Abstract:
A masonry block includes a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, a front surface and an opposing rear surface, a first side surface and an opposing second side surface, an x-direction defined as extending parallel to the rear and bottom surfaces between the first and second side surfaces, and a y-direction defined as extending perpendicular to the x-direction between the front and rear surfaces, and a set of three leveling pads disposed on the rear surface. The set of three leveling pads being positioned on the rear surface such that the three leveling pads provide four regions of overlap with leveling pads of two similar blocks in both block courses above and below the given block when the blocks are arranged in a running bond pattern, such that the four regions of overlap form four load transfer lines through each block in the wall.

Claim (Index 1):
A masonry block comprising:\n a top surface and an opposing bottom surface; a front surface and an opposing rear surface; a first side surface and an opposing second side surface, an x-direction defined as extending parallel to the rear and bottom surfaces between the first and second side surfaces, and a y-direction defined as extending perpendicular to the x-direction between the front and rear surfaces; and a set of three leveling pads disposed on the rear surface including:\n first and second leveling pads disposed on a first half of the block between a centerline extending in the y-direction and the second face, the first and second leveling pads having a first width in the x-direction; and \n a third leveling pad disposed on a second half of the block between the centerline and the first surface, the third leveling pad having a second width in the x-direction, the first and second widths at least equal to an overlap distance, first edges of the first and second leveling pads being at a first distance in the x-direction from the second side surface, and a first edge of the third leveling pad being at a second distance in the x-direction from the centerline toward the first side surface, the first distance being greater than or equal to a sum of the second distance and the overlap distance minus the first width, and the first distance being less than or equal to a sum of the second distance and the second width minus the overlap distance.
