ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for hacking brick specifically involving the stacking of uncured or green brick into a two course high brick stack prior to the bricks being transferred and stacked onto a kiln car for curing and drying. As a part of the method and apparatus of the present invention, slugs of brick material are received and successively pushed by a first pusher through a wire type brick cutter onto a receiving table, each slug resulting in a series of aligned bricks disposed in side-by-side relationship and referred to as a brick row. A vertically movable elevator assembly is mounted adjacent the supply table and includes at least two vertically spaced receiving levels formed therein with each receiving level being adapted to receive and support a row of bricks. As the elevator assembly is actuated up and down, individual brick rows are pushed into each of the respective receiving levels of the elevator assembly. A second pusher is cooperable with said first pusher to effectively simultaneously discharge both rows of bricks from said elevator assembly onto an adjacent receiving table with the uppermost row of brick falling onto and being supported by the lowermost row of brick to form a two course high brick stack. Successive discharges from the elevator assembly result in a multi-row or column two course high brick stack being formed on the receiving table such that after a predetermined size stack of brick have been formed on the receiving table such may be transferred by a conventional setter from the receiving table onto a kiln car.
