Concrete molding form member, and form member space holder and form member connector for assembling the same

Abstract: A concrete molding form member comprises a long flat front plate portion (3), a pair of horizontal side plate portions (4, 4) perpendicularly extending from cross-sectional ends of the front plate portion toward its back surface, and a horizontal pair of rear plate portions (5, 5) perpendicularly inwardly extending from forward ends of the side plate portions to be opposed to the back surface of the front plate portion (3), and is integrally formed by a fiber reinforced plastic material. Each of the front plate portion (3), the side plate portions (4, 4) and the rear plate portions (5, 5) is provided with a plurality of mounting holes (6, 7, 8, 13, 14) in the same longitudinal positions at prescribed intervals, so that the distances between centers of the mounting holes which are arranged in the side plate portions and the surface of the front plate portion (3) are set to be substantially equal to those between centers of the mounting holes which are arranged in the rear plate portions and surfaces of the side plate portions. According to this structure, it is possible to provide a concrete molding form member having excellent workability, which comprises advantages of conventional wood, metal and synthetic resin form members and can be provided with both functions of concrete molding surfaces and connecting surfaces not only on its surface but on side surfaces, a back surface and upper and lower surfaces, at a relatively low manufacturing cost.

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a concrete molding form member for assembling a concrete formwork which is employed for placing concrete or molding a concrete secondary product in construction and civil engineering works. Description of the Background Art In general, a wood form member comprising a plywood board and bridges which are nailed thereto and a metal form member comprising an iron plate or an aluminum plate and metal ribs which are fixed thereto are known as such concrete molding form members. As shown in Fig. 54A, a typical example of the conventional wood form member 70 comprises a flat plate 71 of plywood which is fixed to a plurality of reinforcing bridges 72 with nails 73, for example. In order to assemble a concrete formwork, endmost reinforcing bridges 72 of adjacent form members 70 are fastened to each other with nails 73, for coupling/fixing the form members 70 with/to each other. Fig. 54B shows an exemplary concrete formwork which is assembled in the aforementioned manner to have a cross concrete molding part 74. The flat plates 71 can be formed by plastic plates, for example, in place of the plywood boards. Description is now made on an example of a conventional form member space holder for fixing a pair of the aforementioned form members 70 with a prescribed space through concrete placing surfaces for assembling a concrete formwork, with reference to Figs. 55 and 56A to 56C. Referring to Fig. 55 which is based on US patent 4 186 906, the conventional form member space holder is mainly formed by a separator 121, attachments 122 and clamp members 123. As shown in Fig. 56A, the separator 121 comprises a bar and a pair of male screws 121a which are provided on both ends thereof. Each male screw 121a is fitted with a female screw 122c which is provided on a first end of each attachment 122 as shown in Fig. 56B. A male screw 122d which is provided on a second end of the attachment 122 substantially coaxially with the female screw 122c passes through a separator mounting hole 76 which is provided in each form member 70, so that an end of a substantially truncated-conical resin presser part 122a which is engaged with the outer periphery of an attachment body part 122b is in contact with the concrete placing surface of the form member 70. A female screw 123a which is provided on a first end of each clamp member 123 is fitted with the male screw 122d of the attachment 122, thereby clamping/fixing the attachment 122 to each form member 70. A male screw 123b is provided on a second end of each clamp member 123 as shown in Fig. 56C, so that a support member 124 and a nut 125 which are mounted on this male screw 123b fix thin cylindrical form member support members 126 of a metal for bridging a plurality of transversely arranged form members 70, as shown in Fig. 55. Fig. 57A shows a typical example of a conventional metal form member 80 comprising a metal flat plate 81, and side plates 82 and reinforcing plates 83 which are bonded/fixed to the same. Fig. 57B shows a concrete formwork having a cross concrete molding part 84, which is assembled by a plurality of such metal form members 80. In this formwork, metal reinforcements 85 are employed in intersections of the cross concrete molding part 84, in addition to the form members 80. Japanese Utility Model Laying-Open No. 62-54149 (1987) discloses a conventional synthetic resin form member which is also well known in the art. In the synthetic resin form member described in this gazette, reinforcing projections which are made of plastic are integrally provided on four points of a back surface portion of a plate member having a square front surface. The projections are provided with holes for receiving links, while the plate member is also provided with holes for receiving separators in prescribed portions thereof. Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2-8459 (1990) discloses a concrete placing form member consisting of a press-molded sheet containing 50 to 10 percent by weight of glass fiber mat in 50 to 90 percent by weight of thermosetting resin. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 5-59811 (1993) discloses a concrete placing form member comprising a face plate and reinforcing ribs which are provided at least along the longitudinal direction of the face plate. In this form member, the face plate is formed by a fiber reinforced plastic member, while a fiber reinforced plastic material forming the ribs (longitudinal ribs) along the longitudinal direction has a bending elastic modulus of at least 10 GPa and longitudinal flexural rigidity of the form member is set to be at least 2.5 x 10 7 kgf•mm 2 per unit width (1 cm) of the form member. Among the aforementioned conventional examples, the wood form member can be recycled merely 3 to 4 times since the plywood board is separated from its end portion upon employment of several times due to absorption of alkaline moisture, requires skillfulness for assembling/execution, is unsuitable for global environmental protection due to consumption of lauan raw material and industrial waste resulting from the spent form member, and cannot be applied to high-quality concrete having a low slump value and high strength since employment