, mechanical or light resistance. The plastic block has a different geometry than the present invention.
[0006] Bouchillon, J.L., in the patent of EE.UU. No. 3593480, described a block and its assembly, where the block with rectangular geometry contains cavities filled of a cement material and hollow cavities of dead air that work as insulating spaces; in addition, the block contains adjusting bolts in the inferior part that provide stability in the assembly. For the invention to work it is necessary the use of a filler material. The present invention of rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly, does not require cementitious material forthe union of the parts and contains a closure system based in simple or reinforced lateral dovetailing and guides of lateral dovetailing that promote a precise assembly with wind, light and thermal resistance, as well as acoustic isolation.
[0007] Harman, J.D., in the patent of EE.UU. No. 3668832, mentions a plastic construction block that contains two lateral walls one in front of the other and forming a rectangular box with the top open, and also the laterals contain tabs and grooves that define the fitting section between the blocks, generating rigid structures. The geometry of the block is completely different than the exposed in the invention of the rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly,in addition the inventor does not mention the functional properties such as acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance; and also does not mention the resistance of water passage of the exterior to the interior of the wall.
[0008] Knudson et al., in the patent of EE.UU. No. 6571529 B2, shows a retaining block wall resistant to the damage by the environment, where the block has more than four sides in a horizontal manner and does not possess a lateral dovetailing closure system, the union is realized with superior gaps and anchoring devices at the bottom. For the system to work, the gaps must be filled with liquid filling material. Knudson et al., does not mention functional properties such as acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance; and also does not mention the resistance of water passage of the exterior to the interior of the wall. The containment block has a different geometry to the present invention.
[0009] A diversity of geometries for construction blocks have been found, such as the shown in the patent of Nunez-Vargas, M., in US 8297012 B2 and the application of the patent of Wong et al., in US 2020 / 0038772 Al, where the assembly of the blocks is done by the insertion of a superior and inferior dovetailing in a circular shape and half sphere. None of them have the simple or reinforced dovetailing closure system and does not mention the functional properties of the assembly.
[0010] Schieberl, D., in the application of the patent in EE.UU. No. 2024 / 0003132 Al, shows a rectangular plastic block with lateral ample assembly and superior slots with different forms, the inferior part has protrusions that anchor into the upper slots of the other block, said block has an inclined conformation to facilitate the exit of water. This patent does not show other properties such as the acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance; nevertheless, the present invention of rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly shows the versatility of using holes formed for the passage of electrical ducts, voice and data, hydraulic, home automation and mechanical-structural installations such as reinforced concrete and dry or steelstructures, such as profile PTR, rods, etc. Or in case of being enveloped for rigid frames and reinforcements such as IPR, HSS, angles and derivatives; also, contains a simple or reinforced dovetailing closure system and dovetailing guides that promote functional properties such as acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance. The present invention promotes the resistance of water passage of the exterior to the interior of the wall.
[0011] Alvares Moysen, A.R. in the international petition WO 2010 / 013991 Al, shows a system of blocks for the construction of walls, where a footing block is used characterized for having two rectangular prisms located in parallel and joined by two trapezoidal prisms that form a hole in the center of the block and in which it is filled with mortar, design variants in the inferior part are also noted, whether continuous or discontinuous for the effect of a larger number of trapezoidal prisms. An important aspect is that the assembly only work when mortar is used between the blocks. The inventor does not mention at any point about the functional properties such as acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance; and also does not mention the resistance of water passage of the exterior to the interior of the wall.
[0012] Perez-Gonzalez in his international petition No. WO 2017 / 155381, mentions a plastic block for the construction of walls, where the block contains two cavities in the superior part and projections in opposite faces for dovetailing coupling. The superior cavities have a background wall and four perimeter vertical walls each. The inferior cavities have two hollow inferior projections adapted to be inserted in the superior cavities. The cavities have perforations in certain sides of the background wall where semi-liquid material such as mortar, plaster, cement, asphalt, resins or any other mixture that gives strength to the union is poured. The block can adapt to make formwork in assembly of castles to join walls by removing the bottom of the cavities and inferior projections to generate a hole where assembly can be done. The inventor does not mention other attributes of plastic blocks. On the other hand, the rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements ofassembly in this invention, contain side slots of simple or reinforced dovetailing, dovetailing guides, structural ribs in the interior of the block, guides of cutting in lateral dovetailing and internal casting grooves that provide modular structures with functional properties such as acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance; and also does not mention the resistance of water passage of the exterior to the interior of the wall.
