Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly consisting of a construction element and a masonry tool, said construction element having a length l, a width d and a height h, said construction element comprising :
  • first face and a second face substantially oriented in planes parallel to the axes of the length l and the width d, separated from each other by a height h, said first face comprising at least two ribs oriented substantially parallel to the axis of the length l and separated from each other in the axis of the width d by a first hollow;
  • Such a construction element forming part of such an assembly is known from the British patent GB 1 402 991.
  • the known construction elements comprise longitudinal ribs on their top face.
  • the ribs serve as a support for other similar construction elements when these are superimposed, in order to balance the construction elements in relation to each other, and to avoid the settling of the joins between the construction elements while the mortar is still fluid.
  • the ribs of a construction element come directly into contact with the construction element superimposed thereon, and it therefore becomes impossible for the mason to correctly adjust the alignment for height and perpendicularity of the construction elements in a row. In doing this alignment account must in fact be taken of the dimensional manufacturing tolerances of the construction elements.
  • construction elements in general in the form of bricks, blocks or breeze blocks, are superimposed in order to form a wall.
  • a layer of mortar is applied to bind the construction elements to one another and thus form the wall.
  • the mortar used is generally composed of cement, sand and water.
  • the mortar joint participates in the obtaining of an aesthetic appearance of the wall that has become conventional.
  • the layer of mortar laid between two superimposed elements is relatively fluid when it is placed, which impairs the stability of the wall being constructed. It is only when the mortar becomes hard and cohesive that it fully fulfils the function of binding the construction elements to one another.
  • the mortar can take a particularly long time to harden between construction elements that are very little water-absorbent, such as those based on compressed concrete, owing to their high density of material greater than 2000 kg/m 3 . The time that the mortar takes to harden and the high weight of the construction elements slows down the rate at which a mason can construct a wall.
  • the mortar situated between the lower rows of the construction elements will bear the weight of the upper rows.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce an assembly consisting of a construction element and a masonry tool that enable to mason to build up more rapidly in height by improving the stability of the wall being constructed, while allowing him suitable adjustment of the construction element for alignment and perpendicularity.
  • an assembly according to the invention is characterized in that said first hollow is open at least on said third face and in that said masonry tool comprises at least two sections sized so as to be able to be placed on each occasion straddling one of the ribs and each arranged so as to be able to slide on said rib on which it is placed.
  • the mortar thus apportioned, after removal of the sections, it will be possible to place one construction element on another and the mortar will be driven between the rib and the superimposed construction element and will form therein a fine layer of mortar.
  • a fine layer of mortar dries more quickly and thus makes it possible to build up more rapidly in height.
  • the British patent GB 507,594 proposes a construction element with peripheral areas raised by around 9 mm (3 ⁇ 8 of an inch) on the top and bottom faces of the construction element, as well as a construction method in which each block does not directly come into contact with the top block but remains separated at these peripheral areas by a fine layer of mortar. This therefore allows the adjustment of the thickness of the join and therefore the alignment of the construction elements.
  • this construction element has a shape that is too small to allow easy manufacture. In particular, to produce it by molding it would be necessary to use a complex and therefore expensive mold, and the operation of removal from the mold would be slow and complicated.
  • Patent application WO 2004/007860 proposes construction elements with ribs on their bottom face and grooves on their top face, the ribs being intended to fit in the grooves in another construction element. Obviously such a configuration limits the adjustment of the lateral alignment of the construction elements since the width of the grooves restricts the movement in the axis of the width d of the ribs that are fitted therein.
  • a first preferential embodiment of an assembly according the invention is characterized in that said sections have a height h p and the ribs have a height h ni , the height h ni of said ribs being less than the height of the sections. This difference in height allows an entirely appropriate apportioning of the mortar.
  • a second preferential embodiment of an assembly according to the invention is characterized in that said sections are provided with flaps extending towards the outside of the construction element when they are placed on the ribs and arranged as to receive surplus mortar when the mortar is leveled. This prevents the surplus of leveled mortar forming on at least a visible face of the wall under construction.
  • each of said two sections is provided with at least one lug for moving said two sections in the axis of the length l of the construction element, in particular by means of a trowel. This makes it possible to easily move said two sections without substantially deforming the is freshly leveled mass of mortar.
  • each rib has a height h n ; of between 5 and 17 mm, preferably between 6 and 8 mm, measured with respect to the bottom of said first hollow, and said first hollow is open at least on said third face.
  • This height h ni of the ribs is chosen so that it is always less than the thickness of the join, so that, in a wall, a thin layer of mortar can remain between each rib and the construction element superimposed on it, allowing the adjustment of each construction element for alignment and perpendicularity.
  • the fact that said first hollow is open on at least said third face makes it possible to mold said construction element in a simple mold and to extract it in a movement along a substantially longitudinal axis towards the fourth face.
  • said second face comprises at least two protuberances separated by a second hollow, each of which is disposed so as to be opposite in a direction parallel to the axis of the height h on each occasion to one of the two ribs.
