## Abstract

Anchor positioning equipment for pre-fabricating panels of reinforced cement mortar (10) that includes a prestressed biaxial reinforcement (9). The panel has some versatile actuator means (6) embedded into the mass of cement mortar (10), that do not project from any of the faces (11) thereof, for handling and/or securing said panel to the structure of a building. The means (6) comprise, on the one hand, means for retaining (13) in the set mortar mass and, panel anchoring means (14). The equipment has a fixed base structure (2) for supporting stable seat elastic arrangements (5), which receive means (6) and, on the other hand, movable frameworks (1) comprising gripping arrangements (3) for gripping means (6). Movable frameworks (1) are responsible for removing means (6) from stable seat elastic arrangements (5).

## Claims

### Claim 1

Installation for manufacturing a prefabricated cement mortar panel (11)), with a prestressed biaxial reinforcement (9), said panel (11) having versatile actuator means (6) suitable for handling and securing said panel to the structure of a building, said versatile actuator means (6) being embedded into the mass of cement mortar (10) of said panel (11), without projecting from any of the faces thereof, and said versatile actuator means (6) comprising, on one end, retention means (13) for embedding said versatile actuator means (6) in the set mass of cement mortar (10) of said panel (11) and, on the other end opposite the former, anchoring means (14) both for elements for handling said panel and for elements for securing said panel to the structure of a building, said installation comprising an arrangement for handling said versatile actuator means (6) during the process of manufacturing said panel (11); wherein said arrangement comprises:
a fixed base structure (2) for holding said versatile actuator means (6) before the process of embedding said versatile actuator means (6) into the mass of cement mortar (10) of said panel (11); said fixed base structure (2) comprising a plurality of stable seat elastic arrangements (5) distributed over said fixed base structure (2), each of said seat elastic arrangements (5) being configured for receiving one of said versatile actuator means (6); and
a movable framework (1) comprising gripping arrangements (3), said gripping arrangements (3) being distributed over said framework (1) so that said gripping arrangements (3) and said stable seat elastic arrangements (5) are aligned with each other, and at least one of said gripping arrangements (3) being configured for simultaneously gripping said versatile actuator means (6) and, due to the movement of said framework (1), drawing said versatile actuator means (6) from said stable seat elastic arrangements (5) of said fixed base structure (2).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Installation according to claim 1, wherein said stable seat elastic arrangements (5) are made up of a fixed base body (15, 16) and a movable seat body (20, 21) for receiving said versatile actuator means (6), said movable seat body (20, 21) having a lower part that slides inside said fixed base body (15, 16) and another upper part that projects outside said fixed base body (15, 16) and forms a seating tray for an elastic seating plate (23) that has a hollow (24) for fitting said retention means (13) of said versatile actuator means (6).

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

Installation according to claim 2, wherein said fixed base body (15, 16) comprises firmly in the inside thereof a guide bushing (17) for the sliding of said movable seat body (20, 21) and a radial finger (26) in cantilever arrangement the point of which, moving through the inside of a short groove (25) in said movable seat body (20, 21), determines the limits of movement of said movable seat body (20, 21) when loaded by a spring (22) located between said fixed base body (15, 16) and a platform (21) of said movable seat body (20, 21) or by a stress applied to said platform (21).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

Installation according to claim 1, wherein said movable framework (1) has as many gripping arrangements (3), as said stable seat elastic arrangements (5) has said fixed base structure (2), being housed in said gripping arrangements (3) in a sliding manner, although temporarily fixed, a gripping rod (4) which at one end includes coupling means (39) for coupling to an end of said versatile actuator means (6), while near the other end, it has a wide semitoric groove (37).

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

Installation according to claim 4, wherein each of said gripping rods (4) is incorporated at one end by said coupling means (39) to an end of said versatile actuator means (6) located in said stable seat elastic arrangements (5) of said fixed base structure (2).

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

Installation according to claim 4, wherein said gripping arrangements (3) are provided with releasable means (34, 35, 36) that operate on said gripping rods (4) to immobilize said gripping rods (4), at least during their interaction with said versatile actuator means (6).

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

Installation according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said gripping arrangements (3) acts as traction means for the traction of said panel (11) by said movable framework (1) when said panel (11) is being stripped from the mould.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

Installation according to claim 4, wherein said gripping arrangements (3) which act as traction means for stripping said panel (11) from the mould are associated with a fork (34, 35) comprising a pair of rods (35) that can be inserted into said groove (37) of said gripping rod (4).

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

Installation according to claim 1, wherein said movable framework (1) holds a metallic reinforcement (12A, 12B) which is arranged to be applied against a surface of a layer of cement mortar (10) of said panel (11), and wherein said metallic reinforcement (12A, 12B) is connected to a terminal of a high frequency electric current generator (HF), while another terminal of said generator (HF) is connected to a mould (8) that shapes said layer of cement mortar (10), so that a high frequency electric current generated by said generator (HF) accelerates the setting of said layer of cement mortar (10).

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

Installation according to claim 9, wherein said heavy metallic reinforcement (12A, 12B) acts to shape said surface of the layer of cement mortar (10), and wherein said metallic reinforcement (12A, 12B) closes said mould (8) to prevent water from evaporating from the mortar while it sets.
