Claims22
A block-making apparatus comprising,
- a compression head suspended from a frame,
- at least one guide rod positioned adjacent to the compression head,
- a stabilizing plate positioned substantially parallel to the at least one guide rod,
- a compression head guide member connected with the compression head and positioned between the at least one guide rail and the stabilizing plate, and
- a sliding member connected with the compression head guide member and positioned between the compression head guide member and the stabilizing plate,
- wherein the sliding member is arranged to slideably engage the stabilizing plate and the compression head guide member is arranged to slideably engage the at least one guide rod.
A method of inhibiting damage to a block fabricating machine including a compression head, a plunger assembly and a mold box, the method comprising:
- providing a compression head stabilizing kit, the kit including a stabilizing plate and a sliding member, and
- connecting the stabilizing kit with the block fabricating machine so that, when in use, at least one of a lateral or a front-to back movement of the compression head is decreased.
A method of inhibiting at least one of a lateral movement or a front-to-back movement of a compression head that is suspended from a frame and that includes a compression head guide member connected with the compression head wherein the compression head guide member is arranged to engage a guide rod positioned adjacent to the compression head comprising,
- providing a compression head stabilizing kit including a stabilizing plate, a first spacer member, a second spacer member and a sliding member.