of a vibrator is limited due to low strength, although the same is lightweight and has a degree of freedom in execution. Due to high water absorptivity of the plywood board, further, the concrete as placed loses an ideal water-cement ratio in a surface portion which is in contact with the plywood board, resulting in a rough state of the finished concrete outer surface. Since an erroneous decision may be made on defective hardening of the concrete in this case, prescribed painting is applied to the surface of the plywood board for reducing its water absorptivity. However, such a painted plywood board is high-priced and hence the cost is disadvantageously increased. On the other hand, the metal form member can be hardly applied to general construction works since the executable range is limited due to a small degree of freedom in working, although the same has high strength. Further, the metal form member must be miniaturized due to its heavy weight, leading to inferior executability. Further, insufficient management leads to unusability due to rusting and/or deformation, and it is extremely difficult to repair such a rusted/deformed form member. While the synthetic resin form member can provide an excellent concrete finished surface, further, the aforementioned form member described in Japanese Utility Model Laying-Open No. 62-54149, which comprises a plate member and solid prism-shaped projections similarly to the wood form member except that the same are made of synthetic resin, has a heavy weight and can be manufactured only by press molding due to limitation in its shape, with requirement for a high manufacturing cost. Further, existent synthetic form members including those described in Japanese Patent Laying-Open Nos. 2-8459 and 5-59811 are not beyond the ranges of the shapes and functions of the wood and metal form members. Namely, the surfaces, the both side ribs and the back surfaces of such form members have only functions for serving as concrete molding surfaces, form member connecting members and reinforcement forming surfaces respectively, and hence only a single function is decided every surface in these existing form members. Thus, a synthetic resin form member can be used only in the same method as those for the remaining existent form members. In addition, the conventional synthetic resin form member, which is manufactured by press molding, is insufficient in strength and high-priced, and hence the same is hardly put into practice under the present circumstances. Further, the conventional synthetic resin form member is inferior in workability for connection and demolition, since such members are connected with each other through nails or bolts and nuts. In the conventional form member space holder described with reference to Figs. 55 to 56C, on the other hand, the resin presser part 122a and the body part 122b of each attachment 122 are positioned on the concrete placing surface of each form member 70, and hence it is necessary to mount the separator 121 and the attachments 122 before fixing the positions of a pair of form members 70. Once the positions of the form members 70 are fixed, the separator 122 and the attachments 122 can be neither mounted nor demounted, leading to inferior workability. From GB 2 216 584 A a concrete molding form member according to the preamble of claim 1 is known. The mounting holes are provided on the portions preferably with distances of 5 cm. Therefore it is an object of the present invention to provide a concrete molding form member comprising the respective advantages of the conventional wood, metal and synthetic resin form members and having both functions of concrete molding surfaces and connecting surfaces not only in its surface but in its side-surfaces, its back-surfaces and its upper- and lower-surfaces to be used in a method absolutely different from that for the conventional synthetic resin form member, wherein the form members can be simply connected with each other or a single form member can be simply connected with a form member connector. This object is solved by a concrete molding form member with the features of claim 1. Preferred developments of the concrete molding form member are set forth in the depending claims. According to this structure, it is possible to connect/fix a pair of the inventive concrete molding form members with/to each other by bringing the side plate portions of the form members or the side plate portions of the first form member and the rear plate portions of the second form member into contact with each other for overlapping the centers of the corresponding mounting holes provided in the form members with each other, and attaching form member connectors through the mounting holes. Consequently, it is possible to provide functions for serving as both of concrete molding surfaces and form member connecting surfaces not only on the surface of the front plate portion of each form member but on the back surface thereof and surfaces of the side plate portions. Thus, the degree of freedom in execution is so increased that it is possible to readily assemble concrete formworks of various shapes in combination with form member auxiliary materials having U-shaped or L-shaped sections, dissimilarly to the conventional form members. According to the structure of claim 2, it is possible to bring the horizontal end plate portion of a first form member into contact with the vertical end plate portion of a second form member for overlapping centers of the respective mounting holes with each other thereby fixing the form members to each other by form member connecting portions through the mounting holes, since the end plate body having the horizontal and vertical end plate portions is engaged with at least either the upper or lower end of the form member body while the distances between the centers of the mounting holes provided in the horizontal and vertical end plate portions and the surface of the front plate portion and the surface of the horizontal end plate portion are set to be substantially equal to each other. Thus, it is possible to connect the end portions of two form members so that the form members are perpendicular to each other. Consequently, it is possible to assemble concrete molding formworks of various shapes, to ensure application to wide usages. Due to the end plate body which is engaged with either end of the form member body, further, it is possible to improve rigidity on this end portion, thereby implementing higher strength against a pressure in concrety placing. According to the structure of claims 3 and 4, it is possible to implement a relatively lightweight form member having high strength, due to the form member body or the end plate body which is formed by an integrally formed fiber reinforced plastic member. Further, the