Quick check-in, close to main shopping area, budget.
Pleasant stay. Room and bathroom larger than expected, along with a massive 50inch flat screen TV with many channels to choose from. Getting to the hotel was a bit difficult as neither taxi drivers nor pedestrians knew where the address was even in Korean, but the location is still pretty good. For directions, get a bus towards Myeongdong Ipgu, head back down the road towards a large crossroad, and turn right and go straight up a massive hill for about five minutes, and you will see a sign pointing right with the words Jungang-ro 27beon gil.

The effect of executive function on biological reasoning in young children: an individual differences study.
Zaitchik D1, Iqbal Y, Carey S.
There is substantial variance in the age at which children construct and deploy their first explicit theory of biology. This study tests the hypothesis that this variance is due, at least in part, to individual differences in their executive function (EF) abilities. A group of 79 boys and girls aged 5-7 years (with a mean age of 6½ years) were presented with two test batteries: (a) a biology battery that probed their understanding of life, death, and body functions and (b) an EF battery that tested working memory, inhibition, and set-shifting skills. Individuals' EF scores significantly predict their biology scores, even after controlling for age and verbal IQ.

Description
This inventin relates to a casing stabbing apparatus for running casing pipe into a well bore.
During the running of casing pipe into a well bore, it has heretofore been customary practice to raise an add-on section of casing pipe into the derrick by the use of wireline slings or the like. Thereafter, the add-on section is moved to the proper vertical alignment for stabbing of the lower pin end of the casing pipe into the upper box end of the casing pipe string being supported in the well bore by appropriate slips or the like. Once the add-on section of casing pipe is properly axially aligned, then conventional power tongs are utilized to rotate the same, thereby threading the add-on section into the upper end of the casing being supported in the aforesaid slips. However, the stabbing operation for adding on a section of casing pipe is much more critical than with other types of pipe, as for example, conventional drill pipe. This arises out of the fact that casing pipe have a different type thread configuration, with the result that axial alignment is more important in performing the casing stabbing operation.
Heretofore, the add-on section of the casing pipe has been manipulated by an observer positioned on the derrick floor. However, an operator so located is not in the best position for observing the proper axial alignment and performing other required manipulative steps. As a result, there have been developed what are called casing stabbing platforms, which are suspended on wirelines held within the derrick, such that an operator supported thereon can be raised above the derrick floor to obtain a better view of the stabbing operation and thereby direct such operations from such vantage point. In certain instances, apparatus of the aforesaid type permit the operator to manually apply the proper lateral forces to the add-on section to perfect the axial alignment while the add-on section is actually being supported by a conventional elevator or sling. However, these type of prior art devices are not fully satisfactory for the reason that such platforms are not very stable; the operator is not situated proximate to not very stable; the operator is not situated proximate to the add-on section at all times; and such operator cannot control the axial stabbing operation in most instances. Moreover, in those instances where the operator must physically apply lateral forces to the add-on section, great manual effort is required in certain instances, which is not very satisfactory.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an improved casing stabbing apparatus which will overcome the aforesaid problems.
Briefly stated, this invention is for a casing stabbing apparatus for running casing pipe into a well bore. It includes, in combination, a casing handling head for grasping a generally upright section of casing pipe. The head is controllably movable along two intersecting horizontal axes extending over the well bore. The casing head is also movable vertically along a vertical axis. The invention includes a platform attached to the head for movement therewith. The platform is adapted for supporting an operator thereon. In addition, the platform has mounted thereon control means for operating the aforesaid casing head, whereby an operator supported on the platform can visually observe and guide the stabbing section of casing pipe and thereafter release the same by operating the control means.
In certain instances, the apparatus may include a second casing head adapted to grasp the pipe at a point spaced below the first casing head to further facilitate manipulation thereof and which lower head is also controllable by control means mounted on the platform.
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of an oil well derrick showing the apparatus of this invention mounted therein.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the operator platform portion of this invention.
