  • Patent number: 4338757
    Abstract: Before a main wall is prepared by pouring concrete, a profile element with anchor steel rods extended through its bottoms is fitted to a planking in such a way that a cavity is created between the bottoms of the profile element and the planking. The profile element has two side walls and two bottoms lying in the same plane. The anchor steel rods extended through the bottoms form U-shaped loops on the one side of the element, whereas the end portions of the anchor steel rods bent in right angles from the legs of the U-shaped portions lie on the other side of the element. The surface of the profile element is roughened and its side walls enclose each a sharp angle with the bottoms. By means of the profile element locked in the concrete of the completed main wall a groove is formed in the outer face of the concrete main wall out of which groove the end portions of the anchor steel rods can be bent outward without additional works, such as scratching-out of a plastic body as per the prior art.
