BRIEF SUMMARY
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a national phase application corresponding to PCT/AT80/00004 filed Dec. 30, 1980 and based, in turn, upon an Austrian application No. AT/80/00037 filed Jan. 31, 1980 under the International Convention.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a block or brick for the construction of a two-shell tile stove having an internal shell of refractory blocks or bricks and an external shell of tiles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Tile stoves, which are generally made by stove fitters, consist of ceramic tiles with ribs arranged on their rear sides and running parallel to their edges. Said ribs are adapted to link the individual tiles to one another by means of connecting clamps or the like, and the joints between the tiles are closed by means of a refractory material. The internal structure, the flue gas vents, are also made by refractory blocks, which have to be processed to yield the required shape. The construction of a tile stove requires hard work, skill in the art as well as great technical skill. To facilitate assembly, efforts have been made to construct the tile stove with two shells. In this case, the internal shell and structure are made of refractory blocks, and then the outer surface is formed by tiles, either by individual tiles or by slabs consisting of tiles. This work, too, usually requires a person skilled in the art even though the work is substantially facilitated because of the external shell of tiles.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTIION
It is, therefore, the object of this invention to provide blocks of the afore-mentioned kind for the construction of a two-shell tile stove by means of which tile stoves of any size can easily be constructed without requiring any particular skill in the art. It is a particular object of the invention to facilitate the assembly of the internal shell and structure, such as flue gas vents etc.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention this is achieved by providing a block whose length and height are derived from the side length of the visible tile face with a longitudinal center rib on two faces which are intended for contact with adjacent blocks, and by providing a corresponding longitudinal groove on the two opposite faces of the block, each, and at least one first lateral groove arranged on a first side face and being equal to the longitudinal groove, at least one marginal distance of the lateral groove corresponding to the marginal distance of the longitudinal groove, the second of the two side faces being closed and planar, i.e. free from discontinuities.
Blocks having grooves and ribs on their faces in contact with adjacent blocks and on their side faces have already been described in the AT-PS No. 314.165. The blocks described therein have, however, grooves and ribs on both side faces so that they are unsuitable for the construction of the internal shell of a tile stove. In tile stoves, the side faces of the blocks directed towards the tiles must be closed and planar in order to prevent the formation of air cushions between the adjacent tiles and the blocks, which cushions would impair the heat conduction.
In a first embodiment of the invention the side faces are provided with at least two first parallel lateral grooves, the center distance of said grooves corresponding to the wall thickness of the block.
A particularly large number of positions of the blocks in respect of one another will be obtained by providing the side face with at least one second lateral groove being to the longitudinal groove, said second lateral groove intersecting the first lateral groove or grooves at a right angle, the marginal distance of said second lateral groove corresponding to the marginal distance of the longitudinal groove. This embodiment, too, preferably provides that at least two second parallel lateral grooves are arranged on the side face, the center distance of said second lateral grooves corresponding to the wall thickness of the block.
