Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A structural ridge member for use in air-vibrated concrete screeds of the isosceles triangle shaped, separable frame unit type, said ridge member being molded as an integral replaceable one piece member comprising: (a) a hollow strengthening ridge tube portion adapted for being horizontally positioned at the apex of an isosceles triangle shaped screed frame unit so as to extend with its bore for the length of such frame unit and being internally threaded adjacent each of its bore ends; and (b) integral with said ridge tube portion on opposite sides thereof downwardly and outwardly extending integral solid flange portions extending for the length of said ridge tube portion and having holes formed therein enabling other structural members of said frame unit to be detachably attached thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 126 words
