Abstract
A continuous round, ring (10) is employed to produce a champher, or beveled, edge (38) on a concrete base (36). Initially concrete (50) is poured into a cylindrical form (20A,20B) and the ring (10) pressed into the top side of the cylindrical form (20A,20B). Excess cement (50) is removed with a trowel (34) and the cement (50) is allowed to harden. After the cement (50) has hardened, the form (20A,20B) is removed and the ring (10) stripped off leaving an attractive and safe champher (38) on the upper edge of the base (50). An alternative embodiment of the ring (100) includes a lip (118) that can be easily gripped so the ring (100) can be removed from the hardened concrete base (36). The gripping lip (118) also prevents the ring (10,100) from falling below the upper rim (24A,24B) of the mold (20A,20B) when the concrete (50) is in its wet, plastic state.
Description
TITLE: ROUND RUBBER CHAMPHERING RING
INVENTOR: John Vitale
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the priority of provisional U.S. application serial no. 60/805,588 filed on June 22, 2006 and entitled "Round Rubber Champhering Ring" by John Vitale, the entire contents and substance of which are hereby incorporated in total by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a continuous round rubber champhering ring and a method of using same to form a champher on a concrete base. 2. Background of the Invention
There are a number of techniques known in the prior art for producing a champher on concrete and the like.
US Patent 5,382,393 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Forming Champhered outside Corners on Concrete Products" appears to describe a segmented set of triangular shaped wooden champher forming strips located at the edges of a concrete product.
US Patents 4,978,099 and 5,616,271 describe methods of forming champhers on the sides of concrete products using generally triangular shaped inserts.
Of relevance, but probably of lesser importance, are the devices and techniques described in the following patents: US Patent 6,419,204; 6,698,709; 6,899,489; 6,935,607; and, 6,969,041.
A problem in the prior art is how to easily form a champher on the upper edge of a round concrete product. Prior art techniques to cope with same have usually involved cutting a rubberized product to length. This results in poor seating and unattractive champher.
It was in the context of the foregoing prior art problems and challenges, that the current invention arose.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Briefly described the invention comprises a continuous, seamless round rubberized champhering ring employed to form a champher on the top leading edge of a round concrete light pole base. The ring is continuous and seamless and has a generally triangular cross- section. The outside circumference of the ring fits neatly and snugly within the top of the concrete base form. According to an alternative embodiment, the ring may include an additional lip to make it easier to grab and remove and so it will not fall below the top edge.
The round rubber champhering ring is used in the following manner. First, concrete is poured into a round form. Second, the ring is pressed into the top edge of the "plastic" concrete so that the top portion of the ring is flush with the top of the round form. The ring fits snugly so that there is virtually no space between the edge of the ring and the inside wall of the form. Third, a trowel or similar object is used to clean off excess cement so that the top portion of the concrete is flat and flush with the top of the ring. Fourth, after the concrete is dried, the rubberized ring is removed. The result is a beautiful, uniform upper champher area on the top of a concrete light pole base. A properly formed champher is not only important from a cosmetic point of view, but also it tends to minimize damage to individuals or vehicles because it has no significant rough, or sharp, edges.
The invention may be more fully understood by reference to the following drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
During the course of this description like numbers will be used to identify like elements according to the different views that illustrate the invention. Fig. 1 is a top perspective view of the preferred embodiment 10 of the invention. The ring 10 comprises a top 12, a side wall 14, and a sloping inner wall 16.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional detail view of the invention 10 illustrated in position as shown in Fig. 3B. The ring 10 fits snugly on the inside of a first cylindrical light stand base form 2OA. Commercial versions of base forms 2OA and 2OB, as also shown in Figs. 3A, 3C and 3D, are available from SONOTUBE® and other commercial vendors. The first form section 2OA has a first vertical side wall 22A and a first top flange or lip 24A. When properly in position as shown in Fig. 3B, the ring 10 fits snugly so that its vertical side wall 14 contacts the inside of the first vertical cylindrical side wall 22A and so that there are no significant gaps or spaces, but not so snugly that the ring 10 cannot be relatively easily removed. The top face 12 of the ring 10 is preferably flush with and coextensive with the plane of the upper lip or flange 24 A of the first form 2OA. An angle 18 exists between the top 12 of the ring 10 and its sloping sidewall 16. Angle 18 is preferable 45° but can range between 40° and 50°. An actual ring might have a width across the top of 12 of 3A", a length across the sidewall 14 of 3A", and an overall face length of sloping side wall 16 of 1". The overall face length of the sloping sidewall 16 can vary from 3A" to 4". The outside diameter of the ring 10 can vary from between 8" to 48" depending upon the size of the light stand base that is being produced.
The steps for using the ring 10 are illustrated in Figs. 3A through 3E.
