Abstract

The device forms a pile with bindings projecting alternately on both sides from a pile core. In one embodiment, the blocks are guided in on a table transporter which can be led horizontally above a pile shaft to bring the block against a front support device constructed as a magnetic bar. With a forwardly lying ferromagnetic binding the magnetic bar holds this firmly while a block with a rear lying binding is again taken up and laid against a rear support device. The blocks are thrown down on to the pile by simultaneous releasing of the front and rear edges and guide themselves as they drop by means of the magnetic bars.
