AbstractThe invention relates to a construction kit made of concrete paving stones comprising substantially prismatic stone bodies of a uniform height and upright lateral surfaces. A plurality of stone paving stones (2) arranged in rows and having the same width in addition to the same or different lengths can be placed manually or placed by means of a machine with continuous or offset joints in said joint areas. A plurality of rows of paving stones that are arranged next to each other in a parallel position is used to form a rectangular or square packet that can be placed using a machine. The paving stones (2) have side surfaces (4) which have head pieces (2') that are defined by a wavy line along part of their height and base pieces (2") in sections, comprising domed areas (5) or projections jutting out laterally in relation to the head pieces (2') extending along another part of their height. When the packets are assembled for placement in the vicinity of the end stones that make up a row of paving stones, they form a line of continuous joints or provide substantially winding-shaped joints (7) if so desired by replacing different sized end stones from adjacent packets that have been moved towards each other. | InventorApplicationNo. 446474 filed on 12/21/1999US Classes:404/39, Bevel or incline edge52/603, With integral spacing projections52/604, Particularly related to adjacent module52/605, Grooves on juncture face404/17, PAVEMENT404/34, Modules or blocks (preformed)404/37, Including spacer means404/38, Integral404/42PatternedField of Search404/17, PAVEMENT404/34, Modules or blocks (preformed)404/37, Including spacer means404/38, Integral404/39, Bevel or incline edge404/41, Interfitting404/42, Patterned52/603, With integral spacing projections52/604, Particularly related to adjacent module52/605, Grooves on juncture faceD25/113Construction block or brick type (20)ExaminersPrimary: Hartmann, Gary S.Attorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References929366, 1045328, 1689107, 1969729, 3229439, 4627764, Paving stone, process for manufacturing same and device for carrying out the manufacturing processIssued on: 12/09/1986 Inventor: Scheiwiller4761095, Paving stone Issued on: 08/02/1988 Inventor: Bartlechner4792257, Set of paving stones, particularly set of concrete paving stones Issued on: 12/20/1988 Inventor: Rinninger4907909, Paving stone set Issued on: 03/13/1990 Inventor: Ruckstuhl5028167, Paving block arrangement for laying a paving-set arc assembly Issued on: 07/02/1991 Inventor: Scheiwiller5211895, Molding process for forming a concrete paving block Issued on: 05/18/1993 Inventor: Jacklich, Sr.5348417, Compound pavement stone Issued on: 09/20/1994 Inventor: Scheiwiller5797698, Paving elements for the water-permeable reinforcement of surfaces Issued on: 08/25/1998 Inventor: Barth, et al.6015243, Concrete material paving stone Issued on: 01/18/2000 Inventor: Geiger6073411, Pre-cast rectangular cobblestone Issued on: 06/13/2000 Inventor: Ciccarello D442703 Foreign Patent References