FIG. 3 is generally a cross-sectional view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view similar to FIG. 3 but showing an alternate embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the numeral 11 generally designates a derrick having four derrick legs 12 mounted on and extending upwardly from a deck 13. Deck 13 has mounted thereon conventional draw-works 14 for operating various portions of the drilling apparatus, including traveling block 15 shown supported in Derrick 11. Traveling block 15 is shown having supported thereon and depending therefrom elevator 16 of the type for engaging and lifting a string of casing pipe. Elevator 16 has attached thereto and depending therefrom an upper wireline sling 28 and lower wireline sling 29 which are of conventional design and which are arranged for latching about the end of a section of pipe such as casing pipe, whereby such pipe can be lifted into position into derrick 11 by upward movement of traveling block 15, as will be described hereinafter.
Block 15 is shown arranged for movement to and from the central position shown by means of hook block retractor assembly 17 which is of the general type shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,507,405. Assembly 17 is connected to a guide track 18 also supported in derrick 11 with the lower end thereof positioned generally vertically over a rat-hole 19 provided in deck 13. Rat-hole 19 is shown having supported therein a portion of the drilling apparatus which is then not in use and including kelly 20 which has attached to the upper end thereof a convention swivel 21.
Deck 13 also has mounted thereon a pipe rack base 24 shown having supported thereon a stand of drill pipe 25 which is held in the retracted position by finger board 26 of the type shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,768,663 and 3,561,811, for example.
Derrick 11 has mounted therein an upper racker assembly 30, an intermediate pipe racker assembly 31 and a lower pipe racker assembly 32. Racker assemblies 30, 31 and 32 are substantially identical with and operate in the same manner as racker assemblies 51, 52 and 62 shown and taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,561,811. By way of further explanation, upper assembly 30 includes a horizontal carriage track 35 extending horizontally or laterally between the derrick legs 12 shown on the right hand side of FIG. 1. Track 35 has supported therein for lateral movement thereon upper carriage 36 which supports a laterally extending guide 37 and which is mounted for axial movement therein upper arm 38 having a racking head 39 on the radially inward end thereof. Head 39 has a hydraulically actuated latch for grasping a piece of pipe and moving the same laterally within derrick 11, as desired. Lower rack assembly 32 is substantially similar to upper racker assembly 30 and includes a horizontal track 41 which extends between derrick legs 12 on the right side of the derrick 11 as shown in FIG. 1. Track 41 has mounted thereon for lateral or horizontal traverse thereon carriage 42 which has attached therewith laterally extending guide 43 in which has mounted for axial movement therein lower arm 44, the radially inward end of which has attached thereto racking head 45 which is similar to racking head 39.
Intermediate racker assembly 31 also includes a carriage track 50 which extends between two derrick legs 12 in the same manner as racker assemblies 30 and 32 and on which is mounted a carriage 51 for lateral or horizontal traverse thereon. Carriage 31 supports a guide 52 in which is mounted for axial movement therein arm 53. The radially inward end of arm 53 is rigidly attached to a generally vertically extending head support 54 on which is mounted casing handling head 55 for vertical movement thereon. Hence, it may be said that casing handling head 55 is controllably movable along two intersecting horizontally axes extending over the well bore in which the casing is to be positioned, as will be described hereinafter. This arises out of the fact that arm 53 is movable relative to guide 52 along one axis and carriage 51 is movable on track 50 along another axis. Further, it may be said that casing handling head 55 is movable along a vertical axis by virtue of the fact that the head 55 is movable on and relative to head support 54, as will be discussed hereinafter and as shown in the aforesaid U.S. Patent.
Casing handling head 55 is movable on head support 54 by operation of hydraulic lift cylinder assembly 58, the piston of which is attached to wireline 59 shown passing over sheave 60 attached in derrick 11 and having the other end thereof attached to cylinder head 55. Hence, upon operation of lift cylinder assembly 58, casing handling head 55 can be caused to move up and down on head support 54. Head support 54 has mounted on the upper end thereof guide roller 61 which is arranged to engage line 59 when the angle of incident therebetween increases sufficiently that line 59 would otherwise be interfered with by head support 54.
In FIG. 1, casing handling head 55 and head 45 are both shown engaged with a section of casing pipe 63 and holding the same against lateral movement thereof at a point in time immediately after the lower pin end of pipe 63 had been stabbed into the box end of casing string 64 shown supported in spider 65 mounted on bearing plate 66 which, in turn, is mounted on the conventional rotary. Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, in particular, additional details of the apparatus will be described. In FIG. 2 it will be noted that head support 54 is comprised of two opposed channel members 72 forming a track which is arranged for engaging four rollers 73 which are attached to bearing block 74 by appropriate axles. Bearing block 74 has attached therewith support plate 75 which, in turn, has rigidly attached therewith casing handling head 55 previously identified. Head 55 includes a hydraulically actuated latch 78 which is arranged for opening and closing by a double acting hydraulic cylinder, as is well known to those skilled in the art, such that the same can be latched around and subsequently released from a section of pipe, such as casing pipe 63. It will also be observed in FIG. 2 that line 59 is connected to head 55 by means of lug 79 and connecting clevis 80.
