Abstract
Curb forming apparatus comprising a device for pushing hardenable material through a channel defined by a mold and a feed extending into the channel for forming a groove into the hardenable material and for supplying elongate stock to the groove.
Claims23
Curb forming apparatus comprising:
- a device for receiving and forcing hardenable material through a channel defined by a mold of the device to form a curb having an outer surface;
- a source of elongate stock;
- a protuberance carried by the device for forming a groove into the outer surface of the curb;
- and
- a passage defined by the protuberance for receiving and feeding the elongate stock into the groove, wherein the elongate stock is removable from the groove.
In a device for pushing hardenable material through a channel defined by a mold of the device for forming a curb having an outer surface, an assembly carried by the device comprising:
- a source of elongate stock;
- a protuberance for forming a groove into the outer surface of the curb;
- and
- a passage defined by the protuberance for receiving and feeding the elongate stock into the groove, wherein the elongate stock is removable from the groove.
Curb forming apparatus comprising:
- a device for pushing hardenable material through a channel defined by a mold of the device for forming a curb having an outer surface;
- a source of elongate stock carried by a reel mounted to the device for rotation;
- a protuberance for forming a groove into the outer surface of the curb;
- and
- a passage defined by the protuberance for receiving and feeding the elongate stock into the groove, wherein the elongate stock is removable from the groove.
A curb formation method comprising the steps of:
- providing a protuberance extending into a channel defined by a mold;
- pushing hardenable material through the channel to form a curb having an outer surface and a groove formed into the outer surface by the protuberance;
- filling the groove with elongate stock;
- waiting for the hardenable material to at least partially cure;
- and
- removing the elongate stock from the groove.
