Adjustable Anchor Support Member for Single-Formwork Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional anchor support members are difficult to use when anchor bolts are arranged at locations where the foundation does not rise, particularly when there is only one formwork separated by a distance, limiting their applicability and position adjustment.
Innovation Solution
An anchor support member that includes an attached portion, a holding portion, and a fastening portion with guide rails, guides, and coupling members, allowing for position adjustment and secure fixation to the formwork regardless of the number of formworks, with features like guide rails, guides, and coupling members enabling precise alignment and rotation prevention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional anchor support members are used with two formworks, then the anchor bolt can be supported between two fastening portions, but the support member becomes difficult to use when there is only one formwork or when formworks are separated by a predetermined distance
Solution Approach 1:
The anchor support member is designed so that the holding portion can function both as an anchor support when two formworks are present and as a positioner when only one formwork is present. The member universally adapts to different foundation configurations by allowing the holding portion to directly contact the formwork surface, eliminating the requirement for two formworks.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the anchor support member is fixed to the formwork, then the anchor bolt position is stable, but the position of the anchor bolt cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening portion is designed to allow position adjustment of the holding portion relative to the formwork before final fixation. The member transitions from a movable state during installation to a fixed state during use, enabling both position adjustment and stability.
3Measurement precision
If the anchor support member allows position adjustment, then the anchor bolt can be precisely positioned, but the member may rotate relative to the formwork
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening portion includes an asymmetric structure with a guide rail and guide that prevent rotation of the holding portion relative to the formwork. The asymmetric design ensures that the member can be positioned accurately while maintaining a fixed orientation, eliminating rotational instability.

AI summary
An anchor support member supports an anchor bolt provided to the foundation of a building, and comprises: an attaching part that is attached to a formwork of the foundation; a retaining part that is connected to the attaching part and retains the anchor bolt; and a securing part that secures the attaching part to the formwork. The securing part secures the attaching part to the formwork such that the position of the anchor support member can be adjusted in a prescribed direction.
