Abstract
A mechanical assembly for pulling the form work away from a structure. The form puller assembly includes a lever assembly, a fulcrum assembly, and a form pulling assembly. The user pulls down on the opposite end of the lever assembly generating a mechanical force sufficient to free the form work from the concrete structure. The present invention also provides at least one embedded element extracting assembly for removing elements embedded in the soil and/or substrate.
Claims10
An extraction assembly for engaging an embedded element, said extraction assembly comprising a body component for engaging the embedded element, and an attachment component for connecting the body component to a hoisting device;
- wherein the hoisting device may be used to deliver an upward force of sufficient magnitude to exfract the embedded element via the extraction assembly;
- wherein the body component of the extraction assembly comprises a hole formed therein for fitting around the embedded element;
- said hole having a diameter larger than the diameter of the embedded element.
An extraction assembly for engaging an embedded element, said extraction assembly comprising a body component for engaging the embedded element, and an attachment component for connecting the body component to a hoisting device;
- wherein the hoisting device may be used to deliver an upward force of sufficient magnitude to extract the embedded element via the extraction assembly wherein the body component of the embedded element extraction assembly comprises a wedge-shaped recess for receiving the embedded element.
