- liner plate, and a cutting element carried
by the die beyond the liner plate and sub-
stantially in alinement.with, the inner edges
of the teeth arranged on one side of said.
5 liner plate.
9. In a brick machine, the combination of
a die having a liner plate -]provided with a
delivery edge adjacent the delivery end of
the die and having inwardly projecting
10 teeth formed on said delivery edge, and a
wire fixedly disposed with relation to the
liner plate and arranged substantially in
alinement with the inner edges of the teeth
occurring along one side of said liner plate.
15 10. In a device of the class described, the
combination of a liner plate having an in-
turned delivery edge provided with a plu-
rality -of teeth, and a wire arranged rela-
tively to said liner plate and along one edge
20 thereof, as and for the purpose set forth.
11. In a device of the class described, the
combination of a liner plate adapted to form
a clay ribbon, and to..channel the faces of
said ribbon, of a cutting element adapted to
25 separate the ridges' formed between the
channels from the body portion of the -rib-
,)on,. substantially as set forth.
12. The combination of a liner plate hav-
ing an inturned edge provided with teeth
30 adapted to form ridges in a column of clay,
and a cutting element adapted to separate
the ridges from the column, substantially
as set forth.13. A device of the class described, includ-
ing a die having a liner plate disposed ad- s5
jacent its delivery end, said liner plate be-
ing provided with a plurality of teeth.
14. A brick substantially as described hav-
ing corrugations provided on a face and
having the surfaces between the corruga- 40
tions severed from the body of the brick
and distributed thereover, substantially as
described.
15. The herein described process of mak-
ing brick which consists in forcing the same 45
through a liner plate, grooving the brick as
it is delivered from the liner plate, cutting
the material between the grooves from the
brick immediately following the grooving
operation before described, and subsequently 50
pressing the cut away surfaces against the
brick, as and for the purpose set forth.
16. The -herein described process of mak-
ing brick which consists in forcing the same
through a liner plate, grooving the ..brick 55
as: it is delivered from the liner plate, sep-
arating the . surfaces between the grooves
from the body of the brick and at the same
time spreading said surfaces over said body
and subsequently pressing the surfaces into 60
engagement with the body.
