Abstract: Structures for securing foam panels in position with respect to each other in order to form a mold for the pouring of concrete, such as in the case of the pouring of a building foundation or building wall are disclosed. A first type of member which has pairs of facing flanges for engaging facing walls at opposite ends on the member. This first type of member comprises an upper and a lower section. The upper and the lower section are connected to each other by at least one frangible bridge, which may be broken to accommodate the need for a shorter member at the top and bottom of the mold. A corner brace, having two pairs of facing flange members located in its upper section, and two pairs of facing flange members located in its lower section, is adapted to engage the four panel corners which meet at the corner of the poured cement mold where the top of one row of panels meets the bottom of the next row of panels.

Abstract: A device for interlocking form panels. It contemplates an elongated member having first and second sections that are substantially planar and have first and second ends and first and second sides. First and second flange members are attached to the ends and diverge from the elongated member. These flange members are also substantially planar, parallel to each other and protrude perpendicularly out of the plane of the elongated member an equal distance from the first and second sides of the elongated member. A first pair of guide rib members is attached to the elongated member at a point near the first end of the elongated member, is in a parallel planar relationship with the first diverging flange member, and protrudes perpendicularly from the first side of the elongated member. This first pair of guide rib members is attached at a point from the first diverging flange member so as to define a distance that is substantially equal to the thickness of a form panel.
