Abstract

Abstract Method for the continuous slide-casting of concrete objects for compacting the high-consistency concrete mix. Repeated parallel displacements back and forth are produced in the various regional zones in the high-consistency concrete mix placed in the mould by pivoting at least two opposite walls (10) of the slide-casting mould structure in the same direction relative parallel shafts (12) substantially parallel to each other and as synchronized relative each other, back and forth. Additional walls (4) fitted into the mould and forming oblong cavities, recesses or ribs in the concrete objects are pivoted in pairs with each other in the same direction and as synchronized with each other around shafts (7) placed at the ends of the additional walls next to the outlet end of the mould, the said shafts being substantially parallel to each other. The pivot shafts (7) of the additional walls are either substantially parallel to the pivot shafts (12) of the walls forming the main part of the concrete object in the mould or substantially perpendicular to the direction of the said latter shafts.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 168 words
A method for continuous slide-casting of concrete objects comprising compacting a high-consistency concrete mix in a slide-casting mould having a casting bed and two opposite walls so that repeated parallel displacements back and forth are produced in various regional zones in the high-consistency concrete mix placed in the mould, in particular, in displacement planes in the concrete mix that are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the casting base and parallel to each other, by pivoting at least the two opposite walls in the same direction relative to shafts substantially parallel to each other and synchronized relative to each other, back and forth, and further including pivoting additional pairs of walls in the same direction, said additional walls fitted into the mold and forming oblong cavities or ribs in the resulting concrete objects, and synchronizing the pivoting of the additional walls around additional shafts positioned at the ends of the additional walls adjacent an outlet end of the mold, the additional shafts being substantially parallel to each other.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 168 words
A method for continuous slide-casting of concrete objects comprising compacting a high-consistency concrete mix in a slide-casting mould having a casting bed and two opposite walls so that repeated parallel displacements back and forth are produced in various regional zones in the high-consistency concrete mix placed in the mould, in particular, in displacement planes in the concrete mix that are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the casting base and parallel to each other, by pivoting at least the two opposite walls in the same direction relative to shafts substantially parallel to each other and synchronized relative to each other, back and forth, and further including pivoting additional pairs of walls in the same direction, said additional walls fitted into the mold and forming oblong cavities or ribs in the resulting concrete objects, and synchronizing the pivoting of the additional walls around additional shafts positioned at the ends of the additional walls adjacent an outlet end of the mold, the additional shafts being substantially parallel to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 48 words
Method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot shafts of the additional walls are either substantially parallel to the pivot shafts of the walls forming the main part of the concrete object in the mould or substantially perpendicular to the direction of the said latter pivot shafts.
