1. Building system for a wall
2.1 A building system for a wall that uses shaped blocks that
can be joined to each other by dry walling [non-mortared] methods
is already known. In this system, one supporting surface has a
groove and the other supporting surface has a spline that is
matched to said groove. A disadvantage in this is that, for
example, precise positioning cannot be ensured when the shaped
blocks are laid one on top of the other because of dirt and
foreign bodies, so that the blocks can shift in the longitudinal
direction. This makes additional work necessary on the finished
wall and results in an uneven appearance that is caused by the
joints being off-set. It is the task of the present invention to
simplify overall construction of the wall and guarantee the
optimal appearance of the completed wall.
2. To this end, provision is made such that each groove (10) or
each associated spline (2) is provided with notches or with
projections (3) that form a positive fit with these, as well as
with continuous fill cavities in the blocks, these cavities being
formed as a middle opening (4) and semi-circular dished end
openings that (5) that are associated with these on the opposing
abutting surfaces.
2.3 The present invention permits very simple erection that
satisfies all demands with respect to the appearance of the
masonry and which, in addition, can be effected very quickly.

1. Méthode pour construire un mur 2.1. Il existe déjà une méthode pour construire un mur par maçonnerie en pierres sèches, sans mortier, en utilisant des blocs formés pouvant être joints les uns aux autres. Selon cette méthode, une surface porteuse comporte une rainure et l'autre surface porteuse comporte une clavette correspondant à ladite rainure. L'un des désavantages de cette méthode réside dans le fait que la précision du positionnement ne peut être assurée lorsque les blocs formés sont superposés, à cause de la présence de poussière et de corps étrangers, de sorte que les blocs peuvent se déplacer longitudinalement. La finition d'un mur selon cette méthode exige donc plus de travail, et il en résulte une surface inégale due au décalage des joints. La présente invention a pour but de faciliter la construction d'un mur et d'assurer la meilleure apparence possible du mur fini. 2. C'est pourquoi chaque rainure (10) ou clavette correspondante (2) comporte des encoches ou des saillies (3) s'ajustant parfaitement à la rainure ou à la clavette ainsi qu'à des cavités à remplissage continu présentes dans les blocs, ces cavités formant une ouverture intermédiaire (4) et des ouvertures bombées semi-circulaires (5) correspondantes sur les surfaces opposées adjacentes. 2.3 La présente invention permet de construire très facilement et très rapidement un mur répondant à toutes les exigences sur le plan de l'apparence de la maçonnerie. 3.