[0013] Gonzalez Camacho, J.R. in the patent of Colombia No. 16-031413, shows a system of blocks for mono block construction where the blocks of positive and negative geometry fit together horizontally and vertically, without the need of using adhesives or mortar. This patent contemplates four types of blocks, the type A is a tridimensional rectangular block with two cavities of square shape on the lower basal face and two square protuberances for their fit in the upper basal face, also contains to rectangular fits in the anterior face that extends along the height of the block and two square protuberances in the posterior face that extends along the height of the block, also the protuberance of the superior basal face has an angle of 45 that makes it easy to fit with an adjacent block and the vacuum section has a reduction of its transversal section in angles of 30 in regards to the horizontal in its superior part; the type B is a tridimensional square block with a fit in the inferior basal face and a precise fit in the superior basal face, two fits in the posterior face and two protuberances in the anterior; the type C is a tridimensional block with a T shape with three fitting zones to form compact interior divisions; and type D, being a tridimensional block of fitting for a curve finish of the corners; the invention does not show the physical and functional properties of the block when the walls are built. Therefore, the present invention of rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly, does contemplate the conformational arrangement with an inferior and superior assembly type dovetailing, whose edges are rounded to facilitate its insertion, presence of lateral slots of simple or reinforced dovetailing, positive and negative in the same face, offering versatility of assembly in both directions; also, the sealing depth is increased and with it theresistance of the lateral loads in the assembly of linear and corner walls is increased. Additionally, the constructive elements have simple, reinforced and absent inferior dovetailing guides, structural ribs in the interior of the element, maintaining mechanical strength and reducing weight, also permits the installation of dry or steel mechanical-structural systems, guides of cutting in lateral dovetailing, cut signage in the inferior dovetailing for exit of water, internal slots for the insertion of the casting adapter and thickness control in the walls of the constructive elements. As a consequence of the double dovetailing by face with depth increase, as well as the characteristics mentioned beforehand the modular structures with functional properties such as acoustic isolation, wind, light and thermal resistance; and also does not mention the resistance of water passage of the exterior to the interior of the wall are obtained.
[0014] As mentioned in the above paragraphs, there still exists the need to have walls that possess the physical and functional properties, capable of covering the demands of the diverse markets in the industry of construction. Therefore, the invention of rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly is developed to cover this demand.Summary of the Invention

[0099] The present invention describes rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly based in a simple and reinforced dovetailing closure system, where said elements have the ability to assemble in a modular manner and the structure obtained has the properties of acoustic, wind, thermal and light isolation; as well as mechanical resistance and the property to prevent the passage of water from the exterior to the interior of the wall, being its application for the manufacturing of exterior walls and when installed in an inverted manner, they have application in construction of interior walls. Also, the constructive elements of assembly have their application in the manufacturing of load-bearing and light walls, as well as slabs and ceilings or finishes, such as tile, staves and baseboards. Additionally, the constructive elements contemplate a variety of pots as gardening accessories. The invention is also considered friendly to the environment for taking advantage of the post-industrial waste or other waste of organic origin; as well as offer reduction of cost and time during the construction of structures of walls, slabs and finishes.
[0100] The rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements of assembly of this invention are described with detail for the variants of the subfamily B for walls, as well as variants of tile and ceilings, since they assemble between them and constitute an integrated set of elements to give rise to the finished modular structure.
[0101] Referencing the figures 1 to 3, the rectangular constructive elements have two categories in function of thickness, being of 2.5mm and 5mm for light and heavy respectively. Also, a lateral closure system is considered based in the positive and negative dovetailing located in the lateral face of the element and the opposite face of the same element, which can be easily attached with another element indistinctly of the position in which it is assembled. Said simple lateral dovetailing consists of a slot and a projection attached immediately and in duplicate in two opposite faces ofthe element, with this, a closure system of 4 edges and contact in 5 faces to form a union can be obtained. The reinforced lateral dovetailing contemplates a projection and two slots attached immediately, as well as two projections and one slot arranged adjacently, placed in two opposite faces of the element, obtaining a closure system of 6 edges and 7 faces in the sites of union. These systems permit the coupling of elements in an easy and simple manner, providing mechanical resistance to lateral impacts.
[0102] Referencing to figures 4 to 9, the constructive elements have the type of reinforced and simple dovetailing closure in the frontal face and the back of the same, also the figures 4 and 5 lack dovetailing guides, which permits the assembly of elements in interiors and for the manufacturing of the furniture. The figures 6 and 7 contain reinforced and simple dovetailing, plus a guide of dovetailing in the inferior part of the element, right where the lateral dovetailing starts. This conformation permits the coupling of elements to build walls, obtaining modular assemblies that confer properties of mechanical resistance to lateral, wind, thermal, acoustic and water impact. The figures 8 and 9 have simple and reinforced closure, as well as double guides of dovetailing in the inferior part of the element.
