ABSTRACT:
A novel and improved brick setting machine as disclosed, which is operable to automatically produce stacks of green brick suitable for firing and which have a high degree of stability to permit their being transported from one location to another by fork lift trucks or the like. The stack includes a plurality of grids of brick, some of which consist of lengthwise aligned rows of brick spaced from each other by longitudinal lanes and crosswise rows of aligned brick, extending perpendicular to the lengthwise rows wherein at least some of the brick in the crosswise rows are spaced from each other to form lateral lanes. The patterns within the grids are arranged so that the lateral and lengthwise lanes are superimposed so that the patterns of lengthwise brick and crosswise brick can be consolidated into the desired grids by automatic means including grippers which extend along the longitudinal and lateral lanes. The pattern of grids is arranged to provide a high degree of tieing between the various rows of brick, making up the stack so that the entire stack is highly stable. The bottom grid is soldier set to permit gripping and transfer of the entire grid by fork truck or the like. The machine for forming the stack includes a first subassembly for establishing the patterns of lengthwise rows of brick and a second sub-assembly for establishing the corresponding patterns of crosswise rows of brick.
