Abstract: A locking beam to form a three-dimensional lattice in a construction system for plantable shoring walls comprising support blocks stacked one above the other with plane upper and under sides transversely to the longitudinal wall direction and acting as spacing means between individual planting level-forming longitudinal components consisting of a base plate and of a breast part joining same and always resting on two support blocks, each of the consecutive pairs of support block stacks forming together with the earth filled in them and the deposited longitudinal components a construction section acting as a static slope shoring unit is disclosed.

Abstract: A structural element system comprising substantially L-shaped longitudinal elements arranged in multi-level relationship having a horizontally extending base plate portion and an upwardly extending parapet element, and sectional support elements acting as vertical spacers for the longitudinal elements extending perpendicular to the direction of the longitudinal elements, the sectional supports having upper and lower mounting surfaces and adopted for engagement by the base plate portions of the longitudinal elements to provide a wall capable of dividing shearing forces acting on the wall vertically and longitudinally so that the wall stands erect, retaining a slope surface and provides areas for the accommodation of plants, small foliage or the like.

Abstract: Outdoor furniture and the like comprising a plurality of seat elements having longitudinal recesses formed in the bottom thereof and transverse openings extending therethrough, the openings having an enlarged counterbore at the ends thereof in the sides of the seat elements, a plurality of back elements, each of the back elements having a longitudinal recess formed in the rear thereof and transverse openings extending therethrough, the transverse openings having enlarged counterbores at the ends thereof, a plurality of angled support members having one portion lying in the recess in the seat element and another portion lying in the recess in the corresponding back element, a spacer element having an axial bore therein positioned between adjacent seat elements and between adjacent back elements and lying in the counterbores in the respective elements, flexible tie rods extending through the openings in adjacent elements and through the spacer elements and the support member, and means for securing the tie rods

Abstract: Disclosed is a system of construction elements for the erection of plant-accommodating, slope-retaining walls comprising L-shaped longitudinal elements arranged in multilevel relationship, having a horizontally extending base plate portion and an upwardly extending railing portion; and sectional support elements acting as vertical spacers for the longitudinal elements extending horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the longitudinal elements and having upper and lower seating surfaces adapted for communication with the base plate portion of the longitudinal element; wherein a slope-retaining wall formed from the L-shaped longitudinal elements and the sectional support elements capable of dividing shearing forces acting on the wall vertically and longitudinally so that the wall stands erect, retains a slope surface and provides areas for the accommodation of plants, small foliage or the like.
