The invention concerns a brick press which can be operated manually to produce coherent bricks from appropriate loose material. The brick press has a brick pressing chamber (12) which can be charged with the loose material. The pressing chamber is defined by side walls (16), a bottom wall in the form of a movable platen (18) and a top wall in the form of an openable and closable lid (20). A lever mechanism (40) can be operated, when the lid is closed, firstly with a cam action to move the platen towards the lid so as to apply initial compression to loose material in the pressing chamber and thereafter with a levering action to apply final compression to the initially compressed material in the pressing chamber. |
