MULTIPLE BRICK MOLD.

IAOGAQGO.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented .F b 14 1922.

Application filed. March 10, 1321. Serial No. 451,411.

Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements 1n Multiple a device of the character indicated involving unit mold forming members, each including a base plate adapted to be supported on one longitudinal edge and having applied thereto a series of right angled plates disposed in contiguous alignment on said base plate, with one leg overlying the base plate and the other leg normal thereto, and end plates to whichthe several parallelmold forming members are secured, so that the seriesof 1 legs of the right angle plates on the front face of each base 'p late engages the rear wall of the adjacent parallel base plate.

whereby the majority of the individual mold units are formed by the two types of elements, represented by the base plate and the attached right angle plates, and the multiple mold as a whole is made up of these latter members and the end plates. and may be quickly assembled and knocked down, and

'may also be extended indefinitely in a longitudinal direction by'juxtaposing and corn necting assembled multiple'units made up of the parts as indicated.

The foregoing and other novel features of the invention will be more particularly set forth in the annexed specification, predicated upon the accompanying drawings, in which r p Fig. 1 is a perspective view, broken transversely through the mid section, showing the multiple mold carried by a truck; I

Fig. 2 is a broken perspective view of one of the supports which maybe used in connection with the mold; r

Fig. 3 is a broken perspective view of one of the end plates; and I Fig. e is a perspective view of one of the unit mold forming members associated with one of the base supports.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the base plate of one of the multiple mold forming units, which plate 1 is preferably provided with end lugs 2 which may be formed integrally therewith or secured thereto. Flrmly secured by any suitable means, such as riveting, welding or the like, to the face of the base plate 1 is a series of mold forming plates, including a leg 3 overlying the base plate and a leg l normal thereto and to the base plate. These right angle mold members, comprising legs 3 and 4, are arranged in longitudinal abutting series, and

the last member of the series is preferably formed by the slngle plate '3 with no right angularly disposed leg, as thefunction of the latter will be subserved by the endplate which crosses the open ends of all the individual mold sections, as will be more particularly'explained hereinafter. The inner face of each of themold members 3 and 3' is provided with a projection 5, which may take any desired form, and which constitutes the core for formingthe frog in the block or brick. 7 l

In order to build up a multiple mold, the series of the units, such as illustrated in Fig. 4, are assembled in parallel relation with the angular legs 4 normal to each base plate engaging the rear face of the adjacent base plate, as illustrated'in Fig. 1, and, when the units have been assembled in requisite 1 number, end plates 6 are applied, by pass- ;ing the tongues 52 on the respective ends of unit base plates 1 through slots 8 in the said end plates. The end plates are also provided with yertical angle bars 7, which determine the widthof the multiple mold section, the

base plate of the initial unit being supportmay, if desired, be, a plain section of the same dimensions as the other base plates,

which'is engaged behind the angle irons 7.

In other words, the final base plate 1 may have the mold forming sections, formed by a the rightangle plates 3 and L, omitted therefrom, but in other respects is substantially identical with the other base plates 1,

hen a multiple mold is to be assembled on a smooth floor or molding bed, the base plates 1 and the right angle plates attached.

which will present a smooth surface forthe. bottom of the multiple molds, and the sup? porting element is preferably made in the form shown in Fig. 2, involving a relatively wide face plate 15, which is of substantially the same length asbase plate 1 of the indi-v vidual mold units, and'which is supported by angle irons 16, the whole constituting a bench like element, and when several of these are arranged side byside, they will constitute a smooth, level support for the entire series of mold sections. When the apparatus is used: in conjunction with the supporting elements, certain of the base plates 1 are made 01 a: greater depth than the attached mold plates 3 and 4:, ed that the lower, edges of the deeper base plates shall overhang the edges of the supporting-plates 15, thereby not only insuring the proper adjustment and alignment-of the variousbase plates, but materially strengthening the as sembled mold asa whole. The supporting elements 15 may, if desired, be made wide enough to receive several ofthemold forming sections carried. by the individual base plates, 1, in which event" only those base plateswhich lie adjacent the lateral edges of the supporting, members 15 would be extended downwardly, to a greater depth than the mold forming plates carried thereby. Such a disposition and=arrangement of the supporting member 15 is illustratedl-in' Fig. 1, in which the multipleymold is supported on a truck, the'latter having theusual framework, including transversebeams 20 and supporting wheels 21, said, crossbeamsbeing provided, with cleats or abutments 23 properly spaced to receive the endpla-tes 6 as well asintermediate spacings blocks 24 interposed between theucleats and the base plates or mold sections to. prevent-the latter being sprung" out of shape. Any suitable means may be providedforpositively looking the individual base plates or mold forming units to the end plates, sothat theassembled multiple mold may retain its, proper shape, and, when such an assembled multiple mold or longitudinalseries of multiple mold frames are applied to a supporting truck, as illustrated in Fig. 1; the-latter is provided with upwardly extending yoke or stake members 22, betweenwhich and, the endplates 60f the mold section or sections wedgesoi other clamping. means may be applied.

As, indicated, the multiple moldmay be extended longitudinally by placing-two or more of the frames, with the assembledgmold forming elements therein, in longitudinal alignment, the. end plate6 ofroneofithe mold frames serving; as adivision plate, be. tween the two sections, the slots 8 therein preferably being made large enoughto receive-the1lugs-on the-ends ofthebase plates of; each section,

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that the apparatus involves material elements oi": economy in construction and application, in that, in its simplicity of form for use on smooth and level floors, it includes only two types of individuale1ements, namely, the mold forming members, each comprising a base plate 1 and mold forming members 3 and 4 attached thereto and the end plates -6, and evenwhenithe apparatus is employed Wltllitllfi separate supporting members 15, the number: of unit types are increased by two only, the sup-' porting members 15 and the mold forming members,includingthe deeper base plates 1. The apparatus is also much simpler and more efiicient in operation than similarxdevices, as heretofore developed, in that'itmay be readily assembled by unskilled laborers,

and, after the pour haspbeen made, and the bricks or blocks allowed to set; the entire apparatus can be quickly takendownlto release the bricks or-blocks WithOUt danger. of damaging or chipping theflatter',assthelmold forming sections maybe readilywitlrdrawn laterally from theirows of'molded bricks or blocks as soon as the end plateshave; been displaced. Furthermore, the simplicity of the construction insures the apparatus and the elements thereof against damage or impairment duringordmaryusage, and, should any one ofthe units bedamaged', it may be readily replaced by another, as all of the units of the same type -are-interchangeable What I claim is: 1 1 a '1.
