Patented 22 June, 1830, reissued.
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. Only the patent drawing is available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
For a Machine for Moulding and Pressing Bricks; Nathaniel Adams, Cromwell, Orange county, New York.
First patented June 22, 1832 (#{X6043}). Patent surrendered, and reissued upon an amended specification, October 14.
The patent, as formerly taken, (see page 229, vol. vi.,) was for “Grinding or preparing clay for bricks, and for moulding and pressing the same.” In the present specification, the grinding apparatus is wholly omitted, the patent being confined to the press, and the claim made is as follows:-“In this machine, the follower, and the apparatus used for raising, depressing, or spreading it, whether used in connection with the contrivance for moving the mould by pinion and rack, or in any other manner, for the purpose within mentioned, I claim as my invention.”
