Abstract
Embodiments of the Concrete Form include a form tube, chamfer disk, and one or more cross-members. The cross-members are comprised of a center pivot aperture, two bolt guides, which are formed by the cross-members, end clamps, and an optional clamp. The chamfer disk is a disk that sits atop of the form tube and forms side chamfers in positive relief when placed upon the form tube when the concrete cures. The optional conduit clamp can be used to hold any conduit, tube or any other item during the pour. In another embodiment of the Concrete Form is comprised of a form tube, chamfer disk, end clamps, four or more bottom slide arms, and four or more top slide arms.
Claims7
A concrete form comprised of
- a form tube,
- a chamfer disk comprising a ring-shaped disk comprising a chamfer that is either blunt or curved and is formed in positive relief under the ring of the chamfer disk,
- one or more form cross-members manufactured from metal, metal alloy, or a polymeric material where the one or more form cross-members include a top and bottom cross-members,
- each cross-member forms one or more bolt guides that serve to maintain the position of anchor bolts as concrete is cured;
- wherein the bolt guides are formed by the cross-member with two bolt slots or guides per arm,
- an optional conduit clamp wherein the conduit clamp is secured to one or more cross-members via a center pivot pin that passes through a center pivot aperture,
- each cross-member will have a center disk that will allow top and bottom cross-members to be locked together with the use of a bolt, pin, grove or fasteners through a center pivot point,
- each cross-member will have a form, one or more bolt guides that serve to maintain the position of anchor bolts as the concrete cures, and a disk that will allow the cross-members to be locked into place,
- one or more slide arms manufactured from metal, metal alloy, or polymeric material and are comprised of a bottom slide section, a top slide section, magnetic ends, and held together by holes and bolts,
- the one or more slide arms can be used along with a circular clamp to center pipe, or steel, in a center of a support;
- wherein the form cross-members are comprised of
- a center pivot,
- two bolt guides which are formed by the cross-members with or without pin hole disk, and
- one or more slide arm guides comprised of bottom slide arms that form two bolt holes, top slide arms, a magnet, and bolts that are held together by the circular clamp;
- wherein the chamfer disk is a disk that sits atop of the form tube where the chamfer disk forms side chamfers that when placed upon the form tube causes chamfers or to be formed in the concrete when it is poured;
- wherein the form cross-members are manufactured from steel and are approximately ¼ inch in thickness and approximately two inches wide.