The operator platform of this invention is generally designated by the numeral 82 and includes a metal grate floor 83 surrounded by lower cross members 84 to which are attached an intermediate length angle upright 85 on one corner and a pair of longer angle uprights 86 on the opposite side. The other corner of platform 82 has formed therein an upright U-shaped channel 90 which supports a pair of upper rollers 91, a pair of intermediate rollers 92, and a pair of lower rollers 93 which are arranged for abutment against the side of head support 54.
Platform 82 includes four intermediate cross-members 94 which are attached between uprights 85, 86 and channel member 90 to form an enclosure to protect an operator who may be positioned on floor 83. In addition, platform 82 also includes an upper cross-member 95 between uprights 86 and other crossmember 96 extending between channel 90 and the adjacent upright 86, as shown.
Platform 82 is removably attached to casing handling head 55 by means of an attaching plate 98 having a plurality of bolt holes therethrough in which are mounted appropriate bolts 99 extending into the housing portion of head 55. Plate 98 is attached to the adjacent member 94 and an auxiliary or additional cross-member 100 to give rigid support to platform 82. Upon movement of head 55, either in a horizontal plane or in a vertical direction, platform 82 moves therewith. Hence, an operator mounted on platform 82 will always be in position adjacent to casing head 55 so as to carry out certain manipulative steps which are described hereinafter.
Platform 82 has mounted thereon control means for operating head 55, and these control means take the form of horizontal control lever 104, latch control lever 105, and vertical control lever 106, all of which are mounted on attaching plate 98. Control levers 104, 105 and 106 are of conventional design and are connected to appropriate hydraulic control systems as is well known to those skilled in the art, such that horizontal control lever 104 controls movement of arm 53 and head 55 in a horizontal plane extending over the well bore. Control lever 105 controls opening and closing of latch 78, and control lever 106 controls operation of cylinder assembly 58 to thereby move head 55 up and down relative to head support 54, as discussed above.
During the running of casing pipe into a well bore, traveling block 15 is normally lowered until the lower end of upper sling 28 can be attached to a length of casing pipe which had been positioned on the pipe ramp adjacent to deck 13, and the lower end of lower sling 29 attached to the end of another section of casing pipe which is positioned on the horizontal pipe rack. Thereafter, traveling block 15 is raised upwardly, thereby drawing or raising a section of casing pipe, such as pipe 63, to a generally upright position in derrick 11 and at the same time drawing or pulling the other section of casing pipe to the pipe ramp. With upper sling 28 supporting the section of casing pipe, such as pipe 63, an operator such as operator 102 positioned on platform 82 causes casing handling head 55 to move to and be clamped around casing pipe 63 as shown in FIG. 1. It is to be understood that latch 78 will normally not be sufficiently strong to support the weight of casing pipe 63, but is sufficiently strong to move the same laterally in derrick 11. With casing pipe 63 thus grasped or engaged, operator 102 can visually observe the axial alignment of casing pipe 63 and by controlling horizontal movement of head 55, guide the pipe into the stabbing position shown in FIG. 1, while pipe 63 is lowered by lowering block 15. Operation of conventional pipe tongs then completes the makeup of casing pipe 63 with casing string 64. When thus made up, operator 102 is conveniently positioned for disengaging sling 28 and re-engaging elevator 16 with the upper end of casing pipe 63, which then forms a part of the casing string 64 for subsequent lowering of the same into the well bore, whereupon the operation described above can be repeated. Since platform 82 is movable vertically, operator 102 can readily position himself to perform various manipulative functions, such as latching and unlatching elevator 16 and unlatching sling 28, as the need arises.
In certain embodiments of the invention, platform 82 may also be provided with an additional control lever (not shown) which will operate lower head 85 which would otherwise normally be operated by an operator on deck 13, for example. In this instance, operator 102 would have complete control over the alignment procedure during the stabbing operation.
