1 ALBERT TAYLOR of Hipperholme near Halifax in the county of York, Brick
Maker do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct boxes or moulds so as to be simple of
construction and inexponsive as compared with those now in use, easily and readily
renewed when worn out. I construct the outer shell of the box with the inside
recessed in a circular form, to carry the inner box which is also circular to fit into the
recess in the shell, the shell is split or open at one side about half inch, and is provided
with flanges for bolts or fasteners, this open space is filled in with soft wood or other
packing, and when the mould is put into the shell, the bolts or fastenors are tightened,
the shell closes and firmly grips the bush of the mould and holds it in position, to
release the mould the bolts are simply slackened, no linings are required for the brick
mould proper, it being cut or planed to the exact size, there is a large saving both in
first cost and in renewing the inoulds when worn out.

page_text: I ALBERT TAYLOR of Hipperholme near Halifax in the county of York, Brick
Maker, 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 :-
The object of my invention is to construct boxes or moulds so as to be simple of
construction and inexpensive as compared with those now in use easily and readily
renewed when worn out.
Fig. 1 is a plan of my improved box or mould for pressing bricks and the like.
Fig. 2 is an elevation in section of Fig. 1 through the line Y. Z.
Fig. 3 is an elovation of Fig. 1.
I construct the outer shell A of my box with the inside part of circular form, the
inner box or mould B, is also east eircular to fit into the recess in the shell A; the
shell A is split or open about a half inch at one side, and is provided with flanges C,
for a bolt or bolts, or other fasteners 1), the open space is filled in with soft wood or
other packing E.
When the inner mould B is placed within the outer shell A, it rests upon an inner
flange F, on the inner face of the outer shell, which flange holds the mould B in
position, and prevents it from slipping through the outer shell A.
After the mould B is placed within the outer shell A, the holt or fastener D) is
tightened up, and the outer shell closes, and firmly grips the bush or periphery of the
mouk B, and secures it in position.
To release the mould, the bolt or bolts are simply slackened, no linings are required
for the brick mould, it being simply cut or planed to the exact size; by this
construction, there is a great saving both in first cost, and in renewing the moulds
when worn besides being a preventative against the moulds bursting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invon-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I'
claim is :-
1. The construction of the moulds or boxes B (for pressing bricks and the like)
such moulds being adjustable within a circular outer shell A, as and for the purposes
shown and describod.
