Specification of Letters Patent. Appneation sied Mays, 191s.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, DENIS W. DALEY, a citizen of the United States, residing in Parkersburg, inthe county of Nood and State .of lWestV Virginia, have invented an Improvement in Removable Supports for Sides of Concrete-Molds, of which the following is a specification.`

In molding the walls or concrete or cement structures it is necessary to support horizontally and at diiierent heights the side boards of the molds between which concrete or cement is to be poured to form a section of the wall.

I have devised an' improved apparatusior this purpose, and the same is hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawing, `in which- Figure l is a vertical section ot a concrete wall and oi my apparatus in place thereon, and supporting side mold-boards in the position required for receiving plastic material between them. Fig. 2 is a sectional perspective view of a concrete wall with my apparatus applied in position' to support side and, Fig. 3 is a sectional perspective view ot the same parts las shown in Fig. 2, but with mold-boards added and arranged as shown in Fig. 1. v

The apparatus is formed of duplicate sets ot bars A and B, and two right-angular D. The duplicate sets are in practice, arranged on opposite sides of a concrete or cement wall, and are secured to- 'tion on the sides of the wall section. When thus applied, side mold-boards Gr rest upon the brackets and their outer sides lie against the portions ot the bars A that project above (not shown) which may be used to hold the bars A and B more firmly in due vertical position, andalso preventing the same turning on their axles.

lt is apparent that when the mold-boards G are supported in the manner indicated in Figs. l and 3, plastic concrete or cement may be poured into the space between them and will thus form an additional or superadded section of the wall. tion has set, the pins F are removed from the end of the twisted wire E, which permits detachment and removal of the duplicate supports from the wall.

rllie bars A and B may be constructed of metal or wood, and thebrackets are preter- `ably constructed of metal.

What I claim is:

l. An apparatus Jfor the purpose specitied, comprising duplicate sets of bars, outer ones of each side projecting above the inner ones, and secured thereto and right angular brackets secured to the bars at the upper ends of the shorter ones, the horizontal portions of said brackets projectinginwardly so as to overlap a concrete wall section, and means Jfor securing the duplicate sets together when appliedy on opposite-sides of a wall, as shown and described.

2. An improved apparatus Ior the' purpose specified, comprising a set of bars arranged side by side, and secured together, one of said bars being longer than the other,

Lwall by suitable means, which in thisy instance is a twisted wire E whose ends eX- tend across the wall section and pass through the barsand are secured temporarily in position by meansof pins F. The two bars oi" each duplicate set are laid together lengthwise `and secured in that position by suitrllhe bars A are about onethird (-2,) longer than the bars B and pro` ject above the latter whose upper ends support side mold-boards Gr. The right-angular brackets D are so applied that the vertical flange is clamped between the bars A and B, while the horizontal ilanges overlie and rest upon the top surface of the concrete wall section already formed. These brackets D serve as the means for supporting the dupliother bracket at the bottom ofthe longer bar, as described. A
