The control unit (10) has actuator means associated therewith operable to move the panel edges into abutment with the outer edges of the angle member prior to concrete pouring and to strip both the form panels and the angle member from the hardened concrete structure.
Description
- This invention relates generally to assembling concrete form panels for use in casting concrete wall structures. More particularly it relates to improvements in apparatus provided to form the corners of a concrete cast wall structure and especially inside corners.
- In the prior art, many different proposals have been offered with respect to form work and assembling such form work into functional units for concrete construction. Accordingly various structures have been suggested for use in positioning concrete form panels as required in casting the inside corner of a concrete wall structure. Forming such inside corners is necessary in providing concrete shafts, such as elevator shafts, and stairwells in building construction.
- Ideally the finished inside corner is to be smooth and free from joint lines as might be created by the surface character of the form panel or other elements against which the concrete is cast. Importantly, the structure or apparatus utilized to cast the concrete inside corner thereagainst should be simple and involve a minimum number of structural elements. Certainly it is a disadvantage for the form panel support structure to involve use of a variety of separate detached or detachable elements which would be subject to being separated or lost to prevent reuse of the structure at different site locations.
- The prior art structures have generally failed to permit obtaining all of the above mentioned advantages and to avoid the disadvantages outlined.
- Accordingly one of the essential objects of this invention is to provide form panel apparatus for casting an inside corner structure which will render it possible to form the concrete wall structure with a smooth inner surface at and adjacent the corner with the apparatus being composed of a relatively few simple parts which are capable of being readily assembled and disassembled.
- A principal object of the invention is the provision of an inside corner concrete form panel support structure with a minimum of individual parts such that there is less likelihood of any of the parts being lost or separated for the installation at which they are needed.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a corner form panel structure which is adapted to extend across the space between the adjacent edges of wall forming panel sections at the corner of a shaft or other inside corner wall structure, in which a corner forming member has angularly related outer edges respectively overlapping and interengaging with the inner wall forming surfaces of the panel sections with a control unit operable to clamp the overlapping edges of the corner forming member firmly against the wall forming surfaces of the panel sections.
- Another object is to provide an inside corner structure for concrete form panel support which provides the requisite strength for holding the parts incident pouring and hardening of the concrete and also has sufficient force generating capability to enable stripping of the adjacent corner form panels and corner angle member from the hardened concrete inside wall corner.
- Another object is to provide a control unit for an inside corner structure as described above in which the form panel sections and the corner forming member are elongated and extend at right angles to one another to define the inside corner.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a corner forming structure in which the adjacent form panels that are engaged with the angle member at the corner to be cast are positively- controlled by a control unit utilizing four bar linkage members to move the panels perpendicularly away from the hardened concrete wall structure.
- Briefly the invention involves concrete form panel apparatus for use in casting a concrete inside corner wall structure. This apparatus employs an elongate member defining an outwardly facing corner angle which extends lengthwise of the corner to be cast and provides outer edges facing normal to each other while a pair of form panels, deposed generally perpendicular to each other, have adjacent edges which are moved into abutment with the outer edges of the member prior to carrying out the concrete pouring operation. The member and pair of form panels are all interconnected by a control unit which has an actuator operable to move the adjacent edges of the panels into abutment with the outer edges of the corner member. This control unit, and specifically the actuator means thereof, also operates to strip both of the form panels and the corner angle member from the concrete after it has hardened. Positively controlled movement of the form panels and corner angle member relative to each other is acheived by the control unit being connected to the form panels by four-bar linkages and the control unit also having a reciprocably moveable rod element which is rigidly secured to the inside, of the corner angle member and extends inwardly from the corner to be cast between the adjacent edges of the form panels to the point where it is connected with the body of the control unit for the element to be driven axially relative to the body mechanically, hydraulically or otherwise.
- In utilizing the apparatus in an enviornment where four inside corner unit assemblies are to be provided, such as is necessary in forming the four inside corners of a shaft ideally the four corner unit assemblies will be actuated to their closed and open conditions simultaneously.
- The foregoing objects, as well as others, will become apparent through consideration of the following detailed description of the invention given in connection with the accompanying illustrations on the drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a partial diagramatie perspective view showing four corner units assembled with concrete form panels about which a concrete shaft wall structure would be cast.
- Figure 2 is a plan view partially in section, of a corner unit associated with form panels in closed condition for shaping an inside corner structure.