[0103] Figures 10 and 15 contain front and isometric view and detail of the simple and reinforced dovetailing closure, where figures 10 and 11 have simple guides of dovetailing, as well as central exhaust channels that work as water channeling mechanisms for a fast evacuation of the same. Figures 12 and 13 show elements with reinforced and simple dovetailing closures, double guides of dovetailing and central exhaust channels with guide; which will permit an adequate seal to prevent the entrance of water to the wall, as well as the improvement to the wind, acoustic and thermal resistance. Figures 14 and 15 show a front and isometric view and detail of the reinforced dovetailing closure with dovetailing guides ultra-reinforced, which guarantees a better sealing and promotes the property of wind, acoustic, thermal and water resistance.
[0104] Alluding to figure 16, this shows the isometric view of a Universal element, which has a simple dovetailing closure, but also can contain a reinforced closure. Additionally, lacks of dovetailing guides, which allows it to be used in any type of assembly; it also has two lateral slots in the faces cl and c'l that work as coupling parts, ornament or to promote the masonry flattening fastening.
[0105] Figure 17 shows a constructive element type Large, which is used in the manufacturing of walls, it consists in a rectangular prism with four square holes that go through the element, each hole has structural ribs in the walls of the same, which confers to it the mechanical resistance. Additionally, it has 4 positive structures in the inferior part of the element that work to facilitate the assembly with the other elements; on the other hand, the height of the Large element corresponds to double in regards to the conventional elements.
[0106] Figure 18 shows a constructive element, type Large for walls, which has the same characteristics of figure 17, but also contains slots dovetailing negative in the 4 faces of the rectangular prism, where each slot is aligned to be assembled with another element in case it is necessary.
[0107] For a better understanding of the diverse rectangular elements, these are grouped in subfamilies where each have similar features in type of dovetailing and thickness of wall, which are mentioned in table 1 and made reference to the figure that described its general form. On the other hand, the detail of the variants of the subfamily B will only be described for illustrative purposes, since the descriptive characteristics can easily be extended to other subfamilies, depending of the implied variant.
[0108] Table 1. Subfamily of rectangular and quadrangular constructive elements for the construction of walls in linear conformation or in L with variation in thickness of wall and type of dovetailing closure.
[0109] Referencing figure 19B1, a rectangular prism is shown with faces (bl, b'l, cl, c'l) whose application is for load-bearing walls for having more thickness of wall, also contains two square superior holes that go through the element in its totality. It also has a simple lateral dovetailing closure system that gets 4 edges and 5 faces, which are composed by an exterior positive rib orprojection (2) and one negative rib or slot (3) that when assembled, permit a sealing with higher resistance to lateral impacts, the disposition of dovetailing is in duplicate in each lateral face of the element. In the exterior positive rib, a cutting guide is found (1) that is used when expansion of the application to an end of wall element or a universal corner is required (11) arranged in the lower part of the lateral sides of the element, which have a square base and circular termination that promotes the acoustic isolation and the wind, light and thermal resistance. In the inferior face of the element (b'l) two hollow square male structures or sockets are found (al) that go through the element and which work as an attachment point for other adjacent elements and thus achieve a modular assembly, in addition the male contains in the internal part, ribs for a correct attachment of the solid or steely structures. In the exterior part of the male structure or socket (al) cutting signs are found (7) which is removed in the parts to guarantee the exit of the water from the interior to the exterior of the element, being a fundamental part when you want the wall to have resistance to the passing of water from the exterior of the wall to the interior of the room. If the constructive element is installed in an inverse manner, which is to say, the male in the superior part of the element, then the assembly will only have application for the construction of the internal walls. In the superior part of the element (bl) by the interior, slots to receive the overlap of two assembled parts are found, so the load or weight of the element is distributed, this is how the structural resistance is conferred to vertical forces. In the vertical holes of the element, vertical slots are found (4) that help place the vertical pouring lid, also internal slots are found (5) for the precise adjustment of the apparent block cover when some sort of change for maintenance or installation of electric components are required. In the lateral faces by the external superior part, central slots with rounding are found (8) that favor the settlement of the assembled elements and in the center of the element by the inferior part a projection is found (11) that favors the sealing alongside the slot (8), this entails an improvement in the wind, acoustic, thermal and light seal.