The invention provides an apparatus which permits an operator to be positioned in a location where he can carry out or assist in the stabbing operation from a vantage point which permits the stabbing operation to be made more accurately, conveniently and with less time involved. Moreover, the apparatus of this invention permits the positioning of the operator to carry out additional activities as described above, as for example, operation of the elevators, the sling and the like. Further, the apparatus provides a stable platform for supporting the operator.
Referring now to FIG. 4, an alternative embodiment of the apparatus will be described. The apparatus there shown is identical with that previously described, except that an adaptor plate 110 is shown mounted over attaching plate 98, the purpose of which is to accommodate larger size casing pipe than can normally be operated by the conventional head 55. Adaptor plate 110 is attached to plate 98 by appropriate bolts and the outward end thereof is formed with a U-shaped recess 111 therein, sized for accommodation of a larger sized casing pipe such as pipe 112. Pipe 112 is retainted in recess 111 by means of a retainer chain 114 which is attached permanently at one end to one side of adapter plate 110, with the other end of retainer chain 114 having a chain latch 115 which is arranged for removable attachment to the other side of adapter plate 110, as shown in FIG. 4. Because of the proximate position of platform of platform 82, an operator positioned thereon can readily operate chain latch 115 to uncouple chain 114 when a stabbing operation is completed. With the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the operational sequences are the same as described with the prior embodiment, except with respect to the latching and unlatching of retainer chain 114 for securing pipe 112 to head 55, rather than the operation of latch 78.

If You're Hoppy by April Pulley Sayre, Jackie Urbanovic | | 9780061566349 | Hardcover | Barnes & Noble
Are you feeling hoppy?Hop hop hop.Like a rabbit?Or a kangaroo?Or a frog?If the answer is yes,this book will make you happy.If the answer is no,this book will make you hoppyandhappy!See more details below
Are you feeling hoppy?Hop hop hop.Like a rabbit?Or a kangaroo?Or a frog?If the answer is yes,this book will make you happy.If the answer is no,this book will make you hoppyandhappy!
Every child knows the song "If You're Happy and You Know It." This fun book is based on the popular ditty but with a delightful twist. Instead of responding with a clap or a stomp, children who hear this read-aloud story will want to chime in with the sounds of the animals that hop, growl, flap and slop. There are plenty of animals to choose from in each category, which will doubtlessly result in a chorus of sounds and a stampede of movements during story time. One part that will elicit a robust and guttural response is "If you're growly and you know it, you're a dog. Or... a bear!" and arms will flap wildly to "If you're flappy and you know it, swing your wings to really show it." Toward the end is an admonition that if you're "slimy and scaly and mean, just never mind." This is sure to encourage every last child to get into the act. The illustrations are bold and comical, featuring bears, baboons, monkeys, dogs, kangaroos, raccoons, butterflies and even a pterodactyl. The last pages feature a joyful frog saying how happy he is to hop with the reader, but it's an odd ending that doesn't flow from the rest of the story. Reviewer: Michele C. Hughes
PreS-Gr 1—In this fresh spin on a favorite song, "If you're hoppy and you know it, you're...a frog." Or perhaps you are "a bunny. Or a cricket." On the other hand, "If you're growly and you know it, you're a dog. Or a bear. OR—A TUMMY, OVER THERE!" The page turns are perfectly timed for dramatic flair. Young listeners won't be able to resist the many invitations to "stretch your toes," "make a sound," and "swing your wings." Urbanovic's sprightly watercolor-and-ink cartoons add humor and vivacious energy. A small frog joins in all the actions and in a shadow cast by a flashlight he offers up another verse: "If you're slimy and scaly and mean, you're a...oh never mind." Sure to be a storytime staple, with many requests for repeat performances.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada

Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Your New Job Title Is "Accomplice": A Dilbert Book
5.0 out of 5 starsAt his usual best
ByTrelliganon May 26, 2013
You would think after this many books and cartoons about the business world, the pickings would get a little thin.
Scott Adams still finds new ways for businesspeople to embarrass themselves and entertain us. He rings the changes on the main characters' peculiarities, and manages to show them from yet another viewpoint again and again.
When he stops coming up with new stuff, I'll stop buying his books. I'm budgeted out for at least two more decades. Keep 'em coming!
