This invention relates more particularly to that class of brick cutting tables known

length or portion of clay is cut off (whilst moving) by a dividing wire or knife
working in fixed or stationary bearings and in consequence the cut is not straight or
at right angles to the stream of clay; the portions being moreover of irregular sizes
considerable waste ensues and loss of time is caused in having to remove incomplete
pieces at each end after the cutting operation has been performed. Now according to
my invention I make a side delivery cutting table so as to be movable preferably upon
wheels running upon rails.
At that end of the table furthest from the die from which
the clay issues I place a vertical stop and the stream of clay when it comes against it
pushes the table outwardly. I mount the wire or other device for cutting off the
length or portion of clay upon the movable table so that when the clay has reached the
stop and caused the table to move the portion of clay may be cut off squarely across
and to the extra length required, the cutting device travelling outwardly at the same
speed as the issuing clay. The table being then pulled forward by hand the clay is
forced sidewise through the vertical cutting wires and the divided bricks are delivered
at the side of the table without waste ready to be carried away. The table is then
pushed back by hand to receive the issuing clay which again comes against the stop
and the operation as above described is repeated.
It will be obvious that, when the cutting table moves outwardly, a gap or space
will be formed between the ordinary fixed supporting rollers under the mouth of the
die and the receding table thus leaving the stream of clay spanning the interval
unsupported-this defect also obtaining where movable end delivery tables are

the upper ends of the side arms of a vertically arranged pivotted frame capable of
radial movement is provided. When the table moves inwardly towards the die the
frame and roller are pushed downwardly by the table out of the way and when the
table moves outwardly the frame and roller are pulled upwards to the required height
by means of a weight and cord passed over a pulley preferably mounted on the
movable table. The weight will thus answer the threefold purpose of (1) operating
the intermediate supporting roller as above described; (2) helping to pull the table
back after being moved outwardly; and (3) overcoming the tendency of the table to
recede with the thrust of the issuing clay.

I, RICHARD CARDWELL ROBINSON, of the Albert Works, Preston, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer and Ironfounder, 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:-
"
"
This invention relates more particularly to that class of brick cutting tables known
as "side_delivery" tables being in part applicable to those known as end delivery'
tables. In side delivery tables as ordinarily arranged a length or portion cut off from
the column or stream of clay as it issues from the die is pushed forward by hand on to
the cutting table where it is forced sidewise through vertical cutting wires. The
length or portion of clay is cut off (whilst moving) by a dividing wire or knife
working in fixed or stationary bearings, and in consequence the cut is not straight or
at right angles to stream of clay; the portions being moreover of irregular sizes
considerable waste ensues and loss of time is caused in having to remove incomplete
pieces at each end after the cutting operation has been performed. Now according to
my invention I make a si dedelivery cutting table so as to be movable preferably upon
wheels running upon rails. At that end of the table furthest from the die from which
the clay issues I place a vertical stop and the stream of clay when it comes against it
pushes the table outwardly. I mount the wire or other device for cutting off the
length or portion of clay upon the movable table so that when the clay has reached
the stop and caused the table to move the portion of clay may be cut off squarely
across and to the exact length required, the cutting device travelling outwardly at the
same speed as the issuing clay. The table being then pulled forward by hand the clay
is forced sidewise through the vertical cutting wires and the divided bricks are delivered
at the side of the table without waste ready to be carried away. The table is then
pushed back by hand to receive the issuing clay which again comes against the stop
and the operation as above described is repeated.
It will be obvious that, when the table moves outwardly, a gap or space will be
formed between the ordinary fixed supporting rollers under the mouth of the die and
the receding table, thus leaving the stream of clay spanning the interval unsupported
-this defect also obtaining where movable end delivery tables are employed.
According to this invention an intermediate supporting roller mounted on the upper
ends of the side arms of a vertically arranged pivotted frame capable of radial move-
ment provided. When the table moves inwardly towards the die the frame and
roller are pushed downwardly by the table out of the way and when the table moves
outwardly the frame and roller are pulled upwardly to the required height by means
of a weight and cord passed over a pulley preferably mounted on the movable table.
The weight will thus answer the threefold purpose of (1) operating the intermediate
supporting roller as above described; (2) helping to pull the table back after having
been moved outwardly; and (3) counteracting the tendency of the table to recede with
the thrust of the issuing clay before the latter reaches the stop.

page_text: In the accompanying Drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2 an end elevation;
and Fig. 3 a plan of a side delivery brick cutting table constructed according to my
said invention.
The dotted lines A A represent the stream of clay; BB the frame work of the table
mounted on wheels CC running upon the rails D D. E is a bent arm carrying
the dividing wire X working horizontally in bearings FF; GG are the vertical
cutting wires through which the cut-off portion of clay A (see Fig. 3) is forced by the
push board H carried on the bent arm I which is operated by the toothed quadrant J
mounted on a hollow shaft K and rotated by the handle L. Within the hollow shaft K
is an inner second shaft M carrying the toothed quadrant N which operates the dividing
wire arm E. The rails DD are formed with a stop O which determines the inward
and outward traverse of the wheels CC. P is the vertical stop against which the
issuing clay comes in contact whereupon the dividing wire X is passed through the
stream of clay (see dotted lines Fig. 2) and the table pushed outwardly by hand to the
position shewn in the drawings when the cut-off portion of clay is forced sidewise
through the vertical cutting wires G G on to the carrying-off board Q. The table is
then pushed back by hand (being assisted therein by the weight T) and on its way
meets the pivotted frame R carrying the intermediate supporting roller S and presses
it downwardly out of the way as shewn in dotted lines in Fig. 1. Upon the return
outward movement of the table the frame R and roller S are by means of the cord and
weight T pulled back against a stop W to the vertical position shewn in the drawings
and thus provide an intermediate support midway of the gap created between the
ordinary stationary supporting rollers U U at the mouth of the die and the rollers V V
on the receding table. The above described arrangement of an intermediate supporting
roller in a pivotted frame is equally applicable to movable "end delivery" brick
cutting tables.
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 :-
1. The use or employment in a "side delivery" brick cutting table of a dividing
wire X mounted upon the table so as to move or travel therewith in manner substantially
as described and shewn in the drawings for the purpose specified.
2. Causing a "side delivery" movable brick cutting table to be pushed outwardly
by the thrust of the clay issuing from a die against a stop P arranged substantially as
described and shewn in the drawings.
3. In combination with a movable brick cutting table the use or employment of an
intermediate supporting roller carried on the arms of a pivotted frame in conjunction
with a weight arranged and operating substantially as described and shewn in the
drawings for the purpose specified.
4. The combination of parts constituting the improved brick cutting table apparatus
constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as described and shewn in the
drawings.
