Abstract:
1. A paving stone, comprising: a main body having a multiplicity of substantially vertically oriented stone flanks, and wherein each of the stone flanks terminate at opposite corners; a multiplicity of interlocking elements A and B which are positioned in spaced relation along, and further extend perpendicularly outwardly relative to the respective stone flanks, and wherein the respective interlocking elements A and B are oriented in a predetermined grid pattern; an interlocking element C which extends perpendicularly outwardly relative to the respective stone flanks to a distance which is greater than the interlocking elements A and B, and which is further located between the opposite corners of the respective stone flanks; and an interlocking element D which extends perpendicularly outwardly relative to the respective stone flanks to a distance which is greater than the interlocking elements A and B, and which is further located in an adjacent, spaced relationship relative to an adjoining corner, and wherein no intervening interlocking elements A or B are located between the interlocking element D, and the adjoining corner, and wherein the interlocking elements C and D are located outside of the predetermined grid spacing in an inversely offset orientation, one relative to the other, and wherein each of the interlocking elements C and D come into contact with a flank of an adjacent paving stone having a similar construction, and further rest in movement restraining contact with the interlocking elements A or B of the adjacent paving stone so as to prevent any substantial shifting movement of the respective paving stones, one relative to the other, and while simultaneously forming a predetermined seam between the adjacent paving stones and which receives a filler material therein.
