Patent number: 6331105Abstract: An apparatus for making green bricks having the appearance of tumbled brick achieves these results by deforming a slug from which green bricks are made. The slug is deformed by the use of a reciprocating member that alternately retracts and then hits (deforms) the slug. By varying the angle of attack (between the deformation member and the slug), the degree of travel of the deformation member, and the orientation of deformation blades on the deformation member, the green bricks have a deformation pattern that appears fairly random as if they had been tumbled.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2000Date of Patent: December 18, 2001Assignee: Boral Bricks (NSW) Pty. Ltd.Inventor: Barry W. Lee
