PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Dies for Brickmaking Machines.
We, HENRY JAMES SHAW, and ARTHUR SHAW, both of Castle, Northwich, in
the County of Cheshire, Builders and Brick Manufacturers, do hereby declare the
nature of our invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in dies for bricks, which consists of a
metallic cylinder bolted to a mouthpiece and a base plate with a lead or hopper,
and the die placed inside the said cylinder and mouthpiece.
The die is composed of a series of oblong (or any other suitable shape) frames
with curved flanges, each of these said frames are built up on each other, the top
frame being made in the shape of a hopper or lead; the whole being inserted inside
the mouthpiece or frame. The base of the die rests on a perforated base plate
with a flange plate at the top. A lubricating pipe is connected to the mouthpiece
and die with the water way opening into the aforesaid die.
Each of the various frames with curved flanges forming the die inside the
mouthpiece may be bolted or otherwise fixed together.
The mouthpiece is tapered to suit the shape and size of the die.
It will be understood that we do not particularly bind ourselves to make the
invention any particular shape, as the shapes materials and parts may be varied in
many ways within the scope of our invention.

Improvements in Dies for Brickmaking Machines.
We, HENRY JAMES SHAW, and ARTHUR SHAW, both of Castle, Northwich, in
the County of Cheshire, Builders and Brick Manufacturers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in dies for bricks, which consists of a
metallic cylinder bolted to a inouthpiece and a base plate with a lead or hopper,
and the die placed inside the said cylinder and mouthpiece.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a plan of the die and cylinder.
Fig. 2, is a section on line A B shewing the die bolted together. Part of this
figure is in elevation.
Fig. 3, is a section on line C D and a part in elevation, also shewing water way
into die.
The die c is composed of a series of oblong (or any other suitable shape) frames
with curved flanges g, each of these said frames are built up on each other, the top

page_text: frame d being made in the shape of a hopper or lead; the whole is inserted inside
the mouthpiece b or frame. The base of the die erests on a perforated base plate f
with a flange plate h at the top. The die e is placed inside the mouthpiece b which
is provided with a flange i at the top in order to receive the flange ; of the
cylinder a. The cylinder a is bolted to the mouthpiece 6 and the flange k at the
base of the mouthpiece b to the base plate f as in Figs. 2, and 3. A lubricating
pipe e with stop cock is connected to the mouthpiece band die c with the water way
opening into the aforesaid die.
Each of the various frames with curved flanges 9 forming the die c inside the
mouthpiece may be bolted or otherwise fixed together.
The mouthpiece is tapered to suit the shape and size of the die.
It will be understood that we do not particularly bind ourselves to make the
invention any particular shape, as the shapes materials and parts may be varied in
many ways within the scope of our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is performed, we declare that what we
claim is
1. In dies for brickmaking machines, the combination of the cylinder a flange j
mouth piece b flanges i and k die chopper d curved flanges g flange h base plate f with
lubricating pipe e and the various flanges fitted and fixed together by bolts,.
substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In dies for brick making machines, the combination of the various frames with
curved flanges g and hopper or lead d fitted together by bolts, substantially as
herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In dies for brickmaking machines, the combination of the various parts
described in this Specification to form the apparatus, substantially as described and
for the purpose specified.
Dated this 25th day of November 1895.