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 but showing the corner unit and form panels in open condition.
- Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the control unit body and actuator device spaced therefrom.
- Figure 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of a hydraulic actuator device.
- Figure 7 is a diagramatic perspective view showing four corner units in assembled form to be withdrawn from a hardened concrete shaft wall structure as an assembly.
- Figure 1 shows four
corner units 10 of the instant invention assembled withform panels 12 for utilization. Thus, there are fourcorner units 10 associated with fourconcrete form panels 12, each form panel defining one wall of a concrete shaft which would be cast around the assembly. Each form panel 12 may be suitably constructed, as is conventional, from one or more sheets of plywood. Likewise, as usual in the art, theindividual form panels 12 are reinforced by horizontally extending, spacedwalers 14. Although not shown on Figure 1, thewalers 14 may in turn be strengthened by connecting thereto horizontally spaced stiffeners or strongbacks that extend vertically of thewalers 14. - Whereas Figure 1 shows the assembly of four
corner units 10 withappropriate form panels 12, Figure 7 illustrates the manner in which the assembly of Figure 1, after use in casting the inner concrete wall surface of a shaft may have a cable harness H attached to the upper four corners of the assembly for lifting it out of the hardened concrete shaft that was previously poured. - Figures 2 and 3 on the drawings show a
corner unit 10 connected to the adjacent edges ofform panels 12 to make use of the unit. Figure 2 shows theunit 10 in closed condition in readiness for concrete to be poured exteriorly thereof to create an inside corner wall structure whereas Figure 3 shows acorner unit 10 in open condition where the form panels and unit have been stripped from the hardened inside corner wall structure C. Thereafter, the unit and associated form panels are removed and utilized at a new location. - A
corner member 16 is provided oncorner unit 10 to define an outwardly facing corner angle.Angle member 16 is elongated to extend lengthwise of the corner to be cast with the concrete being poured outwardly of thecorner unit 10 and associatedform panels 12. Themember 16 providesouter edges 18 which face normal to each other. In turn, the adjacent edges 20 ofperpendicular form panels 12 are provided withlongitudinal grooves 22. As shown in Figure 2, with thecorner unit 10 in its closed condition theouter edges 18 ofangle member 16 are nested into therespective grooves 22 on edges 20 so that theouter edges 18 are abutted with the adjacent edges of theform panels 12. Accordingly, the outer surfaces of these form panels and outer surfaces ofangle member 16 conjointly define an outwardly facing smooth corner angle surface against which the poured concrete is cast and thereafter hardens. - It is contemplated that plywood sheets may form the panel surfaces against which the concrete is cast and
walers 14 are attached to this plywood sheeting to complete' to formpanel 12. - In the illustrated embodiment the
form panels 12utilize walers 14 which preferably are formed from extruded aluminum. It is to be recognized thatwalers 14 may also be provided by elongated wooden members, such as 2x4s, as are used in conventional concrete form panel construction work. In using extruded aluminum lengths to providewalers 14, the waler cross-section may suitably be formed with acavity 24. Amounting plate 26 may be snuggly received incavity 24 and bolted to thewaler 14 by bolt andnut connectors 28, three such connectors being shown affixing eachplate 26 to itswaler 14. Aplate 26 is fastened to each of the adjacent ends ofwalers 14 as shown. It may be noted that, as illustrated, the adjoining ends ofwalers 14 are cut off at a bevel to facilitate movement of thewalers 14 andpanels 12 from the closed condition shown in Figure 2 to the open condition shown in Figure 3. Of course, beveling the ends ofwalers 14 is not necessary as long as their end configuration does not conflict with movement of any other operating components of thecorner unit 10. - Each
corner unit 10 has acontrol element 30. In the illustratedembodiment element 30 is provided by an elongated threaded screw. One end of the threadedscrew element 30 is secured at 32 as by welding, to the inner wall surface ofcorner angle member 16. Thusscrew element 30 is fixed against rotation to extend at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the 90 degree angle between the outwardly facing surfaces ofmember 16. - Screw
