Floor height gauge

Abstract

A floor height gauge for setting concrete floors is provided. The floor height gauge for setting concrete floors comprises a body, flange, knob and a possible string notch, as well as it can be used in conjunction with a protrusion or stake, insuring accuracy and eliminating the necessity for skilled workers when setting slab top elevations of concrete slabs. The floor height gauge provides a rotational means for one concrete worker to rotate a screed to level concrete to a slab top elevation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An elevation gauge system comprising a plurality of gauges each having a tubular gauge body, a flange extending outward from one end of the gauge body, and a clamp for securing each of the gauges vertically to a protrusion placed through the tubular gauge body thereof. 
     
     
         2 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 1 , wherein the clamp for securing each of the gauges to the protrusion comprises a threaded rod with a knob at one end that engages threads in the gauge body. 
     
     
         3 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of gauges has a cylindrical gauge body. 
     
     
         4 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of gauges has a square tube gauge body. 
     
     
         5 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of tubular stakes having an inner diameter for fitting the stakes over shear studs. 
     
     
         6 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 1 , wherein the flange of each of the gauges has a notch therein extending inward from an outer perimeter of the flange. 
     
     
         7 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 6 , wherein the notch extends inward non-radially. 
     
     
         8 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 7 , wherein the gauge body has an outer surface and wherein the notch extends inwardly up to and not beyond the outer surface of the gauge body. 
     
     
         9 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of gauges has a square tube gauge body. 
     
     
         10 . The elevation gauge system of  claim 8 , wherein the flange extends outward from the flange body up to about 1.5 inches.