  • This configuration has the advantage that said second hollow can receive part of the mortar of the join during the construction of the wall, which will mean that the mortar will oppose a resistance to shearing, rather than only of adhesion, to the lateral forces exerted on the wall.
  • said second hollow has a width d c of between 25 and 300 mm and/or a maximum depth h c of between 3 and 15 mm, these dimensions being particularly advantageous for incrementing the resistance to lateral forces of a wall constructed with such construction elements.
  • said second face comprises a substantially continuous surface opposite in the axis of the height h and straddling the two ribs.
  • said construction element also comprises a fifth base and a sixth base, substantially oriented in planes parallel to the axes of the height h and length l, and separated from each other by a width d, at least one of the ribs being offset with respect to the fifth or sixth face by a distance d j , preferably of between 10 and 15 mm, in the axis of the width d.
  • a drainage surface oriented substantially parallel to the axis of the length l extends between said at least one of said ribs and said fifth or sixth face, this drainage surface preferably forming an angle a of between 5° and 15° with the axis of the width d.
  • This drainage surface receives the surplus mortar overflowing from said rib and prevents its falling onto at least one visible face of the wall.
  • said third face comprises at least a third hollow, which lightens the construction element.
  • Said at least one third hollow may possibly pass through as far as the fourth face.
  • the invention also relates to a method of constructing a wall comprising a plurality of construction elements forming part of an assembly according to the invention, according to which one of said construction s elements and another one of said construction elements are superimposed to as to at least partially oppose the second face of one construction element and the first face of the other construction element after having applied a mass of mortar between the first hollow in said other construction element and the second face of said one construction element, in order to obtain a mortar join between said first hollow of the other construction element and said second face of one construction element, characterized in that, prior to the application of the mortar, one of said sections is on each occasion placed on each of the ribs, said mortar mass is apportioned by filling a space between the sections with the mortar and leveling this mortar with a trowel bearing on said sections.
  • a handle is used to take at least one construction element before placing it on the other construction element, said handle comprising a first part that is at least partially introduced into the third hollow in one construction element in order to support it. This makes it possible to handle heavy construction elements easily.
  • the invention also relates to a wall constructed according to this construction method.

  • This construction element 101 is preferably manufactured from concrete. However, the invention is not limited to this type of material and the construction element 101 can be manufactured in any other material generally used for construction, such as for example terracotta, wood, etc.
  • This construction element 101 has a roughly parallelepipedal shape with a length l, a width d and a height h having substantially perpendicular axes.
  • the construction element 101 comprises a first face 111 and a second face 112 substantially oriented in planes parallel to the axes of the length l and width d and separated by a height h.
  • the first face 111 is a top face and the second face 112 is a bottom face, but they may also be reversed.
  • the construction element 101 also comprises a third face 113 and a fourth face 114 , substantially oriented in planes parallel to the axes of the width d and height h and separated by a length l, and a fifth face 115 and sixth face 116 substantially oriented in planes parallel to the axes of the height h and the length l and separated by a width d.
  • the construction element 101 comprises two ribs 121 , 122 oriented substantially parallel to the axis of the length l and separated in the axis of the width d by a first hollow 123 .
  • each rib 121 or 122 has a height h ni of between 6 and 8 mm relative to the bottom of said first hollow 123 , although in other embodiments this height h n ; could be between 5 and 17 mm.
  • Each of the ribs 121 , 122 also has a width d n , preferably between 10 and 20 mm, the widths d n of the two ribs 121 , 122 preferably being substantially equal. This width controls the settling of the mortar in the fluid state by opposing a resistance to the flow dependent on the length of the channel formed between each rib and the opposite construction element.
  • the construction element comprises three ribs 121 , 122 and 150 .
  • the construction element according to the invention therefore comprises at least two ribs.
  • the mason When a wall is constructed by means of such construction elements 101 , 101 ′ provided with ribs, the mason will apply a mortar mass 401 to the first face 111 of a construction element 101 ′, where the ribs 121 , 122 (and 150 ) are situated. Applying the mortar mass 401 to this first face 111 is advantageous since the presence of these ribs makes it possible to position the mortar better.
  • the ribs will thus be on each side of the mortar mass 401 , which forms a mortar join between the construction elements 101 , 101 ′.
  • This join has, in this particular example with ribs with a height h ni of 6 to 8 mm, a final thickness of more than 7 mm. More generally the final thickness will have to be at least 6 mm.
  • the mason After having applied the mortar to the construction element 101 ′, the mason will position the construction element 101 above the construction element 101 ′ and the ribs will then be at least partially embedded in the mortar after the construction element 101 is positioned, as illustrated by FIG. 4 .
  • This thickness h m will be variable according to the manufacturing tolerances.
  • the height of the join will always be greater than the height of the rib+the dimensional tolerances of manufacture of the construction element.
  • this thickness h m is situated in a range between 1 and 4 mm and will generally remain less than the height h ni ; of the ribs 121 , 122 .
