I, WILLIAM ORMROD of Shipton Brick Works, Halliwell near Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, Brick Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in moulds employed in brick-making
machines and consists in providing means whereby the same is made self-lubricating
throughout the entire surface of the same. The frame of the mould is provided
internally with channels or corrugations which are covered with perforated metal,
the latter being covered with fustian or other suitable fibrous material. The channels
or corrugations are supplied with liquid by a tap from any convenient source.

page_text: I, WILLIAM ORMROD of Shipton Brick Works, Halliwell near Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, Brick Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in moulds employed in brick-making
machines and consists in providing means whereby the same is made self-lubricating
throughout the entire surface of the same. The frame of the mould is provided
internally with channels or corrugations which are covered with perforated metal,
the latter being covered with fustian or other suitable fibrous material. The
channels or corrugations are supplied with liquid by a tap from any convenient
source.
Fig. 1 is a front view of my improved self-lubricating mould or die for brick-
making machines-Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation through line A. B-Fig. 3
is a sectional plan through line C. D, and Fig. 4 is a plan of Fig. 1.
The frame of the mould or die is provided internally with the channels G
which are connected by the cross channels H as shown in Fig. 3. The channels
are covered with the perforated zinc or other suitable metallic plates I, secured to
the frame E by nails as shown or their equivalents. The perforated plates I are
covered with fustian or other suitable fibrous material K secured to the frame E
by nails as shown or their equivalents. The channels G are supplied with liquid
through the opening L by a pipe; the latter being provided with a tap to regulate
the supply of liquid according to the requirements of the clay or other substance
forming the column passing through the die or mould to the cutting table.
In case the column of clay or other substance passing through the die or mould
from the brick-machine has sufficient moisture the surplus liquid flows away by the
channels M on the bottom side of the leading side of the die or mould as shown
in Figs. 1, 2, and 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
In a mould or die employed in brick-making machines the use of the channels
G, H, and M., and the perforated metallic plates I for the purpose specified.
