Patent ID: 7086640

Claim:
A form puller device for extracting the concrete form work from the edges of a concrete slab section after the concrete has cured; the form puller device comprising: (a) a lever assembly; (b) a fulcrum assembly; (c) a form pulling member; and (d) an embedded element extraction assembly; the fulcrum assembly including a base having a vertically oriented fulcrum tube extending upwardly from the base; the lever assembly including a tubular lever member pivotally connected to a top end of the fulcrum tube of the fulcrum assembly and having a first end rigidly connected to a U-shaped handle assembly and a second end pivotally connected to the form pulling member; the form pulling member including a form pulling member tube having a top end and a bottom end and a number of pivot holes spaced along a top portion thereof to allow the form pulling member to be pivotally attached to the second end of the lever assembly at various heights along the length thereof and a section of angled stock connected to the bottom end of the form pulling member tube; the angled stock being perpendicular to the form pulling member tube for positioning beneath a section of concrete forming material so that the forming material can be extracted as needed by pushing down on the U-shaped handle assembly of the lever assembly when the angle stock is in place; the embedded element extraction assembly including a body component for engaging an embedded element, and an attachment component for connecting the body component to the angled stock.
