DOWEL DEVICE WITH CLOSED END SPEED COVER
First Claim
1. A concrete dowel placement device for attachment to a form, comprising:
- a stud having a generally tubular body, a proximal stud end and a distal stud end; and
a cover having a generally tubular body having an outer cover surface, an open proximal cover end, a closed distal cover end, and a hollow cover interior compartment extending axially therein configured to slidably receive said stud.

Abstract
Disclosed are a concrete dowel placement devices and a method of utilizing the same. A metallic stud is driven, screwed, or otherwise attached to a form. The stud may be a unitary structure, or may be a hollow tube with conventional fastening means such as nails and screws extending through and holding the hollow tube to the form. A cover having an interior compartment substantially equal in diameter to the stud is slidably placed thereon, and a first enclosed area is developed with a plurality of forms. Concrete is poured into the first enclosed area, and upon curing, the form and the stud are removed, leaving the cover embedded in the concrete. A metallic dowel is inserted into the cover, and a second enclosed area is developed with like configured forms. The metallic dowel extends into the second enclosed area. Upon pouring concrete into the second enclosed area, a cold joint is formed between the concrete of the first enclosed area and the concrete of the second enclosed area, supported and braced by the metallic dowel.

13. A method for forming a cold joint between adjoining sequentially formed slabs of concrete, the method comprising:
-
forming a first enclosed area with forms having a stud attached thereto, and a first cover attached to said stud; pouring a first slab of concrete into said first enclosed area; slidably removing said forms from said first slab of concrete upon curing, in which said stud is removed from said first cover, said first cover remaining within said first slab of concrete; inserting a dowel into said first cover remaining in said first slab of concrete; forming a second enclosed area adjacent to said first slab of concrete with said forms, said first concrete slab defining at least a part of said second enclosed area, and said dowel extending into said second enclosed area; and pouring a second slab of concrete into said second enclosed area. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
