BRICK-PATTERNED BUILDING BLOCK

摘要

The building block comprises inner (104) and outer (103) spaced apart walls made of hard moldable material such as concrete, the outer (103) wall being provided with an outer brick-patterned face (107, 108). Two tie members (105, 106) interconnect the inner (104) and outer (103) walls. Each of these tie members has a first end embedded in the hard moldable material of the outer wall (103) and a second hollow end section embedded in the hard moldable material of the inner wall (104). The hollow end section is formed with a distal end wall portion exposed on the outer face of the inner wall whereby a fastener can be driven through that exposed distal end wall portion to fasten building material. The hollow end section of the tie member also comprises a proximate end wall portion exposed on the inner face of the inner wall whereby the fastener can also be driven through that wall portion. The outer brickpatterned face (107, 108) simulates a single row of many bricks whereby longitudinal offset of the building blocks in successive rows of a wall structure will also offset the simulated bricks of these successive rows.
