Abstract: An interlocking building block (300) for use in constructing mortarless wall s in which the block (300) has a first face shell (320) in spaced relationship  with a second face shell (322) which define opposed inner surfaces for the block. Between the face shells, there stands at least one transversely- disposed bridge portion (324, 326) and a transverse end portion (328) which defines an operatively outer surface for the block and which closes one end of the block between the first and second face shells (320, 322). A grouting cavity (330) is formed between the transverse end portion (328) and a bridge  portion (324). Both the transversely-disposed bridge portions (324, 320) and  the transverse end portion (328) have integrally-formed projections (336, 33 8, 340) which extend above the height of the block (300) on an operatively-uppe r surface and corresponding recesses (342, 344, 346) are formed in an operatively-lower surface of the block. Channels (348, 350) are formed in th e opposed inner surfaces of the face shells (320, 322) which are adapted to receive and locate corresponding projections (336, 340) of an underlying interlocking block which is oriented orthogonally to the block, and the channels (348, 350) also define a reduced wall thickness in the first and second face shells (320, 322)which may be partially broken away to receive a  reinforcement bar (392) for reinforcing grout which is added to the grountin g cavity (330). Reinforcement bars (392) are accommodated in grooves (352, 354 ) disposed on a bottom surface of the blocks so as to be adjacent to wall openings for windows, doors and the like.

Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A composite sleeve for surrounding a polymeric cylinder of a self sealing vessel assembly for high pressure microwave assisted chemistry includes at least one wound fabric layer in which the winding is selected from the group consisting of filaments and yarns. The vessel assembly includes a polymeric cylinder and a circular polymeric cap for the cylinder, the cylinder being closed at one end and open at the other end to receive the cap. The open end of the cylinder has a lip that is beveled inwardly from the open end, and the circular polymeric cap has a beveled lower edge that engages the beveled lip when the cap is place upon the polymeric cylinder. For high pressure applications, a choke cylinder depends from the beveled lower edge of the cap, and has an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the polymeric cylinder so that the choke provides a self sealing mechanism for the cylinder as pressure from a chemical reaction.increases in the cylinder. A  supporting frame extends along the cylinder and across the lid and across the closed end of the cylinder, and prevents the lid from being displaced from the cylinder when pressure is generated inside of the vessel.
