Method of surface finishing cast concrete panels

Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a method of surface finishing cast concrete panels with a ribbed finish and the aggregate between the ribs exposed as to shape. The method comprises the steps of pouring a wet concrete into a casting bed in the form of a concrete panel, forming ribs in the exposed surface of said wet concrete and exposing the aggregate as to shape on the upper surface of the ribs by moving a plurality of rotating discs over the wet concrete surface. The discs are mounted in spaced relation on a shaft, and the movement of said discs at their lower extremities due to their rotation and the movement of said discs due to their movement across the surface of said wet concrete being in the same direction, said shaft and said discs driving a furrow of wet concrete in advance thereof across the surface of said concrete.
