Patent number: 7674155Abstract: A process for artificially ageing blocks, in particular concrete blocks, vitrified bricks and natural stones, provides that the blocks are applied to an underlying surface. Essentially freely movable distressing bodies are applied to the surface to be worked of the blocks. The blocks and the distressing bodies are brought into movement in relation to one another by a vibrating motion of the underlying surface in such a way that the distressing bodies act on the surface and the adjoining, exposed edges of the blocks.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2008Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Baustoffwerke Gebhart & Sohne GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Hans Gebhart, Martin Rothdach, Thomas Riedle, Hermann Sauter

Patent number: 7651328Abstract: An apparatus for the artificial ageing of blocks, in particular concrete blocks, clinker bricks and natural stone blocks, has a base on which the blocks can be placed in such a way that their surfaces to be treated and the adjoining edges are exposed. Essentially freely movable striking bodies are used for treating the surfaces and the adjoining edges of the blocks. A vibrating device sets the blocks and the striking bodies in motion relative to one another in such a way that the striking bodies act on the surfaces and the exposed edges of the blocks. In this case, the striking bodies are movably fastened to a retaining device in such a way that the striking bodies are freely movable within a defined region of the surface of the blocks.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Baustoffwerke Gebhart & Sohne GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20080197644Abstract: A device for lifting a layer of stones, particularly of artificially aged cast concrete stones, clinker bricks or natural stones, comprises a vacuum device with a suction opening for drawing up the stones. The suction opening (4) obtains, by means of changeable template elements (5), a pattern consisting of closed and open suction areas (6,7). The created pattern is essentially adapted to the respective layer of stones (1) to be lifted, and concentrates the suction power of the vacuum device, in essence, onto the upper surfaces of the stones.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2006Publication date: August 21, 2008Applicant: BAUSTOFFWERKE GEBHART & SOHNE GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20070207714Abstract: A device for tilting split stones, which have a broken structure on at least one surface such that a surface which is orientated laterally before the tilting process, is rotated to form the upper side of the stone after the tilting process. At least one receptacle is provided for a row of stones, the receptacle having a first bottom surface on which the row of stones rests in an initial position, and a second bottom surface on which the row of stones rests in an end position after the tilting process. A rotational axis extends along a connecting point between the two bottom surfaces and about which the receptacle is rotated to tilt the stones. An actuator is moved linearly and engages one of the two bottom surfaces such that the receptacle rotated about the rotational axis as a function of the linear movement of the actuator device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2007Publication date: September 6, 2007Inventors: Hans Gebhart, Martin Rothdach, Jan Gardas