2.0 out of 5 starsDifficult to read on a Kindle
ByKrishnamoorthy Balaramanon October 12, 2013
My review is not about the content. The content is classic Scott Adams and is bound to entertain anyone working in an office environment. I was, however, dissatisfied with the kindle edition of this book. Each page displays three strips. This is too much content for the kindle (wifi model). I expected the kindle edition of the book to have been authored with "panels" that would display one strip on each page.
5.0 out of 5 starsI'm not sure how Adams can be so consistently hilarious and spot-on
This collection contains new stuff and is not a "themed rehash" of previous materials. I swear, Scott Adams is hiding somewhere in my office and spying on me to get materials for his stuff - and probably everyone who ever worked in an office (especially with a marketing department) feels the same way. When I read his books, I am stunned at how he can consistently pull off "winners" almost every time, every strip. Comments or concepts that have not yet been lampooned, insanely clever dialogue, lethal puns, and chokingly funny punchlines. I actually required one of his books once for a course I taught. I wish he came out with one of these a month. I always have such a sinking sense of disappointment when I come to the end of his books and have to wait several months for the next one.
4.0 out of 5 starsDilbert...it's still Dilbert!
ByMark S. Shaskey Jr.on September 8, 2013
I've got collections upon collections of Dilbert books, Scott Adams books and even have seen all the TV show and played some of the old PC games. After all these years, I'll admit I'm pleased with the consistency of these books. This one is no exception, if you like and have read enough of these, the collection is a worthwhile addition. There's some hits, there's some misses but you'll be happy with the collection as Scott Adams still keeps his finger on the pulse of the modern office.
5.0 out of 5 starsEnjoyable & entertaining
ByRenyon February 7, 2014
Loved this book. I've always loved this comic strip since first seeing it in the paper. I got this for my 1st gen KF during a discount special. The full price of $7.69 seems reasonable too. This is very well formatted for ease of reading. The Sunday panels are best seen in portrait and the rest in landscape. The best aspect of this collection is getting to read strip after strip because once I start laughing, I can only laugh harder at the next one. I will get more books in the future.
ByStuart M. Mulneon June 20, 2014
Hadn't seen these before that I can remember.
I forget the cost, but it was more than worth it.
I tend to forget what I've seen over the years (I've been reading Dilbert for years), so these compilations always seem new. But if I'd seen 'em yesterday, that'd be good, too.
ByJJ. Robertoon February 24, 2018
I love Dilbert, very funny stuff.
ByMatton December 24, 2017
Funny. Worth it for the laughs.
5.0 out of 5 starsWhat can I say, the doggone book is true to the insanity of corporate life.
ByDavid Ecaleon October 26, 2013
Charles Lamb, a 19th century essayist, complained bitterly about the insanity of corporate life & bureaucracy. It hasn't changed in the last 150 years! I've been in meetings where some of the insane stuff listed in this book really happened. One of my old managers had the habit of keeping us all in a staff meeting on a Friday afternoon until after 5:00 PM. His last bit of brainstorming, time wasting, feats was to have us provide raw ideas. He'd start the conversation with the phrase, "Toss Up. ..." ... Some time later in the session as he restated this command, a co-worker stated soc-co-voco, "I think I will. ...".
5.0 out of 5 starsIt's Dilbert so it's great
Bymystery reader from schenectadyon June 8, 2016
One of the funniest compilations, worth the money just for the title. Anyone who ever worked in a tech office (or maybe any office?) will enjoy the moral dilemmas.

US 5248466 AAbstract
Cast stone for architectural use is made by subjecting a mixture of aggregate and Portland cement in a mold to repeated dropping against an anvil, and thereafter applying a vertical pressure to the contents of the mold while applying repeated mechanical blows to a table on which the mold is situated.

Description
This invention relates generally to processes and apparatus for casting non-metallic articles. The invention relates particularly to improvements in the production of an architectural building material known as "cast stone", and more particularly to an improved method and apparatus whereby cast stone can be produced more quickly, efficiently and inexpensively than was possible in the past.
Cast stone is an artificial stone made by molding a mixture of portland cement and aggregates. It resembles natural cut building stone, and is widely used for window sills, parapet coping, and trim bands of brick buildings, and in many other architectural applications, both indoor and outdoor.
