Patent number: 9562360Abstract: Provided is a method of installing a tile mosaic upon a vertical concrete surface. The method includes providing a plurality of tiles, a tile support, and a concrete form. The plurality of tiles are adhered to the tile support to define a mosaic assembly. The tiles are positioned on the tile support corresponding to the mosaic. The mosaic assembly is connected to the concrete form, and concrete is poured within the concrete form such that a portion of the tiles become embedded within the concrete. The tile support is subsequently detached from the concrete form and the concrete form is removed from the hardened concrete. The tile support is additionally removed from the plurality of tiles to reveal the mosaic on vertical surface of the concrete structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: LITHOCRETE, INC.Inventors: Robin Brailsford, Ronald D.

Patent number: 9512621Abstract: A structure connection system is described that connects an exterior façade to an exterior framing. The structure connection system comprises a first section and a second section. The first section includes exterior sheathing, insulation sheathing and a plurality of batten plates. The exterior sheathing is adapted to connect to an exterior framing of an existing structure. The insulation sheathing is a thermal rigid insulation board sheathing. Each batten plate of the plurality of batten plates is a right angle elongate plate. Each batten plate has a first flat elongate leg and a second flat elongate leg. The second leg is inserted into the insulation sheathing and the first leg is positioned against the front planar surface of the insulation sheathing. Each batten plate of the plurality of batten plates is located in fixed spaced separation from the adjacent batten plate. A plurality of fasteners connect the first section into an integrated assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Inventor: Ronald Trezza
