Abstract
Disclosed are a concrete dowel placement devices and a method of utilizing the same. A metallic stud is driven, screwed, or otherwise attached to a form. The stud may be a unitary structure, or may be a hollow tube with conventional fastening means such as nails and screws extending through and holding the hollow tube to the form. A cover having an interior compartment substantially equal in diameter to the stud is slidably placed thereon, and a first enclosed area is developed with a plurality of forms. Concrete is poured into the first enclosed area, and upon curing, the form and the stud are removed, leaving the cover embedded in the concrete. A metallic dowel is inserted into the cover, and a second enclosed area is developed with like configured forms. The metallic dowel extends into the second enclosed area. Upon pouring concrete into the second enclosed area, a cold joint is formed between the concrete of the first enclosed area and the concrete of the second enclosed area, supported and braced by the metallic dowel.
Description
- Not Applicable
- Not Applicable
- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention relates generally to the art of concrete construction. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for facilitating the placement of slip dowel rods within adjacent concrete slabs.
- 2. Related Art
- In the concrete construction arts, “cold joints” between two or more poured concrete slabs are frequently used for the paving of sidewalks, driveways, roads, and flooring in buildings. Such cold joints frequently become uneven or buckled due to normal thermal expansion and contraction of the concrete and/or compaction of the aggregate caused by inadequate preparation prior to pouring of concrete. As a means of preventing bucking or angular displacement of such cold joints, it is common practice to insert smooth steel dowel rods generally known as “slip dowels” within the edge portions of adjoining concrete slabs in such a matter that the concrete slabs may slide freely along one or more of the slip dowels, permitting linear expansion and contraction of the slabs while also maintaining the slabs in a common plane and thus preventing undesirable bucking or unevenness of the cold joint.
- In order to function effectively, slip dowels must be accurately positioned parallel within the adjoining concrete slabs. The non-parallel positioning of the dowels will prevent the desired slippage of the dowels and will defeat the purpose of the “slip dowel” application. Additionally, the individual dowels must be placed within one or both of the slabs in such a manner as to permit continual slippage or movement of the dowels within the cured concrete slab(s).
- A number of methods of installing smooth slip dowels are popular. According to one method, a first concrete pour is made within a pre-existing form. After the first pour has cured, and edge of the form, usually a wooden stud, is stripped away. A series of holes are then drilled parallel into the first pour along the exposed edge from which the form has been removed. The depth and diameter of the individual holes varies depending on the application and the relative size of the concrete slabs to be supported. As a general rule, however, such holes are at least twelve inches deep and typically have a diameter of approximately five-eighths (⅝) of an inch.
- After the parallel series of holes have been drilled into the first pour, smooth dowel rods are advanced into each hole such that one end of each dowel rod is positioned within the first pour and the remainder of each dowel rod is positioned within the first pour and the remainder of each dowel rod extends into an adjacent area where a second slab of concrete is to be poured. Thereafter, concrete is poured into such adjacent area and is permitted to set with the parallel aligned dowels extending thereto. After the second pour has cured, the slip dowels will be held firmly within the second slab, but will be permitted to slide longitudinally within the drilled holes of the first slab thereby accommodating longitudinal expansion and contraction of the two slabs while at the same time preventing buckling or angular movement therebetween.
- Although the above-described “drilling method” of placing slip dowels is popular, it will be appreciated that such method is extremely labor intensive. In fact, it takes approximately ten minutes to drill a five eighths inch (⅝″) diameter by twelve inch long hole into the first pour and the drilling equipment, bits, accessories, and associated set up time tends to be very expensive. Moreover, the laborers who drill the holes and place the slip dowels must be adequately trained to ensure that the dowels are arranged perpendicular to the joint but parallel to one another so as to permit the desired slippage.
