Abstract
Implementations of the of the present stripping corner may include a first forward surface, a second forward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface, a first rearward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface, a second rearward surface hingedly connected to the second forward surface, and an extender coupling the first rearward surface to the second rearward surface. The extender may be configured to receive an input torque about a first axis and may be configured to provide an output force along a second axis. The first axis may be substantially perpendicular to the second axis.
Claims20
A stripping corner comprising:
- a first forward surface;
- a second forward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface;
- a first rearward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface;
- a second rearward surface hingedly connected to the second forward surface;
- and
- an extender coupling the first rearward surface to the second rearward surface, the extender configured to receive an input torque about a first axis and configured to provide an output force along a second axis, the first axis being substantially perpendicular to the second axis.
A stripping corner comprising:
- a first forward surface;
- a second forward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface;
- a first rearward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface;
- a second rearward surface hingedly connected to the second forward surface;
- a first extender coupling the first rearward surface to the second rearward surface, the first extender configured to receive an input torque about a first axis and configured to provide an output force along a second axis, the first axis being substantially perpendicular to the second axis;
- and
- a second extender coupling the first rearward surface to the second rearward surface, the second extender configured to receive an input torque about the first axis and configured to provide an output force along the second axis.
A method for performing a pour process comprising:
- pouring a material into a formwork, wherein the formwork is at least partially secured by a stripping corner;
- curing the material;
- receiving an input torque at the stripping corner about a first axis;
- providing an output force along a second axis, the first axis being substantially perpendicular to the second axis.
A torquing mechanism comprising:
- a single torque input unit;
- and
- a plurality of torque output units that simultaneously actuate in response to actuation of the single torque input unit,
- wherein an amount of actuation and an angular displacement relative to a starting position of each of the plurality of torque output units is substantially equal.
