Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/337,625, filed Jan. 7, 2003 (now pending).
- This present invention pertains to apparatus for forming concrete structures, and more particularly to concrete wall forms.
- Concrete wall forms are well known in the art and generally comprise a series of form sections which may be joined together in an edge-to-edge relationship and arranged in a spaced, parallel arrangement with respect to a second series of form sections to define a space for, receiving poured wet concrete therebetween. One particular type of wall form shown and described herein, comprises a composite form having a metal frame and a planar facing member secured to the frame. The frame may be made from steel or aluminum and the facing member generally comprises a laminated plywood panel sized to fit the frame. Examples of this type of form have been manufactured and sold by Symons Corporation of Des Plaines, Ill. under the trademarks STEEL-PLY® and ALISPLY™. Because these forms are relatively light in weight, they are particularly suited to use where the forms are handled manually, such as in the construction of residential structures for example.
- In use, the spaced parallel form sections are maintained in their proper relationship by tie rods which span the space between the parallel form sections and are secured to the oppositely facing forms. One type of tie system commonly used in the United States utilizes frangible tie rods formed from metal wire or flat metal strips, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,580,330 and 2,948,045, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. These frangible ties generally have reduced portions along their length that define opposed ends which may be broken off and removed from the cured concrete structure while a central portion of the tie remains embedded therein. A different type of tie system, which is popular in European countries, as well as in Canada and South America, utilizes a threaded bar which extends between the parallel form sections. The threaded bar may be secured to the respective forms by a nut tightened over the threaded bar. The bar passes through a tube, generally formed from PVC, and the tube protects the threaded rod from contact with the poured concrete. After the concrete has cured, the tube remains embedded in the concrete structure but the bar may be removed for subsequent use.
- While both types of tie systems have been used for many years, prior concrete forms are generally configured to utilize only one type or the other. Accordingly, contractors or builders are limited to using the tie system to which their forms have been manufactured for use. Therefore, if it is desired to utilize a different tie system, either because of customer requirements or otherwise, the forms must be significantly modified or else new forms purchased to accommodate the desired tie system.
- There is thus a need for a concrete form which is capable of utilizing various form tie systems.
- The present invention provides a concrete wall form that can be used with different types of form tie systems to mold concrete wall structures. The form has a frame that supports a facing member which defines an interface barrier with the poured concrete. A series of forms may be arranged edge-to-edge and placed in a spaced, parallel arrangement with an oppositely facing series of forms to thereby define a space for receiving poured concrete. The ties extend between the oppositely facing forms to maintain a spacing which corresponds to a desired finished wall thickness.
- The form includes a first tie rod engaging portion that is configured to receive a first type of tie rod, and a second tie rod engaging portion that is configured to receive a second type of tie rod. In one aspect of the invention, the first tie rod engagement portion comprises a series of notches formed into the frame. When several forms are assembled together, corresponding notches on adjacent forms register with one another to define apertures through which tie rods of the first type may be inserted to extend between oppositely facing forms. Thereafter, the ends of the tie rods are secured to the respective forms to fix the forms in position. In an exemplary embodiment, the first type of tie rod is in the form of an elongate wire or a flat strip of material, typical of the tie rods commonly used in the United States.
- In another aspect of the invention, the second tie rod engaging portion comprises a plate attached to the frame near the first tie rod engagement portion and is used in conjunction with a bracket that is coupled to the frame to support the second type of tie rod. In an exemplary embodiment, the second type of tie rod includes a threaded bar which extends between parallel forms and which is typical of tie rods commonly used in Europe, Canada, and South America. Accordingly, the plate and bracket each have apertures sized to receive the threaded bar. The concrete wall form of the present invention may thus be used with the first type of tie rods, as described above, and when it is desired to use the second type of tie rod, brackets are easily coupled to the form for use in conjunction with the plates to support the second type of tie rod.
- In another aspect of the invention, the second tie rod engaging portion comprises a reinforcing plate attached to the frame near a junction of one of the horizontal framing members and one of the vertical framing members. A blocking plate is adjacent and substantially perpendicular to the reinforcement plate and extends between a horizontal framing member and a vertical framing member. To secure a tie rod of the second type to the concrete form, a washer plate is positioned on the frame and to extend over the vertical and horizontal framing members and the blocking plate. The threaded bar of the second tie rod extends between corresponding apertures formed in the reinforcement plate and the blocking plate and is secured by a washer and a nut threadably received over the tie rod and tightened against the washer plate.
- The features and objectives of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following Detailed Description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the invention.

