  • Patent number: 4749170
    Abstract: A method of arranging a splice sleeve to receive a reinforcing bar in a mold for use in manufacturing a precast concrete member by providing an elastic body having a through opening hole generally extending through the longitudinal center of the body, in the interior hollow of the sleeve by inserting an extending bar with a pull-out preventing portion at the end of the bar, into the through hole of the elastic body so as to form the bar projecting from the inside of the mold to the outside of the mold, and by drag pulling the projecting extending bar toward the outside of the mold so as to press the elastic body, thereby to fix the elastic body to the interior wall of the sleeve, and the elastic body being compressed so as to get in close contact with the interior surface of the sleeve, thereby to fix the splice sleeve to the mold.