In Fig. 3A, cement 50 is shown being poured into a form comprising a first semi- circular section 2OA a and second semi-circular 2OB. The first cylindrical semi-circular form
2OA also includes a first bottom flange or lip 26A. The cement form includes a second cylindrical light stand base form 2OB, which is complimentary to, and essentially identical to, the first cylindrical light stand base form 2OA. The second cylindrical light stand base form
2OB includes a second vertical sidewall 22B, a second top flange or lip 24B and a second bottom lip flange or lip 26B as shown. First and second cylindrical base forms 2OA and 2OB each include a pair of sidewall edge flanges 28 A and 28B, respectively. The first form 2OA includes a plurality of holes 4OA in the side wall flange 28A as seen in Fig. 3D. Similarly, the second form section 2OB includes a plurality of holes 4OB in side flange 28B that line up with holes 4OA of the first form flange 28A. A plurality of conventional bolts 30 pass through holes 4OA and 4OB and are secured on the opposite side of the flanges 28A and 28B by a plurality of conventional threaded nuts 32. When properly assembled, the forms 2OA and 2OB have the appearance as shown in Fig. 3A. The concrete 50 is poured into the hollow interior cavity of the forms 2OA, 2OB until it is just up to the rim of upper flanges 24A and
24B. After the cement 50 has been poured up to the rim, the ring 10 is placed in position as shown in Figs. 2 and 3B.
Once the ring 10 is in position as shown in Fig. 3B, the excess cement 50 is removed with a trowel 34 so that the upper surface of the cement 50 is roughly flush with the upper surface 12 of the ring 10 and the upper surface of the upper lips or flanges 24A and 24B.
The next step in the process is the removal of the nuts 32 from the bolts 30 and the separation of the two (2) mold sections 2OA and 20b in the direction of arrows 42 and 44 as shown in Fig. 3C. This makes it possible to remove the ring 10 easier.
After the cement 50 has hardened, the ring 10 is removed as shown in Fig. 3D. Because the ring 10 is made of a relatively soft, resilient rubber-like material, it is easily stripped from the cement 50.
The final base product 36 is shown in Fig. 3E. The base 36 now has a smooth champhered upper corner with no sharp edges. While the base 36 is preferably, and typically, a light stand base, it could also be any other kind of round, circular base such as a column used to support a bridge-like structure.
Fig. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment 100 of the invention 10 in which the ring 100 includes, as before, a vertical side wall 114, a sloping inner side wall 116 and an upper surface 112, as seen in Fig. 5. In addition to the foregoing, the alternative embodiment 100 includes an extended gripping lip 118, which, where the ring 100 is in position, extends beyond the inner surface of the side wall 22A and onto the upper portion of the flange 24A.
The gripping lip 118 makes it easier to grip the ring 10 so that it can be removed as shown in Fig. 3D and it also serves the purpose of preventing the ring 10 from falling below the upper rim 24A and 24B of the mold 2OA and 2OB when the form is filled with concrete as shown in
Figs. 3 A and 3B. The extended lip 118 preferably has a length beyond the upper surface 112 of 1A" and is preferably about 1/8" thick. The alternative embodiment 100 is used in the same manner as the preferred embodiment 10, except that it is easy to grip the lip 118 so that ring 100 can be removed from the form as shown, for example, in Fig. 3D. Rings 10 and 100 are preferably formed by pouring a polyurethane polymer into an appropriate form. The size of the rings 10 and 100 will depend, of course, on the size of the bevel 38 to be formed on the base 36. The preferred polyurethane material is prepared in the following manner:
A first chemical component, which includes about 99% by volume of a polyurethane prepolymer and up to about 1% by volume of a toluene diisocyanate isomer blend, is prepared.
A second chemical component is also prepared and includes from about 70% to about 75% by volume of a polyol-plasticizer blend (non-hazardous), from about 25% to about 30% by volume of a di(methylthio)toluene diamine, and up to about 1% by volume of a phenylmercuric neodecanoate catalyst.
The first and second chemical components are mixed in a ratio of 2:1 (two times the unit(s) weight or volume of the first chemical component for each unit(s) of weight or volume of the second chemical component). The two chemical components are mechanically mixed in containment cylinders for several minutes in order to achieve the necessary pouring and molding consistency. The final compound is then poured, fitted, and cut using the appropriate mold.
The material described above forms a resilient ring 10. It is possible to make rings 10 that are more resilient and, in some cases, the rings 10 might even be stiff or rigid. The preferred embodiment of the ring materials is available from Smooth-On, Inc., 2000 Saint John Street, Easton, Pennsylvania 18042. See www.smooth-on.com. It is referred to as its
PMC-790 Industrial Liquid Rubber Compound.
In summary, the present invention makes it possible to easily form smooth, attractive and safe beveled or champhered edges 38 on concrete bases 36 in a manner that was not possible in the prior art. While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that modifications can be made to the apparatus and the steps of the invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as a whole.
