  • Publication number: 20070215785
    Abstract: A concrete mold device for vertically forming a concrete panel comprises a plurality of concrete forms for collectively defining a mold cavity for receiving an uncured concrete mixture therein. The concrete forms include: a pair of opposing side wall forms configured to define side wall surfaces of the mold cavity; and a pair of opposing end wall forms, configured to define end wall surfaces of the mold cavity. An elongate lower support gasket has an upper surface configured to define a bottom surface of the mold cavity, the lower support gasket having gasket side walls configured to abut against at least a portion of each of the side wall forms to provide a seal between the lower support gasket and the side wall forms to retain the concrete mixture within the mold cavity. Reinforcing structure is associated with the lower support gasket to increase a load-bearing capacity of the lower support gasket.

  • Publication number: 20060137273
    Abstract: A form for creating a pattern in uncured concrete during a casting process includes a support frame and a perforated reinforcing structure coupled adjacent to at least a portion of the support frame. The perforated reinforcing structure includes a plurality of apertures defined therein. A pliable liner is disposed at least partially within the plurality of apertures and at least partially about the perforated reinforcing structure adjacent the support structure. The pliable liner has a patterned surface formed thereon for creating a corresponding pattern in uncured concrete poured adjacent the form.
