Abstract

Abstract A reusable building form structure defined by two rigid, preformed, self-supporting unitary form members, used in combination with a pair of building wall panels to bridge a space therebetween so that a settable construction material introduced into such space may be held in place while setting. At least one form member is channel shaped having tapered walls to facilitate its separation from the column formed by the settable construction material.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 30 words
a second integral unitary preformed, rigid and self-supporting form engaging the other opposite surface of each of said building wall panels and straddling said space between said adjacent edges thereof,
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 45 words
The combination of claim 1 in which each of said braces comprises a. a generally L-shaped member, one leg of which is integrally connected with the lateral margin of its associated flange, and the other leg of which is integrally connected with an associated sidewall.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 68 words
at least one of said unitary forms being generally channel shaped in transverse cross section and being defined by a pair of opposed sidewalls which are integrally connected with each other by an intermediate portion which extends between and integrally connects said sidewalls, and a flange extending laterally outwardly from each of said sidewalls to engage said surfaces of said building wall panels engaged by said one form,
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 68 words
