(54) | Improved insulated building block |
(57) An improved masonry building block has rectangular side walls and a pair of connecting
arms spaced from each other and from the ends of the block. The arms are notched adjacent
one side wall to receive an insulating insert. A rectangular insulating insert has
cooperating notches which receive the arms with portions of the insert disposed in
the arm notches. Both the block side walls and the insert have marginal flanges which
overlap and interlock with contiguous blocks and inserts in a composite wall structure.
A multi-part insert is provided and has a first position where it resides within the
block for transport and a second position where it projects into overlapping relationship
with a subadjacent insert. |
