ABSTRACT:
A removable anchor positioning insert for forming a recess in a face of a concrete structure and for the simultaneous positioning of an anchor within the recess. The insert includes a resilient body having an upper surface connected to an arcuate lower surface by front and rear surfaces. An anchor placement channel extends within the body intermediate the upper face and the lower surface and includes a channel apex connecting first and second receiving bores. The first and second receiving bores extend in a downward direction from the channel apex toward the lower surface and include front and rear outlets opening adjacent the front and rear surfaces. A slot extends downwardly from the placement channel to the lower surface. The first and second receiving bores include engagement surfaces for engaging outer surfaces of first and second legs of the anchor. The first and second legs of the anchor extend downwardly from an anchor apex. Front and rear stabilizing wings extend outwardly from the front and rear surfaces of the body and are disposed adjacent the front and rear outlets of the placement channel. Front and rear bearing surfaces are defined by the front and rear stabilizing wings proximate the front and rear outlets for engaging side surfaces of the anchor thereby preventing rotational movement therebetween.