form member of such a material is extremely advantageous in view of the production cost, since the same can be formed by continuous draw molding. Further, it is possible to readily connect two or more concrete molding form members along the longitudinal direction by providing pairs of through holes in the vicinity of horizontal side portions of the horizontal end plate portions of the end plate bodies forming the concrete molding form members, arranging the concrete form members in series with each other so that the through holes of the horizontal end plate portions are opposite to each other, and inserting pipe-shaped long bars engageable with the opposite through holes therein. According to the structure of claim 6, it is possible to prevent misalignment between the pipe-shaped long bar and the concrete molding form member by storing the pipe-shaped long bar which is inserted in the through holes provided in the horizontal end plate portion in the spaces having square horizontal sections enclosed with the front plate portion, the pair of side plate portions, the pair of rear plate portions and the pair of reinforcing thick portions respectively, due to the reinforcing thick portions which are provided on the inner side end portions of the pair of rear plate portions. The pipe-shaped long bar which is strongly mounted on the concrete molding form member can serve not only as a connector for connecting a plurality of concrete molding form members along the lonqitudinal direction but a reinforcing member. The foregoing and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention is now described with reference to the drawings. Referring to Fig. 1, a concrete molding form member 1 according to this embodiment comprises a front plate portion 3, a pair of strip side plate portions 4, and a pair of strip rear plate portions 5. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the concrete molding form member 1 from behind. Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, the front plate portion 3 of the concrete molding form member 1 according to this embodiment is formed by a long flat plate having cross-sectional ends 3A, longitudinal ends 3B which are separated from each other by a length of about 10 times that between the cross-sectional ends 3A, a flat surface 3C and a flat back surface 3D. The pair of side plate portions 4 are in the form of long strip bodies perpendicularly extending from the cross-directional ends 3A of the front plate portion 3 toward the back surface 3D to be opposite to each other and having flatly formed surfaces 4A. Further, the pair of rear plate portions 5 are in the form of long strip bodies perpendicularly inwardly extending from cross-directional forward ends 4B of the side plate portions 4, to face the back surface 3D of the front plate portion 3. The rear plate portions have flatly formed surfaces 5A and inwardly projecting forward ends forming reinforcing thick portions 5B. A form member body 2 according to this embodiment defined by the front plate portion 3, the pair of side plate portions 4 and the pair of rear plate portions 5 which are integrally formed with each other is integrally molded by a fiber reinforced plastic material through continuous draw molding, and the thicknesses of the front plate portion 3 and the side plate portions 4 are set at about 5 mm respectively, while those of the reinforcing thick portions 5B are set at about 10 mm. The reinforcing fiber is preferably prepared from glass fiber, while the same may alternatively be prepared from carbon fiber or Aramid (trade name) fiber. On the other hand, the plastic component is preferably prepared from polyester-based thermosetting resin, while the same may alternatively be prepared from thermoplastic resin. The front plate portion 3 of the form member body 2 according to this embodiment is provided on its cross-sectional center with a plurality of mounting holes 6 at prescribed intervals along the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, each of the pair of side plate portions 4 is also provided with a plurality of mounting holes 7 in correspondence to the positions of the mounting holes 6 provided in the front plate poriton 3 respectively, and each of these mounting holes 7 is arranged on a position which is cross-directionally separated from the surface 3C of the front plate portion 3 by a prescribed distance L. Further, each of the pair of rear plate portions 5 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 8 also in correspondence to the positions of the mounting holes 6 provided in the front plate portion 3, and each of these mounting holes 8 is also arranged on a position which is cross-directionally separated from the surface 4A of the side plate portion 4 by the same prescribed distance L. With reference to Figs. 3 and 4, end plate bodies 9 which are engaged with longitudinal ends of the form member body 2 are now described. Each end plate body 9 is integrally formed by a fiber reinforced plastic member having a substantially U-shaped section which is provided with a flat horizontal end plate portion 10 shielding either longitudinal end of the form member body 2 and a pair of vertical end plate portions 11 and 12 perpendicularly extending from front and rear ends of the horizontal end plate portion 10 respectively. The horizontal end plate portion 10 is formed to be engaged with a space having a rectangular plane shape which is enclosed with the front plate portion 3, the pair of side plate portions 4 and the pair of rear plate portions 5. In the pair of vertical end plate portions 11 and 12, the front end surface of the front vertical end plate portion 11 is in contact with and fixed to the back surface 3D of the front plate portion 3, while the rear vertical end plate portion 12 is formed to be engaged between the pair of rear plate portions 5 while facing the vertical end plate portion 11. All of surfaces 10A, 11A and 12A of the horizontal end plate portion 10 and the pair of vertical end plate portions 11 and 12 are flatly formed respectively. A mounting hole 13 is provided in the longitudinal center of each horizontal end plate portion 10, and this mounting hole 13 is arranged in a position separated from the surface 3C of the front plate portion 3 along the cross direction of the horizontal end plate portion 10 at a distance which is substantially identical to the distance L between the center of each mounting hole 7 and the surface 3C of the front end portion 3. Further, a mounting hole 14 is formed in the longitudinal center of the rear vertical end plate portion 12, and the center of this mounting hole 14 is arranged in a position separated from the surface 10A of the horizontal end plate portion 10 along the cross direction of the vertical end plate portion 12 at a distance which is