Definitions

  • An assembly is provided which is comprised of a plurality of desirably spaced sleeves rigidly interconnected to a framework which may be oriented and suspended in a desired attitude within a concrete form by means of noncorrosive studs protruding from the base of each sleeve.
  • a framework which may be oriented and suspended in a desired attitude within a concrete form by means of noncorrosive studs protruding from the base of each sleeve.
  • a second, improved mounting method was to simply drill cored holes into the concrete, sink railing posts thereinto and grout the opening left between the railing. posts and cored holes. This too required the expenditure of a'substantial amount of labor time.
  • each sleeve is individually suspended in the concrete form by means of brackets or rods prior to pouring.
  • brackets or rods prior to pouring.
  • the sleeves are individually set within the form, their spacing and alignment often varies from one concrete pad to the other so that the holes must be measured after the concrete has hardened and the railing especially fabricated for that particular installation.
  • Anotherdrawback has been that themeans employed to suspend the sleeves prevent the concrete from flowing and hardening beneath the bottom of each sleeve andthus does not provide a solid base for the railing posts.
  • the present invention comtemplates a new and improved method and apparatus which overcomes allof the above referred to problems and others and provides means for establishing locating and mounting voids in poured concrete structures which is simple, economical and readily adaptable to a variety of different appli- Cations.
  • a new and improved apparatus for forming locating and mounting voids at desired spaced intervals in a poured concrete pad having a predetermined thickness wherein the apparatus is designed to be positioned relative to a concrete pouring form.
  • the apparatus comprises a plurality of elongated hollow sleeves disposed in a parallel spaced apart patterned relationship identical to the desired spaced intervals, At least some of said sleeves include elongated locating studs extending longitudinally outward from one end thereof for positioning the apparatus in a desired relationship relative to the form.
  • the length of the sleeves or studs may be varied to facilitate the inclusion of a pitch angle in the concrete pad.
  • means are provided to selectively cover the ends of the sleeves exposed at the top of the form in order to prevent undesirable foreign matter from entering thereinto during concrete pouring.
  • a method of forming construction element forming and locating voids at predetermined spaced intervals in a poured concrete pad having a predetermined thickness comprises the steps of: (a) rigidly interconnecting a plurality of elongated sleeves in a generally spaced apart patterned relationship to each other substantially identical to the spaced intervals; (b) providing at least some of the sleeves with elongated studs extending generally longitudinally outward from one end thereof; (c) locating the interconnecting sleeves relative to the form so as to extend generally transversely thereof with the studs supporting the sleeves relative thereto; and, (d) pouring concrete into the form and around the sleeves.
  • the principal object of the present invention is the provision of a new method and apparatus for forming voids in a concrete pad which are simple and inexpensive to use.
  • Another object of the present invention is the provision of a new method and apparatus for forming voids in a concrete pad which prevent undesirable corrosion or rust bleeding.
  • -Still another object of the present invention is the provision of anew method and apparatus for forming voids in a concrete pad which prevent foreign matter from entering the voids during pouring and hardening of the concrete.
  • Still a further object of the present invention is the provision of a method and apparatus for forming voids in a concrete pad which can be readily employed with a sloping concrete pad.
  • Yet another'object of the present invention is the provision of a method and apparatus for forming voids in a concrete pad which may serve as a guide for finish leveling of the concrete.
  • FIG. 1 shows the general environment in which the subject application finds particular use
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an apparatus formed in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view showing one of the sleeve arrangements of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a front elevation of another sleeve arrangement formed in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show an apparatus or sleeve assembly A used for forming construction element locating and mounting voids in accordance with the subject invention, a concrete pad B defininga balcony extending outwardly of a building wall and a balcony railing C having railing posts which are received in the locating and mounting voids created in the pad during pouring thereof.
  • assembly A is comprised of a plurality of elongated sleeves l rigidly interconnected in a desired spaced relationship with each other by a framwork 12.
  • the sleeves are disposed in a generally parallel relationship with each other so as to conveniently receive the posts 14 of railing C as will hereinafter become described.
  • An elongated stud l6 protrudes longitudinally outward of each sleeve, the use of which will also hereinafter be more fully described.
  • Sleeves 10 are desirably constructed from any noncorrosive material and may assume a variety of shapes and designs, although in the preferred embodiment, cylindrical sleeves are preferred.
  • Each sleeve includes an open top end 20, a continuous closed side wall 22 and a bottom end 24 which may either be open or closed and may be constructed of standard sized tubing. In both embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 4, the length of side wall 22 may be varied according to the thickness of pad B for reasons which will hereafter become apparent.
