[0035] FIG. 1 shows a detail of a formwork device 1, which can be used in the manufacture of a concrete component. The formwork device 1 comprises a formwork element 2 on the positioning side and a further formwork element 3 on the closing side of formwork device 1. Formwork element 2 and further formwork element 3 are connected to one another by means of at least one formwork anchor 4, in such a way that a free space 5 for filling with concrete is formed between formwork element 2 and further formwork element 3. Formwork element 2 and further formwork element 3 each comprise in the known manner a formwork panel 6, which limits the free space between formwork element 2 and further formwork element 3. Moreover, formwork element 2 comprises a bearing element 7, on which a formwork anchor receptacle 8 for receiving the one end of formwork anchor 4 is arranged detachably. Formwork element 3 comprises a corresponding bearing element 7, on which a further formwork anchor receptacle 9 for receiving the other end of formwork anchor 4 is mounted detachably. Formwork anchor receptacle 8 comprises a formwork element 10 with a receptacle opening 10a, which is formed in sections with an internal thread, into which a corresponding external thread of the one end of formwork anchor 4 can engage.

[0036] As can also be seen from FIG. 1, anchor rod 4 comprises grooves 11 at the other end, with which a preliminary adjustment of the distance between formwork anchor receptacle 8 and further formwork anchor receptacle 9 is enabled. For this purpose, further formwork anchor receptacle 9 comprises an opening, into which two half-shell holding pieces 12 are introduced together with anchor rod 4. Half-shell holding pieces 12 comprise grooves 13 at their inner side, which grooves engage in grooves 11 of anchor rod 4. After being introduced into the opening of further formwork anchor receptacle 9, half-shell holding pieces 12 are thus fixedly connected to anchor rod 4. In the introduced state, half-shell holding pieces 12 abut against a projection in the opening. Proceeding from this projection, a further opening with a smaller diameter than in the region of the opening is provided. Furthermore, an elastic connection member in the form of a fixing spring washer 13 is introduced into the opening at the end region the opening, so that half-shell holding pieces 12 are pressed against the projection and thus locked in place with further formwork anchor receptacle 9. Further formwork anchor receptacle 9 on the formwork closing side and formwork anchor 4 are constituted as in EP 2 816 175, so that more detailed comments are dispensed with in this regard.

[0037] As can also be seen from FIG. 1, formwork anchor receptacle 8 comprises at the end region facing further formwork anchor receptacle 9 a ball section 14 with an external surface curved in a spherical manner. Bearing element 7 comprises a ball socket section 15 with a bearing surface curved in a spherical concave manner, on which ball section 14 of formwork anchor receptacle 8 can roll. Further formwork anchor receptacle 9 comprises a further ball section 16, which can roll on a further ball socket section 17 of bearing element 7 on the closing side. Formwork anchor receptacle 8 and further formwork anchor receptacle 9 each comprise a through-opening 18 for the passage of formwork anchor 4. According to FIG. 1, anchor rod 4 is represented in a central position, in which a longitudinal axis 19 of anchor rod 4 is arranged aligned with the central axis of through-openings 18 of formwork anchor receptacles 8, 9. On account of ball section 14 on formwork anchor receptacle 8 and further ball section 16 on further formwork anchor receptacle 9, anchor rod 4 can be tilted out of the shown central position, so that longitudinal axis 19 of anchor rod 4 can be arranged at an angle deviating from 90 with respect to formwork panels 6 of formwork element 2 and further formwork element 3. Moreover, the tiltable arrangement of formwork anchor receptacle 8 offers the advantage that the introduction of anchor rod 4 is facilitated.

[0038] The assembly of formwork device 1 takes place such that formwork anchor receptacle 8 is first connected to bearing element 7 of positioning-side formwork element 2. Further formwork anchor receptacle 9 is then fitted on formwork anchor 4, wherein a longitudinal adjustment with respect to the distance between formwork element 2 and further formwork element 3 is carried out. Formwork anchor 4 with further formwork anchor receptacle 9 is then arranged on bearing element 7 of further formwork element 3, wherein the free end of formwork anchor 4 is connected to bearing element 7 of positioning-side formwork element 2. The positioning formwork and the closing formwork are thus connected to one another by formwork anchor 4.

[0039] As can also be seen from FIG. 1, a retaining apparatus 20 for retaining receptacle element 10 on bearing element 8 of formwork element 2 is also provided.

[0040] Retaining apparatus 20 comprises on the one hand an anti-rotation securing element 21 for securing receptacle element 2 against rotation with respect to bearing element 7 of formwork device 1. Anti-rotation securing element 21 is formed by a projection 22, which extends upwards from a cylindrical portion 23 of receptacle element 2. In the operating position, projection 22 is arranged partially in a recess 24 of bearing element 7 of formwork device 1, as a result of which the rotation of formwork anchor receptacle 8 relative to bearing element 7 is limited or blocked.

[0041] Bearing element 7 comprises, lying opposite recess 24, a further recess, in which projection 22 is arranged in an alternative operating position.

