  • the plate 53 fills the gap between the two portions A and B and the shuttering member is accordingly of its maximum width.
  • the plate 53 is withdrawn downwardly, and the two portions A and B have moved towards each other to permit the shuttering member to contract laterally.
  • two of the internal shuttering members would be arranged end to end, so that the front-to-back depth of the building is twice the length of each shuttering member.
  • the rear shuttering member is omitted, for clarity, in FIG. 5.
  • each internal shuttering member is turned through to permit the shuttering member to be lowered slightly away from the concrete roof.
  • the handle 54 is operated to permit the shuttering member to contract laterally, away from the side walls. This contracting movement, downwardly and inwardly, causes the shuttering member to drop slightly on the carriage until the struts 7 contact the guide plates 25.
  • the shuttering member is now spaced from both the roof and the walls, and can be run out, on the carriage on rails, to the front of the building.
  • the shuttering member when the shuttering member is being placed in position, it is run into the correct position while in contracted position, it is run into the correct position while in contracted position on the carriage, and the vertical and horizontal adjustments of the support arms 24 are used for adjusting the shuttering member into exactly the correct position, whereupon the shuttering member is locked in that position, by the feet 32 and the intermediate plate 53, and the carriage can be re-adjusted and disengaged from the shuttering member and withdrawn on its rails.
  • the concrete has set the assembly of carriage and shuttering member is then run out of the building on the rails 16, which would be supported by any convenient bracing (not shown), into the position of FIG. 6.
  • a cradle 47 suspended from a crane hook 48 is then positioned over and engaged with the shuttering member and is used to lift each shuttering member off the carriage, and raise it onto another carriage positioned one stage higher.
  • the shuttering member is lowered onto the new carriage, and the cradle 47 is disengaged.
  • the entire operation of moulding the side walls and a roof span can then be repeated, as often as is required.
  • FIG. 8 To permit both the formation of a new raised rim 27 and the provision of a new rail system for the support of carriages at the next higher stage, there is used the assembly shown in FIG. 8.
  • the girder 59 acts as a shuttering for the raised rim 27, and the heading 60 serves to provide an undercutting which facilitates accurate formation of corners when a covering material is laid on the floor span.

  • the lefthand carriage in FIG. 8 could be used for the laying and positioning of service pipes, wiring, etc. which must be placed in position before the concrete is poured.
  • the right-hand carriage in FIG. 8 could be used to support (i) a hopper for pouring concrete, and (ii) a vibrator, and (iii) means for accurate determination of the level of the poured concrete, i.e., a screed.
  • a screed means for accurate determination of the level of the poured concrete
  • a suitable long length of rails may be provided and the same carriage used to carry each of the internal shuttering members in turn. During placing in position and removal the carriage also serves to raise and lower the internal shuttering member. More than two of the shuttering members may be placed end-to-end so as to form an elongated internal shuttering, e.g. for a tunnel.
  • the internal shuttering member can also be made of different widths, so that any length and any desired width of concrete structure can be made.
  • any convenient heating means such as steam pipes or electrical elements may be used in conjunction with the shuttering elements, for rapid setting of the concrete.
  • FIG. 13 there is seen a plurality of the shuttering units disposed side by side for the formation of a relatively elongated structure. It is important that all of the elements shall be exactly aligned with the neighboring elements, so that the surface of the eventual concrete is flat.
  • the device comprises an angle member 64 the arm 64a of which lies beneath the edges of two shuttering members disposed edge to edge, thereby ensuring that the surface of the shuttering members are level with each other.
  • On the other arm 64b there are welded two spaced plates 65 each having a tapered slot 66 in which is received a bolt 67 serving to anchor the device to the respective shuttering member.
  • FIG. 17 there is seen an illustration of the manner in which a plurality of the shuttering members could be used for producing a building with several floors.