element 30 extends inwardly fromcorner angle member 16 between the adjacent ends ofform panels 12 and ends ofwalers 14 to pass through abody 34, forming withelement 30 part of a control unit that is a component ofcorner unit 10. In operation of the corner unit, reciprocal movement ofbody 34 relative toelement 30 is necessary to carry out the actions ofunit 10 in first moving the adjacent edges ofform panels 12 into abutment with theouter edges 18 ofcorner angle member 16 and secondly in stripping both of the form panels and the corner angle member from the concrete structure after pouring and hardening of the concrete exteriorly of theform panels 12 andmember 16. - In the preferred embodiment primarily shown in Figures 2 through 5, the movement of
body 34 reciprocally relative tocontrol element 30 is achieved by utilization of an actuator means in the form ofdevice 40.Device 40 consists of aclamping member 42 which is pivotally supported onbase 44 of the device. In turn the device is clamped at 46 tobody 34 of the control unit. A centrallygrooved anchor nut 48 in held by theclamping member 42 against axial movement relative to thebase 44 ofdevice 40 when the clamping member is closed as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Theanchor nut 48 is internally threaded and is threadably engaged with thescrew element 30. The end ofanchor nut 48 is provided with flat portions to accommodate engagement ofnut 48 by an appropriate wrench to enable turning the nut relative to screwelement 30. Thus the nut can be screwed on or offelement 30 to move thecontrol unit body 34 axially alongcontrol unit element 30. - The detailed structure of
device 40 is not illustrated on the drawings since its construction forms no part of the invention herein. For a fuller understanding of its construction and operation, reference may be made to United States patent 4,044,986, issued August 30, 1977. The utilization ofdevice 40 in the instant invention and its function herein is similar to that disclosed in this patent. Certainly this is true 'insofar as its releasable clamping action is utilized by engagement of centrally groovedanchor nut 48 with threadedscrew element 30 to achieve inward or outward movement ofcontrol unit body 34 relative toelement 30. - Mention may be made at this point of an alternative actuator means which may be employed as a substitute for
device 40. As shown in Figure 6, a hydraulic actuator device may be used in place ofdevice 40 to achieve the same reciprocal movement of thecontrol unit body 34 relative to threadedscrew element 30. Detailed description of the hydraulic actuator shown in Figure 6 will be given subsequently. - The
body 34 of the control unit is guided and driven in its movements back and forth along threadedelement 30 by theanchor nut 48 associated withactuator device 40. To further assist in this guided movement, asleeve 50 is mounted in the end ofbody 34 opposite theanchor nut 48. Thissleeve 50 slidably receives theelement 30 therewithin. The sleeve is appropriately restrained against longitudinal or rotational movement relative to thecontrol unit body 34 by a key 52 on thebody 34 which is received in agroove 54 formed in the outer periphery ofsleeve 50 all as best shown in Figure 4. - Referring again to Figures 2 and 3 the control unit has its
body 34, that is slidably received on threadedelement 30 interconnected by four bar linkage means to each of theplates 26. As previously described, eachplate 26 is fastened byconnectors 28 to one of the adjacent ends of thewalers 14 where the walers approach the corner to be cast in concrete. Each of the sets of these linkage means is provided by a pair of forward upper andlower links 60 which are disposed forwardly or toward the corner of thecorner angle member 16 and upper andlower links 62 which are disposed rearwardly or outwardly of thelinks 60. - The end of each of the
links control unit body 34 is pivotally connected to such body. Thus, twoears 64 are fixed, as by welding, to the forward end of thecontrol unit body 34. Theears 64 provide a pivot axis for the ends oflinks 60, this axis being vertically aligned with the axis of the threadedelement 30 as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Likewise a pair of vertically spacedears 66 is fixed to each of the opposite side edges of thebody 34, as by welding, to pivotally connect the ends oflinks 62 to thebody 34. Two pairs ofears 66 are provided, one on each side of thebody 34 to accommodate the two pairs oflinks 62. The two pairs ofears 66 provide spaced parallel pivot axes for the ends oflinks 62. The relationship of theears body 34 of the control unit, may be be viewed in Figure 5. - The ends of
links 60adjacent body 34 are pivotally connected to the spacedears 64 by pivot pins 68. Likewise the ends oflinks 62 disposed adjacent thecontrol unit body 34 are pivotally connected to the spaced pairs ofears 66 bypins 70. Of course each of thepins body 34. The location of the twopins 68 and fourpins 70 relative to thebody 34 may best be seen on Figure 4 on the drawings. - The ends of each of the
