Abstract
A concrete form for holding a concrete product in place during a curing process with at least one side movable by a rotary driven power source and a actuator. A rotary power tool with a helical cutout combinable to a second adapter on the rotary driven power source to rotate the rotary driven power source to power the actuator and move the at least one side.
Claims15
A system for stripping concrete forms from a concrete product, the system comprising:
- a concrete form for holding a concrete product in place during a curing process, wherein the concrete form comprises of at least two sides movable with respect to the concrete product to separate the concrete form from the concrete product;
- an actuator combined to each of the at least two sides of the concrete form and connected in parallel each for moving simultaneously one side of the at least two sides with respect to the concrete product;
- and
- a power source combined to each actuator for driving each actuator for moving the at least two sides with respect to the concrete product.

- and
- a rotary driven power source combined to each actuator for driving each actuator for moving the at least two sides with respect to the concrete product.
A system for stripping concrete forms comprising at least one movable side from a concrete product, the system comprising:
- a first adapter combinable to a rotary power tool comprising an outer surface, an inner surface, a top surface normal to an axis of rotation connecting the outer surface and the inner surface, two opposing flat faces that are each perpendicular to the axis of rotation and extend axially downward from the top surface, and two helical cutouts each beginning at the bottom of a flat face of the two opposing flat faces and extending to the top surface;
- and
- a second adapter combinable to a rotary driven power source, wherein when the rotary driven power source is combined to an actuator, the rotary driven power source drives the actuator for moving the at least one movable side with respect to the concrete product.
