ABSTRACT:
A hopper for mortar is provided with a gate slidable between one position wherein mortar is free to flow downwardly and out of the device and another position wherein the gate blocks the hopper outlet. The flanking walls of the hopper are provided with adjustable supports for striker posts. In use to fill a vertical joint between ends of two adjacent masonry blocks, the supports are adjusted to slightly enter and fully cover the opposite sides of the joint. With the hopper in place over the joint, the gate is slid open and mortar is permitted to flow, until the space between the ends of the two blocks, and between the two striker posts is filled. Then the gate is slid closed. As the device is lifted straight upwards, the striker posts which preferably present convex surfaces toward the mortar, automatically tool the opposite sides of the joint. For use on the next joint of the same size, the device is slid downwards until it rests on the two blocks which adjoin such joint and the aforementioned filling and tooling is repeated.
