Abstract: A U-shaped, half-room precast concrete building unit is molded in an open box-like framework having four L-shaped corner assemblies, facing pairs of horizontal legs of which are respectively joined by laterally-extending telescoping spacers, and facing pairs of vertical legs of which are respectively each joined by two laterally-spaced longitudinally-extending plates. Inserts having alternating voids and blocks are placed longitudinally between the vertical leg pairs to form complementary block and void patterns on the molded unit juncture edges. Retainers having projections are placed over the top edges of the plates to form complementary tongue and groove portions. Relative dimensions of the molded unit are selectable through adjustment of the relative positionings of the corner assemblies.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a building block which imitates a pile of dry stones. According to the method, the stones (10) are placed side-by-side on the bottom of a mold whose inside shape corresponds to the desired block shape, said bottom being constituted by a grating. Cement is then cast inside the mold. The cement (11) is compressed in order to force it to spread out uniformly inside the mold and to creep between the stones (10). While the cement is kept under pressure, water is projected through the bottom grating against the outside face of the block (1), so as to remove any cement which may be found thereon. Pressure is then removed from the cement and it is allowed to set. Finally the block (1) is extracted from the mold.

Abstract: An adjustable mold for casting asymmetric concrete highway divider sections includes a fixed sidewall, a movable sidewall, and two end walls. Each of the end walls is divided vertically into a first fixed panel and a second adjustable panel. The old can be set up to produce a barrier section that accommodates any difference in grade levels between the separated roadway lanes, within a preselected range, by adjusting the height of each second end panel relative to the adjacent first end panel and by adjusting the height of the movable sidewall to match the second end panels. All adjustments are made by means of simple jack screws. The end walls and the movable sidewall are mounted on hinged frames that can be swung open to facilitate removing a section casting from the mold.

Abstract: Fabricating techniques for forming insulated electrical connectors of the type to be subsequently mounted in panel apertures including techniques for simplifying the mold required to form such connectors and improvements in the connector itself and the manner in which that connector grips edges of an aperture in which it is mounted are disclosed. In its preferred form, the insulated electrical connector has a pair of generally flat parallel opposed side walls each provided with staggered notches oppositely extending from opposed side wall edges toward and slightly past one another in an overlapped and interleaved manner to form in the region of notch overlap a pair of slots extending generally parallel to one another and transverse to the notches.

Abstract: A container (1) is provided with a cover (2) which has a guarantee strip (4) which can be divided along a design tearing line. In this arrangement, the guarantee strip (4) engages under a holding bead (9) and at the same time is protected from unauthorized manipulation of the guarantee strip, by a protective bead (10). So that the container which is produced by an injection molding process can be produced by means of axially openable molding tools, the holding bead and the protective bead are interrupted in such a way, and are arranged offset relative to each other in gaps, in such a way, that the respective holding bead (9) only extends, on the outside wall of the container, over the length over which the protective bead (10) is interrupted. In this way there is no undercut configuration at any point, which would prevent axial retraction of the molding tools or axial ejection of the container.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making doll clothing and doll house accessories includes a plurality of mold shapes or forms which are used to produce various articles of attire such as dresses, pants, and doll house furnishings such as cushions, curtains, rugs, flowers and many other items. Each of the garment molds may include detachable portions, such as the arms, to facilitate removing a finished article from the mold itself. The doll house accessories are made in generally flat molds which provide the texture and shape of the finished item. A viscous, liquid plastic is applied to the exterior surface of the mold by a brush or other tool to cover the exterior of the mold which defines the particular article. The liquid coating sets or solidifies to form a flexible article adapting the contours of the mold. The garment is then removed from the exterior of the mold.
