Abstract:
A pallet-less brick is provided that allows for materials to be transported without the use of straps or pallets, which makes the transportation and subsequent use of the materials more efficient and more environmentally friendly. The pallet-less brick can have a generally planar body with a series of protrusions and recesses extending in different directions. A protrusion extending in one direction can be received in a recess of an adjacent brick, such that the bricks are stackable without the use of straps or pallets. Similarly, a second protrusion and recess combination fulfill a similar function, and the multiple protrusions and recesses secure stacked pallets in at least two directions.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus for forming a pallet-less brick out of an aggregate material, comprising:\n a staging platform configured to receive an aggregate formable material; a first forming die and a second forming die positioned proximate to said staging platform, wherein each of said first forming die and said second forming die have a predetermined geometric shape, and said predetermined geometric shapes of said forming dies are arranged in an opposing orientation; an actuator interconnected to at least one of said first forming die and said second forming die; and a control unit in operable communication with said actuator, wherein said control unit is configured to receive an input and then activate said actuator to drive said first forming die toward said second forming die, compress said aggregate formable material between said first forming die and said second forming die, and create a pallet-less brick.
