A concrete container for a food liquid, particularly for making and aging wine and spirits, includes a container body which exhibits symmetry of revolution. The body includes an interior wall delimiting the storage volume of the container, an external peripheral wall, a first body part and a second body part, which parts are superposed and assembled to close the body, each body part includes an assembly surface for assembly with the other body part. The assembly surfaces include at least: first assembly surfaces placed on the side of the interior wall, the first surfaces exhibiting profiles that mate with one another to ensure continuous contact between the first surfaces, and the first assembly surfaces being extended in the direction toward the outside of the container by second assembly surfaces configured to define between them an interior space that may or may not open onto said the external peripheral wall.

In an exemplary embodiment, a system for making tied block mat with a border includes a mold having an array of mold cavities; and a hopper that receives a hardenable paste and is spaced from the mold to receive a sheet of mesh material therebetween, the hopper having an opening for depositing the hardenable paste into selected mold cavities, the hopper forming a filling zone with the mold wherein the hardenable paste flows through the opening into the selected mold cavities, and a blocked zone where the hardenable paste is prevented from entering other selected mold cavities of the mold; whereby the tied block mat is formed wherein the hardenable paste in the selected mold cavities becomes embedded in the sheet of mesh material in the filling zone, and a border is formed in the blocked zone where the hardenable paste is blocked from entering the other selected mold cavities.

A barrier system is used to direct and block a travel path of pedestrians and vehicles. The barriers may be shaped substantially as a truncated pyramid with a base surface and planar sides extending from the edges of the base surface to a top portion, where the cross-sectional area of the base surface is larger than the cross-sectional area of the top portion. The angles of inclination between the planar sides and the interior of the base surface are acute angles. The bollard can be cast from heavy dense materials. The bollard includes at least two overhanging lips on the planar sides of the barrier between the base surface and the top portion. The configurations of the bollards provide improved placement, such as with cranes, hand carts, and other devices. Molds to cast the barriers and hand carts to move the barriers are also disclosed.

A concrete mold including a mold frame with a frame body and at least two rows of teeth formed on the frame body lying opposite one another and in each case facing a mold insert. The mold insert has an insert body and at least two rows of teeth arranged on the insert body lying opposite one another and in each case facing the mold frame. Recesses are in each case formed on the insert body between teeth of its rows of teeth, in which recesses teeth of the rows of teeth of the frame body in each case engage in the assembled state of the mold. Recesses are in each case formed on the frame body between the teeth of its rows of teeth, in which recesses the teeth of the rows of teeth of the insert body in each case engage in the assembled state of the mold.

The invention is directed to a process for producing a cured 3D product comprising the following steps: (a) providing a form negative mould of the 3D product comprising of one or two formed plastic sheets as obtained by thermoforming corresponding with the shape of the 3D product; (b) adding a liquid curable composition to the mould such that the inner surface of the mould is covered by the curable composition; and (c) solidifying the curable composition wherein a solidified layer or body is formed having the shape of the 3D product; wherein the cured 3D product is a radiation cured 3D product; and wherein the step (c) a radiation curable composition is solidified by radiation through the plastic sheet of the mould to form a solidified layer having the shape of the 3D product.

A system, kit, device, and method for generating pixelated modeling compound art is provided. The system or kit can include a modeling tool, a substrate, a plurality of modeling compounds, and optionally a leveler. The modeling tool may include one or more characteristics identifying specific distinct cells or portions of cells of the modeling tool that are associated with a specific modeling compound having a distinct characteristic, e.g., a color. The specified modeling compound may be pressed or inserted into apertures in the cells to provide a plurality of individual volumes of modeling compound deposited on the substrate. The modeling tool may be removed, leaving the pixelated modeling compound art present on the substrate.

A manufacturing method is provided. A preform is arranged over a surface of an inner mold line. The preform is folded over sides of the inner mold line. An end of the preform is pressed into a grip strip coupled to a side of the inner mold line. The grip strip is translated in a first direction to tension the preform into a shaped body.

A manufacturing method is disclosed herein. The method includes arranging a preform with a plurality of clamping assemblies, the plurality of clamping assemblies disposed along ends of the preform; and forming the preform into a shaped body, the forming including incrementally tensioning the preform around a surface of an inner mold line using the plurality of clamping assemblies; and drawing the preform into a set of forming beads of the inner mold line.

A barrier system is used to block a travel path. The barriers block and direct paths of vehicular and pedestrian travel. The barriers may be shaped substantially as a truncated pyramid with a base surface and planar sides extending from the edges of the base surface to a top portion, where the cross-sectional area of the base surface is larger than the cross-sectional area of the top portion. The angles of inclination between the planar sides and the interior of the base surface are acute angles. The bollard can be cast from heavy dense materials. The bollard includes at least two overhanging lips on the planar sides of the barrier between the base surface and the top portion. The configurations of the bollards provide improved placement, such as with cranes, hand carts, and other devices. Molds to cast the barriers and hand carts to move the barriers are also disclosed.
