Abstract
A casting machine for casting concrete elements comprising a support frame continuously movable above a casting mould and provided with means for feeding concrete into the mould. A vibrating device is slidably supported by the support frame and is provided with locking means engaging said mould for momentarily fastening the vibrating device unmovably to said mould during vibration of said mould while sliding with respect to the support frame from a starting position due to the continuous movement of the support frame. The support frame is provided with means for slidable retraction of the vibrating device with respect to the support frame to said starting position after vibration of the mould and unlocking of said locking means.
Claims6
A casting machine for casting concrete elements, said casting machine comprising a support frame (2) situated for movement above a cast mould (3), said support frame including means (4) for feeding the concrete into the mould, a vibrating device (7) for vibrating the mould and a mechanism (6) for moving the support frame along the mould during feeding of the concrete, characterized in that said vibrating device (7) is mounted on said support frame so as to be glideable in the direction of movement (B) of the support frame (2), locking units (12, 14) being located on said vibrating device whereby the vibrating device is adapted to be momentarily fastened, without play, to the casting mould (3) for the time of vibration irrespective of the continual movement of the support frame, a carriage (9) for supporting said vibrating device, a guide (8) supporting said carriage for movement therealong an in parallel with the direction of movement of said support frame, said guide being supported by the support frame, and shifting means (21) being connected to said carriage for moving the carriage along the guide.
