Abstract:
A multi-use block including a block body having at least a first leg. The blocks can be placed in different orientations with respect to each other to form multiple interlocking structures. The block can be a variety of materials, including concrete, and when concrete, used for making walls and columns. Methods of making and methods of use are provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A building block comprising:\n (a) a body having opposite first and second sides, opposite first and second end faces extending between the first and second sides, and opposite first and second bearing faces extending between the first and second sides and the first and second end faces;\n (i) the first bearing face being an upper face in use; \n (ii) the first bearing face having a contact surface portion that is generally planar; \n (iii) the second bearing face having a contact surface portion that is generally planar;\n (A) the contact surface portion of the first bearing face and the contact surface portion of the second bearing face being generally parallel to each other; \n \n (b) the first side of the body defining a leg;\n the first side of the body having a first leg side, an opposite second leg side, and a leg end face extending between the first leg side and second leg side; \n (ii) the first side of the body having a first portion extending between the first end face and the first leg side; \n (iii) the first side of the body having a second portion extending between the second end face and the second leg side; \n (iv) the leg being narrower proximal the first portion and second portion of the first side of the body than at the leg end face; and \n (v) the leg end face defining a recess in complete extension between the first and second bearing faces and extending inwardly toward the second side of the body; the recess extending at least partially between the first leg side and second leg side; \n (c) wherein the distance between the first and second end faces at the second side of the body is greater than the distance between the first and second end faces at the first side of the body.
