Abstract: A mausoleum for cremated remains includes linear and columnar displays of arrays of transparent display vessels which are relatively small but illuminated to have individual prominence as well as a pleasing aesthetic effect. The vessels rest on linear and columnar displays in secured positions but can be rearranged if desired. The enclosure may be of cruciform outline so as to provide visual variety and to permit expansion in a natural manner.

Abstract: A module readily assembled roofing system for overlying a base structure, e.g. of a house or building, comprising a plurality of elongated modules of identical cross-section, each support including a principal body member defining a planar upper surface for the support and means defining a guideway or keyway aperture accessible from the undersurface of the support. The support also includes a planar web member extending from the principal body member and a locking member engaged to the free edge of the web member, including a terminal bead at the upper end of the locking member. The locking member mates with the guideway within an adjacent module such that one module is slideably received in mating relation within the guideway of an adjacent module to lock adjacent supports against vertical displacement. The web members are coupled to the base structure as by rivets, and a plurality of overlying covering members are affixed to the top surface of the body members.

Abstract: In a wall construction prefabricated from interconnectable complementary panels each of the panels includes a pair of generally rectangular, offset planar surfaces and a number of metal interconnectors attached thereto at least along the margins for interengagement with complementary interconnectors along like margins of other panels. Flat panels and other shapes may be joined together with different offset relationships in order to achieve desired wall and panel geometries while securing panels together.

Abstract: A method and mass for the drainage, irrigation and lightening of soils is constituted by hollow elements dispersed in soil so as to define capillary or semi-capillary passages. The elements are bulked up so that they can rest in an irregular fashion one relative to the others by providing in between them spaces of variable shapes and dimensions thereby to supply drainage, irrigation, lightening and enrichment of soils.

Abstract: The wall construction is prefabricated from self-connectable elements divided each into four compartments by cross-pieces and each comprising a first hollow elements with a square frame forming also cross-pieces and diagonal ribs. The first hollow element has on one side protruding fingers for cooperating with a facing plate formed with holes corresponding to the protruding fingers, the diagonal ribs protruding on other side of the frame and being each formed with at least one notch complementary to that of the similar diagonal ribs carried by a second element made in the same manner as the first element but closed on its side opposite to that form which protrude the diagonal ribs so that said second element forms a facing surface.

Abstract: The mass for the drainage, irrigation and lightening of soils is constituted by hollow elements (1) delimiting capillar or semi-capillar passages. The elements (1) are bulked up so that they can rest in an irregular fashion one relative to the others by providing inbetween spaces of variable shapes and dimensions.Drainage, irrigation, lightening, enrichment of soils.

Abstract: The tiles define a succession of vaults on which protrude fingers or piles. One side of each plate has eyelets at the top of the vaults while the other side forms lugs able to be slidably engaged under the vaults of the contiguous tile. The plates are besides provided, on one of their end edges, with protruding rings corresponding to mating tongues formed beneath the opposite edge of a contiguous tile.

Abstract: A grating plate includes a succession of opposed symmetrical pyramids having arms connected at their tops with wax-drop shaped reinforcing elements. Fixing means are provided on the sides for connecting a plurality of grating plates together.

Abstract: The ground covering structure comprises a porous and resilient underlayer made of synthetic material forming open meshes or alveoles and which is anchored to the ground, and water-pervious vault forming elements having holes or slots through which water may flow, also made of synthetic material, with the formed vaults having a concavity turned towards the ground. The elements include means for their connection with the underlayer on which they are applied and having a top provided with shags or filaments having free ends, with the free ends of said shags or filaments all ending substantially in the same plane.
