Apparatus for brick setting

摘要

A brick setting machine is disclosed which is operable to face set, stack without inverting or flat set. The machine is also operable to laterally space each brick from the next adjacent brick so that the faces and edges of the brick can be separately textured. The stacking, face setting and flat setting of the brick is performed by a plurality of elongated trays or turners which are operable to simultaneously rotate substantial numbers of brick through 90 DEG so that they rest on their sides and then when stacking or face setting is required to rotate adjacent rows of brick through an additional 90 DEG to form pairs of vertically aligned brick one resting on the other. The stacking is provided without gripping the brick so as to avoid damage to the brick.
