Wall construction

Abstract

A kit for forming a hollow block assembly to be used to construct a wall having a corner, the kit consisting of face panels, right and left corner panels and a plurality of fasteners, each panel comprising a plurality of spaced apart flanges extending perpendicularly from and attached to each panel so that a hollow block structure is assembled when the flanges of the panels are connected together, directly or indirectly, by the fasteners, the right and left corner panels being dimensioned to interconnect at the edges thereof to form a corner section of a wall.

1 . A kit for forming a hollow block assembly to be used to construct a wall having a corner, the kit comprising: at least two face panels, at least one inner left corner panel, at least one inner right corner panel, at least one outer left corner panel, at least one outer right corner panel and a plurality of fasteners, each panel comprising a plurality of spaced apart flanges extending from and attached to each panel so that a hollow block structure is assembled when the flanges of the panels are connected together, directly or indirectly, by the fasteners, wherein the panels are molded of a resin selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic resin and a thermoset resin, wherein the flanges of the panels are integrally molded with the panels, wherein each flange of the panels is perforated therethrough with a plurality of apertures and wherein each fastener is a snap-lock strap molded of a resin selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic resin and a thermoset resin and comprising projections therefrom molded integrally therewith, the projections dimensioned to be an interference fit when pressed through an aperture of a flange so that a hollow block structure is assembled when the projections of the straps are pressed through the apertures of the flanges of the panels, each left corner panel having a left corner edge, each right corner panel having a right corner edge, the left and right corner edges dimensioned to interconnect so that a hollow block structure having a corner is assembled when the projections of the straps are pressed through the apertures of the flanges of the face and corner panels.
