PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Boxes or Moulds of Machinery for Pressing
Bricks.
We, NEWTON BROOKE, Brick and Tile Manufacturer, and ALBERT TAYLOR Brick
Maker, both of Shibden Hall Fire Clay Works, Hipperholme near Halifax in the
county of York, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows :-
The object of our invention is to construct moulds or boxes for pressing bricks so
as to be less costly in making and also in renewing or repairing of the same.
We construct our moulds or boxes of preferably four separate pieces or segments
divided up opposite the sides forming the brick and again opposite the ends forming
the brick and secured together by bolts through both ends and sides and additional
bolts through the ends vertically for securing the end castings to the bed of the
machine, the end castings are tenoned into the side castings or vice versa, the whole
being made preferably of cast steel, by this construction of moulds when they require
repairing the pieces are unloosed and can be readily planed filed or trimmed up on
all sides at a very small cost, or when larger sized or broader bricks are required
wider ends can be put in.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a plan of our improved brick mould box.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation in section of Fig. 1, through the line A. B.
Fig. 3 is a cross section through C, D; of Fig. 1.
We construct our moulds or boxes of cast iron or steel, preferably in four separate
pieces E, F, and G H, divided up opposite the sides forming the brick, and secured
together by bolts J, through both ends G and H, and sides E and F, and additional
bolts K, through the ends for securing the mould or box to the bed of the machine.
At each end of the side castings E. F, is a projection or tenon L, fitting into
recesses L' in the end castings GH; at one end of these projections is a recess M,
to allow of packing being inserted, should the end castings get worn.
By this construction of moulds when they require repairing, the pieces E. F,
and G. H, are unloosed, and can be readily planed, filed, or trimmed, upon all sides
at a very small cost.
Or when larger sized or broader bricks are required, wider ends may be put in, or
the end pieces G H, adjusted as required, by means of the slots N.

page_text: By this arrangement we dispense with fixing steel plates to the face of the mould,
as in the ordinary way, and they will last for years without any of the castings being
renewed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The construction of brick moulds or boxes for pressing bricks, with detachable
and adjustable sides and ends, as and for the purposes substantially as shown and
described.
