Concrete Anchor Float

US Patent:
2007009, May 3, 2007
Filed:
Dec 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/613424
Inventors:
Mark Alyea - Rapid City SD, US
Beth Torpey - Rapid City SD, US
Andrew Fisher - Barman ND, US
Matthew Sletter - Rapid City SD, US
Stephanie Pinon - Fort Collins CO, US
International Classification:
E04B 1/38
US Classification:
052700000
Abstract:
A concrete anchor float that, in one embodiment, facilitates the placement of anchor bolts that protrude from concrete constructions, such as foundations. The concrete anchor float of the present invention can be used with nearly any conventional anchor bolt to insure the correct placement and alignment of the anchor bolt and to promote a strong bond between the anchor bolt and the concrete. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the concrete anchor float generally comprises a base plate with a hole, and a cap extending from the base plate over the hole. The cap includes a cavity configured to releasably secure the anchor bolt, and a top against which the anchor bolt rests upon insertion. According to an implementation of the present invention, the base plate includes features that minimize voids and air pockets between the anchor bolt and the concrete to promote a strong bond. In other implementations, the concrete anchor float includes an impalement protection surface that prevents serious injury that may otherwise result from falling on the anchor float.
