  • Patent number: 10570632
    Abstract: An adjustable concrete form brace includes a horizontal adaptable extension member. A first lower brace element and a second lower brace element opposing the first lower brace element each have a horizontal insertion channel adapted to receive the horizontal extension member. A first upper brace element and second upper brace element are attached to the first lower brace element and the second lower brace element respectively. Each of the lower brace members include a saddle, and each saddle is adapted to retain one or more reinforcement bars. The first upper brace element and second upper brace element each include a form retaining element.

  • Publication number: 20180127992
    Abstract: An adjustable spreader cleat includes a first spreader cleat element with a first horizontal leg, a first vertical element attached to an outside end of the first horizontal leg and a first canted retaining element. A locking mechanism is located at an insertion end of the first spreader cleat element. A second spreader cleat element has a second horizontal leg end, a second vertical element and a second canted retaining element. The second horizontal leg includes a receiving end opening to a channel for receiving the insertion end, the channel includes a set of distributed latching regions for the locking mechanism. The first horizontal leg slides into the channel and locks into the second horizontal leg to join the first spreader cleat element with the second spreader cleat element. The first and second canted retaining elements and the first and second vertical elements cooperate to retain a form.

  • Publication number: 20080111049
    Abstract: The current invention discloses moisture resistant foundation pier block forms constructed from corrugated plastic. Means for holding sections of reinforcing bar can be included and at least one preferred embodiment of the invention includes means for securing the form in its desired location at a construction site. The forms of the current invention are light weight and can be easily assembled at a construction site or at a remote location. Sections of reinforcing bar can be inserted in at least one preferred embodiment of the invention during assembly and the forms can then be folded into a flat configuration for storage until needed. The forms disclosed in the current invention can be reused, but they do not attract insects and therefore do not have to be removed from the pier blocks after the concrete has dried.
