The present invention relates to a floor through-passage molding apparatus and constricting module thereof, and especially to, a floor through-passage molding apparatus in which a constricting module is employed to reinforce the entire structure of the apparatus.
Nowadays, in a large building construction such as a manufactory construction, it is essential to adopt a through-passage forming apparatus or a molding apparatus so as to reserve a space required for each through-passage in a concrete floor. After poured into a circumambiency of the through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus, the concrete is set to form each concrete floor and its through passages treated as vents, supplying-water pipes or cable passageways. Earlier through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus is a mere hollow standing sleeve. However, a bearing capacity of the current manufactory floor needs higher so that a thickness of the concrete floor is thickened and a length of the through passage is elongated. This revokes the through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus such as the standing sleeve heightened and its stressed region widened against the concrete. To avoid an impact from a huge amount of poured concrete from oppressing the through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus to deform, even from damaging formation of the through passage, several conventional through-passage forming apparatuses or molding apparatuses, e.g. a Japanese Utility Model Publication No. H5-32586, a Japanese Patent Publication No. H11-81663 and a Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-145142, have provided various improved technical solutions each of which structurally and primarily has an upper cover, a lower cover, a hollow standing sleeve and a long rod-like retaining assembly. For conveniently understanding,
Additionally, the upper cover, the lower cover and the retaining assembly would be stripped and removed from said through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus after formation of the concrete floor, except for only the standing sleeve which is reserved within the through passage of the concrete floor so that a firm connection between the standing sleeve and the concrete floor could not be always ensured. For example, the concrete floor might compress the standing sleeve since stressed under the construction.
Accordingly, it is essential to develop a through-passage molding apparatus capable of reinforcing its entire structure so as to resolve the aforementioned problem.
To eliminate the drawbacks of the aforementioned prior art, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a floor through-passage molding apparatus which reinforces the entire structure thereof by a constricting module, whereby during a process of forming a concrete floor through passage, a higher impact-resisting capacity is provided to prevent the floor through-passage molding apparatus from being deformed or slanted.
Besides, a secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a floor through-passage molding apparatus and a constricting module thereof. After forming a concrete floor through passage, said constricting module is capable of reinforcing a firm connection between the floor through-passage molding apparatus and the concrete floor.
To achieve the aforementioned invention objective, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a floor through-passage molding apparatus adapted for a floor construction having steel bars, which primarily and structurally comprises a forming sleeve and a constricting module.
Said forming sleeve has a sleeve wall forming an outer circumference surface thereon and defined with a channel, a first opening and a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are respectively located two opposite ends of said forming sleeve and communicated with each other via said channel.

In this annular arrangement, by connection of the second connection terminal of each of the short curved bodies with the first connection terminal of its neighbor short curved body, said plurality of short curved bodies are cascaded one by one into an elongated curved body along an adjustable radian until the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal on the two ends of the elongated curved body approach with each other for further building up a connection therebetween. To connect the second connection terminal of each of the short curved bodies with the first connection terminal of its neighbor short curved body, a pair of corresponding fastener assembly is utilized to be jointed with the cavities of said first connection terminal and said second connection terminal. Said pair of fastener assembly includes a bolt and a nut. By way of the bolt passing through the cavity of each of the first connection terminal and second connection terminal to screw on the nut, the second connection terminal of each of the short curved bodies is connected with the first connection terminal of its neighbor short curved body. The elongated curved body in which said plurality of short curved bodies are cascaded, is a deformable elastomer with an adjustable radian and thereby capable of extending along the outer circumference surface of the sleeve wall until the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal on the two ends of the elongated curved body approach with each other. Finally, by jointing the corresponding fastener assembly to the cavities of first connection terminal and the second connection terminal on the two ends of the elongated curved body, said elongated curved body can radially supports the outer circumference surface of the sleeve wall.
In another embodiment, said elongated curved body, the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are made in integral, wherein said first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are radially connected to the two opposite ends of said elongated curved body. The constricting module according to the present invention can greatly reinforce the entire structure of the floor through-passage molding apparatus such as a forming sleeve and thereby provides a higher impact resistance during a process of forming the concrete floor through passage, and especially in a horizontal direction where the being-poured concrete impacts, and can prevent the floor through-passage molding apparatus from deforming or slanting.
In another embodiment, at least one of the short curved bodies in said elongated curved body further has a third connection terminal for connecting to the steel bars of said floor construction. After the forming process of the concrete floor through passage, said constricting module can reinforce a firm connection between the floor through-passage molding apparatus and the concrete floor. At least one of the short curved bodies in said elongated curved body further has a fourth connection terminal for connecting to the sleeve wall of said forming sleeve.
In another embodiment, said elongated curved body, the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are made in integral, wherein said elongated curved body can have a third connection terminal for connecting to the steel bars of said floor construction, and a fourth connection terminal for connecting to the sleeve wall of said forming sleeve.
