Abstract

A form for constructing a thrower's circle includes a pair of half sections. Each half section has an upper surface and a base surface and two full length members and two half length members. The full length members and the half length members are connected together substantially at right angles to form a rectangle with four corners. A corner brace is located in each of the four corners. An inside cross member and an outside cross member extend between the half length members and are generally parallel to the full length members. A pair of semi-circles, each having substantially the same diameter that is larger than the length of the half length members and less than the length of the full length members. Means are provided for securing the half sections together so that the semi-circles form a full circle. Tubes extend from the circle toward the base to drain water from with in the circle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . A form for constructing a thrower's circle comprising:
 a plurality of structural sections that when assembled produce the form for constructing the thrower's circle;   a plurality of arcuate portions, each of the plurality of arcuate portions mounted to one of the plurality of structural sections, and each of the plurality of arcuate portions having a radius; and   means for securing the plurality of structural sections together to provide the form for constructing the thrower's circle having a full circle formed from the plurality of arcuate portions.   
     
     
         18 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle according to  claim 17 , wherein each of the plurality of structural sections comprises a plurality of side members and at least one cross member extending between the plurality of side members. 
     
     
         19 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 18 , wherein each arcuate portion extends across the at least one cross member at at least one location. 
     
     
         20 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle according to  claim 18 , wherein each of the at least one cross member comprises a notch adapted to receive one of the plurality of arcuate portions. 
     
     
         21 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising a plurality of tubes adjacent to the arcuate portions, the plurality of tubes extending in a direction from the upper surface of the sections toward the base surface of the sections. 
     
     
         22 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 21 , wherein each of the plurality of tubes is positioned to drain water from the thrower's circle. 
     
     
         23 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising a toe bar mounted on the form. 
     
     
         24 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 23 , wherein the toe bar is mounted at least one of the arcuate portions of the form. 
     
     
         25 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the full circle comprises an upper edge disposed at a height greater then a height of an upper surface of the plurality of structural sections. 
     
     
         26 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the plurality of structural sections comprises two structural sections. 
     
     
         27 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 26 , wherein each of the two structural sections comprises four right angled corners. 
     
     
         28 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle according to  claim 27 , further comprising braces positioned in each of the four right angled corners. 
     
     
         29 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the plurality of arcuate portions comprises two arcuate portions. 
     
     
         30 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the two arcuate portions comprise semi-circles. 
     
     
         31 . The form for constructing a thrower's circle as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the means for securing the plurality of structure sections together comprises nuts and bolts.