In this embodiment, aconcrete form 10 includes a second tierod engaging portion 80 configured to receive the second type oftie rod 42 such that theform 10 can be used with either the first or second types of tie rods. In these figures, features which correspond to features in the previously described embodiments are similarly numbered. The second tierod engagement portion 80 includes areinforcement plate 44 a attached to theframe 12 adjacent the intersection of a vertical marginal framingmember 14 and a horizontal framingmember 16. Thereinforcement plate 44 a may be welded to theframe 12 at the intersection of verticalmarginal framing members 14 and horizontal reinforcingmembers 16, or may be fixed to theframe 12 by other attachment methods, or alternatively, formed integrally with theframe 12. - The second tie
rod engagement portion 80 further includes a blockingplate 82 adjacent thereinforcement plate 44 a and extending between the vertical framingmember 14 and the horizontal framingmember 16. The blockingplate 82 is oriented such that it extends substantially perpendicularly to thereinforcement plate 44 a. The embodiment shown inFIG. 6 , the blockingplate 82 is bent into a generally L-shaped configuration with afirst leg 81 extending substantially parallel to the vertical framingmember 14 and asecond leg 83 extending substantially parallel to the horizontal reinforcingmember 16.FIG. 7 depicts an alternative embodiment wherein the blockingplate 82 a is formed in a generally curved configuration between the vertical framingmember 14 and horizontal reinforcingmember 16. The blockingplate aperture 50 a formed in thereinforcement plate 44 a to provide clearance for the threadedrod 46 to extend therethrough. - To secure spaced, oppositely disposed form sections together and thereby create a space therebetween for receiving poured concrete, the second type of
tie rod 42 extends between the space and is received throughaperture 50 a inreinforcement plate 44 a. As described above, the threadedrod 46 extends through atube 48 that is disposed between theparallel form sections 10. As shown more clearly inFIG. 5 , the threadedrod 46 extends through anopening 19 a in facingmember 18 and throughaperture 50 a formed in thereinforcement plate 44 a. Thetube 48 abuts the facingmember 18 such that it is clamped between the opposingforms 10 when theforms 10 are drawn together to define the space for receiving poured concrete. The second type oftie rod system 42 may further include sealingcones 66 inserted in opposite ends of thetube 48. The sealingcones 66 haveannular apertures 68 through which the threaded bars 46 protrude, and anenlarged portion 70 which extends radially beyond the outer diameter of thetubes 48 such that thecones 66 are compressed between thetubes 48 and facingmembers 18 when opposing wall forms 10 are drawn together, as discussed above. Thetie rod system 42 may further include aplastic sleeve 88 disposed within the opening 19 a in facingmember 18.Sleeve 88 protects facingmember 18 around opening 19 a and cooperates with the sealingcone 66 to further prevent the leakage of poured concrete through the opening 19 a. - To secure the threaded
rod 46 to theform section 10, awasher plate 84 having acentral aperture 86 which corresponds to theaperture 50 a inreinforcement plate 44 a is placed against theform section 10 such that it overlies the vertical framingmember 14, horizontal reinforcingmember 16, and the blockingplate rod 46 extends throughaperture 86 outwardly of thewasher plate 84 so that awasher 62 and anut 64 may be threadably received over the threadedrod 46. Thenut 64 is tightened to clamp thetubes 48 and sealingcones 66 between the oppositely facingform sections 10 as described above. - The
washer plate 84 depicted inFIGS. 4-7 is a generally square, metal plate. It will be recognized, however, thatwasher plate 84 may be a round plate, or may be formed in various other configurations suitable for clamping oppositely disposedform sections 10 together and resisting the outward pressure of concrete poured between the form sections.FIG. 8 depicts another exemplary washer plate 84 a which could be used with the invention. In this embodiment, washer plate 84 a is a stamped, metal plate having acentral aperture 86 sized to receive threadedrod 46 therethrough. A raisedportion 90 is formed around the periphery of theaperture 86 and radially outwardly extending raisedribs 92 extend from the raised portion to the outer edges of the washer plate 84 a. The raisedportion 90 and raisedribs 92 reinforce the washer plate 84 a to resist bending. - The concrete forms 10 described above can readily be used with various types of tie systems to create parallel sections for receiving poured concrete. In use, the threaded
rods 46 used with the secondtie rod system 42 typically have greater cross-sectional areas than thefrangible ties 28 used with the firsttie rod system 22. Accordingly, fewer of the second type oftie rods 42 are required to withstand the outward pressure of the concrete poured between theform sections 10. Likewise, a fewer number of second tierod engaging portions individual form section 10. - While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of the various embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus and methods and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the scope or spirit of Applicant's general inventive concept.