substantially identical to the distance L. Due to the end plate bodies 9 provided in the form member 1 according to this embodiment, it is possible to connect end portions of two form members as described later with reference to Fig. 18, as well as to improve rigidity in the vicinity of the end portions of the form members. If it is not necessary to connect/fix end portions of such form members with/to each other, or no high strength is required in the vicinity of the end portions of the form members, however, it is also possible to employ a form member 101 which is engaged with no end plate bodies 9 on its end portions, as shown in Fig. 29. While the inwardly projecting reinforcing thick portions 5B are provided on the forward ends of the pair of rear plate portions 5 forming the form member body 2 in the concrete molding form member 1 according to this embodiment, these reinforcing thick portions 5B serve as ribs for increasing the strength of the rear plate portions 5 which are pressed/held by a clip on end portions thereof when two form members are connected with/fixed to each other by a specific form member connector such as the clip holding the rear plate portions 5, as described later with reference to Fig. 11. Therefore, when the form members are connected with/fixed to each other not by such a clip-type form member connector but in a manner described later with reference to Figs. 12 to 14, for example, it is not necessary to provide the reinforcing thick portions 5B since no such strength is required for the rear plate portions 5 in this case. The longitudinal or cross section of the form member 1 is not restricted to the shape shown in the aforementioned embodiment, but various modifications are available in response to the strength as required. Figs. 30A to 30C illustrate three types of sectional shapes in the vicinity of longitudinal or transverse end portions of form members. Fig. 30A shows a longitudinal or transverse U-shaped end portion of a form member whose inner side is substantially in the form of a cylindrical surface to have thick corner portions. Referring to Fig. 30B, on the other hand, reinforcing ribs are provided in the vicinity of longitudinal or transverse end portions of a form member. Referring to Fig. 30C, further, longitudinal or transverse end portions of a form member are in the form of cylinders having rectangular sections. Due to such modifications of the sectional shape, rigidity is reinforced particularly in the vicinity of the end portions of the form members, thereby providing form members capable of forming concrete formworks having high pressure resistance. Connectors which are employed as auxiliary materials for assembling a concrete formwork through the concrete molding form member 1 according to this embodiment are now described with reference to Figs. 5 to 8. Figs. 5 and 6 show a connector 21 having a U-shaped section, as a first exemplary connector. This connector 21 is provided with a long base plate portion 22 having a cross-directional size 2L which is substantially twice the distance L between each of the mounting holes 7 and the surface 3C, and a pair of connecting plate portions 23, having the same cross-directional size 2L as the base plate portion 22, perpendicularly extending from cross-directional edges of the base plate portion 22 to face each other, while the base plate portion 22 and the connecting portions 23 are integrally formed by a fiber reinforced plastic member. Further, surfaces 22A and 23A of the base plate portion 22 and the connecting plate portions 23 are flatly formed while a plurality of mounting holes 24 are provided in the cross-directional center of each connecting plate portion 23 in longitudinal positions corresponding to those of the mounting holes 6 and 7 provided in the form member body 2. The distance L between each mounting hole 24 and the surface 22A of the base plate portion 22 is identical to that between each mounting hole 7 or 8 of the form member 1 and the surface 3C or 4A. Figs. 7 and 8 show a connector 31 having an L-shaped section, as a second exemplary connector. This connector 31 is formed by a pair of connecting plate portions 32 which are integrally molded in an L shape by a fiber reinforced plastic material to have flatly formed surfaces 32A. Each connecting plate portion 32 is provided in its cross-sectional center with a plurality of mounting holes 33 in longitudinal positions corresponding to the respective mounting holes 6, 7 and 8 of the form member body 2 at prescribed spaces, and the distance L between each mounting hole 33 and an outer angular corner 32B of the connecting plate portion 32 is set to be identical to that between each mounting hole 7 or 8 of the form member 1 and the surface 3C. It is possible to form various concrete molding form panels by properly combining the form members 1 and the auxiliary materials 21 according to this embodiment, as described later. Depending on the manners of structuring the form panels, the mounting holes 6, 7 and 13 are located on concrete molding surfaces, and each of the mounting holes 6, 7 and 13 is closed as shown in Fig. 31E by a synthetic resin plug 61 shown in Figs. 31A to 31D, for preventing leakage of the concrete as placed from the mounting holes 6, 7 and 13. Each of the mounting holes 6, 7 and 13 of the form member body 2 can alternatively be closed by a plug 62 shown in Figs. 32A to 32D. This plug 62 is provided in the center of its grip portion with a circular opening 62a, so that the same can be readily gripped by the fingers of an operator or with a holder in attachment/detachment to/from each mounting hole 6. A portion 62b of the plug 62 to be engaged with the mounting hole 6 is divided into four, so that its outer diameter is widened on the forward end. Due to this shape, it is possible to readily reduce the outer diameter of the forward end of the portion 62b for engaging the plug 62 in the mounting hole 6, so that the forward end of the engaged portion 62b is stopped on the outer peripheral edge of the mounting hole 6 in the engaged state, to reliably fix the plug 62. Fig. 32D is a sectional view showing the plug 62 which is engaged with the mounting hole 6 of the form member body 2 through a mounting hole protective cup 63. The mounting hole protective cup 63, which is shaped as shown in Figs. 33A and 33B, is made of a metal such as stainless, for example. Two modes of each end plate body 9 which is engaged with either end of the form member body 2 are now described with reference to Figs. 34A, 34B, 35A and 35B. An end plate body 9a shown in Figs. 34A and 34B is formed by folding a single plate in a plane shape which is sized to be engaged with the inner side of the form member body 2, so that an upper end surface of the end plate body 9a is bonded/fixed in a state