Abstract: A table top brick molding machine includes a table defined by a top and legs, the top incorporating a grid open at its top and bottom for defining the sides of molds for receiving brick forming composition; a hopper for dispensing the brick forming composition into the grid; a chain and sprocket drive connected to the hopper for moving the hopper along tracks on the table top above the grid; a shelf beneath the grid for supporting a pallet on a carrier; and a lever system for raising the pallet against the bottom of the grid to complete the molds, and for lowering the pallet and carrier onto the shelf for removal laterally from beneath the table.

Abstract: A mobile brick molding machine includes a rectangular frame with a mold therein, the mold being a grid with open top and bottom ends for receiving a brick-forming composition when resting on the ground. The frame is provided with a wheel at its front center and a pair of wheels at the rear end thereof. The front wheel supports a jack, which is connected by a cable to a lever supporting one of the rear wheels whereby raising of the front end of the frame and mold using the jack results in virtually simultaneous upward movement of the rear end of the frame leaving the molded bricks.
