  • Patent number: 4529162
    Abstract: Conventional concrete segment molding flasks are constituted from separate bottom molding flasks and side molding flasks. Since the concrete segment molding flasks are respectively assembled with connecting bolts, and the bottom and side molding flasks are usually formed of steel material so that they are too heavy to manually handle with ease, it is extremely troublesome to assemble, disassemble and locate the molding flasks. This invention proposes to resolve said prior problems and aims to provide a concrete segment molding flask which can be easily assembled, disassembled and located as the bottom and side molding flasks are interconnected.
