Chimney lining former and compactor

A device for lining of a chimney with masonry mortar comprising:

• (a) a bell member having a nose portion, and a box-shaped lower portion, said nose portion having a cable opening, said box-shaped lower portion having a lateral fastening means, said bell member further comprising a vertical fastening means proximate to said cable opening and to said nose portion, said bell member further comprising a vibrator attached to said box-shaped lower portion within said bell member proximate to said nose portion, said bell member further comprising a light affixed to and depending from said box-shaped lower portion proximate to said vibrator, said bell member further comprising a power cable affixed to said light and to said vibrator passing through said cable opening, said power cable being connected to a control switch for the simultaneous or individual operation of said vibrator or said light, said bell member further comprising a support cable secured to said vertical fastening means for raising or lowering of said bell member;
• and
• (b) a shell member having a nose engagement section having a bell engagement opening, said nose engagement section telescopically embracing said nose portion of bell member supporting said shell member on said bell member, said shell member further comprising a box-shaped bell engagement section having at least two fasteners and at least two spacing means for spacing the shell member from the bell member aligned to said lateral fastening means, said fasteners engaging said lateral fasting means for attaching said shell member to said bell member such that said support cable raises or lowers both of said bell member and said shell member simultaneously during the compaction of the mortar and lining of a chimney.

A device for lining a chimney with masonry mortar comprising:

• (a) a bell member having an exterior, an interior, a nose portion, and a box-shaped lower portion, said nose portion having a cable opening, said box-shaped lower portion having at least two fastener apertures having aligned fastener seats attached thereto, said bell member further having a headbolt bracket attached to said interior of said bell member proximate to said cable opening and said nose portion, said bell member further comprising a vibrator shelf attached to said box-shaped lower portion within said bell member proximate to said nose portion, and a vibrator affixed to said vibrator shelf, said bell member further having a light affixed to and depending from said vibrator shelf, said box-shaped lower portion comprising an open lower section permitting light to emanate from said interior, said bell member further comprising a power cable affixed to said light and to said vibrator passing through said cable opening, said power cable having a control comprising a vibrator switch, a vibrator control dial, and a light switch for the simultaneous or individual operation of said vibrator or said light, said bell member further comprising a headbolt engaged to said headbolt bracket and a support cable secured to said headbolt for raising or lowering of said bell member;
• and
• (b) a shell member having a nose engagement section having a bell engagement opening, said nose engagement section telescopically embracing said exterior of nose portion of said bell member and supporting said shell member on said bell member, said shell member further comprising a box-shaped bell engagement section having at least two engagement apertures therethrough aligned to said fastener apertures, said box-shaped bell engagement section comprising an open lower edge, said shell member further comprising at least two spacers aligned to said fastener apertures and to said engagement apertures between said box-shaped lower portion and said box-shaped bell engagement section, said shell member further comprising a fastener engaged to each of said fastener seats, said fasteners passing through said fastener apertures and through said engagement apertures attaching said shell member to said bell member such that said support cable raises or lowers both of said bell member and said shell member simultaneously during compaction of mortar and lining of a chimney.
