    摘要: Bricks are continuously received in double-layer courses, which courses are shifted one at a time onto a receiving plate whereupon a gripper apparatus is activated to grip the opposite sides of the course and retain the course as the receiving plate is removed from beneath the course. A platform is elevated to engage or cause the bricks already deposited thereon to engage the lower surface of the course being held by the gripper apparatus whereupon the gripper apparatus is deactivated. The elevator lowers and the receiving plate is returned to its initial position. During selected course transfers a tyne tray apparatus cooperates with the gripper apparatus to form tyne openings in selected layers. The gripping apparatus itself includes a first set of longer outer gripper plates which are adapted to grip entire courses at times and a plurality of shorter, inner grippers which cooperate with the outer gripper plates or with other inner grippers to grip partial courses after the tyne bricks have been removed.

    摘要: Trays of brick, stacked two courses to a tray, one atop the other, are marshalled along a main index conveyor to a first transfer point, where a first transfer carriage removes the upper course from each tray, and transfers it to an auxiliary index conveyor synchronized with and driven in the same direction as the main conveyor. The bricks then proceed down parallel paths on the main and auxiliary conveyors in single layers facilitating grading and inspection, yet maintaining the economy realized from a multi-layered path. After inspection and grading a separator sheet is placed atop the lower course on the main conveyor, and, upon reaching a second transfer point, the upper course is returned to its original position atop one of the lower courses by means of a second transfer carriage. During the transfer, other operations may be performed, such as everting of the upper course and the forming of tyne courses in selected lower courses.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to an article or package loading and unloading machine, and more specifically to a machine for transferring articles from a relatively stationary platform or fixed path conveyor to an adjacent, movable skid or car and simultaneously transferring articles from a second car located adjacent said stationary platform or conveyor into said platform. Basically the machine comprises two vertically reciprocal pickup heads arranged in cooperating relationship on a single, horizontally reciprocal frame or carriage, one of the pickup heads transferring articles from the stationary platform to an adjacent, empty skid or other portable platform, and the second pickup head simultaneously transferring articles from a second loading skid onto the stationary platform during the return trip of the carriage.

    摘要: Bricks arranged in a plurality of stacks on kiln cars in doublelayer courses having a prescribed number of bricks in each row and column are first transferred to an intermediate table by means of a first, side gripper pickup head. The side gripper pickup head includes several pair of gripper members which grip the bricks at the ends of the rows thereof and compact the rows in preparation for the first head to lift and transfer the bricks to the intermediate table. A second, end gripper pickup head includes several pairs of gripper segments, movable with respect to each other, to grip the bricks at the ends of the columns, lift and adjust the row-wise spacing therein to arrange the bricks into courses having a different number of bricks in the rows thereof than the courses on the kiln cars. The second pickup head then transfers the bricks held therein to an off-bearing conveyor leading to a stacking and strapping station.

    摘要: Brick stacked in courses comprised of double-layer rows within which the face sides of the individual pairs of superposed bricks may be confronting are dehacked by sequentially removing complete successive courses from each stack, and pairing courses from the upper and lower portions of the stacks such that the respective double-layer rows thereof are in alignment. Successive doublelayer rows are then removed simultaneously from each pair of courses, and the upper layer of each such unit is everted and aligned with the lower layer to form a single-layer line of bricks all having their face sides facing upwardly and alternating in row groupings between bricks from the upper portions of the stacks and bricks from the lower stack portions. The blending of the bricks eliminates marked color gradients sometimes present in the original stacks.

    摘要: A pair of support arms are rotatably mounted perpendicular to each other on a vertical shaft to rotate back and forth in a horizontal arcuate path above a dual kiln car path. One of the arms rotates between a first position over one path and a second position above an intermediately disposed take-off platform while the other arm rotates between a position over the other path and a second position above the same take-off platform. Each arm includes a plurality of vertically movable gripper heads suspended therefrom and selectively adapted to rotate at least 90* about its own vertical axis. The arms are so connected to the vertical shaft and with respect to each other that while the gripper heads of one arm are lifting or setting courses of brick on a kiln car in one path, the gripper heads of the other arm are setting or lifting courses on the intermediate platform. Also the gripper heads are so mounted on the support arms that they may be selectively moved with respect to the other gripper heads to provide clearance space therebetween to permit the rotation of the head necessary to set down or pick up all courses with the brick therein extending in the same direction in preparation for subsequent stacking or setting.

    摘要: Bricks are grouped and set onto kiln cars in courses having rows with a prescribed number of bricks therein, said prescribed number being determined by the number of bricks per row in the final package to be formed. The bricks are then processed through a kiln, unloaded a course at a time from the kiln car, and stacked for packaging while maintaining during the entire operation the same prescribed number of bricks in each row, so that the row size of the courses set on the kiln car remains constant throughout the operation.

    摘要: Brick are unloaded from a kiln car one double-layer course at a time and formed into a stack at a receiving station by a combination unloader-stacker head rather than being unloaded by one apparatus and transferred along a conveyor to a stacking apparatus in single or double-layer courses or rows. During the unloading and stacking, a tyne course pickup head is operated synchronously with the unloader-stacker head to form a tyne course at a prescribed position in the stack. The receiving station may be either an elevator operated table or a set of powered conveyor rollers onto which the brick stack is formed. Completed stacks formed by the unloader head are then transferred as a unit to the stacking head.

    摘要: Raw bricks are cut from an extruded column of clay and conveyed in single file past a sensing means including an inclined light path extending between a light source and a plurality of photocells arranged linearly along one side of the conveyor. The light path cuts through one corner of each brick, and the photocell arrangement measures the thickness thereof. The sensing means is adapted for use with both ''''standard'''' and ''''utility'''' size bricks and also effective to determine undersize as well as oversize bricks. A brick ejecting means is mounted adjacent the conveyor, immediately succeeding the photocells, and is responsive to the sensing means to eject prescribed bricks of improper thickness. The ejecting means includes a pivotal kickoff lever attached to the free end of an air cylinder and so arranged as to deliver a sharp blow to the end of a prescribed brick during the upward portion of its arcuate path. Such an arrangement imparts to the brick a strong, upward and outward movement without further or continuous engagement by the lever, and eliminates the frictional drag of the conveyor belt facilitating removal of the brick therefrom. The transverse path of the lever is angularly adjustable with respect to the conveyor path, so that the force imparted by the lever includes a longitudinal component along the conveyor path as well as a transverse component to utilize somewhat the impetus of the brick along the conveyor in lifting and removing it therefrom.
