Abstract
A stop (1) for supporting a side of concrete form work (12) includes a deformable section (2) in the form of a collapsible sleeve (2) with an abutment (8). The sleeve is formed monolithically with the stop. A nail (13) with a head (13a) secures the stop (1) to a concrete structure or component (11) and when the nail (13) is driven its head (13a) runs up against the abutment (8). If energy in excess of the amount needed to drive the nail (13) in is present, the nail head (13a) striking the abutment (8) axially collapses the sleeve and damage to the stop (1) is avoided.

A stop (1) for concrete formwork (12) having a first end face spaced from a second end face and first direction extending from the first end face to the second end face, said stop (1) includes a passageway (3) extending in the first direction and having a first end and a second end extending transversely of the first direction with said first end located closer to the first end face of said stop (1) and forming an abutment (8), wherein the improvement comprises that said passageway (3) includes a tubular deformable section (2) extending in the first direction from said abutment (8), means forming an outer part laterally enclosing and spaced outwardly from said passageway, said deformable section (2) is formed monolithically with said means and said deformable section is deformable independently of said means.
A stop, (1) for concrete formwork (12), said stop (1) having a first end face spaced from a second end face and a first direction extending from the first end face to the second end face, said stop (1) includes a passageway (3) extending in the first direction and having a first end and a second end extending transversely of the first direction with said first end located closer to the first end face of said stop (1) and forming an abutment (8), wherein the improvement comprises that said passageway (3) includes a deformable section (2) extending in the first direction from said abutment (8), and said deformable section (2) is formed monolithically with said stop (1), said stop (1) comprises a jacket (6) extending in the first direction and spaced radially outwardly from said passageway (3), an annular base (5) extending transversely of the first direction between said passageway (3) and said jacket (6), and said passageway (3) comprising a hub-like inner part (4) extending in the first direction and said inner part (4) having a first end closer to the first end of said stop (1) and a second end closer to the second end of said stop (1), and said deformable section (2) extending from the first end of said inner part (4) toward and spaced from the first end of said stop (1).
