Framework block or brick consisting of modular elements of formed sheet steel or aluminum and comprising jointing means
First Claim
1. A framework block or brick of sheet steel or aluminum which is press formed, which has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, which is of a modular framework structure, and which is formed by elements placed along the corners and the diagonals of the parallelepiped, comprising:
- (a) two identical component elements having the shape of rectangular pyramids disposed with opposite vertices and the bases of which are the external facing surfaces of the block or brick; and
(b) four angle bars having a C-cross section and forming the corners perpendicular to the external facing surfaces,wherein each of said component elements includes a base frame and two V-shaped elements or ribs which form the corners of the pyramid and extend and intersect such that each V-shaped element forms a pair of opposite semidiagonals having a first flattened end for connection to the base frame at the corners thereof and a second flattened end corresponding to the vertex of the pyramid for connection to each other, the connections being made by fastening means.

Abstract
A framework block or brick consisting of modular elements of formed sheet steel or aluminum and having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped comprising: two identical, pyramid-shaped elements symmetrically disposed and composed each of a rectangular base frame defining the facing surface of the walls and corner elements or ribs forming the four opposite semidiagonals of the brick which are connected to the corners of the base frame, and four angle bars having substantially a C-section and connected to the corners of the respective base frame and provided with holes for the connection of the blocks to one another by fastening means. The elements or ribs intersect in a flattened central portion provided with holes for the connection of said ribs and the elements to one another by fastening means.
