Application filed; March 31, 1921. Serial No. 457,476.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDMOND QUILLET, architect, a citizen of Switzerland, residing at Vevey, Canton of Vaud, in the Contederation of Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Brickmaking Machines (for which I have made applications for patents as "follows: Switzerland, 18th January, 1918;

France, 15th January, 1919; Great Britain, 17th January, 1919; Belgium, 23rd January,

1919; Italy, 29th January, 1919; Spain, 11th February, 1919), or whichthefollowing is a specification.

The ob ect of the invention is a machine ttor making bricks of compressible materials, in which two superposed plates are providedwhich are moved simultaneously so as to alternately move towards one another or apart from one another, thelower plate bearing the portion of the mould in which the compressible material is placed and the upper plate bearing the pistons or the like intended to. compress the said material,

. The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, one construction of the invention, intended to make several hollow bricks at a time.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine, partially insection.

Figure 2 is a. partial front elevation of Figure 1, j

Figure 3 is a plan view, partially in section, of Figure 2, I j 1 Figure A shows at an enlarged scale, a portion of the movable parts of the ma" chine.

Figure 5 is a plan view of one of the hollow bricks designed to be produced by the machine according to this invention.

Figure 6 is a plan view of three hollow bricks corresponding to the mould as shown in Figure 8 which is, with regard to the bricks, a sectionon the line A, A and B, B, oiFigure 6. Figure 7 is a partial section on the line A,A of the upper portion of one of the bricks of Figure 6.

Figure 8 is a similar section t-o theone of Figure 4 in which the movable parts of the machine are in another respective position. Figure 9 is a similar section to" the one of Figure 1 in which the movable parts of the machine are placed in a position corre sponding to the wheels G having been turned half a revolution from their position of Figure 2.

Figure 1O is a similar section showing the movable parts in a position corresponding to the wheels G having been turned three quarters of a revolution t'rom theposition shown in Figure 2.

Figures 11, 12 and 13' show in plan view, in a section on line D, D and in a sectionon line E E one oi: the removable plates 0 which are placed at the bottom of the box D of the mould to form the cavities cl and the projections c of the bricks a (see Figures 5 and 6.)

I The frame of the machine is provided with pillars (3' which form the guides for the movable plates A and B, connected by means of connecting rods E to the crank pins F, of the wheels G. The latter are acted upon by means of pinions H the rotation of which is caused by the pulley L acting upon the endless worms K gearing with the worm wheels I fixedto the aXles of the pinions H. A suitablehand lever (not shown) is pro vided for thepurpose of putting the wheels G in or out of gear at will.

The plate B of the machine carries the box D of the mould in which a plate 0 (Figure 8) is arranged to which are affixed the pro ections B intended to form the outer shape and also the holes of the hollow bricks,

as this may be seen by comparing the superposed parts in Figures 6 and 8.

Between the projections B there are pr0- vided removable plates which are loosely laid upon the bottom plateof box D. The

said removable plates O shown in Figures 11 to 13, are intended to mould the holes cl and projections c of the under face 01 the bricks.

. In the form as shown, the bricks are fur-- ther to be provided with holes each end of which is providedwith. a widening (Figure/7 intended to receive a plug connecting two adjacent bricks with one another. The widenings of the under face, of the brick are formed by means of the projectio-nsn into which are screwed the rods N intended to form the holes 6. j

The upper plate A is provided with projections A intended to exactly fit between the projections B of the lower plate. The

said parts A are further provided with pro- .jections it intended to fit the rods N and to form the widenings 7) of the upper face of the bricks.

The extraction rods N fixed to the plate M pass through the plate l3 and the plate 0 (Figures 8 and 10) and they bear against the lower face of the removable plates 0 The plate M is fixed to a traverse M which is capable of sliding along the rods P, fixed to the plate A and provided with a locking device intended to temporarily interlock the said traverse M and the rods P.

The described machine works as follows:

The parts being assumed to be in their respective position as shown in Figure 1, one fills the compressible material into the box D of the mould up to its top, as shown in Figure 8. Then one puts the wheels G into action thus causing the plates A and to move towards each other until they reach their end position shown in the Fig ures A and 9.

In the position shown in Figures 4cand 9 the pistons A have reached the position oi the greatest compression of the brick, which position is also indicated in Figure 8 by dotted lines. The pistons being now at the end of their stroke have completely formed the brick, the projections and non plate 0 and the projections n on the corresponding upper plate having produced corresponding cavities therein.

The traverse M by an automatic. device not. shown has now gripped the rods P, wherefore as the machine is continuing its movement and as the two plates A and B are beginning to retreat from each other, the plate M being coupled to the upper plate A will rise with the same, pushing thereby by means of the rods N, the plate 0 with the compressed brick resting. thereon, out of the descending mould D until the upper edge of said mould has reached the level of the stationary table Z of the machine. At this stage of the working of the machine the brick has been completely cleared off A the mould and is presented on the plate 0 ready to be removed by hand.

The, machine is then stopped and the bricks are taken of]? together with their sup porting plates 0 These plates 0 are then replaced by similar ones and then,,the lOOkiIlg connection between the traverse M and the rods P is unlocked which causes the plate M and the rods N fixed to the same to fall down to their position of Figure 1, when the workin may begin again.

l laving now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1. A machine for making hollow bricks of compressiblematerial comprising an upper plate, a lower plate, means for simultaneously moving the said plates toward and away from each other, a mold carried by the lower plate for receiving the material to be compressed into bricks, and means cooperating with the upper plate in the separation thereof from the lower plate for removing the bricks from the said mold in which the same are formed.

2. A machine for making hollow bricks of compressible material, comprising an upper plate, a lower plate, a mold device :arricd by the lower plate for receiving the material from which the bricks are to be formed, means for moving the upper and lower plates toward and away from one another, means for forming a bore in each brick, and means cooperating with the upper plate when the same is separated from the lower plate for removing the bricks l'rom the said mold device in which the same are formed.

3. A machine for making hollow bricks of compressible material comprising an upper plate, a lower plate, means for removing the said plates toward and away from each other, a mold device associated with the lower plate for receiving the material from which the bricks are to be made, auxiliary plates placed in the bottom of the said mold device for forming grooves and depressions in corresponding faces oi the bricks, and means cooperating with the upper plate when the said upper and lower plates are separated for moving the said auxiliary plates to remove the said bricks from the mold device.
