Abstract

In connection with the moulding of tiles and bricks, for example for paving etc., use is made of moulding equipment comprising an under-part (16) with moulding cells (18) corresponding to the shape of the tile or brick, and an upper-part (2) with tubes (6) which support downwards-extending pressure plates (8) corresponding substantially to the shape of the moulding cell, and such that the pressure plates (8), in the forming of the items by vertical displacement of the under-part (16), are fed down through the moulding cells (18). With the invention, there is disclosed an upper-part (2) comprising means whereby the upper-part (2), alternatively the under-part (16), comprises means (20, 24) which ensure that when the under-part (16) is raised to a certain minimum height, which is greater than the thickness of the mould items, the pressure plates (8) maintain their position outside, or their guiding engagement with, the sides (14) of the cell (18) corresponding therewith. In the forming of the items (28), it is hereby avoided that the pressure plates (8) are guided outside the limits of the cells (14) in the under-part (16).
