Abstract
A device for the establishment of the proper location for the footings of a structure and a device for the proper placement of mounting bolts within a footing. The device is adjustable and can be set to varying heights to insure that all footings for the structure are of equal height, thereby providing a level foundation for the structure.
Claims6
A system for the placement of the footing fasteners within a given footing of a structure in the proper location with respect ot the footing fasteners in adjacent footings of said structure wherein said structure includes a support element extending between the footing fasteners of adjacent footings, comprising:
- a first device for positioning footing fasteners, with said device including a body having an elongated opening therethrough for receiving a reference member, said body including locking means for locking said device to said reference member at a predetermined position, and a plurality of support members fixed to said body, each said support member having an opening for receiving and thereby positioning a respective fastener, wherein the support members are designed to receive a first end of a support element of the structure, and
- a second device for positioning footing fasteners, with said device including a body having an elongated opening therethrough for receiving a reference member, said body including locking means for locking said device to said reference member at a predetermind position, and a plurality of support members fixed to said central member, each said support member having an opening for receiving and thereby positioning a respective fastener, wherein the support members are designed to receive the second end of a support element of the structure, thereby aligning said footing fasteners with respect to the support element and the adjacent footing.
A device for positioning footing fasteners with respect to a reference member of the footings comprising:
- an alignment member having an elongated opening therethrough for receiving said reference member and a rectangular tube fixed to said alignment member, said alignment member including locking means for locking said device to said reference member at a predetermined position;
- and
- a plurality of support members, fixed to said rectangular tube, each said support member having an opening for receiving and thereby positioning a respective fastener.
