The invention relates to the technical problem of providing a simple, efficient and easily operable locking mechanism to releasably clamp the bottom ring to the lower edge of the outer mould in a casting mould for the production of concrete or similar pipes in an upright position. With this in view the locking mechanism comprises a radially slotted, resilient locking ring which by means of an opening and closing mechanism is movable between a locking position in which it engages beneath the outer edge portion of the bottom ring and seals said portion tightly against the lower edge of the outer mould, and a free position in which the inner diameter of the locking ring is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom ring so as to enable said locking ring to pass free of the bottom ring when the recently cast pipe is separated from the mould. |