Cast stone is characterized by a high compressive strength and low water absorption. Among the important advantages of cast stone over natural cut stone is that cast stone can be molded in both simple and complex shapes, and in any desired size. It also has the advantage that, by the incorporation of coloring material and appropriate coarse aggregates, the molded product can be provided in any desired color. For example, cast stone can be made to resemble natural limestone in various shades including white and pink, brownstone, white or gray granite, sandstone, and black slate.
Conventional concrete blocks are machine produced by molding a semi-dry concrete mixture using a vibration-under-pressure process. Precast concrete is produced by molding a wet concrete mixture.
Unlike conventional concrete blocks and precast concrete, cast stone has been made by a so-called "dry tamp" process in which the mixture of portland cement and aggregates is introduced into a mold along with only enough water to achieve an "earth moist" condition. While in the mold, the mixture is subjected to vibratory tamping by means of a hand-held tamping instrument. The dry tamp process is labor-intensive and time consuming.
Cast stone has also been made by a process in which a wet mixture is placed in a mold, which is then physically dropped or vibrated so that the inertia of the wet mixture in the mold eliminates voids. The wet mixture can take up to a full day to harden before it can be released from the mold without slumping. This process, therefore, is very time consuming.
The principal object of this invention is to provide an improved molding process for producing cast stone, by which a high quality product can be produced more quickly and less expensively.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple, efficient and easily used apparatus for carrying out the molding process.
In accordance with the invention, cast stone is made from a concrete mixture comprising an aggregate and Portland cement by a jolt-squeeze process resembling the process in which sand is packed in a mold box in a foundry operation. The jolt squeeze apparatus used in accordance with the invention resembles the jolt squeeze mechanisms described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,385,347 dated May 28, 1968, 3,443,626, dated May 13, 1969 and 3,658,118, dated Apr. 25, 1972.
In the jolt-squeeze process of the invention, the aggregate-Portland cement mixture is repeatedly jolted by dropping the mold, and pressure is then applied to the surface of the mixture. More specifically, the process comprises the following steps. The concrete mixture is introduced into a mold box having a bottom wall and side walls extending upward from the bottom wall, the bottom wall and side walls serving to contain said concrete mixture against gravity-induced flow outward from the mold box. The mold box is then repeatedly subjected to alternate upward and downward movements, each downward movement being stopped by subjecting the mold box to an upwardly directed acceleration the magnitude of which substantially exceeds the maximum magnitude of acceleration of the mold box during other portions of its upward and downward movements. The upwardly directed acceleration can be achieved by causing the mold box to engage an anvil at the end of each downward movement. Downward pressure is thereafter applied to the top surface of the concrete mixture in the mold box, so that the concrete mixture is formed into a solid molded body conforming in shape to the interior of the mold box. Finally the solid molded body is removed from the mold box.
To achieve optimum results in terms of product density and quality, a jolt-squeeze-vibrate process is used. In this process, the repeated lifting and dropping and squeezing operations are carried out as described above. In addition, during the application of downward pressure, the mold box is subjected to a series of rapidly repeated upward mechanical blows.
FIG. 1 is an exploded, partially broken-away, perspective view showing a typical mold box and support in accordance with the invention, with a press board and platen used to apply downward pressure to the contents of the mold box;
FIG. 2 is a schematic elevational view, partly in section, of a mechanism for carrying out the jolt-squeeze-vibrate operations on the mold box; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic top plan view, partly in section, showing the jolt-squeeze-vibrate mechanism together with a mold box filling and conveying mechanism.
FIG. 1 shows a mold box support comprising a metal bottom plate 10 having parallel side walls 12 and 14. Between the side walls, there is held a U-shaped wooden mold box 16 having its ends closed by metal end plates 18 and 20. These end plates are held in place by clamps 22 schematically shown in slots 24.
The mold box contains a mixture 26 of portland cement and aggregate, together with a small quantity of water, sufficient to give the mixture an "earth moist" consistency. The mixture preferably utilizes approximately three parts of fine concrete aggregates to one part of Portland cement. The ratio can be varied up to 6:1. A wooden press board 28 is shown on top of the mixture in the mold box. The horizontal length and width of the press board are chosen so that it closely fits the mold box. The vertical thickness of the press board is chosen so that, when it is initially placed in the mold box, it extends upward beyond the upper edges of side walls 12 and 14 by a distance equal to the desired compression stroke. Platen 30, which acts against the top surface of the press board, is supported in a fixed position by a stem 32, which is in turn supported on a head affixed to the frame of a jolt-squeeze-vibrate mechanism (not shown in FIG. 1). The jolt-squeeze-vibrate mechanism presses the mold box support upward. When this occurs, platen 30 pushes the press board into the mold box until the bottom surface of the platen contacts the upper edges of side walls 12 and 14. Thus, the extent to which the contents of the mold box are compressed is controlled by the vertical thickness of the press board.
