  • Publication number: 20080063480
    Abstract: An invertible retaining wall block comprises a front portion, a rear portion and a neck portion connecting the front portion and rear portion. A projection extends outwardly from the block to interlock with similar blocks in adjacent courses of blocks. One or more notches are provided to the front portion in order to allow the base course of blocks to be placed in an inverted orientation with respect to subsequent courses because the notch provides clearance for the protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20070234665
    Abstract: A modular block wall system is comprised of a plurality of differently sized blocks. Each block comprises a front surface and opposing rear surface, a top surface and opposing bottom surface, and first and second opposing tapered side surfaces. Blocks further includes a recess extending inwardly from top surface and a protrusion extending outwardly from bottom surface. Blocks may also include a plurality of cores through the block from top surface to bottom surface. Blocks may further include a removable portion that can be cleaved off to create a decorative face on rear surface. The projection on each block is configured to fit within the recess of a block in the next lower course of blocks, regardless of the sizes of the respective blocks. Preferably, the varying lengths and heights of the blocks are evenly divisible by a uniform dimension. This allows modular blocks to be easily put together in any configuration to create a finished looking, yet non-uniform wall.
