1. A concrete dowel placement device, comprising:
- a dowel receiving sleeve having a substantially cylindrical body with an outer surface, an open proximal end, a distal end, and an inner hollow compartment extending longitudinally therethrough;
a flange formed to extend perpendicularly and completely about the open end of the dowel receiving sleeve; and
at least one tooth-like locking structure integrally formed on the outer surface of the sleeve proximate to the inner flange surface.

Abstract
Provided herein are a concrete dowel placement device and methods of use. The device 100 generally comprises a dowel receiving sleeve 110, a flange 120 formed to extend perpendicularly and completely about an open end b of the dowel receiving sleeve and at least one tooth-like locking structure 140a,b integrally formed on the outer surface 111 of the sleeve and proximate to the flange. The combination of the flange and the tooth-like locking structure secures the deviced to a concrete form so that a dowel rod 150 or piece of rebar placed therein maintains its position during a concrete pour.

12. A concrete dowel placement device, comprising:
-
a dowel receiving sleeve having a substantially cylindrical body with an outer surface, an open proximal end, a distal end, and an inner hollow compartment extending longitudinally therethrough; a stop on the receiving sleeve proximate to the distal end and extending a distance into the inner hollow compartment; a flange formed to extend perpendicularly and completely about the open end of the dowel receiving sleeve, said flange having substantially flat outer surface and inner surfaces; and at least one reverse tooth integrally formed from the outer surface of the sleeve proximate to the inner flange surface, said reverse tooth having a distal end projecting angularly from the outer sleeve surface toward the inner flange surface and a proximal end formed on the outer surface of the sleeve. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
