US Patent:

8215079, Jul 10, 2012

Filed:

Aug 27, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/583875

Inventors:

Robert F. Sinclair - Treasure Island FL, US

Assignee:

Encore Building Solutions, Inc - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

E04C 2/04

US Classification:

52596, 52DIG 9, 5230917

Abstract:

A compressed building block formed of a pre-mix of fly ash, Class C type, are combined with various aggregates either ground wood and/or chips, having maybe a small amount of Portland cement added thereto, moisturized, and then either molded, extruded or compressed in a press into the configuration of a block. A plasticizer, wetting agent and surfactant solution may be added to the composition. Boron as a mold retardant and an insecticide, may be added to the composition, to provide the formed block with further beneficial attributes. The blocks may be formed by a system for extruding such blocks from the formulation, or they may be formed by means of a mold or hydraulic or other press and pressed into the configuration of the desired block, needed for the construction.

US Classification:

052/605000

Abstract:

A compressed building block formed of a pre-mix of fly ash, either of the Class C type, or provided from sugar beet waste lime, are combined with either ground or pulverized wood and/or chips, or with fine sand, having a small amount of Portland cement added thereto, moisturized, and then either extruded or compressed in a press into the configuration of a block. A fire retardant, and an insecticide, may be added to the composition, to provide the formed block with further beneficial attributes. The blocks may be formed by a system for extruding such blocks from the formulation, or they may be formed by means of a hydraulic or other press and pressed into the configuration of the desired block, needed for the construction.

US Classification:

264/040100, 264/319000, 425/149000, 425/406000

Abstract:

A building block manufacturing system comprising a compression chamber capable of containing compressible block making material, said material comprised entirely or in part of waste material, preferably selected from the group consisting of fly ash, ground wood, waste vegetation matter, sea shells and sand; and a ram capable of exerting a desired pressure on the contents of said compression chamber; wherein, when said block making material being is placed in the compression chamber, the ram may exert a desired pressure on the material thereby compressing, and assisting in the curing or the material into a desired shape conforming to the interior surfaces of the compression chamber. The present invention also comprises the novel method of using the novel block manufacturing system.

Inventors:

Robert Sinclair - Treasure Island FL, US

International Classification:

E04B 5/04

US Classification:

052596000

Abstract:

A compressed building block formed of a pre-mix of fly ash, either of the Class C type, is combined with either ground or pulverized wood chips, or with fine sand, and a plasticizer, and accelerator, then moisturized, and lastly either extruded or compressed in a mold into the configuration of a block. The block lacks a binder, except Portland cement for select military applications. A mold retardant may be added to the mixture, to provide the formed block with further beneficial attributes. The blocks may be formed by a system for extruding such blocks from the formulation, or they may be formed by means of a hydraulic or other press and pressed into the configuration of the desired block, needed for the construction.

Filed:

Sep 6, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/899418

Inventors:

Robert Sinclair - Treasure Island FL, US

International Classification:

C09K 21/00
B32B 9/00

US Classification:

428318400, 252602000

Abstract:

A formulation is mixed and applied to structural members in a plastic form and then cured. The formulation uses waste materials as an aggregate in a concrete like mixture, including fly ash, wood pulp or the like, with a minimum of cement or other adhesive. The formulation when cured adheres to steel and other construction materials. The formulation provides an insulation of R-2 per inch of thickness. Essentially the formulation increases the time during a fire before a structural member loses its load bearing capacity under intense heat. The cured formulation accepts nails and screws and it can also be saw cut. The formulation can be treated with other ingredients to render it termite and mold resistant.
