Abstract: Concrete forms comprising a first cloth sheet permitting surplus water and air contained in concrete cast in the form to pass therethrough but capable of blocking the passage of the concrete, a second cloth sheet permeably secured to the first sheet, permitting the surplus water and air to pass between and through the first and second sheets and to be absorbed into the second sheet as well as the first sheet, and a support plate to which the second sheet is bonded as by adhesive or thermal bonding acting through only part of the thickness of the second sheet, leaving as water and air permeable throughout the remainder of the second sheet, all of the first sheet, and the interspace therebetween, such being effective as flow paths for surplus water and air to exhaust from the concrete cast in the form to thereby shorten the cure time and improve the strength of the concrete when cured.

Abstract: A form for forming concrete comprises a first sheet permitting surplus water contained in the concrete cast in the form to pass through the first sheet, but capable of blocking the passage of the concrete, a second sheet secured to the first sheet, permitting the surplus water to be absorbed into it, and a plate secured to the second sheet. The first sheet provides paths for the surplus water by the existence of the second sheet. The paths for the surplus water are ensured by a spacer provided between the first sheet and the plate in lieu of the second sheet or together with the second sheet.
