Construction set for making cohesive monuments

摘要

A structural assembly includes a square trough-shaped stone having inclined external corner regions and a dovetailed groove formed in each wall side. The dovetail tongue of a connecting plate fits into the dovetailed groove. At the lower end of the internal surface of each wall of the stone, a shoulder portion may be provided for accommodating base elements. The height of the connecting plate is advantageously greater than the height of the trough-shaped stone, so that the plate projects beyond the stone in a vertical direction for connection to further stones. With such an assembly, it is possible to erect dry-stone type walls of various types. The individual elements of the assembly can be produced rationally and economically, and it is also possible to produce end elements and corner elements from the trough-shaped stones by cleaving the stones along grooves provided for such purpose.
