First Claim
Patent Images
1. A concrete section joint device for placement prior to pouring a concrete slab surface requiring an expansion joint, comprising:
- at least two support components shaped for holding an expansion joint and at least two rods attached to said at least two components wherein said rods are substantially parallel to each other, said at least support two components are in planes substantially parallel to each other and said rods are approximately perpendicular to said parallel planes.

Abstract
The invention provides a concrete section expansion joint holder that holds an expansion joint such that the resulting joint is straight, wherein the holder does not need to be removed either during or after the pouring of the concrete, thereby allowing more efficient pouring of concrete over large layout surfaces. Also provided is method of pouring concrete using the expansion joint holder. The present invention is used in the construction industry to create concrete sidewalks and roads.
