  • Patent number: 6170221
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering mortar to blocks or bricks used for forming a wall. The system includes a pressurized tank which is used for receiving and dispensing the mortar at an elevated pressure. A delivery hose is attached to the tank. The delivery hose serves for carrying the mortar from the pressurized tank to a desired location. A bifurcated nozzle having an inlet and a pair of outlets is used for concurrent delivery of the mortar. The nozzle is attached to the delivery hose. The inlet of the nozzle is in fluid communication with the delivery hose. The mortar is delivered from the pressurized tank through the hose and then discharged as a plurality of streams or beads of mortar from the outlets of the nozzle onto the block used for forming the wall. The streams of mortar are placed on the ends and opposite edges of the side face of the block. Each block is placed end to end next to each other forming a first course of blocks.

  • Patent number: 5937610
    Abstract: A method of forming a structural wall using lightweight or heavyweight block or brick. A removable lightweight wall panel is used as a guide for forming the wall. The method includes first installing the removable wall panel vertically next to a chalk line on the foundation. The chalk line is used to mark a horizontal line along one side of the wall to be constructed. The wall panel is plumbed vertically and leveled horizontally. The wall panel includes horizontal level lines 8 inches, 2 feet and 6 feet from a bottom of the wall panel. The level lines are used as a level guide to make sure each row or course of blocks are level as a block wall is built upwardly. A bonding agent is now placed on the bottom and on one end of a plurality of concrete blocks for forming a first course of blocks. The blocks are then laid end to end next to each other and next to one side of the wall panel for forming a first row of blocks. The bonding agent is then applied to the top of the first course of blocks.
