Publication number: 20140138877Abstract: A process of manufacturing a formliner is disclosed. The process includes applying a formliner material to a mold, the mold having pocket molds for producing formliner pockets and a lattice of ridge molds for producing formliner ridges, then forming the formliner, and then demolding the formliner from the mold to produce the formliner having the formliner pockets and the formliner ridges. The lattice of the ridge molds have texture for producing texture in the formliner ridges and/or the mold includes a rigid high-density urethane closed cell foam or a rigid polyisocyanurate foam.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2014Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: ARCHITECTURAL POLYMERS, INC.Inventors: Marshall Gilbert WALTERS, Richard E. FASCHING

Patent number: 8662467Abstract: A formliner and master mold are disclosed. The master mold corresponds with the formliner, which includes a plurality of courses, each course having a plurality of pockets, each pocket sized and configured to receive a decorative brick, and a plurality of ridges arranged and disposed to separate the pockets. In the embodiment, the ridge lattice has a first ridge having a dimension that differs from a same dimension of a second ridge or a portion of the first ridge.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Architectural Polymers, Inc.Inventors: Richard E. Fasching, Marshall Gilbert Walters

Publication number: 20110073747Abstract: The present invention is a formliner apparatus comprising a plurality of substantially planar layers. The formliner further comprises a plurality of ribs extending in a direction away from the substantially planar layers and defining a plurality of recesses within the formliner in conjunction with the substantially planar layers, each of the plurality of ribs extending to a preselected rib plane. The present invention further comprises at least one resilient ridge on each rib defining each recess, each at least one resilient ridge extending into an adjacent recess, wherein each substantially planar layer is substantially parallel with the rib plane and located a preselected variance depth distance from the rib plane, each variance depth distance for at least some of the substantially planar layers being preselected from a preselected variance depth distance range, wherein each preselected variance depth distance not being equal to every other variance depth distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicant: ARCHITECTURAL POLYMERS, INC.Inventor: Marshall Gilbert WALTERS
