Anchor bolt holder

A holder for a structural element to be partially embedded in a fixed position in concrete during pouring of concrete in a pre-erected form including form boards spaced apart, said holder comprising:

• a) a bifurcated body having a pair of normally divergent elongated side-by-side legs dimensioned to span the space between the spaced form boards for suspending the structural element therebetween;
• b) means connecting the legs at one end and enabling movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clamp and support the structural element disposed therebetween;
• c) a clip slidably mounted on at least one of said legs and including at least one notch positioned to engage said structural element when it is disposed between said legs and the legs are moved toward each other into clamping relationship.
• d) retention means including a pre-formed hole in each of said legs for removably securing the legs of the body in fixed spanning relation to said form boards and in clamping engagement with said structural element whereby said retention means including said pre-formed hole retains said holder normally fixed against significant movement relative to said form boards;
• and
• e) said means connecting the legs at said one end including a head integral with the legs and having a pre-formed hole extending through said head and said means for securing said body in spanning relation to said form boards includes a form board penetrating nail extending through said pre-formed hole in the head of said body and form board penetrating nails extending through said pre-formed holes in said legs.
