Abstract
An apparatus for interconnecting a pair of spaced-apart form panels includes a tie having opposing ends inserted through apertures in the panels, and retainer plates on each end to lock the panels in position. Each tie includes an elongated strap having an expanded lug at each end to prevent movement of the panel inwardly past the lug. A loop member is mounted on each lug which projects outwardly through the panel and which will receive the retainer plate to lock the panel in position on each end of the strap. The retainer plate has an aperture therethrough and a finger extending downwardly into the aperture. The retainer plate finger is journaled through the loop of the strap to lock the retainer plate onto the strap end to hold the form panel in position.

Apparatus for interconnecting a pair of spaced-apart form panels, comprising:
- an elongated strap having first and second opposite ends;
- stop means on said first and second ends, for preventing movement of said panels inwardly towards one another along said strap;
- wale receiving means on said first and second ends, extending outwardly from said stop means, for receiving a wale to prevent outward movement of panels on said first and second ends;
- said wale receiving means including an aperture formed in each said end;
- wale means removable connected to each said end through said apertures, for preventing movement of said panels outwardly;
- said wale receiving means including:
- a first loop having a pair of legs extending outwardly from said stop means on said first end, and a base portion connecting said pair of legs, to form a first aperture between said first loop legs, the first end stop means and the base portion;
- and
- a second loop having a pair of legs extending outwardly from said second end stop means, and a base portion connecting said pair of legs, to form a second aperture between said second loop legs, the second end stop means, and the second base portion.
Apparatus for interconnecting a pair of spaced-apart form panels, comprising:
- an elongated strap having first and second opposite ends;
- stop means on said first and second ends, for preventing movement of said panels inwardly towards one another along said strap;
- wale receiving means on said first and second ends, extending outwardly from said stop means, for receiving a wale to prevent outward movement of panels on said first and second ends;
- said wale receiving means including an aperture formed in each said end;
- wale means removably connected to each said end through said apertures, for preventing movement of said panels outwardly;
- said stop means including a first lug on the first end of said strap having a greater diameter than said strap, a second lug on the second end of said strap;
- said first loop legs extending outwardly from said first lug to form said first aperture;
- and
- said second loop legs extending outwardly from said second lug to form said second aperture.

- wale means removably connected to each said end through said apertures, for preventing movement of said panels outwardly;
- said wale means including:
- a retainer plate having an aperture therethrough through which a portion of said wale receiving means projects;
- and
- a rigid finger mounted on said plate and projecting downwardly into said aperture for removable connection to said projecting portion of said wale receiving means.
