To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GARLQBETTERMANN, residing at Hagen, 1; vVestphalia, Germany,

a citizenof the Republic of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improve! ments in Molds for Producing Molded Stone Slabs, of which the following is a specifica- This invention relates to box-like molds for the production of molded stone slabs with afiat Z-shaped cross section, and the object ofthe invention -is .to' enable'a large number 1 of such slabs to be produced simultaneously Q A denotes the base plate oi the box-like .Figure -1'is an end .-.is composed att ached by bolts a can be opened. by

a comb, Figure 3, a number of in asimple manner.

7 According to the inventiomthe mold has twoside walls situated opposite to one a'n- (other and carry ng pro ections arranged in the form of a comb and reaching from the base of the mold to its upper edge, said projections of the one side wall being staggered to those of theother side wall, the gaps between two adjacent projections on one side wall'being subdivided by transverse partitions which reach to the projections of the:

otherfside wall opposite said gaps. 1 In thedrawingz' V elevation of a mold for east slabs forming an; embodiment of the invention by way of examplefl Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

walls '13 are arranged after the manner of b ot'trapezoid cross section extending from the base up to the upper edge of the mold.

These projections are so arranged thateach gapbetweeniadjacentprojections b of one sidewall is opposite a projection onthe other side wall. Each such gap is subdivided by a transverse partition D loosely inserted into'the mold, Figure '3, and extending up to the, projection b on the other side wall opposite the gap, so

that a hollow space form of the flat Z- 4, to-be produced is of the cross sectional shaped slabs E, Figure A levers K, see particularly top plan partially in section V V I v a I of these lockinglevers is pivotally mounted and a so that the mold turning down the side On each of the two side;
