Abstract

A cap for covering a lift hole of a lifting lug of a concrete slab, which cap comprises a flat circular skirt and a central portion, wherein from the lower surface of the flat skirt extends one continuous circular protrusion or a plurality of smaller protrusions in circular formation, wherein the central portion extends upwards from the skirt and is formed to be pressed down so that the upper part of the lifting lug breaks through the central portion.

Claims (11)

1. A cap for covering a lift hole of a lifting lug of a concrete slab, comprising:

a flat circular skirt comprising a lower surface, and

a central portion,

wherein from the lower surface of the flat circular skirt extends one continuous circular protrusion, or a plurality of smaller protrusions in circular formation,

wherein the central portion extend upwards from the flat circular skirt in an initial position and is pressed down below the flat circular skirt in a final position, so that in use with a lifting lug of a concrete slab, an upper part of the lifting lug of a concrete slab breaks through the central portion in the final position.

2. The cap according to claim 1 , wherein the central portion has a spherical form.

3. The cap according to claim 1 , wherein the central portion comprises a section for facilitating breaking in an area of the lifting lug of a concrete slab.

5. The cap according to claim 1 , wherein the central portion has a plurality of at least partly overlapping sections.

6. The cap according to claim 5 , wherein the at least partly overlapping sections are adapted to be pressed down so that the sections slide relative to each other when the upper part of the lifting lug of a concrete slab breaks through the central portion.
