Abstract
Abstract Method for the casting of hollow slabs out of concrete by slide-casting. Concrete mix is extruded onto a base (18) preferably by means of a conical screw spiral (2). Thereinafter the mix is compacted by moving a cavity mandrel (3) fitted after the screw sprial. The end of the cavity mandrel (3) is moved along a path of movement of desired shape. The final end of the mandrel may be attached to the machine by means of a ball joint.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A method for casting hollow slabs out of concrete, in which concrete mix is extruded onto a base of a casting apparatus by means including at least one forming member for forming cavities in the slabs and the mix is compacted by moving said at least one forming member, wherein at least one end of said at least one forming member is moved along a predetermined path so that one point along a longitudinal axis of said at least one forming member maintains its position throughout movement of the member with respect to said longitudinal axis while another point longitudinally displaced along said longitudinal axis radially changes its position with respect to said longitudinal axis during movement of the forming member.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
121 words
A method for casting hollow slabs out of concrete, in which concrete mix is extruded onto a base of a casting apparatus by means including at least one forming member for forming cavities in the slabs and the mix is compacted by moving said at least one forming member, wherein at least one end of said at least one forming member is moved along a predetermined path so that one point along a longitudinal axis of said at least one forming member maintains its position throughout movement of the member with respect to said longitudinal axis while another point longitudinally displaced along said longitudinal axis radially changes its position with respect to said longitudinal axis during movement of the forming member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 1, wherein a rear end of said longitudinal axis of said at least one forming member maintains its position with respect to said casting apparatus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method of claim 1, wherein concrete mix is extruded onto the base by means of a revolving screw spiral fitted in front of said at least one forming member, wherein at least one end of said at least one forming member is moved along a path that passes around the axis of the screw spiral.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one end of said at least one forming member is moved along a substantially circular path.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 3, wherein rotary movement of said at least one end of the at least one forming member is produced by means of an eccentric attached to the revolving screw conveyor fitted in front of the forming member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one forming member is additionally rotated around its longitudinal axis.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method of claim 2, wherein concrete mix is extruded onto the base by means of a revolving screw spiral fitted in front of said at least one forming member, wherein at least one end of said at least one forming member is moved along a path that passes around the axis of the screw spiral.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said at least one end of the at least one forming member is moved along a substantially circular path.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 2, wherein rotary movement of said at least one end of the at least one forming member is produced by means of an eccentric attached to a revolving screw conveyor fitted in front of the forming member.
