Abstract: A translucent construction block assembly, e.g. for a window or wall panel of non-standard size and/or shape, has a frame extending around an array of hollow translucent construction blocks assembled in horizontal and vertical juxtaposition, the blocks each having front and rear walls connected by a peripheral wall and the array having a periphery engaged by the frame so that the blocks are thereby retained in position. The blocks include partial blocks having openings interrupting the peripheral walls thereof, the partial blocks being juxtaposed with the openings at the periphery of the array. A seal of resilient material interposed between the array and the frame extends between the front and rear walls and closes the openings.

Abstract: A translucent block assembly, for use in a decorative wall, window or the like in a building, has a connector extrusion for connecting juxtaposed translucent blocks in an opening of a frame having a recess extending around the opening. The connector extrusion has an alignment projection fitting snugly into gaps in the peripheries of the blocks for aligning the blocks and abutment faces for abutment with the blocks, and also has outwardly facing side faces engaging snugly in the recess.

Abstract: A construction block comprising a generally rectangular hollow body having a pair of faces joined by side edges. There are spacing flanges extending about the side edges around the perimeter of the block adjacent and essentially parallel to the faces to ensure correct spacing of the blocks when arranged in a wall construction. Cavities for connecting adjacent blocks together are provided at each corner of the block. There is a spanning member having ends adapted for engagement in the cavities of adjacent blocks in order to connect blocks into a unified wall structure.