- Another popular method of placing slip dowels involves the use of wax-treated cardboard sleeves positioned over one end of each individual dowel. According to such method, a series of holes are drilled through one edge of the concrete form and smooth dowels are advanced through each such hole. Thereafter, the treated cardboard sleeves are placed over one end of each dowel, with a first pour subsequently being made within the form which covers the ends of the dowels including the cardboard sleeves thereon. After the first pour has set, the previously drilled form is stripped away, leaving the individual dowels extending into a neighboring open space where the second pour is to be made. Subsequently, the second pour is made and cured. Thereafter, the slip dowels will be firmly held by the concrete of the second pour, but will be permitted to longitudinally slide against the inner surfaces of the wax treated cardboard sleeves within the first pour. Thus, the waxed cardboard sleeves facilitate longitudinal slippage of the dowels, while at the same time holding the two concrete slabs in a common plane, and preventing undesirable buckling or angular movement thereof.
- This method was also associated with numerous deficiencies, namely, that after the first pour was made, the free ends of the dowels were likely to project as much as eighteen inches through the form and into the open space allowed for the second pour. Because the drilled section of the form must be advanced over those exposed sections of dowel to accomplish stripping or removal of the form, it is not infrequent for the exposed portions of the dowels to become bent and, thus, non-parallel. Additionally, the drilled section of the form became damaged or broken during the removal process, thereby precluding its reuse.
- Each of the above described known methods of placing slip dowels between concrete slabs often results in the dowels being finally positioned at various angles rather than in the desired parallel array. Therefore, the necessary slippage of the dowels is impeded or prevented.
- In response to such deficiencies in the art, a number of dowel placement sleeves have been developed. One such development is U.S. Pat. No. 5,005,331 to Shaw, et al., which is wholly incorporated by reference herein, teaches a slip dowel positioning device that is extractable from the first concrete slab. The device is comprised of a hollow cylindrical portion with a flange or gusset extending perpendicularly therefrom. The flange permitted the device to be attached to the form, and upon curing, the form was removed, thereby also removing the positioning device. Thereafter, a smooth dowel was inserted in the cavity formed in the space previously occupied by the positioning device, and a subsequent slab of concrete was poured. One of the deficiencies associated with the '331 device was that it was required to be removed from a cured slab of concrete, necessitating extra force during removal. Further, the configuration which enabled the positioning device to be removable resulted in a cavity which was less than ideal, in that slight discrepancies in the angular displacement of the smooth dowel are introduced. Therefore, slip dowel placement which was truly parallel to the concrete surface is not possible.
- Thus, alternatively, the '331 patent and additionally U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,862 to Shaw, et al., which is also incorporated by reference wherein, contemplated a positioning device which remained in the concrete slab. The positioning device was attached to the form via staples or small nail heads, and forcibly stripped upon curing of the first slab of concrete. However, the requirement of forcibly removing the form from the positioning device remained.
- Accordingly there is a need in the art for an inexpensive and readily reproducible dowel positioning device which can remain in the concrete slab after curing. Further, there is a need for a dowel positioning device which can be attached and removed from a form with minimal force and a minimum number of extraneous components. These needs and more are accomplished with the present novel and inventive device, the details of which are discussed more fully hereunder.
- In light of the foregoing problems and limitations, the present invention was conceived. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, provided is a concrete dowel placement device for attachment to a form. More particularly, the device comprises a stud having a generally tubular body, a proximal stud end and a distal stud end, and a cover having a generally tubular body having an outer cover surface, an open proximal cover end, a closed distal cover end, and a hollow cover interior compartment extending axially therein configured to slidably receive the stud. In one embodiment, the stud is of uniform construction and has a form insertion section disposed towards the proximal stud end and encompassed by the form, and a cover insertion section disposed towards the distal stud end and encompassed by the cover. The form insertion section extends beyond the proximal cover end when the cover is placed on the stud. Furthermore, the form insertion section is tapered to a point defining the proximal stud end for ease in driving the stud into the form. Alternatively, the form insertion section is threaded and tapered to a point defined by the proximal stud end for screwing the stud into the form. In order to enable the stud to be screwed into the form, the distal stud end defines a molded surface configured to cooperate with a screwdriver head.