being flush with an end surface of the form member body 2 as shown in Fig. 34B when the end plate body 9a is engaged in the end of the form member body 2 as shown in Fig. 34A. In an end plate body 9b shown in Figs. 35A and 35B, on the other hand, an upper plate portion 10b is formed to be larger than that of the end plate body 9a appearing in Figs. 34A and 34B as shown in Fig. 35A, so that the upper plate portion 10b entirely covers the end surface of the form member body 2 in engagement with the end portion thereof, as shown in Fig. 35B. Further, the upper plate portion 10b is provided on lower portions of its horizontal sides with a pair of engaging portions 63 which are inserted and engaged in the space enclosed with the front plate portion 3, the side plate portions 4 and the rear plate portions 5 of the form member body 2, so that the outer peripheral side portions of the end plate body 9b and the inner peripheral side portions of the form member body 2 are substantially entirely in contact and engaged with each other, thereby improving the strength at the end poriton of the form member 1. Description is now made on a form member connector which is employed for connecting the form members 1 according to this embodiment with the connectors 21 and 31 for assembling a concrete molding formwork with reference to Figs. 9 to 14, 36, 37A and 37B. Figs. 9 to 11 show a form member connecting clip 41, as a first exemplary form member connector. This form member connecting clip 41 comprises an insertional shaft portion 42, a first holding portion 43, a grip portion 44 and a second holding portion 45, which are integrally formed by bending an elastic wire. In the insertional shaft portion 42, the length between a base end 42A and a free forward end 42B is set to be longer than the lateral width of each rear plate portion 5 of the form member body 2. A front end 43A of the first holding portion 43 rearwardly extends from the base end 42A of the insertional shaft portion 42 in a perpendicularly bent manner. The grip portion 44 is perpendicularly bent at a rear end 43B of the first holding portion 43, to transversely extend similarly to the insertional shaft portion 42. The second holding portion 45 is perpendicularly bent at a forward end 44A of the grip portion 44, to be opposed to the first holding portion 43. A forward end 45A of the second holding portion 45 is transversely outwardly bent to define a free end. A synthetic resin spacer 46 having an outer diameter which is receivable in each of the mounting holes 7 and 13 is engaged with the insertional shaft portion 42. In order to connect/fix a pair of form members 1 with/to each other by the form member connecting clip 41 having the aforementioned structure, the insertional shaft portion 42 is transversely inserted in butted mounting holes 7 (or 13) of the pair of form members 1 which are aligned and brought into contact with each other as shown in Fig. 11, through the spacer 46. In this state, the grip portion 44 is gripped and rotated either clockwise or anticlockwise about the insertional shaft portion 42, so that a pair of rear plate portions 5 are held between the first and second holding portions 43 and 45. The form member connecting clip 41 may be made of synthetic resin, in place of the wire. It is also possible to employ a form member connecting clip 141 shown in Fig. 36 as the form member connecting member. This form member connecting clip 141 has an insertional shaft portion 142, a first holding portion 143, a grip portion 144 and a second holding portion 145 corresponding to the insertional shaft portion 42, the first holding portion 43, the grip portion 44 and the second holding portion 45 of the aforementioned form member connecting clip 41 respectively. However, this form member connecting clip 141 has no portion corresponding to the synthetic resin spacer 46 or the bent forward end 45A of the second holding portion 45 provided in the form member connecting clip 41. It is possible to apply this form member connecting clip 141 to two types of form member connecting portions shown in Figs. 37A and 37B, by properly setting the lengths of the respective portions. Fig. 37C shows a plan view showing an exemplary T-shaped concrete molding formwork which is assembled through the same type of form member connecting clips 141 in such two modes. Referring to Figs. 37A to 37C, the insertional shaft portion 142 or the second holding portion 145 of each form member connecting clip 141 is inserted in each mounting hole of each form member body 2 through a mounting hole protective cup 63 to be temporarily tacked thereto, so that the clip 141 is rotated about the inserted portion in connection/fixation, to be fixed while holding the rear plate portions 5 of the pair of form members 1 as shown in Fig. 36. Such a form member connecting clip 41 can be formed by simply folding a single metal bar or the like to be applicable in two different modes, whereby the cost for the connecting member can be reduced. Figs. 12 to 14 show a form member connecting bolt 51 as a second exemplary form member connecting portion. This form member connecting bolt 51 comprises a bolt body 52, a nut 53 and a clamp lever 54. The bolt body 52 is provided on its first and second ends with a male screw portion 52A and an expanding slot 52B respectively. The nut 53 is fitted with the male screw portion 52A and rotated about the axis of the bolt body 52, to be reciprocative along the axial direction. The clamp lever 54 has a bent surface 54A provided on its longitudinal forward end and a clamp surface 54B defined by its side surface. This clamp lever 54 is coupled through a pin 55 in a state engaged in the expanding slot 52B of the insertional shaft portion 52, to be rotatable about the pin 55. The distance r between the pin 55 and the clamp surface 54B is set to be slightly longer than the distance R between the same and the longitudinal forward end of the clamp lever 54 so that the pin 55 is eccentric, whereby clamping force acts upon rotation of the clamp lever 54. Description is now made on an exemplary assembly of form members 1 and connectors 21 and 31 with the aforementioned form member connecting clips 41 and form member connecting bolts 51. Fig. 15 shows an exemplary structure of a formwork for molding a concrete foundation A. Referring to Fig. 15, illustration of the form member connecting clips 41 and the form member connecting bolts 51 is omitted. In this exemplary structure, a plurality of form members 1 are connected with each other so that cross sections thereof extend linearly thereby forming a pair of flat panels P1, and a first angular corner panel P2 is formed by connecting three U-shaped connectors 21 with each other on one side surface of an L-shaped angular corner, while a second angular corner