Claim 1
Independent Claim
244 words
A method for manufacturing concrete elements by means of such a turnable mould of a closed construction, said mould comprising: a first mould half; a second mould half which is hinged to the first mould half; an auxiliary mould to be detachably arranged between the first and the second mould half; and vibration devices, the method comprising the following steps: the casting is performed while the turnable mould is in an at least approximately horizontal casting position so that the mix to be cast is compressed in the space between the first mould half and the auxiliary mould, such that the first mould half functions as the casting base proper, the auxiliary mould being fastened to the inner surface of the second mould half, which is at least partly opened. the concrete in the mould being subjectd simultaneously to vibration and compression, the turnable mould is turned into an at least approxmately vertical vibrating position, whereupon the turnable mould is turned into an at least approxmately horizontal disassembly position, in which it is opened, using the auxiliary mold as a transport means for removing the cast element from the mould the turning of the turnable mould from the vertical position to the disassembly position being performed in the same direction as the turning from the casting position to the vertical position, such that, the turnable mould performs a turning of at least approximately 180° when moving from the casting position to the disassembly position.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a reinforcement framework required by the element is placed on the first mould half before casting.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, for the production of hollow slabs, wherein profile robs or tubes are placed in the turnable mould before casting.
