Abstract:
A form tie system for efficiently and securely tying together panels of a wall form with an elongated member. The form tie system generally includes a first holder which is adapted to be positioned adjacent to a first panel and a second holder which is adapted to be positioned adjacent to a second panel of a wall form. Each holder includes a grip such as a strand chuck which is adapted to securely retain an elongated member that extends from the first holder to the second holder to tie the panels of the wall form together. One of the holders may comprise an adjustable holder including an adjustable nut utilized to bear against the strand chuck to increase tension in the elongated member. After formation of the wall, the elongated member may be cut and the holders released prior to removing the wall forms from around the completed wall.

Claim (Index 11):
A form tie system, comprising:\n a wall form comprising a first panel and a second panel, wherein the first panel is distally spaced with respect to the first panel so as to form a gap between the first panel and the second panel, the gap being adapted to receive a volume of concrete; an elongated member connected between the first panel and the second panel, the elongated member being adapted to tie the first panel to the second panel, wherein the elongated member is comprised of a wire rope; a first holder for receiving and retaining the elongated member, the first holder being adapted to be positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the first panel of the wall form; a second holder for receiving and retaining the elongated member, the second holder being adapted to be positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the second panel of the wall form; wherein the first holder comprises a first grip for gripping the elongated member within the first holder, wherein the first grip is adapted to selectively clamp the elongated member within the first holder; wherein the second holder comprises a second grip for gripping the elongated member within the second holder, wherein the second grip is adapted to selectively clamp the elongated member within the second holder; and wherein the first holder, the second holder, and the elongated member are operable to support the first panel and the second panel of the wall form in a desired position and orientation.
