Following use, the securement jacket can be rolled into a tight bundle for transport and storage. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090173872 | Method and System for Forming Pre-Cast Concrete Columns - The apparatus may include a cavity for forming pre-cast concrete structures, such as concrete columns. The cavity may be defined by a base member and two opposing side members. The two opposing side members may be pivotally interconnected to the base member such that the two opposing side members are moveable between a ready-to-use position and a release position. Projection members may be placed into the cavity to form slots in columns formed in the cavity. The slots are adapted to receive the terminal ends of concrete panels. Bulkheads may be removably installed into the cavity to vary a dimension of the concrete columns formed therein. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20110174956 | FORM AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING A FORM - A concrete form having a tubular body formed from a flexile strip wound helically in successive passes to define a wall of the form. The adjacent edges of the strip being releasably engaged with one another to inhibit axial separation of the strip. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20120261545 | Reusable concrete form - Disclosed is a reusable, lightweight and rigid concrete forming tube made from fiberglass, injection molded plastic or similar material providing a surface with little tendency to adhere to the concrete. This makes it easy to remove the components and to reuse them without excessive cleaning required before the next use. Components are constructed with interlocking tabs so that assembly can be accomplished by merely inserting one male tab into a female opening in the corresponding tab in a slip fit relationship. Concrete or a similar material is poured into the top of the assembled tube. Upon hardening of the concrete, the tube is removed, leaving a formed concrete column of the desired cross sectional shape and length. After use the components are disassembled for use elsewhere. | 10-18-2012 |

| 20140319316 | HOLLOW-CORE FIBERGLASS SHEET - A form work system is disclosed. The form work system may include a pair of fiberglass hollow-core sheets forming an internal cavity that receives concrete to form a structure. The pair of fiberglass hollow-core sheets includes a top fiberglass sheet and a bottom fiberglass sheet and a plurality of fiberglass vertical supports coupled between the top fiberglass sheet and the bottom fiberglass sheet to form a plurality of internal channels. The form work system rebar fasteners extend through the pair of vertical supports, the pair of fiberglass hollow-core sheets, the internal cavity and the concrete to form the form work system. | 10-30-2014 |
| 20160108630 | MODULAR, SIX-AXIS-ADJUSTABLE, CONCRETE-POUR FORM-STRUCTURE SYSTEM - A precision fabrication form system for preparing a poured-concrete (with upwardly projecting anchor bolts) footing for anchorably supporting the base of an elongate, upright, structural-frame column. The system includes a reversibly stackable plurality of independent, intercooperative, fabrication-form templates—grade, pedestal, base-plate, anchor-bolt and centerline—reversibly assembleable in a predetermined stack order above a prepared ground excavation into which concrete pouring to be associated with such a footing is to occur, certain ones of these templates being infinitely adjustable relative to one another and to the ground in both pre-pour and post-pour conditions to accommodate staged, precision, X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, and pitch, roll and yaw axes dispositions for the concrete and anchor bolts in such a footing. | 04-21-2016 |
