Abstract (en)

Method for transforming an initial layer of paving bricks, which are laid in a uniformly oriented pattern to a placing layer of paving bricks, which are arranged in a mutual herringbone pattern, wherein the bricks of the initial layer are supplied in a parallel way (C), row for row in working direction to brick turning means (14), to thereby be forced in the horizontal plane to an orientation at an angle to the working direction, wherein the bricks are fed until abutment against herringbone shaped stop means (23) operative in counter working direction, wherein the laterally outer bricks are guided and confined by guiding jig means (22), wherein the herringbone shaped stop means (23) comprise a herringbone shaped end jig, which is moved along with the formation of herringbone rows in the working direction. <IMAGE>
