Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A wall of bricks is built with perfect alignment in a [30] Foreign Apphcauon Pnonty Data comparatively short time and with less mortar than is Sept. 20, 1968 Portugal ....50,341 generally used in comparable walls.
  • Each of the bricks in the wall has at its top a groove which has on each of its sides upwardly extending lips so that a caulking [52] US. Cl. ..52/747, 52/436, 52/603, ruler can be positioned in the grooves of contiguous 52/749 bricks to align them and a sled filled with mortar can [51] Int. Cl.
  • the bricks are provided with longitudinal grooves at their tops so that a caulking ruler can be positioned in the grooves of contiguous bricks to align them.
  • A'mortar sled is then passed over the aligned bricks to deposit mortar on either side of the longitudinally aligned grooves to thus prepare the bricks for a subsequent tier.
  • FIG. 1 shows a wall being constructed in accordance with the present invention wherein a tier of bricks is being provided with mortar to prepare it for a subsequent tier;
  • FIG. 2 shows the sled which is used to apply mortar to the bricks being filled with mortar
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary view in perspective showing a brick and a caulking ruler used to align it with contiguous bricks;
  • FIG. 4 is a view showing how the caulking ruler of FIG. 3 is used by a workman to perform its aligning function.
  • bricks 1 have been put in place to form a brick wall.
  • -A mortar sled 2 is being moved over the upper tier of bricks.
  • the sled contains mortar 5 which passes through openings in the bottom of the sled to provide bands 6 of mortar on the tops of the bricks.
  • the bands 6 are parallel and extend adjacent to the side edges of the bricks.
  • mortar 5 can be supplied by means of a shovel or loading ladle 4 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the sled has at its bottom openings Wl'IlCh are of a size and shape to assure that the proper amount of mortar can be applied.
  • Each of the sides 10 of the sled includes a lower portion 12 which slides over the bricks and which defines the outer limits of the bands 6 of mortar.
  • the inner margins of the bands 6 are defined by upwardly extending lips 14. After the upper tier of bricks 1 has been provided with bands of mortar 6 another tier of bricks is put in place.
  • the bands of mortar 6 are of the thickness, width and height which are necessary for a perfect setting of each tier. Thus, there is no need to remove waste mortar.
  • the upper row of bricks is aligned by means of a caulking ruler 3 which is positioned between the lips 14 which as shown in FIG. 3 define the upper portion of a groove 16. As shown in FIG. 1, the lips 14 extend into and engage the side walls of a channel 18 in the bottoms of the bricks in the upper tier. This assures alignment and adds to the strength of the wall.
  • Guide line 7 serves as a check to see that the tier of bricks being set is in alignment with the tier below it.
  • the caulking ruler 3 is long enough that it extends over several bricks when being used to align them.
  • the present invention does not provide for mortar in the vertical joints between the bricks. It has been found that these joints need not be filled with mortar to give a strong wall. It is also to be noted that the bricks made in accordance with the present invention are preferably hollow as shown in FIG. 3 and therefore will have better insulating characteristics without mortar at the vertical joints because no mortar will seal off the air spaces between contiguous bricks in the same tier.
  • a method of constructing a brick wall comprising the steps of providing a plurality of bricks having along their bottoms a channel and at their upper surfaces a groove both extending parallel to the longitudinal axes of the bricks an upwardly extending lip on each side of said groove; laying a plurality of bricks end to end to form a line of bricks; inserting an alignment ruler into said groove over the length of several of said bricks to align said bricks; removing said ruler; applying parallel bands of mortar over said line of bricks, one band on either side of said grooves; positioning a second line of bricks over said first line and aligning said second line of bricks on top of said one line of bricks in the upper tier so that said lips engage against the side walls of said channels. 7
