8 Claims'.
This invention relates to portable concrete forms of the type adapted to be assembled in the field, removed after use, and reused and in particular adjustableforms for casting concrete columns in place wherein the columns may be square, or rectangular and substantially of any size in cross section, or of any heighth.
The purpose of this invention is to provide portable concrete forms which may readily be set up in thev field and readily removed in which the same parts may be used to form columns of different sizes.
Portable metal forms are necessarily heavy and when used for large and high columns it is diflicult to handle sections of portable forms now in use. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates forms having a plurality of vertically disposed sections in which the sections are formed of comparatively thin metal reinforced at the edges and at points intermediate of the edges with structural shapes so that the weight thereof is reduced to a minimum.
In assembling and dismantling portable concrete forms time is essential and for this reason the usual bolts and nuts are objectionable, and to overcome this object the forms of this invention use studs with slots therethrough and tapered keys that may be driven into the slots and which may readily be removed by tapping. l
In some cases it is also desirable to shore up the lower ends of column forms and with this thought in mind this invention includes snoring blocks with sloping intermediate surfaces and studs and keys for securing sections of the blocks together. l
It is also desirable to provide extensions at the upper ends of column forms for holding wood sections and to accomplish this the invention includes means for attaching uprights to the upper ends of the forms to which boards may be attached.`
The object of this invention is, therefore, to provide a complete portable form for casting concrete columns in position that is relatively flexible in that it may readily be adjusted to diierent sizes and shapes.
Another object of the invention is to provide a portable column form that is adjustableand that may be set up and dismantled in a comparatively short time.
A further object of the invention is to provide y an adjustable portable concrete form which is of a simple and economical construction.
With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention consists of the new and useful combination, construction, and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more fully described, set forth in the claims appended hereto, and disclosed in the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein:

Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts the adjustable column form of this invention includes, primarily side plates I8, attaching bars I I, holding plates cr clip angles I2, studs i3, keys I4, shoring wedge sections l5 vand IG, and eX- tension members I1.
The side plates I0 are reinforced by angles 29 and 2| at the sides, T-bars 22 intermediate of the ends, and anges 23 and 24 at the upper and lower ends, respectively. The outwardly extending legs' of the angles 28 and 2| are provided with stud holes 25 and 26, respectively, and the anges 23 and 24 are provided with stud holes 21 and 28 and nail holes 29 and 39, respectively.
The width of the side plates I8 corresponds with that of a common column, however, when it is desired to cast larger columns extension plates 3| with angles 32 and 33 at the sides may be used and the outstanding legs of the angles are provided with stud holes spaced. to correspond with the holes of the angles 2li and 2| so that they may be secured in position by the studs and keys as illustrated in Figure l0.
The attaching bars I I are formed as shown in Figures 5 to 8, inclusive, with a web 34 on one side and ribs 35, 35 and 31 on the other, and with openings 38 between the ribs and lugs 39 and 48 on a head 4| at one end. As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the head 4| is positioned against the inner surface of the outstanding legs of the angles 2G and 2| with the lugs 39 and 48 in the holes therein, and the holding plates I2 are positioned against the ribs and outer surfaces of the angles, and these parts are clamped together 'oy the studs I3 and keys I4. The plates i2 are provided with flanges 42 having lugs 43 and studs 44 thereon and the studs 44 are provided with slots 45 to receive the keys I4. The clip angles or plates I2 are also provided with openings 46 that register with the openings 38 in the bars II.
The studs, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, are formed with heads 21 and slots 48 extend through the shank portions thereof which receive the keys I4. In assembling the forms the studs are placed through the holes and the keys are driven into the slots so that the parts are positively secured together, and when taking the forms down it is only necessary to tap the keys on the small ends to release the parts.
Figure 13 illustrates a wood ller or anchoring block 49 at the end of a side plate and the block is secured in place by nails 5I) with the side plate secured thereto by nails 5I, and in Figure 14.- the ilange 24 of one side plate is secured to the flange 23 of another by the studs |3 and keys I4, The side plates may be attached together, or to wood blocks as may be desired.
The shoring wedge elements at the lower end of the column forms are illustrated in Figures 18 to 26, inclusive, wherein the base flange 52 of the lower section I6 is secured to the concrete door 53 by bolts 54, and the section is formed with end ribs 55 and intermediate ribs 56. The upper surfaces of the ribs slope downwardly from the inner walls of the sections and the intermediate ribs 56 are provided with studs 51 that have key openings 58 therein. The upper section I5 is formed with an outwardly extending web 59 and, as illustrated in Figure 22, this section is provided with tabs 60 and 6| on the ends of webs 62 and 63, respectively, that extend downward over the lower section, and the ends of the tabs are provided with holes 64 and 65 through which the studs 51 extend. The upper and lower sections are secured together by the studs with the keys I4 therein. The web 59 of the upper section isy also secured to the lower ange 24 of the side plate I0 by studs I3 and keys |4.
The shoring wedge elements are also adjustable with the form and one end of each of the upper sections I5 is provided with an outwardly extending angle bar 66 having stud holes 61 therein, and the angle bars of one section are secured to the adjoining sections by bolts 68 with keys 69, as shown in Figure 18. The inner ends of the angle bars 66 are provided with the anges 10 having lugs 1| thereon that are positioned in openings 12 in the vertical legs of the sections I6 when the parts are assembled. The bolts 58 extend through the holes 61 in the angles 6B and through holes 13 in the tabs 60 and 14 in the vertical webs 15 of the angles I5. The lower edges of the webs 62 and 53 are inclined to correspond with the upper edges of the ribs 55 and 56 of the lower section, and the web 53 of the upper section and the base 52 of the lower section are provided with nail holes 16 and 11, respectively.
The forms may also be provided with extension members I1 as shown in Figures 27 to 32, inclusive, and these are formed with angles having stud holes 18 in one leg and nail holes 19 in the other and the ends are provided with clip angles and 8| with stud holes 82 in the sides thereof and holes 83 in the ends. In this design the end flanges 84 of the side plates 85 are provided with openings 85 through which the members |1 eX- tend, and the flanges 81 and 88 at the edges of the side plate are provided with countersunk openings 89 and 90 respectively, to receive the countersunk heads of stud 9| which have slots 92 to receive keys 93, similar to the keys I4. The
stud holes in the intermediate flanges of the side plates are not countersunk as they receive the studs I3 as shown. The extension members may be mounted on the ends of the side plates as shown in Figure 28 with the upper ends secured to a member 94 by screws 95 and boards 96 may be secured thereto with the inner surfaces flush with the inner surface of the side plate 85.
The forms may, therefore be assembled in various combinations to form columns of different shapes and sizes and the parts may readily be set up and also readily dismantled.
It will be understood that other modifications may be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.