- In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the distal stud end and the proximal stud end each have an opening and a hollow stud interior compartment extending axially therebetween. The stud is configured to slidably receive a nail having a length greater than that of the hollow stud interior compartment, the nail having a head in an abutting relationship with the distal stud end and a point driven into the form. In another embodiment, the stud is configured to receive a threaded screw having a length greater than that of the hollow stud interior compartment, with the screw having a head in an abutting relationship with the distal stud end and a point screwed into the form. Further, the stud may include threading disposed in the hollow stud interior compartment to cooperatively retain the threaded screw.
- According to yet another aspect of the present invention, the cover includes an integrated flange on the proximal cover end. Preferably, the cover is formed of plastic, and the stud is ¼ inch in diameter. Along these lines, the hollow stud interior compartment is also ¼ in diameter.
- In accordance with still another aspect of the present invention, disclosed is a method for forming a cold joint between adjoining sequentially formed slabs of concrete. The method is comprised of a) securing one or more studs to one or more forms; b) attaching a cover on to a respective one of the studs; c) forming a first enclosed area with the forms; d) pouring a first slab of concrete into the first enclosed area; e) curing the first slab of concrete; f) slidably removing the forms from the slab of concrete thereby concurrently withdrawing the studs from the covers, wherein the covers remains within the first slab of concrete; g) inserting a dowel into each of the covers remaining in the first slab of concrete; h) attaching a cover on to respective ones of the studs on the form; i) forming a second enclosed area adjacent to the first slab of concrete with the forms, wherein at least a part of the second enclosed area is defined by an edge of the first concrete slab and at least one of the dowels extend into the second enclosed area; j) pouring a second slab of concrete into the second enclosed area; and k) curing the second slab of concrete. The dowel is generally cylindrical, and may be constructed of stainless steel, while the covers are constructed of plastic.

- With reference now to the figures, specifically
FIG. 1 a andFIG. 1 b, a first embodiment of the present inventive dowel device with a closed end speed cover is shown. Aform 30, which by way of example only and not of limitation, is constructed of wood or any other material well known in the art capable of rigidly defining an enclosed area, and capable of receiving and retaining a fastener such as astud 20, anail 140 as illustrated inFIG. 2 a or ascrew 240 as illustrated inFIG. 3 a. Still referring toFIG. 1 a andFIG. 1 b, according to a first embodiment of the present invention, thestud 20 includes a taperedsection 26, which tapers to define a sharp point disposed at aproximal end 24, ashaft portion 28, and adistal end 22. Theproximal end 24 is inserted or driven into theform 30, and is frictionally retained therein. As will be appreciated by one having ordinary skill in the art, the taperedsection 26 enables thestud 20 to be driven into theform 30 with a lesser amount of force. Thestud 20 is typically a quarter-inch (¼″) in diameter, and may be constructed of any suitable material such as steel, stainless steel, or other metals having sufficient strength to prevent deformation of thestud 20 upon driving the same into theform 30. - After driving the
stud 20 into theform 30, aspeed cover 10 is placed on thestud 20, covering the exposed part of ashaft portion 28, i.e., the portion not encompassed by theform 30. Thespeed cover 10 is defined by atubular body 12, a closeddistal end 14, and an openproximal end 16, and includes aninterior compartment 18 which extends axially from an interiordistal end surface 19 through atubular body 12 to the openproximal end 16. The diameter of theinterior compartment 18 is sufficient to enable a sliding relationship between thespeed cover 10 andstud 20. While the preferred configuration is for thedistal end 22 of thestud 20 to be in an abutting relationship with the interiordistal end surface 19, and the openproximal end 16 to be in an abutting relationship with theform 30, strict adherence to this configuration is not necessary. For example, thestud 20 may be inserted further into theform 30, leaving a slight gap between thedistal end 22 of thestud 20 and the interiordistal end surface 19 of thespeed cover 10 when it is positioned on thestud 20. Preferably, though not necessarily, theproximal end 16 additionally defines aflange 11 extending arcuately about thespeed cover 10. Further, thespeed cover 10 may be integrally formed of a plastic material fabricated by conventional molding techniques. - In a second embodiment shown in