The jolt-squeeze-vibrate mechanism is shown in FIG. 2. The mechanism comprises a table 34, on which the mold box support 10 (not shown in FIG. 2) is held during the jolt, squeeze and vibrate operations. Table 34 has affixed to it two downwardly projecting guide pins 36 and 38, which are slidable in passages provided on the outside of an outer cylinder 40 on base 42.
A large diameter squeeze piston 44, typically twenty four inches in diameter, is vertically slidable in outer cylinder 40, and moves upward under the force of compressed air delivered to chamber 46 underneath piston 44 through an air passage (not shown). The stroke of the squeeze piston is typically eight inches.
Table 34 is shown resting on a rim 48 at the top of piston 44. The table is vertically separable from the piston. Guide pins 50 and 52, fixed to the table, extend into holes formed in rim 48 to insure that the table and piston 44 remain in alignment.
Squeeze piston 44 is hollow and contains a jolt and vibrate cylinder 54, which is vertically slidable within piston 44. The flange 56 of a large guide pin 58 is fixed to the bottom of cylinder 54. The guide pin is slidable in a bore 60 in the bottom of squeeze piston 44, and a seal (not shown) is provided between pin 58 and bore 60. It will be apparent, therefore, that air pressure applied to chamber 46 underneath piston 44 raises piston 44 relative to cylinder 40, and also raises cylinder 54 within piston 44. Because the diameter of pin 58 is much less than the diameter of squeeze piston 44, it is possible for cylinder 54 to be pushed downward while the squeeze piston is raised.
A piston 62, formed as an integral part of table 34, extends downward into bore 64 of cylinder 54. This bore is typically eleven inches in diameter. Sealing rings (not shown) are provided between piston 62 and bore 64. Compressed air, introduced into chamber 66 below piston 64 through a passage (not shown) causes the table to move upward relative to cylinder 54. A wear ring 68 is provided on the top surface of cylinder 54 for engagement with the underside of table 34.
As shown in FIG. 2, platen 30 is supported horizontally above table 34 by platen support stem 32. Stem 32 is affixed to a head 70 on a frame 72, which is fixed to base 42. The vertical position at which platen 30 is held can be adjusted by moving stem 32 in head 70 and locking the stem to the head by pin 76. Pin 76 can extend through any one of a series of vertically spaced, horizontally extending holes (not shown) in stem 32.
A preferred jolt-squeeze-vibrate mechanism is the so-called "PVKL molding machine", used for foundry molding, and available from International Molding Machine Co. of 1201 North Barnsdale Road, LaGrange Park, Ill. 60525.
FIG. 3 shows the several stages in the molding operation. In the first stage, the mold box, including the wooden mold, is positioned underneath a chute 78, which is part of a weighing mechanism for dispensing a measured amount of the concrete mixture into the mold. The mold box rests on rollers 80. When filled, it is pushed into position above table 34 by a reciprocating shuttle 82 driven by chain 84. When in position, the mold box is lowered onto the table by a draw mechanism, which has been omitted from the illustration for simplicity. The shuttle carries a fluid-driven actuator 86 having a piston 88 for pushing the wooden mold and the finished cast stone out of the mold box onto a conveyor 90 comprising rollers 92. A pushing mechanism 94 pushes the casting and mold laterally off the conveyor onto a turn-over platform 96, which deposits the casting and mold, upside-down, on a delivery platform 98. The wooden mold can then be removed and returned to the mixture dispensing station for reuse.
In the operation of the apparatus described above, the mold box, with a U-shaped wooden mold closed at its ends by metal end plates 18 and 20, is positioned underneath chute 78. A measured amount of a mixture of Portland cement and aggregate is dispensed into the mold, and the mold is then transported by the shuttle to a location above table 34, and lowered onto the table. The shuttle is then withdrawn.
