Description

Kit for the manufacture of balusters.

Technical sector of the invention

The present invention relates to a kit for manufacture of balusters.

Background of the invention

Currently there are different achievements for the manufacture of balusters. The use of recoverable molds, composed of two or more parts, which are employees repeatedly. The manufacturing process consists of fill said molds with mortar or concrete, letting it harden, to later open the mold and remove the baluster achieved, which must be reviewed next to cover their imperfections, such as burrs in the areas of lace between the parts of the mold, coke, pores and others. Such molds they also have the inconvenience of being filled one by one and their post treatment must therefore be independent.

To avoid the first imperfections, consisting of burrs or marks on the joints between the parts of the molds, there are disposable molds of one piece, prefabricated for this purpose based on material plastic or any other type, which must be destroyed to remove the baluster.

There are also other systems, intended for solve imperfections related to the appearance of coke and porosities, which allow mechanical filling and the processes of vibration.

These systems consist of base structures that they support a set of molds embraced by some element that keeps them together, side by side, forming a matrix of Molds or multiple mold. In the manufacturing process the Introduction of concrete inside the molds can be produce using vibrating hoppers that have outputs multiple, one output for each mold in the set, injected concrete in all molds at once. In this way, the multiple filling of the mold set but must be taken into the problem of compaction and deformation suffered by the same for the tension of the concrete, aspects that condition the element that embraces the mold set, usually metal.

In the latter case, a good result is achieved. as for the finishing of the balusters, but it is necessary to arrange of a very specific and difficult type of machinery availability.

In domestic use, when they are not needed manufacture more than the amount needed for a construction, they are more useful the previous systems based on single or single disposable mold covers use, due to the simplicity of its procedure when dispensing with everything type of specific tool or machinery, but in this case no deformation problems are eliminated, so it follows that there is no adequate system for manufacturing balusters at the domestic level.

The present invention is a novel solution and inventive to the aforementioned problems, while contributing numerous advantages to the state of the art.

Explanation of the invention.

The kit for the manufacture of object balusters of the invention overcomes the drawbacks described above and It is intended for domestic use, such as in the field of DIY or domestic construction.

The kit for the manufacture of balusters, is characterized by comprising a reinforced self-supporting container; a matrix or plurality of disposable baluster molds in which each mold is arranged next to each other and occupying the internal volume of the container, all adapted to receive in each mold a quantity of setting material, such as mortar or concrete, necessary for the filling and configuration of the baluster, and because the kit container serves as the packaging and support of the molds, before and during the manufacture of the Balusters

In a preferred embodiment, the kit package comprises a reinforcement structure that runs through the zones liable to suffer tension from said container.

In another preferred embodiment, the kit package It is made of cardboard.

Brief description of the drawings

The attached drawings illustrate, by way of non-limiting example, a preferred embodiment of the charging device object of the invention. In sayings drawings:

Fig. 1, is a plan view of a mode of preferred embodiment of the kit for the manufacture of balusters;

Fig. 2, is a perspective view thereof embodiment of the kit for the manufacture of balusters; Y

Fig. 3, is another perspective view thereof embodiment of the kit for the manufacture of balusters.

Detailed description of the drawings

In Figs. 1 to 3 you can see a realization of kit 1 for the manufacture of balusters.

In the plan view of Fig. 1, the upper part of the self-supporting reinforced container 2; the matrix or plurality of disposable molds of balusters 3 in which each mold 4 is arranged next to each other and occupying the volume inside the container 2. Said container 2 comprises a structure of reinforcement 6 that runs through areas susceptible to tension when the molds 4 are filled with the desired material, arranged said reinforcement structure 6 of the example along the perimeter of the side walls of the self-supporting container 2.

In Fig. 2 the walls of the 2 transparent container to show inside the kit 1. In said place, the matrix or plurality of molds 3 is embedded in the inside of the container 2 and compacted by the reinforcement structure 6 so that deformations of the molds 4 are prevented, therefore container 2 of kit 1 serves as the packaging and support of 4 molds before and during the manufacture of balusters, which it is when the molds suffer tensions due to the solidification of the concrete.

All this is adapted to receive in each mold 4 an amount of setting material 5, such as mortar or concrete among others, see Fig 3, necessary for filling and configuration of each baluster.

The baluster manufacturing process by kit 1 object of the present invention is simplified, with respect to the previously known embodiments, to The following stages:

First, the covers 7 of the container 2 and fix preferably although it is not a condition indispensable, the molds 4 if these are separated. Is fixing can be done by insulating tape for example, arranged by the top of the container 2. In this way, it prevents concrete from spilling between the molds 4. Next, molds 4 are filled with concrete, or the like, being possible multitude of methods such as one as simple as pouring the  concrete directly from a bucket. Subsequently, it is stirred or Shake the inside of each mold 4 with a rod, to allow the air outlet trapped in it. Then you enter an iron rod in each mold, to make the baluster more tensile resistant Finally, the concrete is allowed to harden for the required time and then open or disassemble the container 2 and cut each mold 4 of the matrix 3 to remove the baluster already made.

In this simple way, hereby invention, domestic manufacturing of balusters is achieved.

To facilitate the distribution of kit 1 and the manufacture of balusters, it is considered appropriate that the container 2 is made of cardboard, being able to add some type of reinforcing element 8, so that upon receiving each mold 4 the concrete, the assembly can withstand the lateral forces that occur.

Preferably, for molds 4 which make up the mold of molds 3, disposable molds are used known in the state of the art, generally made of blown plastic.

Obviously, kit 1 for the manufacture of balusters consisting of a reinforced self-supporting container 2 that serves as a packaging for a plurality of disposable molds 3, can be manufactured with different materials and shapes without it get out of the object of the invention. So, although in the case represented the container 2 is reinforced by a structure of reinforcement 6, self-supporting containers 2 are also applicable constituted of a reinforced material itself, such as hard cardboard or plastic.
