Abstract:
A concrete dowel slip tube assembly is provided for use in maintaining a planner consistency of a cured concrete slab formed on a support surface. The assembly comprises a plurality of elongate slip tubes, each having a length dimension and a tubular hollow interior compartment. Dowels are slidingly engageable to the hollow interior compartment to allow for translation along the interior compartment. A support frame defines a plurality of integral slip tube retaining members, disposed at evenly spaced locations along the support frame, the retaining members being configured to receive and engage associated slip tubes to the support frame in a common defined orientation. The support frame and the retaining members are formed as a unitary construction.

Claim (Index 1):
A concrete dowel slip tube assembly for use in maintaining planar constancy of a cured concrete slab formed on a support surface, the assembly comprising:\n a) a plurality of elongate slip tubes, each slip tube having a slip tube length dimension and a tubular hollow interior compartment having a substantially constant slip tube cross-sectional dimension; b) a plurality of dowels, each dowel being slidingly engageable within the hollow interior compartment of an associated slip tube, the dowels having a dowel length dimension and a dowel cross-sectional dimension wherein said dowel length dimension and said dowel cross sectional dimensions are less than the slip tube length and the slip tube cross sectional dimension, the dowels further having an external configuration complimentarily to the hollow interior compartment of the associated slip tube; and c) a support frame formed as a unitary structure, the support frame defining a plurality of integral slip tube retaining members disposed at evenly spaced locations along the support frame, the slip tube retaining members being configured to receive and engage the slip tubes to the support frame in a common defined orientation.
