Claim:
A connection between a holder ( 4 , 5 ) and a plurality of anchor bolts ( 2 ), comprising: a. the holder ( 4 , 5 ); b. a template ( 1 ) releasably attached to the holder ( 4 , 5 ), the template ( 1 ) comprising, 1. a central elongated support ( 12 ), 2. a plurality of pairs of primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 ) connected to the central elongated support ( 12 ) and having side edges disposed at an angle to the central elongated support ( 12 ), the pairs of primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 ) being spaced along the central elongated support ( 12 ) from each other, each of the primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 ) having a closed perimeter opening ( 22 ) therein for receiving one of the anchor bolts ( 2 ) there through, the closed perimeter openings ( 22 ) in each pair of primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 ) being in alignment so as to receive the same one of the anchor bolts ( 2 ); c. the plurality of anchor bolts ( 2 ) received by the plurality of pairs of anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 44 , 44 , 45 ); d. a plurality of fasteners ( 20 ) releasably connected to the plurality of anchor bolts ( 2 ) and supported by the template ( 1 ) to releasably attach the anchor bolts ( 2 ) to the template ( 1 ); and e. one or more strengthening flanges ( 18 ) connected to the primary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 34 , 44 ), the strengthening flanges ( 18 ) being disposed at an angle to the primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 ) and extending between the corresponding primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 15 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 ), the strengthening flanges ( 18 ) being formed from the side edges of the primary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 14 , 34 , 44 ), the strengthening flanges ( 18 ) being able to contact the secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 15 , 35 and 45 ) but the strengthening flanges not being directly connected to the secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms ( 15 , 35 and 45 ).
