embodiment 1100

[0060]FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate an alternative embodiment of a concrete forming stake apparatus. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, concrete forming stake apparatus 1100 may include stake 1102, stake attachment member 1104, and base member 1106. Stake 1102 may have an elongated shape, as shown in previous figures, yet stake 1102 may have a frame structure. That is, stake 1102 may be sectioned into quadrants 1108 defined by intersecting walls 1110 along a length of stake 1102. At least a pair of orthogonally oriented walls 1112, 1114 form a central axis of stake 1102 at the intersection thereof, and intersecting walls 1110 defining a thickness of stake 1102 are distributed along the length of stake 1102 and oriented orthogonally to each of the pair of orthogonally oriented walls 1112, 1114. In combination, intersecting walls 1110 form quadrants 1108 to provide additional rigidity to the structure of stake 1102. Stake 1102 as shown in embodiment 1100 may use significantly less materia...

embodiment 1300

[0064]FIG. 13 illustrates an alternative embodiment 1300 of a stake forming apparatus. As shown, base member(s) 1302 may include top mounting port 1304 and side mounting port 1306. Top mounting port 1304 or side mounting port 1306 may be configured to secure stake(s) 1308 used in securing a concrete form. Top mounting port 1304 may extend in a vertical direction above base member 1302 and side mounting port 1306 may be positioned or orientated at any location around an axis of top mounting port 1304. In addition, while shown at a particular angle, side mounting port 1306 may extend at a fixed angle relative to base member 1302 or top mounting port 1304 to permit the opening of side mounting port 1306 to face any outward direction. Base member 1302 may incorporate more than one side mounting port 1306 (not shown). Furthermore, both top mounting port 1304 and side mounting port 1306 may be of a same or similar size and with different or similar sized openings to allow stakes 1308 to f...

embodiment 1400

[0067]FIGS. 14 and 15 illustrate an alternative embodiment of a concrete forming stake apparatus. For instance, embodiment 1400 as shown in FIG. 14, may include base member 1402 having a top mounting port 1404, a side mounting port 1406, and an edge mounting port 1408. In other aspects, base member 1402 may include similar features as those previously discussed with respect to base member 102. For instance, base member 1402 may include gussets, an adhesive layer, fastener holes, etc. Top mounting port 1404 may include a plurality of ribs 1410 to engage a stake (see FIG. 15). Ribs 1410 may be configured to snuggly fit around the outer perimeter of the stake and hold it in place by flexing in a direction away from the stake when the stake is inserted into top mounting port 1404. When the stake is engaged with top mounting port 1404, ribs 1410 may provide support to the stake and apply resistance to prevent the stake from backing out of top mounting port 1404. However, by applying forc...

Abstract

A concrete forming stake apparatus including a base member having a planar side and a stake mounting port disposed opposite the planar side. The apparatus further includes a stake attachment unit including a tubular portion that engages with the stake mounting port, and a joint connected to the tubular portion. The apparatus further includes a stake that attaches to the joint.

Description

BACKGROUND RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 339,777 filed on Oct. 31, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]Concrete forms are used to frame an area where a concrete slab is to be formed. In many instances, a concrete forming stake may be used to hold a form in place while concrete is being poured. After the concrete is poured, the stakes further provide support while the concrete is curing. Conventional concrete forming stakes are steel rods having a spike on one end and a plurality of holes traversing the stake. The holes are nail holes in which a nail may be placed to secure the stake in place against the forms. In many instances, the stakes are hammered into an adjacent subgrade or surface at an angle with respect to the plane of the subgrade or surface to provide support and resistance to movement of the forms as the concrete is poured. Stakes may also be hammered i...