At this time, squeeze piston 44 remains in its lowermost position, as shown in FIG. 2. Jolting is initiated by introducing compressed air into chamber 66, causing piston 62 to rise in bore 64 of cylinder 54. Table 34 separates from rim 48 of squeeze piston 44. Air is then suddenly released from chamber 66, allowing table 34 to fall against the rim of the squeeze piston. The rim acts as an anvil, so that the downward movement of the table stops suddenly, i.e. the table is subjected to a high acceleration, the vector of which is directed upward. By inertia, the contents of the mold tend to continue to move downward, and are therefore compacted. By repeating the upward and downward movement of table 34, voids in the mixture in the mold are eliminated.
The cycle of upward and downward movements of the table is repeated at a rate between approximately 0.5 and 5 times per second, preferably at a rate of approximately 1.5 times per second. The stroke of the upward and downward movement of the table is preferably approximately 3 inches, but can be longer, or as short as approximately 0.5 inch. The cycle is repeated over a jolting interval between approximately 3 and 30 seconds, preferably approximately 12 seconds.
Following the jolting interval, a squeezing operation takes place. Press board 28 (FIG. 1) is inserted into the mold on the surface of the concrete mixture 26. The press board extends above the top edges of mold box support side walls 12 and 14 by a distance equal to the extent to which the mold contents are to be squeezed. Compressed air is introduced into chamber 46. The compressed air first acts against guide pin 58, causing the guide pin to push up against cylinder 54 until wear ring 68 engages the underside of table 34. The continued introduction of compressed air into chamber 46 causes piston 44 to rise in cylinder 40 so that press board 28 engages the underside of platen 30. The press board is then pushed into the mold until platen 30 is engaged by the upper edges of mold box side walls 12 and 14.
By choosing the appropriate thickness for the press board in relation to the depth of the mixture in the mold box, the pressure applied to the mixture can be controlled. The pressure is in the range of approximately 20 to 500 p.s.i., and preferably in the range of approximately 90 to 120 p.s.i.
Pressure is typically applied to the mixture over an interval from 5 to 60 seconds, during which upward blows are applied to the underside of table 34 repeatedly at a rate from 1 to 85 blows per second. Preferably the blows are applied over an interval of approximately 20 seconds at a rate of approximately 1.5 blows per second. The upward blows are achieved by applying air pressure to, and suddenly releasing air from, chamber 66 below piston 62. With table 34 in the raised condition, and with cylinder 54 pressed upward so that wear ring 68 engages the underside of the table, air pressure in chamber 66 urges guide pin 58 downward so that the wear ring separates from the table. When the air pressure in chamber 66 is suddenly released, the air pressure in chamber 46 pushes upward on pin 58, causing cylinder 54 to move upward so that wear ring 68 sharply engages the underside of table 34. By repeating the application and release of air to and from chamber 66, cylinder 54 applies repeated mechanical blows to the underside of table 34. These mechanical blows move the particles in the mixture so that they are able to be compacted by the pressure applied by platen 30 through press board 28.
Following the application of pressure and repeated mechanical blows, end plates 18 and 20 are removed from the mold, and piston 88 of actuator 86 is extended to push the wooden mold and the casting onto roller conveyor 90. The mold and casting are then pushed laterally onto platform 96 by pushing mechanism 94. Platform 96 then rotates about a horizontal axis to deposit the casting and mold upside-down onto delivery platform 98, where the wooden mold can be removed and returned to the mixture dispensing station for reuse. During the removal of the casting from the wooden mold, the mold box will have been returned to the dispensing station and another wooden mold installed in it so that the new mold can be filled and moved promptly to the jolt-squeeze mechanism.
The finished product is a dense and durable casting having a compressive strength from 3000 to 10,000 p.s.i. It can be made in any desired shape, and most advantageously, the entire molding operation, from start to finish requires only three to four minutes, in comparison with the approximately twenty or more minutes required to produce stone castings using prior methods.
Various modifications can be made to the apparatus and method described. For example, the downward movement of the jolt-squeeze table can be accelerated by a gas-operated piston. Mold boxes can be recirculated through the jolt-squeeze mechanism by a recirculating conveyor. In this way, as one mold box is being opened for removal of the cast stone, another can be assembled, filled and moved into the jolt-squeeze mechanism to maximize the rate of production.
