Method of building in situ construction using sequential molding techniques

Claim 1

A METHOD OF MAKING A CONCRETE BUILDING, WHICH COMPRISES SETTING UP AT THE BUILDING SITE A CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM COMPRISING VERTICAL FORMS FOR SIDE WALLS OF THE BUILDING AND HORIZONTAL FORMS FOR FLOORS, BUILDING SIDE WALLS OF CONCRETE CONTAINED WITHIN THE VERTICAL FORMS, LEAVING OPENINGS AT SPACED INTERVALS EXTENDING THROUGH THE WALLS AS THEY ARE FORMED, PLACING SUPPORT PLATFORMS THROUGH THESE OPENINGS IN THE WALLS, SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM AND RAISING IT AFTER THE CONCRETE HAS CURED FROM BENEATH THE PLATFORM BY JACKING MEANS RESTING ON AND APPLYING LOAD TO SAID PLATFORMS, POURING THE SIDE WALLS CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE DESIRED TOP IS REACHED, THEN POURING A FLOOR USING THE HORIZONTAL FORMS, LOWERING SAID CONSTRUCTION PLAFORM AFTER THE CONCRETE CURES AND SUPPORTING IT WITH THE SAME JACKING MEANS BY AGAIN APPLYING LOAD TO THE SUPPORT PLATFORMS TO THE LEVEL OF THE NEXT SUCCEEDING FLOOR DESIRED, POURING SAID FLOOR AND SUCCESSIVE ONES DOWNWARDLY BY LOWERING THE PLATFORM EACH TIME, UNTIL THELOWERMOST FLOOR IS REACHED, WHEREIN THE LIFTING AND LOWERING OF THE CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM IS ACCOMPLISHED BY A SERIES OF JACKING MEANS, WHICH COMPRISES SUPPORTING THE BUILDING PLATFORM BY A FIRST JACKING MEANS APPLYING LOAD TO A SUPPORT PLATFORM, MOVING SAID BUILDING PLATFORM WITH THE JACKING MEANS TO A DESIRED LEVEL, SUBSEQUENTLY SHIFTING SUPPORT OF THE BUILDING PLATFORM TO A SECOND JACKING MEANS APPLYING LOAD TO ANOTHER SUPPORT PLATFORM FOR SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT OF THE BUILDING PLATFORM TO THE NEXT DESIRED LEVEL, AND REPOSITIONING SAID FIRST JACKING MEANS ON YET ANOTHER SUPPORT PLATFORM FOR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCCESSIVE SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT OF THE BUILDING PLATFORM AFTER MOVEMENT BY THE SECOND JACKING MEANS.

Claim 2

A METHOD OF MAKING A CONCRETE BUILDING, WHICH COMPRISES SETTING UP AT THE BUILDING SITE A CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM COMPRISING VERTICAL FORMS FOR SIDE WALLS OF THE BUILDING AND HORIZONTAL FORMS FOR FLOORS, BUILDING SIDE WALLS OF CONCRETE CONTAINED WITHIN THE VERTICAL FORMS, LEAVING OPENINGS AT SPACED INTERVALS EXTENDING THROUGH THE WALLS AS THEY ARE FORMED, PLACING SUPPORT PLATFORMS THROUGH THESE OPENINGS IN THE WALLS, SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM AND RAISING IT AFTER THE CONCRETE HAS CURED FROM BENEATH THE PLATFORM BY JACKING MEANS RESTING ON AND APPLYING LOAD TO SAID PLATFORMS, POURING THE SIDE WALLS CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE DESIRED TOP IS REACHED, THEN POURING A FLOOR USING THE HORIZONTAL FORMS, LOWERING SAID CONSTRUCTION PLAFORM AFTER THE CONCRETE CURES AND SUPPORTING IT WITH THE SAME JACKING MEANS BY AGAIN APPLYING LOAD TO THE SUPPORT PLATFORMS TO THE LEVEL OF THE NEXT SUCCEEDING FLOOR DESIRED, POURING SAID FLOOR AND SUCCESSIVE ONES DOWNWARDLY BY LOWERING THE PLATFORM EACH TIME, UNTIL THELOWERMOST FLOOR IS REACHED, WHEREIN THE LIFTING AND LOWERING OF THE CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM IS ACCOMPLISHED BY A SERIES OF JACKING MEANS, WHICH COMPRISES SUPPORTING THE BUILDING PLATFORM BY A FIRST JACKING MEANS APPLYING LOAD TO A SUPPORT PLATFORM, MOVING SAID BUILDING PLATFORM WITH THE JACKING MEANS TO A DESIRED LEVEL, SUBSEQUENTLY SHIFTING SUPPORT OF THE BUILDING PLATFORM TO A SECOND JACKING MEANS APPLYING LOAD TO ANOTHER SUPPORT PLATFORM FOR SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT OF THE BUILDING PLATFORM TO THE NEXT DESIRED LEVEL, AND REPOSITIONING SAID FIRST JACKING MEANS ON YET ANOTHER SUPPORT PLATFORM FOR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCCESSIVE SUPPORT AND MOVEMENT OF THE BUILDING PLATFORM AFTER MOVEMENT BY THE SECOND JACKING MEANS.
