  • Patent number: 6415578
    Abstract: The invention provides a device that may be used to quickly lay bricks to form a wall at a construction site. The device permits multiple layers of bricks to be quickly aligned and laid to form a mortarless wall. Mortar may be subsequently applied to the laid wall from the front to form a finished wall. The aligning device forms an integral portion of the finished wall. In one embodiment, each support includes an elongated frame that is attached to vertical columns of the interior superstructure with a reinforced shelf extending between the columns. The shelf includes a flat, rear wall with a transverse platform that protrudes outwardly to support bricks placed thereupon. A restraining clip projects angularly beneath the platform edge toward the rear wall to prevent brick dislodgement. An improved brick having a downwardly protruding stud may be used instead of conventional bricks to partially support the weight of the brick wall.