panel P3 is formed by connecting two U-shaped connectors 21 with each other. The angular corner panels P2 and P3 are connected with each other by an L-shaped connector 31. As shown in Fig. 15, it is possible to set the flat panels P1 at desired lengths by interposing the U-shaped connectors 21 between the form members 1 which are so arranged that cross sections thereof extend linearly. An end portion is closed with a plywood board B which is fixed to side plate portions 4 of the endmost form members 1. Referring to Fig. 15, one-dot chain lines show positions for mounting separators. In the aforementioned exemplary structure shown in Fig. 15, surfaces 3C and 4A of the front plate portions 3 and the side plate portions 4 serve as concrete molding surfaces in the form members 1, while surfaces 22A of base plate portions 22 serve as concrete molding surfaces and surfaces 23A of connecting plate portions 23 serve as connecting surfaces in the U-shaped connectors 21 respectively. Fig. 16 shows such an exemplary structure that an opposite pair of form members 1 are connected with/fixed to each other by an additional form member 1 which is perpendicularly combined therewith. Namely, the additional form member 1 is perpendicularly built into a clearance between the opposite form members 1 through the mounting holes 6 which are adapted to receive separators in general. In this exemplary structure, surfaces 3C of the opposite front plate portions 3 serve both as concrete molding surfaces and connecting surfaces. Fig. 17 shows another exemplary structure which is different from the above. In this exemplary structure, rear plate portions 5 of an additional form member 1 are connected to side plate portions 4 of an opposite pair of form members 1 while clearances between the rear plate portions 5 and the back surface 3D of the front plate portion 3 of the additional form member 1 are closed with L-shaped connectors 31, thereby forming flat surfaces which are flush with opposite front plate portions 3. According to this exemplary structure, the back surface 3D of the front plate portion 3 which is positioned on the end portion and first surfaces 32A of the L-shaped connectors 31 serve as concrete molding surfaces. In order to form the foundation for a residence by the form members 1, for example, a plurality of form members 1 may be longitudinally connected with each other in transversely directed states as shown in Fig. 18. In this case, surfaces 10A of end plate portions 10 of end plate bodies 9 also serve as concrete molding surfaces. Description is now made on appearances in finished states of concrete molding form panels which are assembled in various shapes by the form members 1 according to this embodiment and the connectors 21 and 31 with reference to Figs. 19 to 25. Fig. 19 shows an exemplary structure of concrete molding form panels formed by vertically assembling form members 1 with each other so that cross sections thereof extend linearly. In this exemplary structure, surfaces 4A of side plate portions 4 serve as connecting surfaces. Fig. 20 shows an exemplary structure of form panels which are formed by assembling form members 1 in the form of a cross, so that surfaces 4A and 5A of side plate portions 4 and rear plate portions 5 serve as connecting portions at angular corners respectively. Fig. 22 shows an exemplary structure of form panels which are formed by assembling form members 1 in a T shape, so that surfaces 4A and 5A of side plate portions 4 and rear plate portions 5 serve as connecting portions at angular corners respectively. In this exemplary structure, triple U-shaped connectors 21 are employed to adjust the dimensions of the form panels. Fig. 22 shows an exemplary structure of form panels which are formed by assembling transversely directed form members 1 with each other so that surfaces 4A and 10A of side plate portions 4 and end plate portions 10 serve as connecting surfaces. Fig. 23 shows an exemplary structure of form panels which are formed by transversely connecting form members 1 with upper ends of vertically directed form members 1 so that surfaces 4A of side plate portions 4 as well as surfaces 4A and 10A of the strip side plate portions 4 and end plate portions 10 serve as connecting surfaces respectively. Fig. 24 shows an exemplary structure of form panels which are formed by transversely connecting form members 1 with vertically connected form members 1 so that surfaces 4A and 10A of side plate portions 4 and end plate portions 10 serve as connecting surfaces respectively. Fig. 25 shows an exemplary structure of form panels which are formed by assembling form members 1 in the form of a hollow prism for molding a pillar, so that four panels which are formed by triple form members 1 are connected with each other by four L-shaped connectors 31. In this exemplary structure, surfaces 4A and 32A of side plate portions 4 and connecting plate portions 32 serve as connecting surfaces. As hereinabove illustrated, it is possible to assemble concrete molding form panels of various structures by employing the form members 1 according to this embodiment, while the form member 1 according to this embodiment is not only capable of forming the aforementioned various structures but has excellent strength as compared with the conventional wood, synthetic resin and metal form members, and can be reduced to about 1/3 in weight in the same shape. Consequently, it is possible to lengthen the form member 1 to the maximum size which can be handled by a single operator, thereby increasing the area of each form member. Therefore, a single operator can assemble a single stage form panel with no footstool, as shown in Fig. 26. Due to the high strength, further, it is not necessary to support a plurality of form members 1 which are connected in parallel with each other by square bar-shaped support members for transversely bridging and fixedly supporting the same, but extremely excellent workability can be attained. When conventional wood form members (or synthetic resin form members) C shown in Fig. 27 are employed, on the other hand, it is necessary to assemble the same in two stages with a footstool since the length of a form member which can be handled by a single operator is limited due to the weight thereof, leading to inferior workability. Further, it is necessary to support the form members C by square bar-shaped support members D, due to requirement in view of strength. In the case of metal form members E shown in Fig. 28, further, the length of a form member which can be handled by a single operator is limited to half that of the wood form member due to its heavy weight, although the form member has high strength. Thus, it is necessary to assemble the form members E in four stages with a footstool, leading to the most inferior