Abstract

A hole cover is provided for covering holes formed in the walking surfaces at construction job sites. The hole cover includes a cap having a top surface, a bottom surface and an edge. In addition, the cap includes a plurality of bores which project vertically from the cap's top surface to the bottom surface. The hole cover further includes a plurality of pins which are positioned within the bores. Each pin includes a head and shaft. The pins are sufficiently long so that once positioned within the bores, the pins extend downwardly so as to project into a construction site hole which is intended to be covered.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A construction site hole cover for covering holes formed in walking: surfaces, the hole cover comprising: 
 a cap having a top surface, a bottom surface and a edge;    a plurality of bores projecting through said cap from said top surface to said bottom surface; and    a plurality of pins projecting downwardly through said plurality of bores to below said bottom surface for projecting into a surface hole and for restricting lateral displacement of said hole cover.    
   
   
       2 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 1  wherein said cap has a cental vertical axis and said plurality of bores and corresponding pins are positioned concentrically about said central vertical axis to form at least one set of concentrically aligned bores for allowing said pins to project into a walking surface hole.  
   
   
       3 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 2  wherein cover includes at least two sets of concentrically aligned bores for allowing said pins to project into a walking surface hole for covering holes of different sizes with the hole cover.  
   
   
       4 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 1  wherein said cap has a circular edge to form a disc-like structure.  
   
   
       5 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 1  wherein said cap has a rectangular edge.  
   
   
       6 . A construction site hole cover for covering holes formed in walking surfaces, the hole cover comprising: 
 a substantially disc-like cap having a top surface, a bottom surface and a circular edge;    a plurality of bores projecting through said disk-like cap from said top surface to said bottom surface; and    a plurality of pins projecting downwardly through said plurality of bores to below said bottom surface for projecting into a surface hole and for restricting lateral displacement of said hole cover.    
   
   
       7 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 6  wherein said disc-like cap has a cental vertical axis and said plurality of bores and corresponding pins are positioned concentrically about said central vertical axis to form at least one set of concentrically aligned bores for allowing said pins to project into a walking surface hole.  
   
   
       8 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 7  wherein cover includes at least two sets of concentrically aligned bores for allowing said pins to project into a walking surface hole for covering holes of different sizes with the hole cover.  
   
   
       9 . A construction site hole cover for covering holes formed in walking surfaces, the hole cover comprising: 
 a substantially rectangular cap including a substantially flat top, a substantially flat bottom and a rectangular edge;    a plurality of bores projecting through said rectangular cap from said top surface to said bottom surface; and    a plurality of pins projecting downwardly through said plurality of bores to below said bottom surface for projecting into a surface hole and for restricting lateral displacement of said hole cover.    
   
   
       10 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 9  wherein said disc-like cap has a cental vertical axis and said plurality of bores and corresponding pins are positioned concentrically about said central vertical axis to form at least one set of concentrically aligned bores for allowing said pins to project into a walking surface hole.  
   
   
       11 . A construction site hole cover of  claim 10  wherein cover includes at least two sets of concentrically aligned bores for allowing said pins to project into a walking surface hole for covering holes of different sizes with the hole cover.
