Filed: 1966-02-15
Abstract: 1,134,812. Moulding concrete. INTERNATIONAL PIPE & CERAMICS CORP. 15 Feb., 1966, No. 6653/66. Heading B5A. [Also in Divisions E1 and F2] In a method of moulding a pre-stressed concrete body the ends of the tensioned prestressing wire or wires are each held by a recessed anchor member which can be rotated to twist and break the wire. In one example, Fig. 1, a pipe mould 10 comprises a core 19 on which socket forming members 15 and 21 are mounted, a shell 17 and end walls 16 and 23. Each end of a pre-stressed wire receives a washer 31, Fig. 7, beyond which it is flattened at 28 and headed at 27 for reception by a two piece anchor member 32 or 48 the upper one 48 of which is connected to a bar 49 which can be moved by a traction device to tension the wire which is then held under tension by inserting a wedge 58 into a slot in the bar 49. The tapered ends of the anchor members 32, 48 project into the mould cavity so that the wire breaks short of the end of the east body. The concrete contacting surfaces of the anchor members may be coated with a lubricant, e.g. a lithium soap grease.
