Abstract

A dual-face dual-split concrete product comprises a first face of horizontal length X and an opposing second face of horizontal length Y, the first face and second face being substantially parallel to one another according to a trapezoidal shape, and with X>Y; generally opposing sidewalls that taper in from the first face to the second face; and generally opposing top and bottom faces adjoining the first face, second face, and opposing sidewalls, with the top face and bottom face being substantially parallel to one another; wherein the first face has one or more subfaces, including one or more inner subfaces intermediate two outer subfaces, with the inner subfaces having a horizontal length L substantially equal to the horizontal length Y of the second face as measured across the concrete product.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dual-face dual-split concrete product, comprising:
 a first face of horizontal length X and an opposing second face of horizontal length Y, the first face and second face being substantially parallel to one another according to a trapezoidal shape, and with X>Y;   generally opposing sidewalls that taper in from the first face to the second face; and   generally opposing top and bottom faces adjoining the first face, second face, and opposing sidewalk, with the top face and bottom face being substantially parallel to one another;   wherein the first face has one or more subfaces, including one or more inner subfaces intermediate two outer subfaces, with the inner subfaces having a horizontal length L substantially equal to the horizontal length Y of the second face as measured across the concrete product.   
     
     
         2 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 there is an odd number of inner subfaces.   
     
     
         3 . The concrete product of  claim 2 , wherein:
 there are three inner subfaces.   
     
     
         4 . The concrete product of  claim 2 , wherein:
 were are five inner subfaces.   
     
     
         5 . The concrete product of  claim 2 , wherein:
 there are seven inner subfaces.   
     
     
         6 . The concrete product of  claim 2 , wherein:
 there are nine inner subfaces.   
     
     
         7 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 there is an even number of inner subfaces.   
     
     
         8 . The concrete product of  claim 7 , wherein:
 there are two inner subfaces.   
     
     
         9 . The concrete product of  claim 7 , wherein:
 there are four inner subfaces.   
     
     
         10 . The concrete product of  claim 7 , wherein:
 there are six inner subfaces.   
     
     
         11 . The concrete product of  claim 7 , wherein:
 there are eight inner subfaces.   
     
     
         12 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 one or more of the inner subfaces are substantially parallel to one another.   
     
     
         13 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the two outer subfaces has a horizontal length of approximately (X−L)/(2).   
     
     
         14 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the two outer subfaces are substantially parallel to the second face according to the trapezoidal shape.   
     
     
         15 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a same cutting assembly cuts both the first face and second face of the concrete product.   
     
     
         16 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a same cutting assembly cuts both the first face and second face of conjugate concrete products.   
     
     
         17 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a same cutting assembly cuts both the first face and second the of conjugate concrete products across a single ingot.   
     
     
         18 . The concrete product of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a same cutting assembly cuts both the first face and second face of conjugate concrete products across adjacent ingots.   
     
     
         19 . A dual-face dual-split concrete product, comprising:
 a first face of horizontal length X and an opposing second face of horizontal length the first face and second face being substantially parallel to one another according to a trapezoidal shape, and with X>Y;   generally opposing sidewalls that taper in from the first face to the second face; and   generally opposing top and bottom faces adjoining the first face, second face, and opposing sidewalls, with the top face and bottom face being substantially parallel to one another;   wherein the first face has one or more subfaces, including one or more inner subfaces intermediate two outer subfaces, with the inner subfaces having a horizontal length L substantially equal to the horizontal length Y of the second face as measured across the concrete product; and   wherein the second face has one or more subfaces.   
     
     
         20 . The concrete product of  claim 19 , wherein:
 one or more of the subfaces of the second face are substantially parallel to one another.   
     
     
         21 . A dual-face; dual-split concrete product, comprising:
 a first face of horizontal length X and an opposing second face of horizontal length Y, the first face and second face being substantially parallel to one another according to a trapezoidal shape, and with X>Y;   generally opposing sidewalls that taper in from the first face to the second face; and   generally opposing top and bottom faces adjoining the first face, second face, and opposing sidewalls, with the top face and bottom face being substantially parallel to one another;   wherein the first face has one or more subfaces, including one or more inner subfaces intermediate two outer subfaces, with the inner subfaces having a horizontal length L substantially equal to the horizontal length Y of the second face as measured across the concrete product;   wherein the second face has one or more subfaces; and   wherein one or more of the inner subfaces of the first face are substantially parallel to one or more of the subfaces of the second face.
