Abstract:
A block reinforcement cage made from reinforcing material and adapted for loading within a machine during a block manufacturing process for molding a concrete U-wall construction block structure. The block cage includes an open aperture formed in each of its stem reinforcing portions. During the block manufacturing process, the first and second support members of a support mechanism are inserted within the open apertures formed in the stem reinforcing sections of the block cage, and cooperate with the open apertures of the block cage so as to (i) support the block cage when being loaded into a block manufacturing machine, (ii) define central apertures molded in each stem portion of the concrete U-wall construction block structure, and (iii) lift the molded concrete U-wall construction block when being unloaded from the machine.

Claim (Index 1):
A block reinforcement cage made from reinforcing material and adapted for loading within a machine during a block manufacturing process for molding a concrete U-wall construction block structure including (i) a front wall panel of solid prismatic construction having a front wall surface, a rear wall surface, side wall surfaces, and top and bottom wall surfaces, and (ii) a pair of stem portions of solid prismatic construction, arranged in a parallel manner, and protruding from the rear wall surface of said front wall panel in a substantially perpendicular manner, wherein each said stem portion has a back surface, an inner side surface, an outer side surface, an upper surface, and a lower surface, and a central aperture formed in each said stem portion of said molded concrete U-wall construction block structure, and wherein said front wall panel has a central region disposed between said pair of stem portions, and a pair of end portions extending from said central region, said block reinforcement cage comprising:\n (i) a front wall reinforcing portion for reinforcing said front wall panel of said molded concrete U-wall construction block structure, and having a central reinforcing portion for reinforcing said central region, (ii) a first stem reinforcing portion and a second stem reinforcing portion, said first and second stem reinforcing portions being connected to said front wall reinforcing portion about said central region, for reinforcing said pair of stem portions of said molded concrete U-wall construction block structure, and (iii) an open aperture formed centrally in each one of said first and second stem reinforcing portions, for receiving first and second support members of a support mechanism employed during said block manufacturing process, wherein said open apertures centrally formed in said stem reinforcing portions of said block cage cooperate with said first and second support members of said support mechanism during said block manufacturing process and are configured to (i) support said block cage when said block cage is being loaded into said machine during block cage loading operations, (ii) define said central apertures molded in each stem portion of said molded concrete U-wall construction block structure during block molding operations, and (iii) support said molded concrete U-wall construction block structure when said molded concrete U-wall construction block is being unloaded from said machine during concrete block unloading operations.
