DEVICE FOR PLACING WIRE ROPE IN CHANNELS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SUPERSTRUCTURES OF BRIDGES WITH TENDONS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: civil engineering; bridge building. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to building of bridges, particularly to putting wire ropes under pressure into closed channels of reinforced- concrete superstructures of bridges with tendons. Proposed device for placing wire rope into channels of bridge superstructures is provided with wire rope pushing-through device. Novelty is that device is provided with housing with outlet port which accommodates wire rope pushing-through device and guide hinge-coupled with housing and provided with channel for placing wire rope and communicating with housing outlet port. It has also hood arranged from outside of guide and made movable axially relative to wire rope guide.
