  • Patent number: 4026083
    Abstract: A modular form is disclosed for enabling an individual unskilled in bricklaying techniques to install professional looking patios, walkways, or to resurface walls and the like. The forms comprise tray-like modules, containing a network of grids which create brick-shaped voids arranged in commonly used brick patterns. After placing the modules on a suitable surface, bricks are inserted into the voids and a suitable grouting material such as sand and portland cement or masonry cement is applied between the bricks. The modules insure correct brick pattern spacing and a professional looking final product and permit considerable time savings when compared to conventional methods. The grids are preferably arranged to form a "basketweave" pattern for ground use and a "running bond" pattern for wall use, but other patterns are also disclosed. The invention also provides interlocking means for the modules so that uniformity of the pattern is retained in the creation of various sized patios, walkways or brick walls.