  • the height h ni ; of the ribs 121 , 122 will therefore depend on the thickness h j of the join desired and always less than this.
  • the mortar is driven towards the top part of the ribs of said other construction element and towards the bottom part of the protuberances on said one construction element in order to form a fine layer thereon.
  • the space between the ribs of the construction element 101 ′ and the second face 112 of the construction element 101 opposite is completely or partially filled with mortar.
  • the ribs which through their dimensions and more rigid structures than those of the mortar in the viscous state, cooperate mainly, with respect to the mortar in the viscous state, to the transfer of the load from one construction element 101 to the other construction element 101 ′.
  • These ribs will at least partially be embedded in the mortar, allowing only a slight thickness h m of mortar between the second face 112 of one construction element 101 and the ribs of the other construction element 101 ′.
  • this thickness h m of the layer of mortar between the second face 112 of the construction element 101 and the ribs 121 , 122 (and 150 ) of the other construction element 101 ′ is small, this thickness h m of mortar will harden more quickly, thus enabling the wall being constructed to stabilize more rapidly and therefore enabling the mason to quickly build up in height during the construction of the wall. Limiting the thickness of the mortar is not detrimental to the possibilities of adjustment, since this thickness h m is chosen so that it makes it possible to take up the manufacturing tolerance on the construction elements 101 , 101 ′.
  • the stability of a wall that has just been constructed depends on the thickness of the layer of mortar between the rows of construction elements 101 , 101 ′, the fluidity of the mortar, the weight of the construction elements 101 , 101 ′ and their laying surface. Since the ribs mainly cooperate with the transfer of the load with respect to the mortar in the viscous state, and since h m ⁇ h j reduces the possibility of expulsion of the mortar towards the outside of the wall, these two features help together to improve the stability of the wall being constructed. In addition, as the ribs are manufactured from the material of the construction element 101 , 101 ′, it has a more rigid structure than that of the mortar in the viscous state, which promotes the rigidity of the wall being constructed.
  • the second face 112 of the construction element 101 comprises a second hollow 126 having the form of a groove with a width d c of between 25 and 300 mm and a maximum depth h e of between 3 and 15 mm.
  • the ribs 121 , 122 are not intended to enter the second hollow 126 since the latter is offset with respect to the ribs 121 , 122 .
  • this second hollow 126 will also be completely or partially filled with mortar. In this way, when the mortar has hardened, it will exhibit a shear strength against the lateral forces to which the wall will be subjected.
  • each rib 122 , 121 is offset respectively from the fifth face 115 and the sixth face 116 , preferably by a distance d j of between 10 and 15 mm in the axis of the width d, a drainage surface 128 oriented substantially parallel to the axis of the length l joining each of the said ribs 122 , 121 and respectively the said fifth or sixth face 115 , 116 .
  • This drainage surface 128 preferably forming an angle a of between 5° and 15° with the axis of the width d.
  • This angle a serves in particular to direct any water that falls along the stretcher of the construction element 101 towards a bottom of the false join 402 between two construction elements 101 , 101 ′ and thus prevents this water taking away any fresh mortar that would then be spread on at least one visible face of the wall being constructed.
  • each of the ribs 121 , 122 has a height h ne preferably situated between 6 and 8 mm with respect to the ridges, although in other embodiments this minimum height h ne could be between 0 and 17 mm.
  • the height h ne of each of the ribs 121 , 122 with respect to the external ridge may be different from the height h ni ; of the same rib 121 , 122 with respect to the bottom of the first hollow 123 if, for example for aesthetic reasons, it is wished to give the false join 402 an apparent thickness different from the thickness of the join h j .
  • the distances d j and heights h ne of each of the ribs 121 , 122 are not necessarily identical to each other.
  • This height h ne added to the small thickness h m of the mortar form horizontal false joins 402 on at least one visible face of the wall allowing a traditional pointing height and therefore enables the wall to keep its traditionally aesthetic appearance, by applying a pointing mortar selected in particular for its aesthetic appearance in the false join 402 .
  • These false horizontal joins 402 can be complemented by vertical false joins formed by recesses 130 on at least one of the vertical edges (that is to say substantially parallel to the axis of the height h) of each construction element 101 , each having a surface 131 oriented substantially parallel to the axis of the height h in an angle y with the axis of the length l preferably between 75° and 85° and forming a vertical ridge with one of the fifth or sixth faces 115 , 116 , with a depths I r in the axis of the length l between said third face 113 and said vertical ridge of between 5 and 17 mm, and a width d r of between 10 and 15 mm.
  • the ribs 122 and/or 121 can be not offset from the fifth and/or sixth faces 115 , 116 , as in the construction element 301 of the embodiment illustration in FIG. 3 .

This extraction can be aided by a relative movement between the mold 501 and the rammer 503 along approximately an extraction axis 506 .
  • this extraction axis 506 corresponded to the axis of the height h of the construction elements conventionally produced by molding, resulting in fairly high manufacturing tolerances in the axis of the height h.
