INTERLOCKING ASYMMETRIC UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTION BLOCK

摘要

An asymmetrical interlocking universal construction element with a unique polygonal shape. It allows for constructing flat surfaces, internal corner, and external corner surfaces from a set consisting essentially of the same construction elements. It can be used to finish edges of an opening in a flat surface (e.g., for a door or window). Construction elements can be cut to size on-site. Assembly of two or more construction elements allows insertion of an S-shaped thin-walled metal element to provide load bearing capability. Application of the elements in construction assembly may use any raw material as long as it is shape-stable (i.e., capable of carrying its own weight only). The construction elements may be hollow or solid throughout.

1. A three-dimensional construction element comprising:
a) a length along a longitudinal axis; b) two essentially planar end surfaces having edges forming a perimeter comprising a closed irregular polygon with at least one end surface being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the end surfaces are separated from each other by the length of the construction element; c) wherein a cross-section of the construction element anywhere along its length and perpendicular to its longitudinal axis is a plane having edges that define a closed irregular polygon congruent to and parallel to the at least one end surface that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; d) wherein the irregular polygon formed by the edges of the at least one end surface that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis consists of nineteen sides, nineteen vertices, and nineteen internal angles all of which are essentially ninety degrees; and e) wherein any cross-section that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis forms an irregular polygon that is congruent to and parallel to the at least one end surface that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