FIGS. 2 a and 2 b, asleeve stud 120 has an opendistal end 123, with aninterior compartment 129 extending therethrough. An openproximal end 124 is in an abutting relationship with theform 30, and aconventional nail 140 having anail point 143 and anail head 142 is inserted through theinterior compartment 129 and driven through theform 30. The diameter of theinterior compartment 129 is larger than that of thenail 140, thereby enabling a sliding relation between thesleeve stud 120 and thenail 140, while smaller than that of thenail head 140 to prevent thesleeve stud 120 from being withdrawn from thenail 140 once inserted. The diameter of thesleeve stud 120 is typically quarter-inch (¼″) and may be constructed of metal or other suitable material. Like the aforementioned first embodiment, thespeed cover 10 includes atubular body 12, aninterior compartment 18, a closeddistal end 14, and an openproximal end 16, through which thesleeve stud 120 may be inserted. Theproximal end 16 is preferably in an abutting relation to theform 30 once placed on to thestud 120. Additionally, theproximal end 16 may also define theflange 11. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 a and 3 b, a third embodiment of the present invention is shown, with thesleeve stud 120 having the openproximal end 124, the opendistal end 123, and theinterior compartment 129 extending therebetween. Instead of a nail as in the second embodiment, ascrew 240 having ascrew point 243 and ascrew head 242 is provided. Thescrew 240 is inserted through thesleeve stud 120, and screwed or threaded through theform 30. Thescrew head 242 preferably includes molding that cooperates with a screwdriver head. Such screw heads include standard Phillips heads, flatheads, hexagonal heads, or any other like configuration well known in the art. Optionally, thescrew 240 may be integrally formed with thesleeve stud 120 to eliminate the manual step of inserting thescrew 240 through thesleeve stud 120. As in the previously mentioned first and second embodiments, thespeed cover 10 has the openproximal end 16, the closeddistal end 14, and theinterior compartment 18 which is in a sliding relationship with thesleeve stud 120. Further, thespeed cover 10 may be integrally formed of a molded plastic, and may include theflange 11 extending from thespeed cover 10 in an arcuate fashion. In general, it is to be understood that any fastening mechanism having an elongate structure with a head or other like feature which directly or indirectly cooperates with thestud 120 to attach the same to form 30 is understood to be encompassed by the present invention. - While reference has been made to the “stud” 20 as in
FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, and to the “sleeve stud” 120 as inFIGS. 2 a, 2 b, 3 a, and 3 b, it will be understood that with regard to the relationship to thespeed cover 10, both “stud” 20 and “sleeve stud” 120 include an elongate entity which interfaces with theinterior compartment 18. As used henceforth in describing the formation of a concrete structure, the two terms may be readily interchanged. Further, it is also to be understood that the diameter ofstuds 20 andsleeve stud 120 are substantially the same as that of a dowel to be used to rigidify the cold joint between a first pour and a second pour of concrete. - With reference now to
FIG. 4 , fourforms 30 are arranged in a quadrangular configuration, forming a firstenclosed area 310. WhileFIG. 4 illustrates a quadrangular configuration, it is to be understood that the firstenclosed area 310 can be any shape capable of being formed using conventional techniques well known in the art. As will be appreciated, a desired surface is excavated and abase course 305 comprised of larger-sized aggregate is formed prior to forming the firstenclosed area 310. - As set forth above, preferably each of the
forms 30, or at least one of theforms 30, have thestud 20 centrally attached thereto by any of the described embodiments, including aunitary stud 20 which includes a tapered section for insertion into theforms 30, a separate screw/hollow stud combination or the nail/hollow stud combination. The number of thestuds 20 attached varies according to the needs of each application, and the proper distribution and spacing will be readily determined by a person having ordinary skill in the art. Further, each of thestuds 20 have attached thereto thecover 10 as set forth above. As the height of theforms 30 defines the height of the ultimate concrete structure formed thereby since concrete is poured to be flush with the upper surface of the same, preferably thestuds 20 are inserted in the longitudinal center offorms 30 to maximize the compressive strength of the concrete. Typically, theforms 30 are dimensional lumber such as a two-by-four, which is nominally two inches by fourt inches (2″ by 4″), but can be as small as one and a half inches by three and a half inches (1½″ by 3½″). - Still referring to
