ABSTRACT:
A continuous transportation and placement frame for masonry modules, such as bricks or concrete blocks is suspended by cables from the ends of circumferentially spaced booms which radiate from a central hub. In one embodiment the hub is rigidly secured to the upper end portion of an upright rotatable standard, the lower end portion of which projects a short distance into the upper end of an upright mast. Adjacent screws tilt the standard in a self-aligning bearing fixed to the upper end of the mast. A winch on the mast extends and retracts the cables. The lower end of the mast is removably carried by a sleeve embedded in concrete in the floor of the building. Removable rods in the frame releasably support the modules.
In another embodiment, the winch is on the standard and the lower end of the standard is tiltably received in the sleeve.
