Abstract: An irregular, tessellated building unit comprises x primary elements, wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 1. The primary element is a rotational tessellation having a plural pairs of sides extending in a generally radial direction from plural vertices, respectively. In each pair, the two sides are rotationally spaced by an angle that is divided evenly into 360 degrees. Preferably, all of the sides are irregularly shaped, but one or more sides could be wholly or partially straight. Optionally, spacers are provided on the sides of each unit. A wide variety of units may be constructed having different numbers and arrangements of primary elements. As all the units are combinations of primary elements, they readily mate with each other. A surface covering comprises a multiplicity of units assembled to form a continuous surface without overlap between units and without substantial gaps between units. A structure, such as a wall or column can be formed of building units of the invention. Because of the irregular side configurations, and different sizes and shapes of individual units, the resulting surface or structure has a natural, non-repeating pattern appearance. Optionally, minor surface and edges variations are made from unit to unit to further enhance the natural appearance of the surface covering or structure.

Abstract: A surface covering unit comprises x primary elements, wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 1. Each primary element is a rotational tessellation having a plural pairs of sides extending in a generally radial direction from plural vertices, respectively. In each pair, the two sides are rotationally spaced by an angle of 60, 90, 120 or 180 degrees, and each side is substantially a rotational image of the other side. The sum of the plural vertices angles is 180, 240, 270, 300 or 360 degrees. Preferably, all of the sides are irregularly shaped, but one or more sides could be wholly or partially straight. Optionally, one or more edges of each unit are marked with indicia to facilitate matching mating sides of adjacent units. A wide variety of units may be constructed having different numbers and arrangements of primary elements. As all the units are combinations of primary elements, they readily mate with each other. A surface covering comprises a multiplicity of surface covering units assembled to form a continuous surface without overlap between units and without substantial gaps between units. Because of the irregular side configurations, and different sizes and shapes of individual units, one can construct a continuous surface that has a natural, random and apparent custom appearance. Optionally, minor surface and edges variations are made from unit to unit to further enhance the natural appearance of the surface covering.

Abstract: The invention relates to horizontally and vertically linked paving stones (10). According to the invention, projections (18) and recesses (19) are provided in the area of the bottom part (16) of the paving stones (10) used for a paved surface in order to link said paving stones horizontally and vertically. These projections and recesses engage with each other with a positive fit so as to interlock adjacent stones in a horizontal and vertical direction. The paving stones (10) are characterised in that the width of the joints (32) formed between adjacent paving stones (10) increases in a downward direction so as to form a gap which diverges downwards. This means that the material used for filling the joints can be introduced efficiently and reliably as far as the underside.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及水平和垂直连接的铺路石（10）。 根据本发明，在用于铺设的表面的铺路石（10）的底部（16）的区域中设置有突起（18）和凹槽（19），以便水平和垂直地连接所述铺路石。 这些突起和凹槽以正配合彼此接合，以便在水平和垂直方向上互锁相邻的石块。 铺路石（10）的特征在于，在相邻的铺路石（10）之间形成的接头（32）的宽度向下方增加，形成向下偏移的间隙。 这意味着用于填充接头的材料可以有效和可靠地引入到底部。

Abstract: A paving stone, made from concrete material, having a one-piece plane surface and two strip like support attachments arranged on each lateral surface. These support attachments form joints between adjacent paving stones in a laid composite structure. On each side, two support attachments are symmetrically arranged with center spacings relative to the planes of symmetry, wherein these planes of symmetry extend through the centers of adjacent lateral surfaces. When these paving stones are stacked next to each other, the support attachments from a first paving stone is disposed adjacent to a support attachment on an adjacent paving stone.

Abstract: All elements are designed in a modular manner on the base of a unitary length. They include elements comprising more than one square having side lengths a and a camfered edge b at an angle of 45.degree.. The elements, which can be produced in the form of paving stones, or thin ceramics tiles, or trough stones and can be laid out to create floor or wall coverings, allow to lay out all letters, numbers or common symbols, as well as a great variety of other figures, and to provide them with straight-lined borderings without the need of breaking, grinding or otherwise altering a single element. It is understood that said elements can be differently colored in order to emphasize them.