FIG. 4 , and now, additionally toFIG. 1 a, upon forming anenclosed area 310 on top of abase course 305 in the desired configuration, a slab ofconcrete 300 is poured therein. Although any well known paving material may be used, concrete comprised of Portland cement and a mineral aggregate such as gravel or sand is preferred. As is understood, concrete is liquid in form before curing, and after pouring, the cement begins to hydrate and glue the aggregate and the cement together, forming a rock-like material. Thus, the outer surface of thespeed cover 10 forms a bond with the surroundingconcrete slab 300, and remains embedded therein. Since theproximal end 16 ofspeed cover 10 abuts theform 30, and therefore the edge of theconcrete slab 300, theinterior compartment 18 does not fill with concrete and remains exposed to the exterior ofconcrete slab 300. The occupation of theinterior compartment 18 by thestud 20 further reduces the tendency of concrete to flow inside speed covers 10. - Now referring to
FIG. 5 , shown is the first cured slab ofconcrete 300, with theform 30 being removed. Along with theform 30, also removed are thestuds 20 previously embedded within thespeed cover 10. As a result of the sliding relation, thestuds 20 are easily and quickly removed from the speed covers 10. As illustrated, the speed covers 10 remains in the cured slab ofconcrete 300, and the openproximal end 16 of the speed covers 10 forms an edge of the cured slab ofconcrete 300. Further, a cavity within the cured slab ofconcrete 300 is effectively defined by theinterior compartment 18 of the speed covers 10. - Referring to
FIG. 6 ,metallic dowels 80 are inserted into theinterior compartment 18 of each of the speed covers 10 embedded within the first curedconcrete slab 300. Essentially, the speed covers 10 eliminate the error-prone drilling step in previously known methods of forming cavities for inserting dowels to brace “cold joints” between two sequentially poured slabs of concrete. The metallic dowels are preferably quarter inch (¼″) in diameter, and constructed of stainless steel. As a person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, a smaller diameter stainless steel dowel possesses the same sheer strength characteristics as that of a larger diameter mild steel dowel. For example, a quarter-inch (¼″) stainless steel dowel has the same sheer strength as that of a half-inch (½″) mild steel dowel. Preferably, themetallic dowels 80 extend fully intospeed cover 10, and extend a substantial distance out of the same. - With reference now to
FIG. 7 , a secondenclosed area 410 is constructed with theforms 30, with at least one edge defined by the firstconcrete slab 300 with themetallic dowels 80 extending therefrom. If another slab of concrete in addition to the one formed by the secondenclosed area 410 is desired, theforms 30 will again include one ormore studs 20 inserted thereon, and one ormore covers 10 placed on thestuds 20. A second slab ofconcrete 400 is poured into the secondenclosed area 410, and is allowed to cure. In this fashion, a cold joint between the first slab ofconcrete 300 and the second slab ofconcrete 400 is formed. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 8 and 9 , the exposedmetallic dowels 80 is embedded within the second slab ofconcrete 400, and extends into the first slab ofconcrete 300 via thespeed cover 10. With steel having substantially the same coefficient of thermal expansion as concrete, during temperature shifts the first slab ofconcrete 300 is permitted to expand and contract about the second slab ofconcrete 400 and vice versa along axis X of themetallic dowel 80. Further, the aforementioned molded plastic construction of thespeed cover 10 enable the first and the secondconcrete slabs metallic dowel 80 is configured to significantly reduce such transformations. Thus, while the flexible characteristics of thespeed cover 10 enable miniscule adjustments, large expansions and contractions are diminished by the placement of themetallic dowel 80. - The particulars shown herein are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of the embodiments of the present invention only and are presented in the cause of providing what is believed to be the most useful and readily understood description of the principles and conceptual aspects of the present invention. In this regard, no attempt is made to show structural details of the present invention in more detail than is necessary for the fundamental understanding of the present invention, the description taken with the drawings making apparent to those skilled in the art how the several forms of the present invention may be embodied in practice.
