1. An apparatus for producing a plurality of adjacent, parallel patterns on a malleable surface, the patterns being simulative of masonry such a bricks or cobblestones with mortar joints therebetween each pattern presenting opposed side edges, each pattern presenting opposed side edges, said apparats comprising:

  • a roller presenting an outer, cylindrically shaped surface presenting opposed end portions;

    a plurality of ridges, upstanding from said roller surface about the periphery thereof and defining an impression pattern thereon for impressing a corresponding simulated masonry pattern having simulated running joints extending continuously in generally parallel fashion along the pattern and having simulated header joints interposed between adjacent pairs of said running joints on a malleable surface, said ridges includinga plurality of spaced, generally parallel running ridges extending around said surface for impressing said running joints on the malleable surface, anda plurality of header ridges interposed between adjacent pairs of said running ridges and generally transverse thereto for impressing said simulated header joints on the malleable surface; and

    structural means, including an upstanding end ridge extending around one of said roller surface end portions and presenting the other of said end portions with header ridges free of an end ridge, for producing a masonry pattern on a malleable surface presenting a running joint along one edge thereof and presenting the other pattern edge with header joints without a running joint therealong, and for producing a second adjacent parallel pattern with the running joint thereof also as the pattern edge running joint of said first pattern.
