leg to transfer the load to the back of the form the distance between the pivot point and the tie loop leg is shortened which reduces the angle of tipping thus reduces the eccentric load on the bolt which would cause premature failure second since the middle leg is shorter than the form slot leg the distance of travel and the amount of frictional resistance at the load bearing point is reduced this allows the bolt to be unloaded with the blow of a hammer without completely disengaging the form slot leg reducing the tendency of the bolt to act as a projectile which could be hazardous to personnel and difficult to recover the present design is further advantageous in that having the load bearing point or edge 16l on the back of the form by the middle leg and the arrangement of the form slot leg and middle leg straddling the tie creates a stabilizing condition so that any tendency of the bolt to tip downward which would cause a bending of the tie rod would be resisted by tie rod tension any tendency of the bolt to tip upward which would pull the middle leg away from the form and bend the tie rod about the form slot leg would be controlled by the length of the tie rod and resisted by the tension load on the tie rod the double offset of this design allows the tension placed on the tie to resist the aforementioned tipping thus the design of the gang form bolt prevents tipping by this leg arrangement i e form slot leg above tie middle leg below tie and tie rod engaging leg.
