Brick molding machine

[cicididi]

Briefly summarized, the invention embodies a level flighted conveyor for brick form mold carried by pallets. A clay hopper above this conveyor has an internal vibrator and an inclined clay feed auger delivering clay through a bottom hopper discharge opening at the downstream end of the hopper. The clay enters the brick molding cavities of each moving form and a wet flapper blade on the bottom of the hopper forces the clay toward the front of each mold cavity and then trips over each form transverse divider wall so that the clay can fill each cavity.
Immediately beyond the hopper, a vibration diaper assembly imparts high frequency vibration to each form, and a wet striker blade on the diaper assembly strikes excess clay and water from the top of each form.