workability. Thus, the form member 1 according to this embodiment and the connectors 21 and 31 not only enable combinations which cannot be attained by the conventional form members, but can remarkably improve workability in assembling and demolition. Fig. 38 shows a state of placing concrete 92 from a concrete supply pipe 91 into a concrete formwork having a cross concrete molding portion which is formed by connecting/fixing a plurality of form members 1 according to this embodiment with/to each other through form member connectors 41. While the end plate bodies 9 are provided on the form member body 2 in the form member 1 according to this embodiment, the form member 101 provided with no end plate bodies 9 may alternatively be employed as shown in Fig. 29, when the form member 101 is used in a vertically directed state. In this case, it is possible to partially cut the form member 101 at need. The dimensions of the form members 1 and 101 according to the aforementioned embodiments are not univocally decided but the respective dimensions such as the lengths and/or the widths can be properly set such that a plurality of form members having different dimensions may be previously prepared so that various form members are employed at need. Description is now made on an embodiment of a form member space holder for fixing opposite form members to each other with a prescribed space in order to assemble a concrete formwork by the form members according to the present invention, with reference to Figs. 39 to 42D. Referring to Fig. 39, a pair of form members 1 are opposed to each other so that positions of corresponding separator mounting holes 6 thereof are aligned with each other while holding a prescribed space therebetween for forming a desired concrete placing portion, and a separator 131 is inserted in each separator mounting hole 6 of one form member 1 so that a pair of attachments 132 and clamp members 133 are mounted on both ends of the separator 131 in each separator mounting hole 6, thereby fixing the form members 1 to each other. Referring to Fig. 39, transversely adjacent form members 1 are connected with/fixed to each other by form member connecting clips 141. Fig. 40 shows such a state that two sets of four form members 1, i.e., eight form members 1 in total, are assembled with each other by the form member space holders according to this embodiment through the concrete placing portion. Fig. 41 is a plan sectional view showing a pair of opposite form members 1 which are fixed to each other by the form member space holder according to this embodiment. The separator 131, each attachment 132 and each clamp member 133 forming the space holder according to this embodiment are coupled with each other in employment, as shown in Fig. 42A. Among these elements, the attachment 132 is shaped as shown in Figs. 42B to 42D, so that a male screw 131a provided on a first end of the separator 131 is fitted with a female screw portion 132a which is provided on a first end thereof. On the other hand, a male screw 133a which is provided on a first end of the clamp member 133 is fitted with a female screw portion 132b provided on a second end of the attachment 132. A male screw 133b is provided on a second end of the clamp member 133 to be fitted with the nut 134, which is employed for fixing a bar-shaped form member support member for bridging a plurality of form members as arranged, along the direction of arrangement. As shown in Fig. 39 and 40, for example, a support member 124 is mounted on each clamp member 133, to be employed for supporting a thin cylindrical form member support member 126 which is fixed to bridge the arranged form members 1, similarly to the support member 124 of the conventional form member space holder shown in Fig. 55. In order to fix the opposite pair of form members 1 with the form member space holder as shown in Fig. 41, the separator 131 is inserted in the separator mounting hole 6 provided in one form member 1 while fixing relative positions of the opposite pair of form members 1, for example, so that small diameter portions of the pair of attachments 132 are fitted with the male screws 131a which are provided on both ends of the separator 131 while being engaged with the separator mounting holes 6 through mounting hole protective cups 63. Thereafter plate type check bars 135 are mounted on end portions, being close to the attachments 132, of the clamp members 133 which are fitted with second ends of the attachments 132 respectively. The plate-type check bars 135 have recesses for mounting on the clamp members 133 in centers of elastic rectangular flat plate members, so that portions close to both ends thereof are in contact with the pairs of rear plate portions 5 of the form members 1 and slightly elastically deformed in such mounting states for pressing the attachments 132 by elastic force thereby fixing the attachments 132 to the form members 1. As shown in Fig. 41, the separator 131 may be inserted in a sleeve 136 before assembling the form member space holder, so that the separator 131 is removed to leave the sleeve 136 after concrete placing. In this case, the sleeve 136 is made of a material having low heat conductivity similarly to concrete. When such a sleeve 136 is not employed, the metal separator 131 is left in the concrete as placed. If the concrete forms a wall having temperature difference between the interior and the exterior thereof, heat conduction is caused between the interior and the exterior of the wall through the separator 131, to exert a bad influence on heat insulation of the concrete wall. When the sleeve 136 is employed so that the separator 131 is removed after concrete molding and the sleeve 136 is filled up with a member having heat conductivity similarly to the concrete, however, it is possible to avoid the aforementioned problem of deterioration in heat insulation of the concrete wall. According to the form member space holder of this embodiment, as hereinabove described, it is possible to readily fix a pair of opposite form members to each other with relatively simple components, thereby remarkably contributing to improvement in workability for assembling a concrete molding formwork with the inventive form members. Another embodiment of the inventive form member space holder is now described with reference to Figs. 43 to 46. The basic structure of this embodiment is in common with that of the aforementioned embodiment described with reference to Figs. 39 to 42, and hence the following description is made only on a point of this embodiment which is different from the aforementioned embodiment. According to this embodiment, a T-shaped clamp member 151 consisting of a plastic molding is employed in place of the metal clamp member 133 employed in the embodiment shown in Figs. 39 to 