Abstract: 3294. Raymond, E. P. Feb. 14. Moulding bricks and tiles.-A column or slab of clay is fed continuously by an extrusion machine over an endless travelling band J on to a slotted trough or cutting-table D, and is severed into bricks or tiles by wires b carried by a frame F mounted on a rocking shaft E. The cutting-frame and table are supported by a carriage C, which is mounted on rolls a and is released so as to travel at the same rate as the clay during the cutting operation. A side shaft 0 is rotated continuously by an endless chain and bevel gearing, and operates the rocking shaft and cutting-frame by means of a clutch i, pinions P, crank disc S, and connecting-rod attached to a crank on the rocking shaft. A hooked lever holds the carriage until the clay reaches the end of the cutting-table, and is then released by a cam on a shaft q driven by mitre-wheels s, r. The clutch is at the same time thrown into action bv means of toothed wheels M, t, a cam pin, and a loose multilated pinion v which gears with a pinion on the shaft q, and carries a cam which operates the weighted forked clutch lever by means of a rocking arm and rod e<1>. The endless band J runs over antifriction rollers d, and may be set in motion by the clay, or by an endless belt tightened by an idle pulley carried by a lever. After the cutting operation the clutch is thrown out of action, and the carriage is returned to its original position hy a slotted connecting-rod operated by a crank on the shaft q. The cutting-wires are looped over pins projecting from a bar H, and over hooks p' carried by bars C<1> pivoted at l<2> to clamps B<1> fixed to the upper bar G of the frame F. The screwed shanks of the hooks pass through flanges of the bars C' and through springs or rubber spools n<2>. Each wire can be readily removed or replaced. and the tension can be adjusted by wing-nuts r<2>. In a modification, the clay from the pug-mill or extrusion machine passes over a drum or measuring-wheel on to the cutting-table, which is held stationary by a cam until the clay reaches the end of the table. The drum then removes a catch from a weighted disc on the cam shaft by means of an arrangement of friction-wheels, cranks, a slotted connecting-rod, and a rocking shaft. The cutting-frame is operated by a crank and toothed gearing thrown into action by a cam and mutilated pinion.
