Abstract
A universal anchor bolt template including a plate member having a square configuration. The plate member has planar upper and lower surfaces. The plate member has a plurality of apertures therethrough arranged in at least one group of four radial aperture lines. The apertures are spaced along each of the aperture lines in the group at corresponding distances, such that the use of corresponding apertures allows the anchoring bolts to be positioned in a square configuration with a selected center-to-center distance. Each of the apertures is surrounded by at least one concentric knock-out for allowing the apertures to be enlarged for the use of larger anchoring bolts than could be accommodated by the apertures.
Claims8
A universal anchor bolt template for allowing for the use of anchor bolts having different sizes, for placement within concrete in a square configuration at various selected center-to-center distances, comprising, in combination:
- a plate member having a square configuration having a center, the plate member having planar upper and lower surfaces, the plate member having a plurality of apertures therethrough, the plate member having at least one group of four radial aperture lines, the radial aperture lines formed by the apertures, wherein the apertures are consistently spaced along the radial aperture lines of the group, such that the apertures each form a square by with corresponding apertures on the other radial aperture lines of the group, wherein at least one concentric knock-out is located concentric with the aperture which may be selectively removed to enlarge the aperture to accommodate a larger diameter anchoring bolt than that accommodated by the aperture.
