The brick machine of the. present invention is constructed with a suitable frame which preferably includes pairs of supporting legs 11 and 22. The legs of each pair are connected by a cross piece 3. Extending from the cross piece 3 on one side of the machine to the cross piece 3 on the other side of the machine is a connecting member 4: to which is secured by means of a bolt '5 the lower end 6 of a pair of diagonally extending brace rods 7 and 8 which are secured at their upper ends in any suitable manner to the upper ends of the legs 1 and 2. Bolted or otherwise suitably secured at 9 to the upper ends of the legs land 2 is a pair of angle iron sills 10; The angle irons 10, as shown best in F ig. 1, extend some distance re'arwardly of the machine so as to produce an overhanging portion. At their rear ends, the angle irons 10 serve to support a transversely extending angle iron cross bar 11 which isheld in position upon the angle irons 10 by adjusting members such as the bolts 12 each provided with a lower spacin nut 13 and an upper spacing nut 1a, a third nut 15 being disposed below the upper flange of the angle irons 10 to hold the transverse angle iron 11 properly in position upon the angleirons 10.
Supported upon'the forward ends of the angle irons lO-and extending transversely of the machine is a table 16. The table 16 is intended to support a transversely extending pallet or board 17 having a metal plate 18 secured on the upper surface thereof.
Extending along the front edge of the pallet .the forward end of one of the mold com partments as shown in Fig.3. The end gates 20 are secured on the swinging member 19 by means such asthe plates 21 and the bolts 22 and 23, the bolts 22 extending through the plates 21 and gates 20 and the bolts 23 extending through the plates 21 and swinging member 19. The different gate 100 members 20 are separated fromeach other by distances sufficient to permit the sliding side walls 24 of the mold compartments, as
shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to slidetherebetween.
lVhen the side walls 24: of the mold com 105 partments are slid forward from the dotted line position so that they project at their for-ward ends between the gates 20, the, mold compartments are closed and are adapted to receive the cement which is to be molded, 110

The cross piece 27 thus serves to hold both the table 16 and the fixed f end walls 26- securely in position. The different fixed walls 26 are spaced away from each" other sufficiently to permit the side lwalls'24 of'the mold compartments to slide therebetween. The fixed end gates 26 of the different mold compartmentsare braced at their upper ends by a transversely extend hingjcross piece 29 which is provided with a plurality of downwardly extending bolts 30 eachi connecting with the upper end of one f "of the end'gates 26 so as to brace the same.
is secured bymea-ns .of the bolts 31 to the i The stationary cross piece 29 engages the i upper edges of the sliding walls 24 and] 30 serves to guide the same. The cross piece 29 I cross piece 27.
The different sliding walls at are rigidly connected with each other adjacent their rear ends byfmeans of a transversely thread arranged on'opposit'e' sides of the sliding {rod 35 the distance between the walls 24 can the crossrods'35, the walls24 are connected with eachfother by a fiat cross piece 37 .which extends. across the upper edges of: the
.4Land ;consists[ of one or more bolts 40 se-. cured attheir lower ends to cross pieces 41- j-which fit against the lower edges of twoor 1 more of the slidingwalls 24. By tightening.
j the bolts'40 the, cross piece37 is drawn i -24and the cross pieces 41 are drawn tightly I tightly againstxthe 'upperedges of the walls against the lower edges thereof.
For the p-urpose of guiding the sliding walls v24 in their backward and forward movement,,-eaeh of the two outer walls 24 as as shown in Fig. 1, are closed by fixedwalls f 26 wh ch rest at their lower ends upon the movement of the walls 24.
I 1.5; Each of the; angle irons 39 projects downwardly between a pair of the sliding shown in Fig. 4 hasbolted thereto a longitudinally extending strip or rib 42 held in place by the bolt or rivet 43. The-strips 42 are engaged by horizontally disposed plates or guides 44 shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The
The strips 42 slide beneath the platesv 44 during the forward andbackward sliding The means for sliding the walls 24 into c and out of position preferably ronsi'sts of an operating handle 47 securedon' a-rock shaft 48 which is journaled in the frame work of the machine. The rock shaft 48 is provided with a pair of upwardly extending arms 49 each of which extends between a pair of studs 50 mounted' in one of the sliding walls 24. is thrown forward, the arms 49' simultaneously slide allof' the walls 24 forward; and
when the lever '47 is thrown frearwardly the When the handle lever 47 v walls 24 are simultaneously thrown rear wardly to the dotted lineposition' indicated in Figs. 1 and 3 o-fthe drawings. I
It will be observed from Fig. 1 that the rear stud 50 is disposed in alower horizontal plane. than the forward stud 50, whereby to permitthe rocking frame 41 to be swung to its rearmostposition without binding.
The machine preferably is used as follows. Whilethe Walls 24 are drawn rear; wardly 1nto open position as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 3 and the wall 19 is opened aswide as idesiredythe pallet 17 is inserted in'position with its rear edge abutting againstthe fixed walls 26 which form the rear ends of the mold compartments.
The swinging member 19 carrying the front walls orgates 20 of the inold compartments, is then swung 111 closed position, being locked in such position by means of any suitable form of catch such for "example as the springcatch 52 indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, .said catch being secured to the bottomof the tablej16 and having an upward pro ection adapted to pass through the,
table and into a socketin the'lower'end of the swinging member '19, said catch being operated by means of a knob or'handle 53. After the front gates 20 are closed, the handle 47 is operated to draw the side members;
24 forward, these members sliding between i .walls 24 into the dotted .linepositionl The swinging member 19 is then unlocked and swung into open position, after which the pallet 17 on which the diflerent molded articles are standing, can be removed from the machine and a new pallet substituted so as to permit the molding operation to be re peated in the manner described.
What is claimed is:
In a brick making machine, a frame; sills mounted on the frame; a table mounted on the sills; a pallet supported on the table; a gate bar pivoted to the table and resting on the same for horizontal swinging movement to aline the upper edge of the gate bar with the upper face of thepallet; a set of spaced end walls secured to the gate bar; a set of fixed, spaced end walls cooperating with the pallet; connected inner and outer side walls mounted to slide across the pallet and across the gate bar between the walls of the respective sets; ribs secured to the outer side walls; guides overhanging the ribs; a cross bar disposed above the sills and constituting a support for the slidable side walls; and adjusting members connected with the sills and with the cross bar to elfect a raising and lowering of the cross bar thereby to level the slidable side walls with respect to the pallet and the gate bar, the guides being retained by the adjusting members.
