FORM SYSTEM UTILIZING CONE FLANGES, FORM TIES, AND FORM LOCKS

摘要

A form system utilizing a cone type device, form ties and form locks cooperatively to facilitate the erection of concrete forming systems. The cone devices used facilitate the placement of the form ties and provide, with the form ties, a form lock spacer for maintaining an accurate spacing of the form walls before concrete is poured notwithstanding the fact that the cone devices are of size slightly smaller than the size of the tie openings in the form elements for passage freely therethrough. In use the cones are placed on the ties for engagement between the form locks and a shoulder, a crimped section protuberance, or a threaded section on the ties in order to obtain the desired spacing of the concrete forms.
