Abstract
An outside bay adapter for a concrete forming structure. The adapter has a pair of elongated flat plates each of substantial length as compared to its width thereof. The plates are disposed in angular V-shaped relation to one another. The plates have a pair of confronting slots. The slots on the plates are transversely aligned with one another. Slotted wedge bolts are extended through the aligned slots and extend outwardly in diverging relation to one another adjacent opposite ends of the plates. A weldment is located at each end of the plates welding the slotted wedge bolts extended through the slots to the plates in unitary assembly together.

An outside bay adapter for a residential concrete forming structure comprising a pair of elongated flat plates each of substantial length as compared to its width thereof, the plates being disposed in angular V-shaped relation to one another, said plates having a pair of slots, the slots on the plates being transversely aligned with one another, slotted wedge bolts being arranged in diverging relation to one another and extended through the aligned slots and extending outwardly, a weldment welding the slotted wedge bolts extended through the slots to the plates in unitary assembly together, and a triangular plate having a pointed end extending between the flat plates holding the flat plates apart and in spaced relationship to one another.
An outside bay adapter for a residential concrete forming structure comprising a pair of elongated flat plates each of substantial length as compared to its width thereof, the plates being disposed in angular V-shaped relation to one another, said plates having a pair of slots, the slots on the plates being transversely aligned with one another, slotted wedge bolts being arranged in diverging relation to one another and extended through the aligned slots and extending outwardly, a weldment welding the slotted wedge bolts extended through the slots to the plates in unitary assembly together, the flat plates having inner corner edges positioned in gap relation, and a triangular plate having a corner extended into said gap and cooperating with said weldment to maintain said gap in a predetermined relation to said inner corner edges of said flat plates.
An outside bay adapter for a residential concrete forming structure comprising a pair of elongated flat plates each of substantial length as compared to its width thereof, the plates being disposed in angular V-shaped relation to one another, each plate having a pair of slots at opposite ends of the plate associated therewith, the slots on the plates at each end being transversely aligned with one another, a pair of triangular plate members positioned in immediate adjacency to the transversely aligned slots at the opposite ends of the plate members, slotted wedge bolts arranged as diverging pairs and extended through the aligned slots and extending outwardly in diverging relation to one another adjacent opposite ends of the plates, and a weldment at each end of the plates welding the slotted wedge bolts extended through the slots to the plates and to the triangular plate members in unitary assembly together, the triangular plate members each having a pointed end extending between the flat plates holding the flat plates apart and in spaced relationship to one another.
An outside bay adapter for a residential concrete forming structure comprising a pair of elongated flat plates each of substantial length as compared to its width thereof, the plates being disposed in angular V-shaped relation to one another, each plate having a pair of slots at opposite ends of the plate associated therewith, the slots on the plates at each end being transversely aligned with one another, a pair of triangular plate members positioned in immediate adjacency to the transversely aligned slots at the opposite ends of the plate members, slotted wedge bolts arranged as diverging pairs and extended through the aligned slots and extending outwardly in diverging relation to one another adjacent opposite ends of the plates, and a weldment at each end of the plates welding the slotted wedge bolts extended through the slots to the plates and to the triangular plate members in unitary assembly together, the flat plates having inner corner edges positioned in gap relation, the triangular plate members each having a corner extended into said gap and cooperating with said weldment to maintain said gap in a predetermined relation to said inner corner edges of said flat plates.
In a concrete forming structure for forming concrete walls where components thereof can be easily and quickly assembled on the job including a series of upright side-by-side positioned filler forming panels having a face sheet and I-beams secured thereto at margins of the face sheet with adjacent I-beams on adjacent panels co-acting to act as walers, the I-beams carrying vertically spaced slots, and with the panels being adapted to receive wedge bolts to be extended through aligned slots for securing the panels in assembly together, the improvement comprising outside bay adapters for spaced engagement with the I-beams for forming a corner between the side-by-side positioned forming panels, each adapter comprising a pair of elongated flat plates each of substantial length as compared to its width thereof, the plates being disposed in angular V-shaped relation to one another, each plate having a pair of plate slots at opposite ends of the plate associated therewith, the plate slots on the plates at each end being transversely aligned with one another, a pair of triangular plate members positioned in immediate adjacency to the transversely aligned plate slots at the opposite ends of the plates, slotted wedge bolts arranged as diverging pairs and extended through the aligned plate slots and extending outwardly in diverging relation to one another adjacent opposite ends of the plates for projection through the slots in the I-beams to secure the adapter thereto to form the corner between the panels when positioned to form a corner, and a weldment at each end of the plates welding the slotted wedge bolts extended through the plate slots to the plates and to the triangular plate members in unitary assembly together, the triangular plate members each having a pointed end extending between the flat plates holding the flat plates apart and in spaced relationship to one another.
