Claim:
1. A method for dismantling a wall formwork from a concrete wall, the wall formwork including a holding formwork, a closing formwork and an anchoring system, the anchoring system including an anchoring rod and a locking device attached to one of the holding and closing formworks and that can be secured to the anchoring rod for holding the closing formwork to the holding formwork, the closing formwork and holding formwork defining therebetween a space into which concrete can be poured and hardened to form the concrete wall, and through which space the anchoring rod extends in a first direction, the locking device being engageable with the anchoring rod to prevent removal of the anchoring rod from the wall formwork in a first direction and disengageable from the anchoring rod to permit removal of the anchoring rod from the wall in a direction opposite the first direction, the locking device having associated therewith a stop member movable transversely to the first direction between a first position securing the stop member to the anchoring rod and a second position allowing the stop member to move along the anchoring rod, and the locking device having a hole extending transversely to the first direction and configured to receive the anchoring rod after the anchoring rod has been removed from concrete wall and to hold the anchoring rod to said one of the holding and closing formworks, the method comprising: moving the stop member transversely to the first direction from the first position to the second position to allow the anchoring rod to move relative to the stop member for allowing the anchoring rod to be pulled out of the concrete and the holding and closing formworks, pulling the anchoring rod out of the concrete and the holding and closing formworks, reorienting the pulled-out anchoring rod into side-by-side relationship with the wall formwork, and attaching the pulled-out anchoring rod to said one of the holding and closing formworks by receiving the anchoring rod in the hole of the locking device attached to said one of the holding and closing formworks, such that the anchoring rod will be carried with said one of the holding and closing formworks after the holding and closing formworks have been disassembled with respect to one another.
