  • Such an arrangement allows installers to proceed at a much faster pace than previously possible as they do not have to orient the members in one certain way for interconnection. Also, such an arrangement creates less waste, i.e. a portion cut for forming a window or door opening, for example, can be utilized anywhere in the construction due to the symmetry of the interconnecting means.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un bloc de construction isolant qui contient deux panneaux séparés ou des parois latérales (10, 12) généralement parallèles. Les parois latérales (10, 12) sont reliées entre elles au moyen d'âmes (14). Des éléments d'assemblage par emboîtement (16) sont disposés sur les bords supérieurs et inférieurs des parois latérales (10, 12). Les éléments d'assemblage par emboîtement (16) permettent l'empilage et l'emboîtement de plusieurs blocs semblables comme on le ferait dans la construction d'un mur ou dans un agencement semblable. Les éléments d'assemblage (16) comprennent plusieurs saillies (18) et plusieurs évidements (20) disposés en alternance; les saillies (18) et les évidements (20) devant être sensiblement de même forme et de même dimension. Les éléments d'assemblage (16) sur les bords supérieurs et inférieurs des parois latérales (10, 12) doivent être symétriques, pour permettre l'emboîtement de blocs semblables d'une manière bi-directionnelle et/ou réversible.
