Definitions

  • One of the first pair of sides presents two apices and a central angular recess therebetween which are complementary to two angular recesses and a central apex presented by the other side.
  • a second pair of opposite sides of the paving stone each has an outline composed of complementary convex and concave portions shaped as an arc of a circle, such portions being arranged so that each side is complementary to the other when inverted.
  • the present invention relates to a paving-stone for use as a covering for ground and the like.
  • the paving-stone of the present invention can be used with advantage for covering inter alia roads, paths in parks and gardens, canals, dykes and embankments.
  • the present invention provides a pavingstone for use as a covering for ground and the like and having a substantially rectangular-like shape, wherein the the improvement comprises a first pair of opposite sides which have an outline in the form of a regular broken line and which are complementary when disposed directly opposite one another, and a second pair of opposite sides which have an outline in the form of a rounded sinuous line and which are complementary when disposed in inverted realtionship to one another.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view of an exemplary pavingstone embodying the invention.
  • FIGURES 2 and 3 show two pavements utilizing paving-stones of the kind shown in FIG. 1.
  • the paving-stone shown in plan in FIG. 1 has four corners 1 to 4 disposed at the corners of an imaginary rectangle 5 shown in chain-dotted lines.
  • the paving stone On two oppositely disposed sides of the rectangle 5, the paving stone has sides 7, 8, which are of complementary shape and which are shaped as regular interrupted lines having a number of rectilinear portions.
  • the side 7 has two lateral apices 7a disposed one on each side of a central recess 7b, and the side 8 has two lateral 3,494,266 Patented Feb. 10, 1970 recesses 81: disposed on either side of a central apex 8a.
  • the angles of the apices 7a, 8a are obtuse (approximately 135), so that the protuberances formed by the apices 7a, 8a on the sides of the stone are of satisfactory mechanical strength.
  • the sides 7 and 8' are made of straight lines and the lines of the side 7 are substantially of the same length as those of the side 8, so that the total formation on the left side of the paving stone in relation to a transverse axis AA is substantially a mirror image of the right side of the paving stone.
  • the paving-stone has sinuously shaped sides 9, 10 which are symmetrical in relation to a transverse axis AA of the imaginary rectangle 5.
  • the sides 9, 10 have on either side of the longitudinal axis BB of the rectangle rounded protuberant or convex parts 9a, 10a and rounded recessed or concave parts 912, 1012, the shapes of the protuberant parts matching and complementary to the shapes of the recessed parts.
  • the two convex parts 9a, 10a are both disposed on the same side of the axis BB and the two concave parts 91;, 10b are both disposed on the other side of the axis B-B. These parts are in the form of an arc of a circle the versin f of which is approximately 20% of the length of the chord C (FIG. 1).
  • the paving-stones shown can be assembled in staggered form, as shown in FIG. 2, or in the aligned position shown in FIG. 3. In the position shown in FIG. 3, if stones of different colors are used, his readily possible to provide regular checkerwork effects or perpendicular lines serving to mark a road.
  • the staggered pavement shown in FIG. 2 is devoid of any substantially inclined joint line.
  • the pavement has a calmer appearance, and unlike what occurs in known pavements formed by paving-stones having convergent surfaces, there is no false axis inclined to the road axis.
  • the paving-stone can be fashioned in cement or any other form of artificial stone and can be fashioned or cut in other materials, such as plastics, timber, terra cotta.
  • a paving-stone for use as a covering for ground and the like and having a substantially rectangular-like shape to define four corners, wherein the improvement comprises a first pair of opposite sides having an outline in the form of a regular zigzag line formed of a plurality of straight lines and being complementary when disposed directly opposite one another,
  • a second pair of opposite sides having an outline in the form of a rounded sinuous line and being complementary relative to each other when disposed in inverted relationship to one another,
  • said stone defining an imaginary longitudinal axis across said second pair of opposite sides and an imaginary cross axis across said first pair of opposite sides
  • the portion of said stone on one side of said imaginary cross axis being a mirror image of the portion of said stone on the other side of said imaginary cross axis
  • one of said first pair of sides being formed with two apices, and a recess between said two apices,
  • each of said second pair of opposite sides has two rounded parts
  • one of said rounded parts being convex
  • said rounded parts of said second pair of opposite sides having an outline in the form of an arc of a circle
