facing of material of other kind than th' body, such facing, for instance, to be of glass or porcelain or analogous material.
The object of my invention is to form the brick with a facing at one and the same operation, thus forming the whole an integral piece without the necessity of using a cement of any typeto secure the facing to the body of the brick. This results in a cheap construction, a solid structure, and a brick in which the face cannot by any possibility become detached.
In the drawings, Figure I is a view in side elevation, illustrating a brick constructed according to my invention, showing the same partly in section for the purpose of illustrating attaching-lugs formed with the facing. Fig. II is a cross-sectional view illustrating the manner in which the brick is formed or may be formed. Fig. III illustrates a brick formed according to my invention in which the facing is made to extend slightly beyond the body of the brick, so that when the bricks are placed side by side space is left between the contiguous body for mortar or cement, while the faces are joined or abut. Figs. IV, V, and VI illustrate modifications of lugs which may be employed in connection with the facing to act as keys for retaining the facing to the body. I
A represents the body of the brick, which is formed of cement which will dry with sufficient hardness to produce a very firm compact body. This cement is composed, preferably, of a mixture of ordinary cement and sand in proper proportions, which may be varied, and other ingredients may be added to the ingredients before mentioned as found necessary or desirable.
B representsthe facing, which is composed, preferably, of glass or vitreous substance.
a plunger (1.
This facing B is preferably provided with lugs 12 b soconstructed and arranged, as shown in Fig. I or in Fig. V modifications, as to form a key when the body is cast or pressed thereon. These projections 12 b may be of any desirable form and of any suitable facing,'provided they are adapted to perform the just aforementioned function.
In forming the brick I take a facing B, place it in the mold face downward, as illustrated in Fig. II, pour the body A into the mold, and press the same firmly by means of This plunger, mold, and pressing mechanism may be of any suitable construction and operated either singly or in gangs. After the body A is pressed firmly in place it is removed, with the facing, from the mold and after it has set a short time is allowed to dry. In drying, the material contacts, so as to bind the facing firmly to the body, and no kiln-dryingis necessary. When the facing A projects beyond the edge of the body, as illustrated in Fig. III, the process is the same in forming it; but the mold should be formed as suggested by dotted lines in Fig. II, so that the brick may be removed therefrom.
The brick as above constructed has great advantages over bricks in which the face is secured to the body subsequent to the forming of the body by a cement, first, from a standpoint of economy in labor and material; second, the structure is integral, and no liability is had of the facing parting from the body, as the body is pressed to the facing during the manufacture of the brick. The structure is also more firm as far as its body portion is concerned than the ordinary brickbody and will hold mortar or cement better than the ordinary brick, and when the brick is formed for an interior facing or for an exterior facing the facing as a whole has the appearance of a uniform polished solid struc-- ture.
The facings B may be made ornamental in color or design, if desired, and when the design is altered it is only necessary to form the bottom of the mold upon which the face rests as a fallow-board to sustain the face.
What I claim is- A brick comprising a facing carrying lugs on its rear side, said lugs having contracted ICO portions, and abodyportion of cement applied hoga and State of Ohio, this 22d day of Septo said rear side of the facing While in aplaste1nb er, 1902. tic state whereby the cement may engage in said con tracted portions of the lugs and form MICHAEL MURPHY 5 a locking engagement therewith when the eement is in a hardened state.
