The levelling member and the web provide relative displacement of the levelling member and the web, which results in the bearing surface of the levelling member bearing against the edge portions of adjacent tiles. The spacing formation is configured so that the adjacent tile edge portions bear against the spacing formation with the web being spaced from the adjacent tile edge portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventor: Peter Castellanos

Publication number: 20200056385Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2018Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventor: Kevin Lane

Publication number: 20200056386Abstract: A wheeled hose moving device that is movable over a support surface and that is operable to lift and move a concrete supply hose at the support surface. The device includes a wheeled support including a hose lifting device and a hose support element. The hose lifting device is vertically movable between a raised position and a lowered position and is adjustable between a lifting state and a non-lifting state. The hose support element is adjustable between a support state and a non-support state. The hose lifting device is, when lowered to be at the hose, adjusted to engage and lift the hose. As the hose lifting device lifts the hose upward, the hose support element is automatically adjusted from the non-support state to the support state to support the lifted hose.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventors: Trevor Eenigenburg, Ryan Kangas
