AGITATOR FOR CONCRETE MOLDS Filed July 5, 1928 F l 7 6 C 7 INVENTOR Corn/ZZZ Jackson g A TTORNEYS Patented Mar. 18, 1930 UNITED STATES CORWILL JACKSON, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS AGI'IATOR FOR CONCRETE MOLDS Application filed 111175, 1928. Serial No. 290,355.
The main object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for molding concrete by means of which concrete material may be very rapidly and uniformly settled or compacted in the form, even when the mix is what is commonly designated as dry.
A further object is to provide an apparatus which renders practical the very rapid filling or setting and tamping of concrete material in forms with a minimum of manual labor required.
Objects pertaining to details and economies of construction and operation of my invention will definitely appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined in the claims.
A structure which embodies the features of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentar perspective view of a molding apparatus em odying the features of my invention, the same being illustrated in connection with a form for a column, and illustrating the manner of using or manipulating the same.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my improved vibrating unit partially in vertical section.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents the form for a column or pillar, 2 the concrete material and 3 the reinforcing elements arranged therein. The concrete material is a suitable mixture placed in the form and my improvements permit the filling of the same without directly tamping the material as is usual practice.
To settle or compact the material under the form uniformly throughout, I provide a motor housing or casing 4: within which the rotor 5 is supported. The rotor shaft 6 is 49 carried by suitable bearings in the housing, one of which is indicated at 7 This rotor shaft is provided with an unbalancing weight 3 so that as the rotor revolves a vibration of the casin is set up. This vibration is preferably in excess of three thousand R. P. M. as
it is found that a more effective tamping or settling of the concrete results.
The motor housing is provided with feet 9 at one end thereof to which I bolt the bar 10 having a head 11 disposed transversely relative to the motor caslng, this head constituting a form engaging member through which the vibrations of the motor casing are transmitted to the form when the member 11 is held against the side of the form.
The vibrating unit is suspended by means of a tackle designated generally by the numeral 12, the lower pulley or block 13 of which is provided with a link 14 which is engaged with a suspending book 15 on the upper end of the lever 16. This lever 16 is pivoted on the upwardly projecting ears 1 7 on the motor on the motor casing. The lever is provided with the downwardly pro'ect-ing arm 18 which is disposed at the side 0 the casing in opposed relation to the form engaging member 11. The lever 16 has a handle or handpiece 19 at its lower end.
A thrust arm 20 is mounted on the side of the casing and provided with a resilient pad 21 with which the lever engages, so the operator is largely relieved of the vibrations and at the same time the impact or form engaging member 11 may be urged against the side of the form.
By means of the handpiece the vibrating unit may be swung about on its suspending cable to engage the form in various positions relative to the mass of material therein. It is found, however, that in practice this rapid vibration sets up a vibration through substantially the entire body or mass of material and it is very uniformly and evenly compacted throughout, even when a very dry mixture is employed. Further, the material is so compacted andsettled that there are substantially no voids about the reinforce members or the coarser aggregates, no matter what the position of the same may be within the concrete mass.
I have illustrated and described my improvements in a simple embodiment. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe other embodiments or adaptations possible as I believe this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my improvements as may be desired.
