THOMAS WV. CARRIOO, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
MOLD FOR BUILDING CONCRETE WALLS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,11 dated November 24, 1885.
Application filed March 17, 1885.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS W. CARRIOO, of San Antonio, in the county of BeXar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Molds for Building Concrete \Valls; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being hand to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in molds for building concrete walls; and it consists in, first, the combination of the sides of the molds with clamps, which are applied thereto at suitable distances apart and which hold the sides of the mold in position; second, in the arrangement and the combination of the parts,which will be more fully described hereinafter.
This invention is intended as an improvement upon the two patents granted to me and dated, respectively, July 8. 1884, No. 301,671, and January 6, 1885, No. 310.377.
Figure 1 is a perspective of an apparatus embodying my invention. Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are detail views of the same.
A represents the side pieces of the mold, which are braced and strengthened at suitable distances apart by means of the metallic cleats W, which are appliedto opposite sides of each side A of the mold, and clamped together by suitable screw-bolts, as shown in Fig. 1. The cleats applied to the inner sides of the sides A are recessed in the sides so as to be flush therewith, and thus leave no mark upon the wall.
The outer sides of these sides A may be given any ornamental shape, design, or configuration that may be preferred, so as to ornament one or both of the sides of the wall as rapidly as it is built. WVhen the top of the building is reached, or at any suitable points that may be desired, side pieces having cornices or other ornamental designs may be substituted for the plain side pieces with which the main portion of the wall has been built.
In order to keep the side pieces, A, perfectly straight and true, and brace them in position, side beams or braces, U, are applied Serial No.159,15 9. (No model.)
to the upper and lower edges of the side pieces, A, and which braces U enable the sides A to be kept perfectly even and true no matter What the length of the wall may be.
For the purpose of regulating the distance between the side pieces, A, gage-sticks B and D are applied to their upper and lower edges, as fully shown here, and described in my former patents. Also applied to the outer sides of the side pieces, A, direct or to the outerside of the pieces U, are the clamps which consist of vertical posts T, which are shaped upon their inner sides to correspond to the shape of the wall or foundation that is being built. To the lower ends of these posts T are applied roughened metallic plates for the purpose of enabling the clamps to take a firm hold upon whatever part of the mold with which they may come in contact. Passed through these clamps T, just above the top edges of the side pieces, A, are the clamping-rods O,which keep the top edges of the side pieces, A, the required distance apart, and which. clampingrods also serve as fulcra upon which the clamps move when forced apart or drawn together at their upper ends by the right and left screw threaded shaft S,which passes through the me tallic plates R,which are secured to the upper ends of the clamps, as shown. When this shaft S is turned in one direction by means of the handles which are applied to it, the lower ends of the clamps are forced tightly against the sides of the mold so as to hold it rigidly in position. These clamps are especially adapted for use in trenches where clamping rods, as shown in my former patents, cannot well be used. These clamps will be applied to the sides of the molds at any suitable distance apart.
Where a corner is to be formed, uprights or posts P, having the plate 0 with thickened ends applied to their inner sides,will be used, as shown and described in my former patents. The ends of the side pieces, A, will also have shoulders formed or cut in them, as is there also shown and described, for the purpose of making a perfect joint. Applied to the outer sides of the pieces, A, at a suitable distance from their ends, are vertical cleats X, which are bolted thereto and behind which one end of the clamp V catches. The other end of IOC the clamp catches behind the post P, and a set-screw which is passed through one end of the clamp holds the corner pieces and the side pieces rigidly together. In order to keep the 5 out-er ends of the side piece A flush with the post P, a plate, Q, is applied to the outer side of the post and made to project over beyond the end of the side piece, A, as shown, and then a setscrew is passed through this 10 projecting end of the plate so as to bear against the side of the part A.
The apparatus by means of which the mold is raised upward when one course of the wall has been built is the same as shown in my I 5 former patents, and need not therefore be more fully described here.
Where an opening-as, for instance, a Window or door-is to be left in'the wall, a sheet of thin metal or other suitable material,Y, will be 20 inserted across the mold, as shown in Fig. 1.
In many cases it is desirable to make the wall apparently solid in the first construction, but to have natural breaks in the walls for putting in doors or windows at some future 25 time. In such-instances the pieces of sheet metal Y are placed in the mold so as to separate the wall at these points.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. The combination of the side pieces, A, 0f 0 the mold with clamps which are applied thereto and made to bear against both the upper and lower edges of the outside portion of the mold, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the side pieces of the 5 mold, the clamps, the screw-rods G, and the shaft S, having right and left screw-threads, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of the side pieces of the mold with the clamps having roughened metallic plates applied to their lower ends, the screw-rod O, and the shaft S, having right and left screw-threads, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnessess.
