ABSTRACT:
A block assembly and wall system wherein a block of masonry, or other material is provided with a vertical through opening having an enlarged and offset lower portion and a smaller upper portion. An interlock element has an enlarged offset upper portion and a smaller lower portion to provide for insertion of the latter into the upper portion of a block opening. The upper portion of the element is entered into the lower portion of an adjacent block placed atop the first block. The blocks are thus secured in position horizontally and, alternatively, the blocks may be secured vertically or in a "battered" wall construction. That is, with the connecting elements in a first attitude, a conventional vertical wall is provided whereas a 180.degree. (one hundred eighty degrees) rotation of the elements about their vertical axis results in a "battered" wall.
