Claim:
A device for forming concrete comprising: a first form dimensioned to surround substantially one-half of a predetermined object from a preselected distance; a second form dimensioned to surround substantially one-half of the predetermined object from substantially the same preselected distance, said first form includes first and second rectangularly configured arms, when taking side views of said arms, and said second form includes first and second rectangularly configured arms, when taking side views of said arms; means for detachably joining end portions of said first and second forms; and means for removably securing said first and second forms to the predetermined object, said securing means comprising: a first clamp bar joined to said first and second arms of said first form; a second clamp bar joined to said first and second arms of said second form; opposing first clamp members slidably secured to said first clamp bar, each of said opposing first clamp members including at least one locking plate for maintaining a selected position for a respective first clamp member upon said first clamp bar, said locking plate having means for releasing said maintained selected position, said first clamp members including means for manually urging locking pads into forcible engagement with the predetermined object; and opposing second clamp members slidably secured to said second clamp bar, each of said opposing second clamp members including at least one locking plate for maintaining a selected position for a respective second clamp member upon said second clamp bar, said locking plate having means for releasing said maintained selected position, said second clamp members including means for manually urging locking pads into forcible engagement with the predetermined object; whereby said joined first and second forms remain stationary as concrete is poured into said joined first and second forms to ultimately harden and configure a foundation about the predetermined object.