links control unit body 34 are each pivotally conected to one of theplates 26 that is secured byfasteners 28 to thewalers 14. Thus the remote ends oflinks 60 are pivotally connected to therespective plates 26 bypins 72 and the remote ends oflink 62 are pivotally connected to therespective plates 26 bypins 74. Again it will be appreciated that thepins links respective plates 26 will be permitted. The relation ofpins respective plates 26 may best be viewed on Figure 4. - Referring to Figures 2 and 3 it will be recognized that each combination of a
link 60 and link 62 with the pivotal connections as illustrated, forms a four- bar linkage interconnecting thecontrol unit body 34 with one end of one of thewalers 14. Thus the spacing ofpins pins links 60 parallel to thelinks 62. In the closed condition of thecorner unit 10 that is shown on Figure 2, thelinks 60 and thelinks 62 are respectively aligned. By the same token in the open condition of thecorner unit 10 as shown in Figure 3 the four bar linkages formed bylinks links 60 andlinks 62 at right angles to each other. - In the closed condition for the
corner unit 10, as illustrated on Figure 2, thecorner angle member 16 is drawn into be positioned with itsouter edges 18 abutting the adjacent edges of theform panels 12 at the corner of the wall structure that is to be cast. Theanchor nut 48 of theactuator device 40 has been threaded down ontoscrew element 30 to draw themember 16 toward the adjacent edges ofform panels 12 thereby pressing thecontrol unit body 34 toward the corner and compelling thelinks - It may be noted that a
flange 76 forming a part ofcontrol unit body 34 is so positioned that thelinks 60 are prevented from moving beyond the straight aligned position such as shown in Figure 2. Thus withanchor nut 48 firmly tightened down onscrew element 30 thecorner angle member 16 and the adjacent ends of theform panels 12 are retained in proper position for pouring concrete outwardly of thecorner member 16 andform panels 12. Of course, the force from theanchor nut 48 is transmitted through thedevice 40 to thebody 34 of the control unit to acheive the above described condition of the apparatus. - Once the concrete has been poured and thereafter has hardened to form the inside corner wall structure it is, of course, necessary to strip both the
form panels 12 and theangle member 16 from the concrete wall structure surface. In carrying out this operation the apparatus is moved to the opened condition as shown in Figure 3. To achieve this condition theanchor nut 48 is backed off by threading it off of thescrew element 30. This action, acting through thedevice 40 attached to controlunit body 34, pulls the body back away from the concrete corner wall structure. The force applied byanchor nut 48 acting onscrew element 30 tends to push thecorner member 16 against the hardened concrete wall structure corner. In moving to the open condition, the four bar linkages, formed by links - 60 and 62, collapse to the condition as shown in Figure 3. In doing so therespective form panels 12 are stripped away from the cast concrete C by being drawn perpendicularly from the hardened concrete wall surface. Thereafter theanchor nut 48 is threaded in the opposite direction to draw the threadedscrew element 30 with thecorner member 16 affixed thereto rearwardly to strip thecorner member 16 from the cast concrete C. - In moving from the closed condition as shown in Figure 2 to the opened condition for the apparatus as shown in Figure 3, holding means described hereinafter are provided to retain the components in proper operating relationship incident threading of the
anchor nut 48 onelement 30 away from and thereafter toward thecorner member 16 which, of course, acts on such member through theelongated screw element 30. - With the
corner unit 10 in its closed condition as shown in Figure 2, the apparatus stands ready for pouring concrete around the exterior thereof to cast an inside corner wall structure. After hardening of the concrete, theform panels 12 andcorner member 16 must be stripped from the hardened concrete wall. Incident this stripping operation, theform panels 12 withwalers 14 move perpendicularly inwardly in the directions of arrows A. Then the elongated threadedelement 30 carryingcorner member 16 is drawn back from the cast inside corner wall in the direction of arrow B. - To assure separation between the outer edges of
angle member 16 and the adjacent edges ofform panels 12 when the panels are being stripped, a pair oftravel rods 80 are provided, one being pivotally fixed to the end of each of thewalers 14 where thewalers 14 andpanels 12 approach the inside corner wall structure. To provide this pivotal mounting, abracket 82 may be approriately bolted or otherwise fastened to the web of thewaler 14 with eachbracket 82 carrying apivot pintle 84 that may be provided by a bolt and nut, the bolt being passed through openings provided in the end of thetravel rod 80 so as to achieve pivotal mounting of the travel rod on the end of thewaler 14. - The end of each
