OLIVER gs STEPHEN AHERBETKO a ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,358,960 CORE INSERT FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES David L. ()liver, Palmyra, N.J., and Stephen A. Herbetko, Philadelphia, Pa., assignors to Connelly Containers, Inc., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Oct. 21, 1965, Ser. No. 499,814 21 Claims. (Cl. 249175) The present invention relates to a core insert for concrete structures, and more particularly to a core insert made of a single sheet of corrugated paperboard and having flanges and panels arranged to provide easy erection and great structural strength.
Concrete beams and slabs are often made with a void or hollow in the central part, and in order to provide this void, a core is provided in the mold, so that the concrete is poured into the mold and about the core. This is shown, for example, in Patent #2,192,183. In that patent, a core is shown which is formed by a tube having a supporting grid-like structure therein. This construction has not gained wide commercial acceptance.
Another proposal for core inserts has utilized a relatively large number of insert elements, requiring time consuming assembly in the field; in addition, such other proposal has resulted in an insert which is not as strong as desired, and which requires that a great number of elements be individually handled.
An object of the present invention is to provide an insert for a core made of a single sheet of material, preferably corrugated paperboard.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an insert having high strength against both lateral and vertical collapse, and which can be used for cores of large width.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an insert which may be shipped flat and readily erected at the site of use.
A still further object of the present invention is the provision of an insert which can be assembled with a plurality of other such inserts, for handling as a unit, and without requiring additional fastening elements.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an insert which may be readily used to construct a core of twice the size of the insert itself.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of the present invention will be readily understood from the following specification and drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the front of an insert in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view, similar to FIG. 1, but showing the back of the insert.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional View taken on the line 33 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 44 of FIG. 3..
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a blank for forming the insert shown in FIGS. 1-4.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a number of inserts assembled together in a tube.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a core of double size utilizing inserts of the present invention, with parts broken away.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein cor-responding reference numerals have been used to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown in FIG. 1 an insert 10 which is of generally parallelepipedal form, having panels defining -a front face 11, a rear face 12, a top 13 and a bottom 14. A pair of adjacent flanges 16 and 17 extend across the full width of the insert 10 between front face 11 and rear face 12, parallel to the top 13 and bottom 14. This insert is of Patented Dec. 19, 1967 ordinary corrugated board, and is placed within an impregnated, water-proofed tube with impregnated waterproofed end caps, to be hereinafter described.
As may be seen in FIG. 2, the rear face 12 is defined by a pair of panels 12A and 12B, panel 12A being integral with the top 13 and with the flange 17, and panel 12B being integral with the bottom 14 and flange 16. A flap 12C, partially removed from panel 12A, is integrally connected with panel 12A at fold line 12D, and extends to the plane of front face 11, engaging top 13 and flange 17. Similarly, a flap 12E is partially removed from panel 12B, is joined to panel 12E at a fold line 12F, and also extends to the plane of front face 11, engaging bottom 14 and flange 16. The flaps 12C and 12B are coplanar, and are perpendicular to the front and rear faces and top and bottom, as may be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The flap 12C is shown in FIG. 3, wherein it may be seen that it lies substantially midway between the open ends of the insert 10.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 3, the front face 11, which is integral with top 13 and bottom 14, has a pair of integral flaps 11A and 11B partially removed from the middle portion thereof, flap 11A being joined to the front face panel 11 by a fold line 11C and flap 11B by a fold line 11D. The flaps 11A and 11B are parallel to flaps 12C and 12E, and have the same lengths, so that they extend from the front to rear of the insert. These flaps have slits therein for interlocking with similar slits in the flanges 16 and 17.
The front panel 11 has a pair of spaced openings through which pass the projections 16A and 16B and 17A and 17B, which extend forwardly from and are integral with the flanges 16 and 17, respectively; the projections have enlarged heads, and, further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the flanges 16 and 17 have cutouts 16C, 16D and 17C, 17D which are slightly smaller in width than the projection heads to provide an interlock for adjacent inserts 10.
In FIG. 4 there is shown a cross-sectional view of the insert 10, with the flanges 16 and 17 having the projec tions removed, the panels 12A and 12B defining the rear face, the coplanar flaps 12C and 12E and the flaps 11A and 11B; the flaps 11A and 11B engage the top 13 and bottom 14. Consequently, the laterally spaced flaps 11A, 11B, 12C and 12E, in cooperation with front face 11 and back face 12 provide top to bottom strength against vertical compression from the poured, unset concrete, across a substantial width. There may also be seen in FIG. 4 the eight-sided configurations of the insert 10, as well as triangular flaps 18A, 18B, 18C and 18D which are infolded at each corner of the insert.
In FIG. 5, there is shown the single blank from which the insert 11 is made, with parts numbered correspondingly. As shown in FIG. 5, the flaps 11A and 11B have slits 11C and 11D therein, and these cooperate in known fashion with the slits 16E, 17E and 16F, 17F, respectively, in the flanges 16 and 17. There are also shown apertures 19 which facilitate water drainage and handling of the erected insert, these being at the top and bottom of the front panel 11 and rear panel 12.
When a number of the inserts 11 are to be positioned within a tube, after erection from the blank shown in FIG. 5, the inserts may be joined together in succession by positioning the projections of one insert 11 into the corresponding cutouts 16C, 16D and 17C, 17D of an adjacent insert 11, so that thereby a number of inserts may be assembled as a sub-unit and placed within a tube, thereby achieving ease and rapidity in handling. In FIG. 6, there is shown a number of inserts thus connected, and positioned within a tube 20 having end caps 21 thereon.
In addition, the inserts 11 permit the achieving of voids of either double width or double height, a void 25 of double height being shown in FIG. 7, wherein there may be seen the end caps 21 on a tube 22 of double height, within the tube there being an upper and. a lower series of the insert units 11. This utilization of the insert 11 is possible because of the substantially imperforate support areas of the tops and bottoms 14, although substantially the same arrangement could be achieved for a doublewidth core by virtue of the engagement of the ends of adjacent inserts 11, including specifically the ends of the front face 11 and back face 12 and of the flanges 16 and 17.
There has been provided an insert capable of being made of a single sheet of suitable material, which can be shipped flat and conveniently erected at the site. Be cause of the flanges 16 and 17, at an angle to the rear face 12 and interlocked with the flap components 11A, 11B, 12C and 12E, the insert of the present invention possesses great strength against lateral crushing forces. In addition, because of the three spaced vertically extending flap components 11A, 11B and 12C, 12E, which are disposed at an angle with and extend the full height of the front and rear faces, the insert of the present invention has great strength against vertical crushing forces. The insert of the present invention may be readily assembled with other like inserts so as to form a composite and easily handled sub-unit. Further, the inserts of the present invention may be utilized to form a double depth or a double width core.
Words such as front, back etc. are used herein for convenience of description only, and are not words of limitation.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art thatvarious changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and therefore the invention is not limited to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification but only as indicated in the appended claims.
