Abstract
A method of moulding a shell-like structure such as a hull of a marine craft, pipe or building comprises stretching reinforcing mesh material 5 over a moulding surface 1a, and applying settable material (e.g. cement or polyester resin) to the mesh material whilst maintaining the latter in tension, using staples 8 driven into a wood strip 4 attached to the mould. Adjustable clamps 7, demountably attached to the ground 2, are used to grip the lower edges of the mesh material 5, so as to stretch the mesh material tightly over the moulding surface 1a. Stretching the mesh material 5 over the moulding surface in this way helps to form the material over any three- dimensional curves in the moulding surface. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in or relating to moulding
This invention relates to moulding.
The invention provides an improved method of manufacturing shell-like structures and has particular application in the manufacture of marine craft such as boats, barges and canoes.
According to the invention, a method of moulding comprises stretching reinforcing mesh material over a moulding surface, and applying settable material to the mesh material whilst maintaining the latter in tension.
The settable material is preferably cementitious but other settable materials such as plastics material may be used, where suitable. One suitable plastics material comprises polyester resin mixed with a filler. When cured, the plastics material has the appearance of cement.
As used herein, the term "mesh material" includes filamentary members subsequently disposed so as to form one or more meshes, as well as pre-formed mesh comprising interconnected filamentary members.
The invention also comprises moulded structures manufactured according to the aforesaid method, for example, marine craft hulls.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figures 1 to 5 are end views in cross-section, (Figures 3 and 4 being fragmentary), and illustrate various stages of manufacturing a FerroCement boat. Figure 6 is a fragmentary end view of a modification.
With reference to Figures 1 and 5, a male mould 1 is used to manufacture a FerroCement boat hull 20 (Figure 5).
The mould 1 in this example is of wood, although other suitable materials such as G.R.P. (Glass Reinforced Plastics Material) or FerroCement may be used instead. The mould 1 is supported at a convenient height above the ground 2 by pillars 3. A disposable wood strip 4 is attached, edge-on, to the periphery of the mould 1 and is detachably secured thereto by nails or the like. The exterior of the mould 1 defines a smooth convex moulding surface 1a.
To manufacture the boat hull 20 and with reference to Figure 2, mesh material 5, (formed by criss-crossed steel filamentary members 6), is laid over the moulding surface la.
Adjustable clamps 7, demountably attached to the ground 2, are used to grip the lower edges of the mesh material 5, by way of members 6, so as to stretch the mesh material tightly over the moulding surface la.
Stretching the mesh material 5 over the moulding surface in this way helps to form the material 5 over anythree-dimensional curves in the moulding surface 1a.
Next, the mesh material 5 is secured in place by driving staples 8 into the external face of the wood strip 4. The clamps 7 are now released and successive layers of mesh material are applied, stretched, and secured in the same way, as shown in Figure 3.
If desired, steel reinforcing rods 9 are hooked loosely in place, to be subsequently secured by the final, i.e. outer layer of mesh material 5.
With reference to Figure 4, when the desired number of mesh layers have been applied and stapled in place, excess mesh material is trimmed off and a wooden moulding strip 10 isdemountably attached to the strip 4, (e.g. by nails), so as to extend around the periphery of the mould 1.
The steelwork is now ready for plastering, using, in this example, a cement mortar.
The plastering is proceeded with, whilst the layers of mesh material 5 are maintained in tension by the staples 8.
Figure 5 illustrates the completed hull 20. The hull 20 has the reinforcing steelwork integrally bonded by the mortar, which is trowelled smooth to the moulding strip 10.
After curing, which may or may not be accelerated by the application of heat, the wooden strips 10 and 4 are removed and the hull 20 lifted offthe mould 1, leaving only a line of staples 8 imbedded along the periphery of the hull.
Stapling mesh material at the periphery of the moulding surface avoids the application of staples to the surface itself, and leaves the surface undamaged, so that the mould is immediately available for re-use.
The invention also results in a substantial reduction in production time, compared with other methods.
The invention can be used to manufacture structures other than marine craft, for example, water channels and simple buildings, particularly for use in the underdeveloped countries.
Figure 6 illustrates a modification wherein the hull 20 incorporates built-in stringers (25) and gunwhale members (26). A wider moulding strip (10a) is used when gunwhale members are incorporated.
