Molding apparatus and molding method for producing bricks, blocks, stones and the like that have a smooth or embossed pattern and can be stacked and occluded

摘要

A molding equipment and method to mold stackable inter-engaging bricks, blocks, stones and the like and bricks, blocks, stones and the like produced therewith are disclosed. The molding equipment comprises a main structure which contains individual cavities. Each cavity preferably has a middle structure to which a brick separating element can be attached. Without the brick separating element, each cavity can form two attached splittable bricks whereas with the brick separating element attached, each cavity can hold two individual smooth or embossed face bricks. The size and shape of the stackable inter-engaging bricks is such that once out of the mold but still in an uncured form, the said brick can stand on its side without falling down, being damaged, buckling or being otherwise deformed during the manufacturing process.