travel rod 80 remote from its pivotal mounting bypintle 84 onbracket 82 is provided with aroller 86 supported to project slightly, beyond the end of travel rod 8d by. being rotatably carried on apin 88. - When the
form panels 12 are to be stripped from the hardened concrete wall structure thetravel rods 80 are pivoted into the positions as shown in Figure 2. It will be noted that purely for illustrative purposes theleft travel rod 80 shown in Figure 2 is mounted onbracket 82 so that it extends horizontally for itsroller 86 to rotatably engage the inner surface of one wall ofcorner angle member 16. Thebracket 82 carrying theother travel rod 80 disposes such rod to extend horizontally over and above the first mentioned travel rod with theroller 86 of this other travel rod rotatably engaging the inner wall of the other leg ofcorner angle member 16. When theanchor nut 48 is screwed outwardly on threadedelement 30, control unit body 31, through the action of the four bar linkages formed bylinks form panels 12 and theirwalers 14 inwardly in the directions of arrows A to move perpendicularly away from the hardened concrete wall. Incident this movement of theform panels 12, thetravel rods 80 will be carried along androllers 86 will roll along the inner surfaces of the legs ofcorner angle member 16. Thus, thetravel rods 80 assure that theangle member 16 is retained in its position within the corner of the hardened concrete wall structure so as not to move with this initial movement of theform panels 12 away from the. hardened wall structure. It should be noted however that inherently the forces applied by rotation ofanchor nut 48 on threadedelement 30 as the nut is threaded back off the element act to forceelement 30 andangle member 16 carried thereby more firmly into engagement with the hardened concrete wall corner. This force is transferred throughcontrol unit body 34 to the four bar linkages in strippingform panels 12 off of the hardened wall surface. - Once the
form panels 12 have been fully stripped and withdrawn from the hardened wall surface the four bar linkages formed bylinks angle member 16 be stripped from the corner of the hardened concrete wall structure and fully withdrawn to assume the position, relative to theform panels 12, shown in Figure 3. - With the
form panels 12 fully withdrawn andangle member 16 still disposed in the hardened concrete inside corner, thetravel rods 80 will be pivoted onpintles 84 carried bybrackets 82 to their retracted positions as shown in Figure 3, with therods 80 lying along and extending ' inwardly of thewalers 14. In this condition of the apparatus, theanchor nut 48 is rotated onscrew element 30 in the opposite direction to return it onto the element and toward the corner whereangle member 16 is located. This action throughnut 48 ondevice 40 andcontrol unit body 34 tends to return the four bar linkages oflinks upper links 60, a retaining means to keeplinks 60 in their right angle position, preventing them from moving from this state. Inherently this retaining means also acts to keep thelinks 62 in their relationship to each other as shown in Figure 3. - The retaining means consists of, in the embodiment illustrated, a
short tab 90. This tab is simply shown in the form of a short length angle. It is appropriately affixed by welding to one edge ofright link 60 as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The upper or left link of the pair oflinks 60 as shown in Figures 2 and 3 is provided with a pivotally mounted C-shapedretainer 92.Retainer 92 hasparallel legs 94 extending from the midportion thereof which are pivotally engaged by a pin carried by anear 96 that is welded on the upper surface of the left hand link as shown on Figures 2 and 3.Retainer 92 may be swung from an upper or inactive position as shown in Figure 2 to an active retaining position as shown in Figure 3. In the inactive position the legs of the C-shapedretainer 92 extend upwardly. As thelinks 60 of the four bar linkages move to the position shown in Figure 3 thetab 90 on onelink 60 will be moved into the position relative to theother leg 60 as shown in Figure 3. Thereupon theretainer 92 may be swung onear 96 down into the retaining position. In this retaining position the C-shapedretainer 92 clamps thetab 90 against the side of theother link 60 and serves to prevent movement of thelinks 60 from the right angle relationship as shown in Figure 3. - With
retainer 92 disposed as shown in Figure 3 theanchor nut 48 may be threaded back ontoelement 30 to apply force in drawingelement 30 andcorner member 16 away from the hardened concrete corner to strip the corner member from the wall structure. This force acting to pullcorner member 16 andelement 30 back when transmitted tobody 34 of the control unit will not result in thelinks retainer 92 serves to prevent the links of the four bar linkages from moving away from their 90 degree disposition relative to each other. - By manipulating the
