Definitions

• This invention relates generally to brick laying tools and more particularly relates to a brick laying tool or tools which will enable an inexperienced user to lay bricks course upon course, to a professional standard of appearance and structural requirements.
• 'Another object of this invention is to provide a brick wall mortar perpend tool .
• a tool for carrying mortar and laying mortar joints upon a brick wall course comprising a body with a tray portion having the bottom thereof formed into an opening fo dispensing mortar therefrom, the lateral dimensions of the opening corresponding substan ially to the dimensions of mortar laid upon a brick in a brick wall course, a slide plate bottom of the tray to open and close the tray opening being connected to, or integrally formed with at least one slide sleeve, the tray portion being connected to, or integrally formed with at least one runner for the at least one side sleeve, whereby inward and outward relative sliding movement of the sleeve and runner closes and opens the tray mortar dispensing opening.
• the slide plate bottom of the tray of the tool has a pair of integrally moulded sleeves there ⁇ on and the tray frame is integrally moulded with a pair of runners upon which the sleeves are adapted to be slidably reciprocated, the sleeves are interconnected by a handle extending therebetween, the runners are connected by a handle extending between outwardly directed end ' s .thereof and the handles are adapted to be moved towards' and away from each other to open and close the mortar dispensing opening.
• the invention resides in a brick wall, mortar perpend tool comprising an open-top hopper adapted to receive and carry mortar and which has a transverse bottom slot adapted to tte "placed over a mortar perpend gap on a brick wall after horizontal brick course has been laid, the mortar being adapted to be rammed into the perpend gap via the slot, while the hopper is in place on a brick wall course.
• a perpend mortar retaining leg depends downwardly from each bottom corner of the hopper, adjacent each end of the ' slot, the legs being adapted to retain mortar in the perpend gap between bricks, while mortar is being placed into the gap.
• the invention resides in a combination of both of the above tools as a kit to be used together.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view ol " one embodiment of a mortar course, mortar carrying and laying tool according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a perspective view of a mortar perpend tool according to the invention.
• Figure 3 is a perspective view of a mortar perpend rammer for use with the tool of Figure 2.
• Figure 4 is a vertical section taken along the line 4-4 of Figure 1 and shows the tool in position on a wall course.
• Figure 5 is a vertical section taken along the line 5-5 of Figure 2 and shows the tool in position on a wall course.
• a mortar course tool 10 for carrying and laying a definitive quantity of mortar upon a brick course which comprises a body with a substantially rectangular-shaped tray portion surrounding an open bottom of lateral dimensions substantiall equal to the area of mortar of courses between bricks in a brick wall structure, which tray portion is defined by side walls 11, 12 and end walls 13, 14, formed into a continuous rectangular, open framework adapted to be opened and closed by a sliding bottom plate in the form of a flat plate 15, adapted to be slidably .-.reciprocate laterally across the rectangular bottom opening.
• the sliding tray bottom 15 is integrally connected to two slide sleeves 16, 17, mounted upon (or integrally moulded with) tray and sleeve movement stop back plate 18 and which are connected thereto by.
• inner cross pull bar handle 19 the slides are sleeved upon, or adapted to run on runners or rods 20, 21, one or outer end of whic ' is fixedly connected to outer cross bar by rear pull handle 22, screw mounted between the runners.
• a front handle 23 is provided to assist correct placement of the device on a brick course.
• Two downwardly dependent locating lugs 24, 25 also assist in locating the device upon a brick course.
• a mortar perpend tool 26 constructed in accordance with the invention and which is designed to be used in conjunction with the mortar course laying tool of Figure 1, the perpend tool functioning as a hopper for mortar and being constructed in the form of an open top box adapted to straddle a brick course line and a front wall 27, rear wall 28, one full height side wall 29 and a sloping bottom 30, the upper edge of which is joined to a side wall 31 of reduced height.
• the bottom 30 slopes downwardly towards a perpend mortar feeding slot 32, shown in broken outline.
• a pair of vertical mortar perpend retaining legs 33, 34 are fixed to, or integrally moulded with the hopper portion and as shown in the encircled inset, the inner face of the legs may be convexly curved to mould the mortar perpend.
• a pair of laid-brick engaging lugs 35, 36 is provided for correctly aligning the hopper on a wall.
• a spatula as a mortar ramming tool 37 for manipulating the mortar within the hopper and ramming the mortar through the slot into a perpend between laid bricks.
• the vertical section of Figure 4 shows the sliding tray bottom 15 of the mortar course laying tool of Figure 1 in half-open position and in use.
• the tool sliding tray bottom is moved to fully closed position with a handle 19 fully extended in the direction of arrow C, the tool is the filled with mortar 38 (Fig. 4), preferably using a rectangular-shaped trowel (not shown) , the mortar is levell off and the tool is placed over laid bricks 39 (Fig.
• the tool hopper formed by walls 27, 28, 29, 31 and bottom 30 is filled with mortar mix and then placed over bricks 39, 40 with two locating legs 33, 34 in alignment with mortar, the space 41 between the bricks
• the mortar 42 is then manually dispensed into the mortar space 41 by the spatula 37, via the slot 32 at the bottom of the hopper.
• the slot is full and compacted, the tool is lifted off vertically, leaving the mortar between the bricks.
• the perpend tool filling of the vertical spaces (perpends) between bricks is carried out after the bricks are laid and aligned.
