Abstract
Abstract A holder adapted to support an anchor bolt in a position for partial embedding in concrete poured into a form to which the holder is pre-secured; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having elongated, side-by-side legs connected together at one end in spring relation, and means securing the legs of the body to a form to overhang the concrete with the anchor bolt frictionally gripped between such legs; the legs being formed, on adjacent sides, with registering notches in which the anchor bolt is engaged.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A holder for a structural element to be partially embedded in a fixed position in concrete during pouring of concrete in a pre-erected form comprising at least spaced-apart form boards; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having a pair of elongated side-by-side legs dimensioned so as to span a space between spaced-apart form boards and adapted for the reception of a structural element therebetween, means connecting the legs at one end for movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clampingly engage and support a structural element therebetween, and means including at least a pre-formed hole in each of said legs for removably securing the legs of the body in fixed spanning relation to at least spaced-apart form boards with the legs maintained in clamping engagement with a structural element to be embedded whereby said securing means maintains said holder normally fixed against significant movement relative to at least spaced-apart form boards; said connecting means being a head integral with the legs; and said securing means comprising a form-penetrating nail extending through a pre-formed hole in the head and form-penetrating nails extending through pre-formed holes in the legs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A holder for a structural element to be partially embedded in a fixed position in concrete during pouring of concrete in a pre-erected form comprising at least spaced-apart form boards; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having a pair of elongated side-by-side legs dimensioned so as to span a space between spaced-apart form boards and adapted for the reception of a structural element therebetween, means connecting the legs at one end for movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clampingly engage and support a structural element therebetween, and means including at least a pre-formed hole in each of said legs for removably securing the legs of the body in fixed spanning relation to at least spaced-apart form boards with the legs maintained in clamping engagement with a structural element to be embedded whereby said securing means maintains said holder normally fixed against significant movement relative to at least spaced-apart form boards; said connecting means being a head integral with the legs; and said securing means comprising a form-penetrating nail extending through a pre-formed hole in the head and form-penetrating nails extending through pre-formed holes in the legs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
118 words
A holder for a structural element to be embedded in part in concrete poured in a pre-erected form and to which form the holder is adapted to be secured in use; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having a pair of elongated side-by-side legs adapted for the reception of a structural element therebetween, means connecting the legs at one end for movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clampingly engage and support a structural element therebetween, and means for removably securing the body to such a form with the legs maintained in clamping engagement with a structural element, said securing means including form-penetrating nails, and the legs having pre-formed holes for reception of such nails.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
118 words
A holder for a structural element to be embedded in part in concrete poured in a pre-erected form and to which form the holder is adapted to be secured in use; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having a pair of elongated side-by-side legs adapted for the reception of a structural element therebetween, means connecting the legs at one end for movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clampingly engage and support a structural element therebetween, and means for removably securing the body to such a form with the legs maintained in clamping engagement with a structural element, said securing means including form-penetrating nails, and the legs having pre-formed holes for reception of such nails.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
195 words
A holder for a structural element to be partially embedded in a fixed position in concrete during pouring of concrete in a pre-erected form comprising at least one form board; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having a pair of elongated side-by-side legs dimensioned so as to overlie a space adjacent a form board and adapted for the reception of a structural element therebetween, means connecting the legs at one end for movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clampingly engage and support a structural element therebetween, and means including at least a pre-formed nail-receiving hole in each of said legs for removably securing the legs of the body in fixed relation to at least a form board with the legs maintained in clamping engagement with a structural element to be embedded whereby said securing means maintains said holder normally fixed against significant movement relative to at least a form board; said connecting means being a head integral with the legs; and said securing means comprising a form board penetrating nail extending through a pre-formed hole in the head, and form board penetrating nails extending through said pre-formed holes in the legs.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
195 words
A holder for a structural element to be partially embedded in a fixed position in concrete during pouring of concrete in a pre-erected form comprising at least one form board; the holder comprising a generally fork-shaped body having a pair of elongated side-by-side legs dimensioned so as to overlie a space adjacent a form board and adapted for the reception of a structural element therebetween, means connecting the legs at one end for movement of the legs toward each other whereby to clampingly engage and support a structural element therebetween, and means including at least a pre-formed nail-receiving hole in each of said legs for removably securing the legs of the body in fixed relation to at least a form board with the legs maintained in clamping engagement with a structural element to be embedded whereby said securing means maintains said holder normally fixed against significant movement relative to at least a form board; said connecting means being a head integral with the legs; and said securing means comprising a form board penetrating nail extending through a pre-formed hole in the head, and form board penetrating nails extending through said pre-formed holes in the legs.
