PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Sanding Bricks and the like.
I, JAN VAN LANGE of 171 Nieuwehaven Rotterdam in the Kingdom of Holland,
Brick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct an apparatus which will thoroughly
coat with sand the clay for making bricks and the like at the top bottom and sides
thereof as it issues from the pug mill and press the said sand into the clay-to
prevent it dropping off when the bricks are handled before burning.
Now according to my invention I provide one or more cones or cylinders with
cones at one end thereof on either side of the stream of clay as it issues from the
pug mill, these cones or cylinders are fitted with stepped spirals round their
peripheries or other suitable means of distributing the sand. At the bottom of the
apparatus is a trough to catch the surplus sand from the cones which does not
adhere to the clay, and in this trough I place a revolving drum fitted with vanes to
throw the sand up to the bottom of the stream of clay. I provide the apparatus
with a hopper to contain the sand from whence it runs on to the cones or coned
ends of the cylinders and is thrown by the centrifugal action of the spirals over the
sides and top of the clay. The cones or cylinders and the drum are mounted in
suitable bearings on a frame and caused to rotate at a high speed by means of
pullies and belts or other suitable gearing. I provide also suitable horizontal and
vertical-rollers to press the sand into the clay. The distributing cones or cylinders
and drum are cased in to prevent loss of sand.
