ABSTRACT:
A technique for cutting and selectively edge, face or flat setting brick or similar articles. The machine includes a cutter bank for receiving the slugs from a pusher and a device for selectively moving the cutter bank between an operable position and an inoperable position with respect to the pusher. An elevator is located downstream of the cutter bank for receiving bricks from the cutter bank. A controller is connected to the pusher and the elevator whereby the pusher and the elevator are operated in a cooperative relationship. The machine includes a conveyor assembly having a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart belts for moving the bricks, a stop for stopping the movement of bricks therepast, a lift disposed between the conveyor belts for lifting and redepositing a portion of the bricks, and a controller connected to the conveyor assembly, stop, and lift whereby the conveyor assembly, stop, and lift are sequentially operated in a cooperative relationship to set the rows of brick in pre-determined patterns. A turnover rotor, disposed between the conveyor belts and adjacent to the stop, is operable to lift, rotate 90 degrees and redeposit a portion of the bricks downstream of the stop and may be selectively moved between an operable position and an inoperable position with respect to the conveyor belt.