  • Stud 16 is desirably constructed from a non-corrosive material and protrudes outwardly from the bottom end of each sleeve.
  • the stud is preferably formed of stainless steel and affixed to the bottom end by resistance welding to thus prevent the undesirable characteristic of rust bleeding, although other materials such as a fairly rigid plastic material could be advantageously employed.
  • stud l6 formsan integral part of sleeve 10
  • stud 16 is affixed to a cup-shaped base 40 which, in turn, is affixed to the sleeve.
  • Base 40 is dimensioned to receive the sleeve in a press fit, thus closing bottom end 24 of the sleeve.
  • the length of stud 16 may be conveniently varied to accomodate various concrete pad thicknesses as will be appreciated hereinafter.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 each show a removable plastic cap 30 dimensioned to be closely received in open top end 20 for concrete pouring and hardening periods.
  • Cap 30 has a peripheral outline dimensioned substantially to the interior of closed side wall 22 and further includes an upwardly extending flange 32 disposed around the periphery thereof. The close fitting relationship between the sleeve and cap acts to retain the cap in the desired position within the sleeve.
  • Flange 32 also provides a convenient gripping surface for removing the cap once the concrete has hardened.
  • Framework 12 may comprise any fabricated structure adapted to rigidly maintain a plurality of sleeves 10 in a desired spaced relationship relative to each other.
  • this framework comprises a welded reinforcing rod structure including a pair of parallel rods 50,52 spaced apart from each other and welded to opposite sides of the sleeves.
  • End rods 54,56 are welded to the terminal ends of rods 50,52 at an angle therefrom to form the sides of the framework and cross rods 58,60 affixed to rods 50,52 and rods 54,56 provide rigidity for the total framework.
  • the end rods are shown as being at generally right angles to rods 50,52 in FIG. 2, it will be appreciated that other angles are equally suitable as any particular balcony or other construction element design so dictates.
  • framework 12 may be constructed and sleeves 10 applied thereto by means of a jig which accurately positions all the component parts in their proper positions.
  • sleeve assembly A is secured within a conventional form for concrete pad B by means of studs 16 by any convenient means commensurate with the particular form structure.
  • use of the invention is not limited to any particular type of form, common present usage is to precast the balcony pads off the construction site in reusable steel forms so that the sleeve assembly or apparatus A is merely precisely located in the form prior to concrete pouring.
  • the subject invention is equally applicable to use with other form arrangements for on or off site pouring.
  • the use of the type of balcony shown in the FIGURES has found particular value in high-rise appartment buildings and the like where the balconies are generally designed to extend outwardly of the vertical building wall 70.
  • the specific manner in which the balconies or concrete pads are affixed to the building wall is deemed to be conventional and beyond the scope of the present invention so that further elaboration therein is not re quired.
  • each stud 16 is of sufficient length to provide a space between the bottom wall of form 60 and bottom ends 22 of the sleeves when sleeve assembly or apparatus A is properly positioned in the form.
  • Caps 30 prevent the concrete or other foreign materials from entering the sleeves during fabrication of the pad.
  • the sleeve assembly provides an excellent guide to effect levelling for the top surface of the concrete when finishing the pad. If, for example, it is desired that the concrete pad top surface be level, the sleeve assembly would simply be constructed to have a constant height and the concrete poured and leveled to that height. Similarly, if it is desired to have the top surface of the concrete pitched at some angle, then different length sleeves 10 or different length studs 16 could be employed in the sleeve assembly with the height of the assembly sleeves again determining the height or thickness of the pad. In this second example, any denied drop in the pad for drainage purposes may be easily established. If the concrete pouring form used is constructed from wood, the studs may be driven into the wooden bottom wall to retain the assembly in position. Also if desired, the bottom of the studs could be marked, for example, as by painting in order to indicate their proper driven depth into the form to assure accurate location of assembly A relative thereto.
  • the pad may be removed from the form and transported to the construction site for installation. Caps 30 are retained in the sleeves until the pad or balcony is installed on the building and then removed so as to expose the railing mounting holes or voids. Thereafter, a prefabricated railing, portions of which are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, having mounting posts 14 spaced identically to the mounting holes or voids is simply dropped into place and grouted. It should be apparent that the above described arrangement may be varied as desired to accommodate any particular railing structure, as well as other construction elements, without departing from the scope and intent of the subject invention.
