(57) This invention relates to a type of interlocking slabs designed to form road or driveway
paving or the like, wherein the slabs or blocks are constituted by a substantially
parallelepiped-shaped body which is bevelled or chamfered at the upper edges, thereby
forming a raised part with dimensions smaller than those of the slab, which said raised
part is designed to form the wearing surface of the paving. A feature of the invention
is that said raised part is not symmetrical, and preferably not aligned with the sides
of the slab, so that when the slabs are placed next to one another to form the paving,
gaps of different widths are left between one slab and the next and the gaps are not
perfectly aligned, thus giving the impression of crazy paving made from common, generally
irregular blocks of stone rather than industrially manufactured slabs. The result
is paving which gives the impression of being "old", ie. resembles paving made with
the same technique as used to be employed for driveways.
