Vertical and lateral stackable brick assembly

Abstract

A vertical and lateral stackable brick assembly includes a mounting brick that has a plurality of sides including a top side, a bottom side, a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side. A plurality of male interconnection members is integral to the mounting brick and extends away therefrom. A plurality of female interconnection members is integral to the mounting brick and extends into a surface of the mounting brick. The female interconnection members are located on at least one of the sides. The male and female interconnection members releasably engage bricks from a building brick system and may also engage male and female interconnection members of other mounting bricks. The male interconnection members is positioned on the top side and at least one of the first, second, third or fourth sides includes the male interconnection members.

 an upper edge and a lower edge positioned opposite of each other, said upper edge being positioned adjacent to said top side; 
 a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge positioned opposite of each other; 
 said couplers being positioned adjacent to said upper edge, said lower edge, and said upper edge; and 
 at least ⅓ of a distance from said lower edge to said upper edge being planar and free of said couplers. 
   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The building brick assembly configured to engage a brick system in lateral and vertical directions according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first, second, third or fourth sides includes said female interconnection members. 
     
     
         4 . A building brick assembly configured to engage a brick system in lateral and vertical directions, said building brick assembly comprising:
 a mounting brick having a plurality of sides includes a top side, a bottom side, a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side wherein said first and third sides are positioned opposite of each other;   a plurality of male interconnection members being integral to said mounting brick and extending away therefrom, said male interconnection members being located on at least one of said sides, at least one of said first, second, third or fourth sides includes said male interconnection members;   a plurality of female interconnection members being integral to said mounting brick and extending into a surface of said mounting brick, said female interconnection members being located on at least one of said sides;   said male and female interconnection members being configured to releasably engage bricks from a building brick system and to engage male and female interconnection members of other ones of said building brick assembly;   said female interconnection members being positioned on said bottom side;   at least one of said first, second, third or fourth sides including said female interconnection members;   wherein the sides having the female and male interconnection members thereon only solely have either the female interconnection members or the male interconnection members thereon;   said male and female interconnection members defining couplers;   wherein one of said plurality of sides includes:
 an upper edge and a lower edge positioned opposite of each other, said upper edge being positioned adjacent to said top side; 
 a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge positioned opposite of each other; 
 said couplers being positioned adjacent to said upper edge, said lower edge, and said upper edge; and 
 at least ⅓ of a distance from said lower edge to said upper edge being planar and free of said couplers. 
   
     
     
         5 . A building brick assembly configured to engage a brick system in lateral and vertical directions according to  claim 4 , wherein said male interconnection members are positioned on said top side. 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . A building brick assembly configured to engage a brick system in lateral and vertical directions according to  claim 4 , wherein said female interconnection members are also positioned on said top side. 
     
     
         8 . A building brick assembly configured to engage a brick system in lateral and vertical directions, said building brick assembly comprising:
 a mounting brick having a plurality of sides including a top side, a bottom side, a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side wherein said first and third sides are positioned opposite of each other;   a plurality of male interconnection members being integral to said mounting brick and extending away therefrom, said male interconnection members being located on at least one of said sides;   a plurality of female interconnection members being integral to said mounting brick and extending into a surface of said mounting brick, said female interconnection members being located on at least one of said sides;   said male and female interconnection members being configured to releasably engage bricks from a building brick system and to engage male and female interconnection members of other ones of said building brick assembly;   said male interconnection members being positioned on said top side;   said female interconnection members being positioned on said bottom side;   at least one of said first, second, third or fourth sides including said male interconnection members;   at least one of said first, second, third or fourth sides including said female interconnection members;   wherein the sides having the female and male interconnection members thereon only solely have either the female interconnection members or the male interconnection members thereon;   said male and female interconnection members defining couplers;   wherein one of said plurality of sides includes:
