Abstract
An assembly adapted to form the standard cubes of concrete blocks conventionally used in the construction industry, or similar stacked arrangements of blocks and which includes conveyors, a block receiving movable table, a shelf leading to the latter, a pusher device to push blocks in position on the table, jaws tilting mechanisms to tilt the blocks on one of the conveyors, an actuation device to reciprocatively displace the table to and fro relative to this one conveyor, and a shifting mechanism constructed and positioned to pick up a layer of tilted blocks from the one conveyor and to transfer the same layer on the other conveyor in either of two orthogonally related directions to superpose the required layers of blocks in the required directions relative one to another.
