Abstract:
A dual-unit paving system for covering a surface is provided. The system comprises pairs of first and second units. For each pair, the first and second unit have different respective shapes and sizes, and are configured to be matingly engageable for forming a hexagonal assembly having six, non-linear sides. The hexagonal assembly allows forming rotational tessellations. The first and second units are also shaped and configured to be matingly engageable so as to form horizontally aligned tessellations, and also vertically aligned tessellations.

Claim (Index 1):
A dual-unit paving system for covering a surface formed by a rotational tessellation of a plurality of pairs of first and second units; the dual-unit pavement system comprising:\n (a) at least a first row of first and second units; (b) a least a second row of first and second units; (c) each of the first units having a lower face for facing the ground, an exposed upper face, and sidewalls extending from the lower face, the sidewalls of the first unit including a top side, a bottom side, a left side and a right side; (d) each of the second units having a lower face for facing the ground, an exposed upper face, and sidewalls extending from the lower face, the sidewalls of the second unit including a top side, a bottom side, a left side and a right side, the second unit having a shape different from a shape of the first unit; (e) the bottom side of the first unit having a non-linear, irregular outline matingly engageable with an outline of the top side of the second unit for forming a hexagonal assembly having six non-linear sides, the hexagonal assembly allowing to form rotational tessellations; and (f) the first and second units being shaped to form both one of a stack bond configuration and a running bond configuration;\n (i) the stack bond configuration including the first units of the first row engaging against the respective first units of the second row; and \n (ii) the running bond configuration including the first units of the first row engaging against the second respective second units of the second row.
