Bollard holder

Abstract

A bollard holder is provided to hold a bollard to a concrete form. The bollard holder has an encircling portion for encircling a portion of the bollard. The bollard holder has an adjustable member coupled to the encircling portion and for contacting the bollard, where the adjustable member is adjustable relative to the encircling portion to adjust an orientation of the encircling portion relative to the bollard. The bollard holder has an arm extending from the encircling portion to attach the encircling portion to the concrete form.

         2 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable member comprises a threaded member. 
     
     
         3 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the arm is attached to the concrete form via a removable fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the arm comprises an extension that extends to engage the concrete form while other portions of the bollard holder are spaced away from concrete formed into the concrete form. 
     
     
         5 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the other portions of the bollard holder that are spaced away from the concrete comprise the encircling portion and a portion of the arm other than the extension of the arm. 
     
     
         6 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 1 , comprising a second arm extending from the encircling portion to attach the encircling portion to the concrete form, wherein the second arm is spaced an arc length from the arm. 
     
     
         7 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the encircling portion comprises a ring portion. 
     
     
         8 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein the ring portion comprises a flat ring. 
     
     
         9 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the encircling portion comprises a tab extending from the flat ring and with which the adjustable member cooperates to adjust the orientation of the encircling portion relative to the bollard. 
     
     
         10 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 9 , wherein the tab is threaded to facilitate cooperation with the adjustable member. 
     
     
         11 . A method of holding a bollard to a concrete form, comprising:
 attaching an arm of a bollard holder to the concrete form;   placing the bollard in an encircling portion of the bollard holder, wherein the arm extends from the encircling portion such that the encircling portion is attached to the concrete form via the arm, and wherein an adjustable member is adjustably coupled to the encircling portion and contacts the bollard such that the bollard is at a first orientation relative to the encircling portion; and   adjusting the adjustable member such that the bollard is at a second orientation relative to the encircling portion.   
     
     
         12 . The method as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein adjusting the adjustable member comprises threadingly adjusting the adjustable member relative to the encircling portion. 
     
     
         13 . The method as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein a second adjustable member is adjustably coupled to the encircling portion and contacts the bollard such that the bollard is at the first orientation relative to the encircling portion, and the method comprises adjusting the second adjustable member such that the bollard is at the second orientation relative to the encircling portion. 
     
     
         14 . The method as set forth in  claim 11 , comprising attaching a second arm of the bollard holder to the concrete form, wherein the second arm extends from the encircling portion such that the encircling portion is attached to the concrete form via the second arm. 
     
     
         15 . The method as set forth in  claim 11 , comprising further adjusting the adjustable member such that the bollard is at a third orientation relative to the encircling portion. 
     
     
         16 . The method as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein attaching the arm comprises attaching an extension of the arm to the concrete form such that the encircling portion and a portion of the arm other than the extension of the arm are spaced away from concrete formed into the concrete form. 
     
     
         17 . A bollard holder to hold a bollard to a concrete form, the bollard holder comprising:
 an encircling portion for encircling a portion of the bollard;   a first adjustable member coupled to the encircling portion and for contacting the bollard, the first adjustable member adjustable relative to the encircling portion to adjust an orientation of the encircling portion relative to the bollard;   a second adjustable member coupled to the encircling portion and for contacting the bollard, the second adjustable member adjustable relative to the encircling portion to adjust the orientation of the encircling portion relative to the bollard;   an arm extending from the encircling portion to attach the encircling portion to the concrete form; and   a second arm extending from the encircling portion to attach the encircling portion to the concrete form.   
     
     
         18 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 17 , wherein the second arm is spaced an arc length from the arm. 
     
     
         19 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 17 , wherein the arm comprises an extension that extends to engage the concrete form while a portion of the arm other than the extension of the arm is spaced away from concrete formed into the concrete form. 
     
     
         20 . The bollard holder as set forth in  claim 17 , wherein the encircling portion comprises a tab with which the first adjustable member cooperates to adjust the orientation of the encircling portion relative to the bollard.
