Abstract
A device for moulding bricks comprising a press to form blanks, moulding trays and projecting means formed by a carrier surface for inverting a blank by moving it along a circular path and for projecting it into a moulding tray wherein the carrier surface is guided in a manner such that it performs a pivotal movement during the movement along the last part of the circular path.
Claims20
A device for receiving a mass of clay which is to be formed into a brick and for depositing it accurately in a molding tray, said device comprising:
- a carrier member providing a carrier surface;
- and
- mechanism operative to move said carrier member from a position in which said carrier surface is upwardly facing to a final position in which said carrier surface is downwardly facing and in registry above a molding tray, said mechanism including means for placing said carrier surface in a first downwardly facing position substantially in registry above the mold tray prior to attaining said final position and for thereafter guiding said carrier member arcuately downwardly to said final position whereby the mass of clay is subjected principally to a vertically downward impetus into accurate reception within the molding tray.
A device for receiving a mass of clay and then transferring it to an associated molding tray without imparting to the mass of clay any substantial component of impetus as would tend to cause the mass to misregister with the associated molding tray, said device comprising:
- a carrier member defining a carrier surface;
- and
- mechanism for moving said carrier member along an arcuate path from an initial position in which said carrier surface is upwardly facing to a final position in which said carrier surface is downwardly facing and in registry above the associated molding tray, said mechanism including means for causing said carrier member to pivot relative to said arcuate path as the carrier member moves to said final position.