[0042] Retaining apparatus 20 also comprises a spacer element 25 which, depending on the tilting angle of formwork anchor receptacle 8, comes into contact with the inner side of bearing element 7 of formwork element 2. Spacer element 25 comprises a mounting opening 25a (see FIG. 6), via which spacer element 25 is retained detachably on receptacle element 2. Moreover, spacer element 25 comprises at the outer circumference a first contact surface 26 curved in the shape of a circle arc in cross-section and a second contact surface 27 lying opposite for resting on bearing element 7 of formwork element 2. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 to 8, a spacer disc with outer sides arranged essentially parallel to one another is provided as a spacer element 25.

[0043] In the embodiment shown, first contact surface 26 of spacer element 25 has a first radial distance from central axis 28 of receptacle element 2, second contact surface 27 of spacer element 25 a second radial distance from central axis 28 of receptacle element 2 (see FIG. 2 to 8). The first radial distance of first contact surface 26 is greater by a multiple than the second radial distance of second contact surface 26, so that mounting opening 25 is formed eccentrically on spacer element 25.

[0044] As can be seen from FIG. 2 to 5, spacer element 25 can be transferred in a first tilting direction between a first functional position (see FIG. 2) for the assembly of receptacle element 2 on bearing element 8 and a second functional position (see FIG. 5) for limiting the tilting of receptacle element 2 with respect to central axis 28 of through-opening 18 of bearing element 7. Tilting into a second, opposite tilting direction is limited by projection 22. Spacer element 25 is arranged in the second functional position, i.e. the operating position, rotated through an angle of essentially 180 relative to receptacle element 10. First contact surface 26 of spacer element 25 in the installation position is thus arranged at the side of projection 22 of anti-rotation securing element 21, in the operating position at the side of receptacle element 10 facing away from projection 22 of anti-rotation securing element 21.

[0045] As can be seen from FIG. 2 to 8, an anti-rotation securing member 30 (see FIG. 6 to 8) is provided between receptacle element 10 and spacer element 25. In the embodiment shown, anti-rotation securing member 30 comprises two elevations 31 on a cylindrical portion 10b of receptacle element 10, wherein elevations 31, in the secured state of anti-rotation securing member 30, engage in two corresponding recesses or indentations 32 on spacer element 25. Recesses 32 proceed from the otherwise circular mounting opening 25a of spacer element 25.

[0046] Proceeding from the first functional position (installation position) according to FIG. 2, spacer element 25 can be displaced against the effect of a spring element 33 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 28 of receptacle element 10 into a first intermediate position according to FIG. 3, in which recesses 32 on spacer element 25 are arranged beneath elevations 31 on receptacle element 10. Anti-rotation securing member 30 is thus arranged between receptacle element 10 and spacer element 25 in a released state, so that spacer element 25 can be rotated out of the first intermediate position through essentially 180 into a second intermediate position (see FIG. 4), from which spacer element 25 can be displaced with the aid of spring element 33 in the longitudinal direction of receptacle element 10 into the second functional position (operating position). In the operating position, anti-rotation securing member 30 is again present in a secured state, so that spacer element 25 is secured against a rotation relative to receptacle element 10. In the embodiment shown, spring element 33 for pretensioning spacer element 25 in the direction of the first or second functional position comprises a helical spring between an outer side of spacer element 25 and a circular-ring bearing surface 33a of receptacle element 10.

[0047] As can be seen from FIG. 6 to 8, spacer element 25 is connected in one piece or integrally with a grip part 34 for the transfer of spacer element 25 between the first functional position and the second functional position. In the embodiment shown, grip part 34 is formed by two mutually opposite indentations 35 at the outer circumference of spacer element 25.

[0048] As can be seen from FIG. 2 to 8, a securing element 36 for securing spacer element 25 against moving away from receptacle 10 is also provided. In the embodiment shown, securing element 36 is formed by a securing ring 37, which is arranged on the end of receptacle element 10 facing away from ball section 14.

[0049] An alternative embodiment of formwork anchor receptacle 8 is shown in FIG. 9 to 12, wherein only the differences with a respect to the embodiment of FIG. 1 to 8 will be dealt with below.

[0050] In the embodiment according to FIG. 9 to 12, spacer element 25 comprises two half-shells 38, 39, which are connected detachably to one another by bolt connections 40. In the connected state, half-shells 38, 39 are arranged in a circumferential groove 41 of receptacle element 10. Half-shell 39 comprises here first contact surface 26, half-shell 38 second contact surface 27. For the formation of first contact surface 26, half-shell 39 comprises a circumferential flange part 42a, which projects from a plate part 42b. Half-shell 38 correspondingly comprises a circumferential flange part 43a, which projects from a further plate part 43b.

[0051] In this embodiment, anti-rotation securing member 30 comprises elastically deformable engagement elements 44, which are formed adjacent to mounting opening 25a on flange part 42 of half-shell 38. Engagement elements 44 engage in the anti-rotation secured state in corresponding indentations 45 of receptacle element 10. In this embodiment, spacer element 25 is arranged non-displaceably on receptacle element 10 in the longitudinal direction of the receptacle element 10. When spacer element 25 is rotated from the installation position (see FIG. 12), elevations 44 are elastically deformed, so that anti-rotation securing member 30 are released. When the operating position is reached (see FIG. 13), elevations 44 are again elastically deformed, until anti-rotation securing member 30 is present in the anti-rotation secured state.
