Abstract:
A device for supporting a weldment plate, which is used during formation of a poured concrete wall, the device comprising:an elongate body portion having a length substantially equal to a thickness of the concrete wall, which is contemplated to be poured, minus a dimension of the weldment plate extending in a direction of the thickness of the concrete wall; a surface engaging portion for contacting a surface on which the concrete wall will be poured and for supporting the weldment plate in a position appropriately spaced from that surface; the length of said elongate body portion being adjustable; said elongate body portion comprising two components which may be adjusted relative to each other to achieve the desired length; said two components being threadably engaged and rotation of one component relative to a second component results in a change in the length of said elongate body portion; and means for attaching said elongate body portion to the weldment plate, wherein the device is capable of maintaining the weldment plate in a desired position when wet concrete is poured and sets up to form the concrete wall.
