Patent number: 12325151Abstract: A manufacturing method of a concrete pile is shown. The method includes the following, that is, pouring concrete in the pile molding space, reducing the pile molding space to compress and mold the concrete, draining water drained from the concrete by compression and molding outside of the formwork from the drainage hole, and holding the concrete a predetermined amount of time to harden the concrete. The formwork includes an outer formwork that molds an outer wall surface of the concrete pile, an inner formwork that molds an inner wall surface of a hollow space of the concrete pile, and a pair of end formwork that mold upper and lower end surfaces of the concrete pile. The drainage hole is a gap between adjacent components when the mold is tightened, and the gap is configured to be capable of being opened larger during cleaning than when the mold is tightened.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: GIKEN LTD.Inventors: Akio Kitamura, Hiroaki Tanouchi, Shinya Nakazawa, Masaaki Ono

Patent number: 12258724Abstract: A pile press-in construction method uses a pile press-in device having a saddle, a clamp device grasping a top of an existing pile, a mast, a raising and lowering device, and a chuck device supported by the mast and holding a pile. The pile press-in device generates a reaction force by griping the existing pile with the clamp device, holds the pile by the chuck device, presses the pile into the ground by the raising and lowering device, and successively presses piles in while moving on a pile row including the existing pile to thereby extend the pile row. By turning of the mast and tilting of the chuck device about a chuck tilting axis, the chuck device is laid sideways and projects outward to a side of the pile row, the pile is supplied and inserted into the chuck device, and the chuck device grasps the pile.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: GIKEN LTD.Inventors: Masaaki Ono, Toshihiko Murata, Yasuhiro Tanaka, Yoshihiro Morioka

Patent number: 11661717Abstract: Provided are a pile press-in device and a pile press-in method that allow an efficient construction even when electrically powered devices and hydraulic devices coexist in order to give drive members a driving force. A pile press-in device (1) comprises a chuck (5) for gripping and rotating a pile (4) in order to press the pile (4) into a ground while rotating the pile (4). The pile press-in device (1) causes electric motors (6) corresponding to the electrically powered device of the invention to give the chuck (5) a driving force for the rotation. The chuck (5) is moved up and down by lift cylinders (7) which are hydraulically powered hydraulic devices. An integrated control board (50) controls the electric motors (6) and the lift cylinders (7) in an interlocked manner.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: GIKEN LTD.Inventors: Masaaki Ono, Katsuhiko Ono, Yoshihiro Morioka, Kengo Nonaka

Patent number: 11519149Abstract: Provided are a pile joint, a pile coupling structure, and a pile coupling method that allow firm uniting of piles to be coupled. A joint (10) for coupling two piles (12) comprises: a tubular body (16) into which each pile (12) provided with a key (14) on a periphery thereof is inserted through an end (16A) of the body (16); and a fitting portion (22) formed on the body (16) so as to be fitted to the key (14) by the insertion and rotation of the pile (12). The fitting portion (22) is formed with: a tapered shape having a surface (22A) that is inclined so as to become distant from the end (16A) of the body (16) as the surface (22A) extends in the direction of rotation of the pile (12); or a wedge shape for fitting between a projection and a pile.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: GIKEN LTD.Inventors: Akio Kitamura, Masahiko Yoshikawa
