a) Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a panel for a round form comprising a form skin, on whose backside vertically extending profile rails are disposed, with which horizontal curved shaping bars are detachably connected.
b) Description of Related Prior Art
Form panels of this type are known. In order to implement one side of the round form (e.g. an outer form) from such panels, several panels of this type, to be arranged next to and/or above one another, are connected with one another. An outer and inner form can herein be developed analogously. In a region between the vertically extending profile sections, concrete pressure is borne by the form skin. Shaping bars, also referred to as anchor rails, determine a curved shape of the panels. Further, these shaping bars conventionally form a bearing surface and abutment for anchors of the form anchored therethrough.
Such form panels are reusable. If herein a radius of curvature of a round form is to be for example smaller than in a preceding application, roundness of dismounted shaping bars is contoured to a required greater curvature by plastic deformation with an appropriate rounding device. Since the shaping bars are disposed radially further inwardly than the form skin, the shaping bars would, after the contouring, project laterally beyond the form skin. The shaping bars are therefore cut correspondingly in order to terminate laterally flush with the form skin. If the form panel is to be applied in a subsequent use for production of a round form with a greater radius of curvature (=smaller curvature), the shaping bars must be replaced since previous shaping bars are now too short.
Apart from round forms, in which shaping bars are deformed by plastic deformation to desired curvature by use of an appropriate rounding device, mechanical systems are also known, in which shaping bars comprise articulations, which can be adjusted according to a desired curvature of a form panel. Of disadvantage herein is complicated structuring and elaborate adjustment work of the articulations.
One important object of the invention is providing a form panel of the above described type, which, at simple structuring can be employed for different radii of curvature of a round form without cutting ends of shaping bars, or a replacement of these shaping bars being required.
Consequently, according to the invention a one length-adjustable shaping bar is provided. In a case of an inner form a shaping bar can thereby be shortened for a greater curvature and, in a case of a lesser curvature, the shaping bar can be lengthened or, in a case of an outer form, the shaping bar can be lengthened with a greater curvature and shortened with a lesser curvature, such that in each instance the shaping bar terminates at an edge of the form skin. As a function of the curvature, the cast elements are therein offset relative to one another at a variable width. In a case of an inner form, a smallest radius curvature for which the form panel can be employed, is that radius at which the cast elements terminate without offset relative to one another at the side edges of the form skin. In a case of an outer form, this is a case of a greatest radius of curvature for which the form panel can be employed.
Connection of the shaping bars with the vertically extending profile rails preferably takes place via shoes. For this purpose, these shoes can comprise a first clamping part in contact on the profile rail as well as a second clamping part gripping the cast elements on their sides facing away from the form skin, with the clamping parts being braced by a tightening bolt penetrating bores in the clamping parts and in a web, parallel to the form skin, of a particular profile rail.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention above and beneath a longitudinal opening of a shaping bar at least two cast elements, in contact with one another, are available, of which in each instance at least one extends toward a particular front-side end of the shaping bar. Through longitudinal openings can penetrate anchor rods for anchoring of the form.
The cast elements are preferably implemented in the form of plates, and thus have a form of a flat rectangle in cross section. Such flat elements can most readily be contoured with least deformation by use of rollers.
Further advantages and details of the invention will be explained in the following in conjunction with an embodiment example depicted in the drawings. Further objects of the invention are evident therefrom.
In
On a backside of the form skin 1, facing away from form surface 2, several vertically extending profile rails 3, 4 are disposed, e.g. bolted on the form skin. Herein two boundary-side profile rails 3 are available, which preferably have a U-form cross section. Each of the open sides of U-form cross sections of the two boundary-side profile rails 3 faces away from an edge of the form panels. The profile rails 3 comprise webs 9, in contact with the backside of the form skin 1 and fastened to the form skin 1, webs 5 extending from webs 9 at an edge and perpendicularly to the form skin 1, and webs 6, extending at ends of webs 5 remote from the form skin 1, and extending from these webs 5 parallel to the form skin 1. The webs 5 perpendicular to the form skin 1 are preferably flush with front-side ends 7, 8 of the form skin 1.
Between the boundary-side profile rails 3 are disposed at a spacing from one another several vertically extending profile rails 4 on the backside of form skin 1. These profile rails 4 are preferably implemented such that they have a Z-form cross section. They are fastened on form skin 1 with webs 10 in contact with the backside of form skin 1. From an edge of each web 10 projects a web 11 perpendicularly with respect to the form skin, and on an end of web 11, remote from the form skin 1, extends a web 12 extending parallel to the form skin 1. Distances between adjacent profile rails 3, 4 are determined by mechanical laws of statics and can be, for example, in a range between 50 cm and 1.5 m.
With the vertically extending profile rails 3, 4 are detachably connected horizontally extending shaping bars 13. The shaping bars 13 are curved in a horizontal direction, whereby a curvature of the form panel is determined in the horizontal direction. By varying a curvature of the shaping bars 13 the curvature of the form panel can be varied.
A more precise implementation of the shaping bars 13 will be explained in the following in conjunction with
If all cast elements 14 extend without mutual offset v at both front-side ends of the shaping bars 13, the greatest (in the case of an inner form) or the least (in the case of an outer form) curvature is designated for this form panel.
All of the cast elements 14 have preferably the same length, but they can also be of different lengths.
As stated, the shoes 15 serve for holding together the cast elements 14 and furthermore for preventing them from buckling or being twisted about a horizontal (curved) axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the shaping bar 13. A connection of the shaping bar 13 with the vertically extending profile rails 3, 4, furthermore, preferably takes place via the shoes 15.
