ORNAMENTAL BRICK.
Speeification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 22, 1914. Serial No. 840,347.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL E. REAGAN, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornamental Bricks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an im rovement in ornamental bricks, the object bem to produce a brick the face and ends of w ich are roughened to produce a rough textile, or rug efl'ect.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure '1 is a view in perspective of a brickembodying my invention, and Figs. 2 and 3' represent sections of the clay slab showing the different steps in the manufacture of the 'brick.
In the method employed in the production ofthe rug brick, which is the trade term by which these particular bricks of my manufacture are now known, the clay or composition from which the brick is made, is thoroughly worked and forced through a die of'a stiff-clay machine in the form of a continuous mass rectangular in cross-section, the mass being subsequently cut into brick size by wires or other suitable cutting devices in the well known manner. After the clay or composition mass passes from the die, and while in aplastic condition, the upper face ofthe mass and the two sides thereof, are roughened by scratching, furrowing or scoring the surface of the mass as shown in Fig. 2, leaving the body of the plastic mass intact, and of the same density as it was before the said surfaces were acted upon. The strips or particles of the mass thus loosened, are more or less detached from the body of the same, and are then subjected to devices which operate the spread and distribute the strips or particles of clay in a confused or unsymmetrical layer across the faces of the mass as in Fig. 3 so that no two bricks will be exactly alike, and consequently 'will not present the sameness in appearance destroying the rug effect of the-surfaces.
I prefer to roughen the surfaces by parallel furrows in the direction of movement of the moving mass of clay as it leaves the die of the brlck machine, so that they will be vertical when the bricks are placed in a Wall, and thus provide for drainage. Again instead of roughening the surfaces of the clay mass before the latter is severed into blocks or bricks, the cutter may be intermediate the die and the roughening means; Again instead of treating three faces of each brick, some bricks may have only one face roughened and others one end, as it is only necessary that the exposedface or end be roughened.
Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:
1. As an article of manufacture a brick having a roughened face ofrug like texture, the said face being characterized by parallel furrows, the said furrows being more or less obliterated by a distribution of the material furrowed up.
2. A brick provided in its face with par- 'allel furrows the material separating the furrows being distributed .over the latter so as to partly obliterate the same.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribng witnesses.
DANIEL E. REAGAN.
