Appncaaon ned May 16, 1904.. serrant. 208,153.
T0 @ZZ whom t may concer-71,:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. ALsIr, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Grand Forks, in the county of Grand Forks and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brick- Oonveyers, of which the'following is a specification.
My invention relates to an apparatus for facilitating the transportation of molded brick or the like from a molding-machine or brickpress to the drying-yard or other desired point; and the object thereofis to provide an apparatus which is particularly simple in construction and highly eflicient in use.
To this end the invention includes the combination and arrangement of component parts to be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.`
While the invention is susceptible of various embodiments, the accompanying drawings illustrate, and I shall hereinafter describe in connection therewith, what is now conceived to be a preferred embodiment of the same.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view, with parts broken away, of a section of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of a portion of the apparatus with parts thereof in one position. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a similar view of Fig. 2 with the parts in a diierentposition.
F ig.' 5 is a transverse Sectional view of a portion of the apparatus. Fig.V 6 is a perspective view of a pallet, and Fig. 7 is la side elevationof one of the outer supporting and guiding devices for the conveyer-cables.
The invention includes generally an endless convcyer running from a point adjacent the molding-machine orv brick-press to and through the drying-yard or to any point to which the molded bricksare'toy be conveyed, a carrying-pallet for supporting the bricks on the conveyer, and a loading-station at one end of the carrier having means located atl the erably comprises two parallel endless cables V2, spaced a suitable distance apart and having means associated therewith for supporting and driving the same.
The loading-station is preferably located at the end of the conveyer adjacent the brickpress or molding-machine, and at this point means are preferably arranged for driving the conveyer, as well as means for loading the bricks thereon, said driving means being preferably combined with the loading means. The embodiment of the driving and loading means disclosed in the present exemplification elevation in relation to the latter that the pallet supported thereon will be held above and out of engagement with the conveyer.
A centering or positioning member 12 is pivotally connected to the upper outer edge of the platform and is designed to occupy one position for alining thepallet and bricks in relation thereto and to be moved into a second position for placing the pallet,.with the bricks thereon, upon the platform in position to be transferred onto the conveyer, for which purpose automatic means, as projections 9, are provided.
The member 12 preferably includes a plate pivotal] y mounted a short distance above one longitudinal edge tothe platform at the outer longitudinal edge of the surface 11 by hinges 13, secured to the plate and platform, respectively, and a lateral extension or section 13', projecting from said plate contiguous to said longitudinal edge thereof. 'I` he section 13 is preferably formed by a strip bolted to the plate 11i, and space -blocks 15,'constituting a part of said extension, are interposed between IOO the strip and the plate 14C, so as to provide a plurality of openings 16, through which any sand and the like which may fall from the pallets may pass, so that proper alining of the latter and the bricks in reference thereto may not be interfered with. The plate 14 is normally held in a perpendicular position by means of a spring 16', interposed between the same and the platform.
At the outer end of the conveyer a suitable frame 17 is arranged, in which two guidingsheaves 18 are suitably mounted. Each of these sheaves is carried by a shaft 19, journaled at its opposite ends in boxes 2O shiftable in the frame, so that the tensions of the cables may be readily adjusted.
For supporting and guiding the cables intermediate of the ends of the conveyer suitable frames 21 are provided, having sheaves 22 journaled in the same, over which the cables run. Each frame 21 includes a pair of vertical standards provided with upper and lower connecting-bars, to which brackets 23, providing bearings for the sheaves 22, are bolted.
In the operation of my apparatus the bricks are transferred from the press in a suitable mold and placed on a pallet, which preferably consists of a light support of rectangular shape formed by a plurality of laths secured together, with their longitudinal edges abutting against one another, and the pallet, with thebricks arranged thereon, is carried by the eonveyer from the loading-station adjacent lthe brick-press to its destination, preferably to the drying-yard, where the pallet, with its contents` is lifted from the conveyer by a workman located along the path of the latter and then placed in position for the drying of the bricks. In loading a pallet upon the conveyer the former is first placed on the member 12 with its under face resting against the upper and outer face of plate 14 while the latter is in its initial position and with its lower edge resting against the extension 13' or the spaceblocks 15, constituting a part thereof. The mold containing the formed bricks is then placed in the mem ber 12 with one face against the positioned pallet and its under longitudinal side face against the extension 1?/I The member 12 is then thrown over to rest upon the surface 11 and the mold thereupon removed, leaving the bricks properly positioned on the pallet and the latter supported on the plate 14, which in turn rests upon the surface 11 and holds the pallet in a position directly above the conveyer out of contact therewith and with the ends of the pallet overhanging the same.
As before premised, my invention conteniplates means for automatically transferring the pallet, with its load, onto the conveyer, and for this purpose the sheaves 8 are provided with the peripheral offsets or lugs 9, before referred to, which are arranged in axial alinement and as the .sheaves rotate are brought into engagement with opposite ends of the pallet, lift the same from the platforn'i, and carry it in advance thereof and onto the conveyer, which then carries the pallet, with its load, to its destination. As soon as the plate 14 is relieved from the weight of the pallet it immediately returns under the influence of the spring 16 to its initial position.
rlhe construction and operation of my invention will be readily understood upon reference to the foregoingdescription and accompanying drawings, and it will be appreciated that the parts and combinations recited may be varied within a wide range without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isA
