Abstract:

Insert means for forming a void in poured concrete comprises a tubular structure formed of sheet material closed at upper and lower ends by means of an upper closure element and a lower closure element, respectively. The inner surface of the tubular structure presents a helical line of scoring extending between the bottom of the tubular structure and the upper closure element. The upper closure element is formed integrally with the tubular sheet material and constructed at an upper side thereof with holder tab means for handling the insert means and especially for lifting the upper closure element and the pulling away of the tubular structure along the line of scoring to leave a void. The tubular structure is characterized by a tapered configuration which decreases in size from the bottom to the top thereof. As a result of this tapered construction a plurality of the tubular inserts may be arranged in nested relationship and the holder tab means is operable to maintain upper closure elements of the nested inserts spaced away from one another.
