Modular shuttering block

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a modular shuttering block defining a through-housing that connects a first face of the modular block and a second face opposite the first face, for the reception of a filling material; the modular block being provided with means for assembling with at least one other block. According to the disclosure, the modular block is in the form of a right prism with isosceles triangular bases formed by the first and second faces. The disclosure also relates to an assembly formed by a plurality of such modular blocks and finds application notably for the production of swimming pool steps.

1 . A modular shuttering block defining a through-housing connecting a first face of the modular block and a second face opposite the first face for receiving a filling material; the modular block being provided with assembly means for assembly with at least one other block, wherein the modular block is in the shape of a right prism with isosceles triangular bases formed by the first and second faces. 
     
     
         2 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the through-housing is defined by at least three walls forming the rectangular lateral faces of the right prism, two of the at least three walls having the same dimensions. 
     
     
         3 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the two walls having the same dimensions are orthogonal. 
     
     
         4 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the through-housing comprises a plurality of ribs delimiting at least one through-compartment. 
     
     
         5 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the assembly means are formed on each of the two lateral walls of the same dimension. 
     
     
         6 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the assembly means include at least one male member and one female member configured for engaging with male and female members of another block. 
     
     
         7 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the male member is formed by a tenon of a trapezoidal section extending from the first face to the second face and the female member is formed by a groove of complementary shape, making assembly possible by sliding with another block. 
     
     
         8 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the tenon has different widths at the first and second face, so as to lock the sliding of the tenon in the groove of the complementary shape of the another block during assembly. 
     
     
         9 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the groove has different widths at the first and second face, so as to lock the sliding of a tenon of complementary shape of another block in the groove during assembly. 
     
     
         10 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the groove comprises a stop in its narrowest end capable of locking a tenon of another block in a defined assembly position. 
     
     
         11 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the tenon comprises a notch in its narrowest end capable of engaging with the stop of the groove of another block, for locking the tenon in a defined assembly position. 
     
     
         12 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the walls, the plurality of ribs and the assembly means are made of plastic material. 
     
     
         13 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the assembly means are integrated into the lateral walls of the same dimension. 
     
     
         14 . An assembly formed of a plurality of modular shuttering blocks as recited in  claim 1 , the modular blocks being juxtaposed in rows. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly as recited in  claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of rows of modular blocks superimposed on one another. 
     
     
         16 . An assembly comprising a superimposed plurality of modular shuttering blocks as recited in  claim 14 , and further comprising a rail slid into an opening formed by the alignment of through-compartments of the modular blocks. 
     
     
         17 . A set of swimming pool steps including an assembly as claimed in  claim 14 . 
     
     
         18 . The modular shuttering block as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the through-housing comprises a plurality of ribs delimiting at least one through-compartment.