42. Also in this embodiment, structures similar to those shown in Figs. 39 and 40 are applied as to a separator 131, check bars 135, a form member connecting clip and the like. As shown in Figs. 45A and 45B in enlarged manners, the clamp member 151 according to this embodiment is provided with a form member support member presser portion 151a and a female screw 151b on first and second ends thereof respectively. As shown in Fig. 45C, the female screw 151b is fitted with a male screw 131a of the separator 131. As to the form member support member presser portion 151a, on the other hand, metal thin cylindrical form member support members 126 are pressed against form members 1 so that outer peripheries thereof are engaged along inner curved surfaces of such form member support member presser portions 151a, as shown in Fig. 46. According to the form member space holder of this embodiment, it is possible to hold a space between opposite form members at a prescribed distance by a simple operation of fitting the male screw 131a provided on the end of each separator 131 with the female screw 151b of each T-shaped clamp member 151, with no requirement for members corresponding to the attachments 132 and the nuts 134 employed in the aforementioned embodiment shown in Figs. 39 to 42. At the same time, a vertical pair of thin cylindrical form member support members 126 are supported by the form member support member presser portion 151a of the clamp member 151, whereby the clamp member 151 can serve both as the clamp member 133 and the support member 124 provided in the aforementioned embodiment. Further, a plastic molding can be applied as the clamp member 151 according to this embodiment, whereby the production cost can be extremely reduced. Still another embodiment of the form member space holder is now described with reference to Figs. 47 to 49. The form member space holder according to this embodiment is different from the aforementioned embodiment shown in Figs. 43 to 46 in a point that an L-shaped clamp member 152 is employed in place of the T-shaped clamp member 151 of the aforementioned embodiment. As shown in Fig. 47, a separator 131, check bars 135, a form member connecting clip and the like are similar to those of the embodiment shown in Fig. 44. Fig. 48A is a front elevational view of the clamp member 152 according to this embodiment. A plan view of the clamp member 152 is identical to Fig. 45A for the aforementioned embodiment. Also in the form member space holder according to this embodiment, it is possible to hold a space between opposite form members at a prescribed distance while supporting thin cylindrical form member support members 126 as shown in Fig. 49, by a simple operation of fitting a male screw 131a of each separator 131 with a female screw 152b of each clamp member 152 as shown in Fig. 48B. The clamp member 152 according to this embodiment can also be formed by a plastic molding, thereby reducing the production cost in addition to improvement in working efficiency. While the inventive concrete molding form member is only applied to a concrete formwork for forming a wall-shaped portion vertically extending along a building in each of the aforementioned embodiments, the form member according to the present invention is also effectively applicable to execution of a concrete formwork for forming the so-called slab, which is a concrete member for forming the floor of a building, as described below. In a form member according to the present invention which is applied to assembling of a concrete formwork for forming a slab, a pair of through holes 15 having the same inner diameters are provided in the vicinity of horizontal side ends of an end plate body 10 of a form member 201, as shown in Fig. 50, for example. Due to the pair of through holes 15, it is possible to longitudinally connect two form members 201 with each other by longitudinally serially arranging the form members 201 so that the through holes 15 thereof are opposed to each other and inserting pipe-shaped long bars 150, which are sized to be engaged with the through holes 15, in the opposite through holes 15. Fig. 51 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line X - X in Fig. 52B. When pairs of through holes 15 are formed in the end plate bodies 10 provided on upper and lower ends of each form member 201 respectively, it is also possible to longitudinally connect three or more form members with each other in a similar manner to the above. The form members 201 which are longitudinally connected with each other can be arbitrarily contracted along arrow A shown in Fig. 52A, due to sliding movement between the connecting pipe-shaped long bars 150 and the respective form members 201. The pipe-shaped long bars 150 are stored in respective spaces which are enclosed with front plate portions 3, pairs of side plate portions 4, pairs of rear plate portions 5 and pairs of reinforcing thick portions 5B of the form members 201 and engaged to be substantially in contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the spaces, whereby no transverse misalignment is caused between the form members 201 and the pipe-shaped long bars 150. Further, the pipe-shaped log bars 150 themselves serve as reinforcing members, whereby the form members 201 as connected can attain sufficient strength against transverse loads. Fig. 53 shows a state of building a concrete formwork for forming a slab with the form members 201 which are longitudinally connected with each other. Referring to Fig. 53, horizontally arranged form members 201 which are now being assembled with each other are adapted to form a bottom surface of the concrete formwork for forming a slab. Plywood boards or the like are engaged in the portions exposing pipe-shaped long bars 150 for connecting the form members 201 with each other, so that overall form member surfaces for forming the floor of the slab are laid with no clearances. The existent metal form member requires large-sized support means due to its heavy weight, while it is difficult to build a concrete formwork for forming a slab with existent plastic form members, due to a high cost. In general, therefore, a concrete formwork for forming a slab is inevitably formed by plywood form members. Under such circumstances, the form members according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 50 to 52 remarkably improve applicability to a slab due to the specific advantages such as lightweightness, high strength and retractability. The advantages of the form member according to this embodiment are applicable not only to a concrete formwork for forming a slab but to a concrete formwork for forming a wall, as a matter of course. Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the scope of the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