anchor nut 48 relative to the threadedscrew element 30 the components of the apparatus may be snuggly drawn into their relationship as shown in Figure 3. - Ideally the
corner units 10 are simultaneously and equally actuated from all four corners of the cast concrete shaft so that all fourform panels 12 and all four of thecorner angle member 16 are conjointly drawn back in being stripped from the hardened wall surface of the now cast shaft. In this collapsed or retracted condition where all of the corner units are in their opened condition as shown in Figure 3, the entire assembly may have the corners thereof attached to a harness H, as shown in Figure 7, and then the entire assembly ofcorner units 10 withform panels 12 lifted from the shaft or, if desired, raised to a new location where a further portion of a concrete shaft wall structure is to be cast. When thecorner units 10 are to be reextended to their closed position, obviously theretainer 92 is swung from the position shown in Figure 3 to its upstanding position on thelink 60 to which it is attached. Thereupon thecorner unit 10 is in condition to have theanchor nut 48 loosened onelement 30, theangle member 16 positioned at the desired location for the inside corner to be cast and thereupon anchornut 48 threaded ontoelement 30 to move theform panels 12 into the proper relationship with theangle member 16 as shown in Figure 2 for the casting of a further inside corner wall structure where desired. - Whereas the four bar linkages utilizing the pairs of
links - As shown in Figure 6, a suitable
hydraulic actuator device 100 may be used in place of theactuator device 40. Thehydraulic actuator device 100 is shown formed with acylindrical housing 102 that is appropriately bolted at 104 to thecontrol unit body 34 by means of a flange on thehousing 102. Achamber 106 to accommodate hydraulic actuating fluid is defined withinhousing 102 by anannular wall 108 secured at one end of the housing with aseal 110 mounted on the inner perimeter of theannular wall 108. The opposite end ofchamber 106 withinhousing 102 may be defined by an inwardly extendingannular wall 112 having a seal ll4 mounted on the inner periphery thereof. Connections for introducing and/or exhausting hydraulic fluid are provided communicating withchamber 106 bylines - A
sleeve piston 120 is shown mounted withinhousing 102 ofactuator device 100.Piston 120 has a smooth cylindrical surface which sealingly cooperates withseals chamber 106.Piston 120 is provided with a radially extendingcylindrical wall 122 having anappropriate seal 124 disposed around the outer edge thereof which sealingly engages with the inner wall ofcylindrical housing 102. - It will be appreciated that with the introduction of hydraulic fluid under pressure through
line 116 and exhausting fluid throughline 118 thepiston 120 will be driven to the left, as shown in Figure 6. Likewise by introducing hydraulic fluid pressure throughline 118 and exhausting fluid throughline 116 thepiston 120 by reason of the fluid acting onwall 122 will urgepiston 120 toward the right, as shown in Figure 6. - The
hydraulic actuator device 100 is to be mounted oncontrol unit body 34 in place ofactuator device 40 with the elongated threadedscrew element 30 passing through the interior of thedevice 100. Thesleeve piston 120 ofdevice 100 is internally threaded at 126 to threadingly mate with the threads onelement 30.Nuts 128 may be provided, threaded ontoelement 30 at the ends ofsleeve piston 120, to lock the piston in its desired location onelement 30 so as to move with the screw threadedelement 30 in accordance with the flow of hydraulic fluid relative tochamber 106 throughlines - It is to be understood that movements comparable to those achieved with the
mechanical actuator device 40 on thecorner units 10, hereinbefore described, may also be achieved by utilizing thehydraulic device 100, as shown in Figure 6. In such use thedevice 100 replaces thedevice 40. When utilizing thehydraulic device 100 thecontrol unit body 34 is moved simply by the -direction of flow of hydraulic fluid into or out oflines device 100 in place ofdevice 40 in that where fourcorner units 10 are employed in an assembly with fourform panels 12, such as shown in Figures 1 and 7, thehydraulic devices 100 render it particularly easy to simultaneously withdraw thecorner units 10 to their open position, as shown in Figure 3. - It should be obvious from the above discussed apparatus embodiments that numerous other variations and modifications of the apparatus of this invention are possible and such will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the scope of this invention is not to be limited by the embodments disclosed but is to include any such embodiments as may be encompassed within the scope of the claims appended hereto.