In the embodiment according to
One of the two clamping parts 18, 19 is in contact with web 6 of the profile rail 3 or web 12 of profile rail 4. In web 6 or 12 a bore is disposed congruent with bore 25. Into the slots 24 of this clamping part 18 are introduced the one side edges of the cast elements 14. Onto opposite side edges of cast elements 14 is slipped the second clamping part 19. In the depicted embodiment the second clamping part 19 is implemented identically to the clamping part 18, but placed in position rotated by 180 degrees about a horizontal axis and by 180 degrees about a vertical axis relative to the clamping part 18. By virtue of the tightening bolt 20 penetrating web 6 or 12 and the clamping parts 18, 19, the clamping parts 18, 19 are braced against one another and fastened on the profile rail 3 or 4, respectively. The tightening bolts 20 in the depicted embodiment example are formed by bolts in connection with nuts.
At each point of intersection of the shaping bar 13 and the profile rails 3, 4 is preferably provided shoe 15 for holding together and aligning the cast elements 14 and for fastening the shaping bar 13 on the profile rails 3, 4. Into two boundary-side shoes 15 the cast elements 14, spaced apart from a particular front-side end 16, 17, project at a greater or lesser distance and (with smaller curvatures of the form panel in the case of an inner form, or with greater curvatures in the case of an outer form) can also terminate before boundary-side shoe 15. It is in principle also conceivable and possible to provide for this situation a boundary-side shoe with slots 24 implemented in one or both side shanks of the clamping parts 18, 19, wherein a width of the slots corresponds only to a thickness of a single cast element 14.
Between the upper cast elements 14, in contact with one another, and the lower cast elements 14, in contact with one another, is located a longitudinal opening 26 of the shaping bar 13. Through it can extend an anchor rod 27 of an anchor, such as is shown in
Connection of several form panels disposed one above the other can take place in a conventional manner, for example by use of tubular pieces 30 disposed at a lower edge of one of the form panels, which tubular pieces 30 are placed onto tubular pieces disposed on an upper end of a lower one of the form panels and are screwed thereto by use of threaded bolts. For centering the tubular pieces 30, conical recesses 31 and corresponding truncated cone-form extensions (not shown in the Figures) to engage into the conical recesses 31 can be provided.
Form panels to be disposed one next to another can be bolted together via their boundary-side profile rails 3, whose webs 5 are in contact on one another. In the webs 5 bore holes 32 can be disposed for passage of threaded bolts.
To achieve continuous rigidity of the shaping bars 13 between form panels laterally adjoining one another, the shaping bars 13 of adjacent form panels can also be connected with one another via connection units. One possible implementation of such a connection unit is shown schematically in
To achieve continuous rigidity between laterally adjoining form panels, it would also be conceivable and possible to dispose at levels between the shaping bars 13 preferably horizontally extending connection rails, which extend over both adjoining form panels and which are connected with at least one of the profile rails 3, 4 of a particular form panel. They are here preferably in any case connected with two boundary-side profile rails 3, adjacent one another, of the two form panels. As shown in
If the curvature of the form panel is to be changed, the tightening bolts 20 are loosened, whereupon the cast elements 14 can be dismantled. The cast elements 14 are plastically deformed to a desired curvature with a contouring device (by use of appropriate rollers). The shaping bars 13 are subsequently reassembled, with the cast elements 14 being correspondingly offset, and the tightening bolts 20 tightened. In proximity of two front-side ends 16, 17 of the shaping bars 13 at least particular cast elements 14, extending up to these front-side ends 16, 17, should extend through boundary-side shoes 15. The shaping bars 13 can thereby be connected with the boundary-side profile rails 3.
A further modified embodiment example of a clamping part 18 of a shoe is depicted in
At the front-side ends 7, 8 the form skin is preferably provided with an edging protection 42. (
Various modifications of the depicted embodiment example of the invention are conceivable and possible without going beyond the scope of the invention. For example, more or fewer cast elements 14 can be provided. It would also be conceivable and possible, for example, that the shaping bar 13 is formed by two cast elements 14 implemented such that they are U-shaped in cross section, which are correspondingly offset in the longitudinal direction of the shaping bar 13. In order to make possible an interspace for passage of anchor rods 27, it could also be provided here to place the two U-shaped cast elements with free ends of their side shanks in contact with one another, with the free ends of the side shanks being locally provided with indentations for formation of a longitudinal opening.
It would also be conceivable and possible to implement the boundary-side profile rails 3, instead of in the depicted U-shaped implementation, in the same manner as the profile rails 4, thus as Z-profiles. A web extending spaced apart from the form skin 1 and parallel to the form skin 1 could in this case be disposed for example pointing away in each instance from a side edge of the form panel. A web vertical with respect to the form skin 1, would, in case of the Z-form implementation of the profile rails 4, be spaced apart from the front-side end 7, 8 of the form panel. The shaping bars 13 can extend beyond this web to a particular front-side end 16, 17 and preferably, again, terminate flush therewith. To connect two laterally adjoining form panels, again, connection rails could be provided disposed at levels between the shaping bars 13 and connected with the profile rails 3 and/or 4. In addition, at levels between the shaping bars 13 or the connection rails, respectively, plate-form elements could be bolted onto webs, spaced apart from the form skin 1 and extending parallel thereto, of the adjacent profile rails 4 in order to be able to absorb shearing forces acting in a vertical direction.
U-form or Z-form implementations, other than those depicted and described, of the profile rails 3, 4 would also be conceivable and possible, for example such having the form of an H.
As is evident based on the above description, the scope of the invention is not limited to the depicted embodiment examples, but rather should be determined with reference to the attached claims together with their full range of possible equivalents.
While the above description and the drawings represent the invention, it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that various changes can therein be performed without leaving the true spirit and scope of the invention.
