Improved Device for Loading Brick from Machine.
I, EDWARD NEW, of the City of Hamilton, in the County of Wentworth,
Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, Brick Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in a device for loading brick from machine,
consisting of a barrow or truck on a turntable, and constructed with hinged leaves
or folding boards, hinged to a frame on each side, and also to a turntable on said
barrow, and an endless belt or chain, adapted for hinged dumping boards or movable
pallets, arranged and devised for the purpose of receiving bricks, which are carried
from machine by means of molds; and the carrying of said bricks to their drying
place. The larger or lower turntable is provided with two raised tracks to receive
the roller wheels with which the barrow is supplied to enable it to move backward
and forward on the said turntable, and be brought into exact position and relation
to the brick machine.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the several figures as follows:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a turntable provided with raised tracks having a
wheel-barrow in position, with its hinged dumping boards, turntable, and endless
belt, carrying pallets.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Device for Loading Brick from Machine.
EDWARD NEW, of the City of Hamilton, County of Wentworth, Province of
Ontario, Canada, Brick Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved device for loading brick from machine,
consisting of a barrow or truck on a turntable and constructed with hinged leaves
or folding boards hinged to a frame on each side, and an endless belt or chain
adapted for hinged dumping boards, or movable pallets arranged for the purpose of
receiving bricks, which are carried from machine in moulds, and the carrying of
said bricks to their drying place.
The larger or lower turntable is provided with two raised tracks to receive the
roller wheels with which the barrow is supplied, to enable it to move backward and
forward on said turntable, and be brought into exact position and relation to the
brick machine.
The important feature and purpose of my invention, is to provide means to
accomplish the loading and carrying from the machine, unburnt bricks, in a speedy
and satisfactory manner, and to afford facilities for the proper adjustment of the
bricks on the barrow, with the edges and corners of the bricks uniform and intact.

page_text: which:
e being made to the drawings fert with the Irovisional Specification, in
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a turntable provided with raised tracks, having
wheel barrow in position with its hinged dumping boards, turntable, and endless
belt, carrying pallets.
Figure 2, is an end elevation of hinged dumping boards, and loose pallets, shown
.at left hand end of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an end elevation of small turntable having hinged dumping boards,
with loose pallets, shown at central part of Figure 1.
Figure 4, is an end elevation of framework having endless belt, hinged
dumping boards, and movable pallets, shown at right hand end of Figure 1, and
Figure 5, is a broken end elevation of the endless belt, having dumping-boards
attached to same.
In the drawing the lower turntable is indicated by A, to rotate on its centre
pin a, and rollers a', supported on a framework B. The floor of this turntable is
level with the ground, denoted by line X, and upon this table are the raised tracks C,
and C, lower and upper, and rounded off at the entrance, to allow the barrow to
enter upon the turntable freely. The construction of these tracks, prevent the
barrow from running sidewise from position, the end of the track is supplied with
a stop C. The barrow D, besides its own central ground wheel d, has small
rollers e in close proximity to the common spring bearing e³ of large wheel d. The
barrow leg rollers e, run on the lower and outer track C, and are a preventative
against the barrow tipping, when in the act of loading.
The longitudinal frame of barrow is provided with handles at each end for
wheeling purposes, and also with cross bars for strengthening and bracing purposes.
H, are the leaves or dumping boards, hinged at h, to their respective parts, and are
provided with pallets I.
At Figure 2, they are hinged to a raised framework, this being at the left hand
of barrow as aforesaid. At the central part, the said boards are hinged to the
turntable J, on its centre pin K, in the central piece L.
The dumping boards as seen in Figures 2 and 3, in two positions, when on the
angle, they are ready to receive brick from mould, and when flat down, they are in
carrying position.
The angles M, are rests for the moulds, when placing the bricks against the
pallets, which are at the same time turned to their flat position.
The endless belt, or chain N, which runs on a series of wheels, or rollers O, on
their shafts S, which rest in their bearings T, are operated by the crank handle S¹,
which is on the first shaft, next to dumping board.
These series of shafts S, run through an inner support U, to which, at the left
hand end is hinged the dumping boards with pallets, similar to the ones described
which when turned flat, rests on the said inner support, leaving the pallet on the
belt, which when the said handle is turned the pallets are carried forward, and the
dumping board placed to its angle position ready to receive other bricks, as seen in
Fig. 4, and so on until the barrow is full.
Figure 5, is similar in construction to Figure 4, excepting that the dumping
boards are attached at V, to the endless belt, and travel with it on and under, and
when coming from beneath, the dumping board lifts the hinged mould rest M',
which immediately drops to position when freed from dumping board. These
dumping boards facilitate the emptying of the bricks from the moulds, and the
conveying of the bricks on barrows, or trucks in a perfect and intact form, to their
drying place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
Here, 1st. The combination of the barrow, having legs with roller wheels e
attached thereto, the roller wheels e¹ placed near the centre of the barrow on each

page_text: side thereof, and the hinged leaves or folding boards H, having pallets I, sub-
stantially as described.
2nd. In a loading barrow and turntable for brick machine, the barrow D provided
with roller wheels e and e', the dumping boards as described, in combination with a
turntable having raised tracks C and C₁, and stop Cs, substantially as described.
3rd. The combination of a turntable A, having raised tracks C and C¹, the
barrow D having turntable J, with dumping boards hinged thereto as described, in
combination with bearings T, supporting shafts S with crank handle S' and a series
of wheels O, the inner support U, having hinged dumping-boards, the angled mould
rests M and M', the endless belt N, and the attached dumping boards H, substantially
as described and set forth.
Dated this 24th day of January 1893.
