ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for stacking or stacking as well as facing, bricks. In stacking, the bricks are conveyed to adjacent horizontal fold plates and then one of the plates is moved under the other plate to place the bricks one above the other. The underlying plate with the bricks thereon is moved horizontally away from the upper plate while the bricks on the upper plate are also moved in the same direction so that they are stacked on the bricks on the lower plate. The lower plate is then elevated with the stack of bricks thereon after which the bricks are conveyed off the plate by newly arriving incoming bricks. When it is desired to stack the bricks with their faces contacting each other, after the bricks arrive on the plates (hereinafter termed the first and second plates), the plates are separated in a horizontal plane to expose a third underlying fold plate. The first and second plates are then folded or pivoted upwardly 90.degree. to bottom the bricks on the third plate and to place the faces of the bricks in opposing interrelationship. Then, the second and third plates are pivoted together as a unit 90.degree. to restore the bricks in horizontal planes stacked one above the other with their faces contacting each other. During the latter step the first plate is unfolded back to its horizontal position. Then the third plate is unfolded relative to the second plate back to its original horizontal plane below the first two plates and then the gap between the first and second plates is closed to permit the stacked and faced bricks to be moved off the plates by bricks newly arriving on the first plate.
