A method of fastening a wall panel to a wall, according to one illustrative embodiment, comprises coupling a retaining body to a mounting body mounted on an outer surface of the wall adjacent a side edge of the wall panel. Coupling the retaining body to the mounting body may comprise coupling a first connector on an inner surface of the retaining body to a second connector on the mounting body, and positioning a retainer on the retaining body against a retaining surface on the wall panel to fasten the wall panel to the wall. Kits and wall assemblies according to other illustrative embodiments are also disclosed.

According to one embodiment, an insulated structure includes a frame comprising a plurality of wall studs coupled together and a plurality of foam boards attached to the frame to form a continuous insulative wall. A plurality of fasteners attaches the foam boards to the frame. Each fastener includes an elongate shaft and a cap. The elongate shaft is configured to penetrate through a foam board and into a wall stud to couple the components together. The cap is configured to be positioned atop a foam board to distribute a load relatively evenly to the foam board. A sealing tape is applied across seams between adjacent foam boards and over the fasteners' caps to seal the wall. A sealing caulk is applied to secondary fasteners and penetrations to seal the wall. In some embodiments, the structure has a fastener density of about 1 fastener per 243 in2 of foam board.

A wall block comprises an upper surface and an opposed lower surface. A front face and an opposed back face, and a first side face and an opposed second side face, are disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface. The first side face and the second side face generally extend from the front face to the back face. The block includes one or more features that define a horizontal alignment direction. The front face extends from the first side face to the second side face generally along a direction that is slanted with respect to the horizontal alignment direction.
摘要:
A concrete block having comparatively light weight and capable of being manufactured easily and used in various fields of application; a block joint for the concrete blocks, capable of carrying out the arrangement of the concrete blocks simply and retaining the arranged concrete blocks in good order; and a structure made by using the concrete blocks and the block joints. The joint (1, 2) has seats (1b, 2b) which are formed by cutting off predetermined portions thereof and adapted to restrict positions in which the concrete blocks (3) are arranged horizontally and vertically so that horizontally adjacent and vertically adjacent concrete blocks have clearances therebetween, and which support corner portions of the concrete blocks (3) thereon, each of the concrete blocks (10) being formed in a cubic outer shape so that it has an outwardly opened hollow structure, by using a split core (12) which can be broken down and removed after the concrete has been hardened, thus obtaining a structure of which the interior of the concrete blocks (10) communicate with each other when a plurality of blocks (10) are horizontally and vertically arranged.
摘要:
An arcuate structure containing at least sixty six-sided building blocks, and said six-sided building blocks are independently able to provide means for connecting one of said six-sided building blocks to at least one of said six-sided building blocks. The outside face of the six-sided block has a substantially rhomboidal shape, and is substantially parallel to the inside face of the six-sided block. The right edges and the left edges have equal lengths and form equal angles with the inside face and outside face. The left and right sides of the six-sided block are congruent with each other, are in the shape of a parallelogram, and contain two recesses and two projections within their borders. The six-sided block contains a top side with a substantially rectangular shape and a recess and disposed within such shape, a left and right side (each of which are congruent with the left and right sides of the six-sided block), and a front and back side (each of which are congruent with each other and with the back side of the six-sided block).
摘要:
Building or like parts can be attached to a support structure, such as the wall of a building, by using an elongate attachment member 10 or 40. Coping or capping stones 32 or 50 may be similarly attached to the top of a wall. The attachment member has to opposed outwardly-extending resilient latch portions, 18a, 18b, 48a, 48b and, in a region away from the latch portions, an outwardly-extending anchor portion, or a pair of anchor portions.
摘要:
Method and means for constructing a cement block wall without mortar in which standard blocks can be used. Interengaging means, having rectangular flanges, engage cells of upper course blocks and cells of lower course blocks therebelow. Blocks can be abutted or separated by interposed members made of plastic or the like that extend to edges and have the appearance of mortar points, which are integrated with said interengaging means.
摘要:
A multisided building block having a cavity along each side in a peripheral zone of the block and an outwardly directed open socket held within the cavity. In an adjoining position of two building blocks, a socket belonging to one block is aligned with, and is in a close vicinity of a socket belonging to the other, adjoining block. There are further provided plugs, each conforming in shape to the socket opening and positioned within the aligned sockets for interconnecting the same.
