  • Publication number: 20070107179
    Abstract: A device for removing modular forms comprises an elongated shaft having a rearward end and a forward end. A pulling head is fixedly coupled to a forward end of the shaft. The pulling head engages a form to be removed from a wall. A slide hammer is slidably coupled to the shaft for generating an impact force to the form via the pulling head to thereby break a bond between the form and the wall.

  • Publication number: 20050120672
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing modular forms includes a lever arm having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end. A projection such as a hardened steel pin extends beyond the first longitudinal end for engaging a hole defined in a form. The projection extends in a direction generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the lever arm. A fulcrum is coupled to the lever arm. The fulcrum is disposed closer to the first longitudinal end relative to the second longitudinal end. A knuckle guard is coupled to and is disposed on a same side of the lever arm relative to the fulcrum. The knuckle guard is disposed closer to the second longitudinal end relative to the first longitudinal end.

  • Patent number: 6817590
    Abstract: A method and tool for removing modular concrete forms from underlying rigid concrete are disclosed. The tool includes a lever end, a fulcrum, and a claw end having a notch particularly adapted to engage a knob that protrudes from a surface of the modular concrete form. The method includes engaging the claw end of the tool with the knob, abutting the fulcrum against rigid concrete adjacent the modular form, and exerting a force on the lever end in the direction of the adjacent rigid concrete.

The method includes engaging the claw end of the tool with the knob, abutting the fulcrum against rigid concrete adjacent the modular form, and exerting a force on the lever end in the direction of the adjacent rigid concrete. Alternatively, the tool can include a head having a projection to engage a slot defined in a modular form.
