Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new and improved form tie removing device that allows for easy and convenient removal of form ties from concrete walls. The device includes a housing with a tool bit and a distal end that can be inserted into a power tool for rotating and releasing the form tie. The device is designed to prevent the need for hard-to-use or difficult-to-abuse devices that are commonly used in construction.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the twisting motion can cause the worker to injure his or her hand due to grinding their knuckles against the wall.
Additionally, form ties can rip from the pressure of the pliers, making them even more difficult to remove from walls.
However, these devices fail to provide a housing having one or more apertures that enable a user to view the positioning of a form tie disposed therein.
Further, these devices fail to include a tool bit extending from the housing that is configured to connect to a power tool.

Abstract

A device for removing form ties from concrete. The form tie removing device includes a housing having an open first end and a second end, wherein the housing defines an interior volume that can receive a form tie. One or more apertures are positioned along the housing, wherein the apertures allow a user to view the position of the form tie within the interior volume of the housing. A tool bit extends from the second end of the housing, wherein a distal end of the tool bit can be inserted into a power tool, such as a rotary drill or impact driver. In use, a form tie is positioned within the housing and the tool bit is inserted into the power tool. Upon activation of the power tool, the housing rotates and releases the form tie from the surrounding area, such as concrete.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 380,565 filed on Aug. 29, 2016. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to form tie removing devices. More specifically, the present invention provides a form tie removing device having a housing configured to receive a form tie through a first end. A tool bit extends from a second end of the housing, wherein the tool bit is configured to attach to a rotary drill or other impact driver.[0003]Form ties are elongated members used to secure two construction elements together during the construction process. Conventionally, to remove form ties from a concrete wall, an individual, such as a construction worker, uses pliers to grasp and twist the form ties in order to release them from concrete or other similar material. Un...
