Abstract
Abstract A wall forming system and method having a parallel form panels secured together by an adjustable support structure to form a cavity therebetween. The cavity being filled with hardenable material. The support structure having an elongated threaded member with a adjustable frame mounted upon the threaded member along either side of the parallel form panels. Mounts are placed upon the threaded member and rotated to hold the frame in position against the form panels. Rotation of the mounts can serve to impart a curvature to the forming system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A method for forming a cast for molding hardenable material, comprising the steps of: providing a first panel; providing a second panel opposing said first panel to bound a cavity for receiving hardenable material; providing an adjustable support structure comprising: a first element engagable with said at least one of said panels, a second element opposing said first element, an elongate threaded member having a first end mounted with said first element and a second end mounted for adjustment with said second element, and first and second mounts threadably carried by said elongate threaded member on either side of said second element; mounting said adjustable support structure with at least one of said panels; and rotating at least one of said first and second mounts to impart a contour to said at least one of said panels.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
137 words
A method for forming a cast for molding hardenable material, comprising the steps of: providing a first panel; providing a second panel opposing said first panel to bound a cavity for receiving hardenable material; providing an adjustable support structure comprising: a first element engagable with said at least one of said panels, a second element opposing said first element, an elongate threaded member having a first end mounted with said first element and a second end mounted for adjustment with said second element, and first and second mounts threadably carried by said elongate threaded member on either side of said second element; mounting said adjustable support structure with at least one of said panels; and rotating at least one of said first and second mounts to impart a contour to said at least one of said panels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 1, wherein either said steps of providing a first panel and providing a second panel further includes the steps of providing a somewhat flexible panel to permit the formation of said contour upon the step of rotating.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
154 words
A method for forming a cast for molding hardenable material, comprising the steps of: providing a first panel; providing a second panel opposing said first panel to bound a cavity for receiving hardenable material; providing first and second adjustable support structures each comprising: a first element engagable with either said first and second panels, a second element opposing said first element, an elongate threaded member having a first end mounted with said first element and a second end mounted for adjustment with said second element, and first and second mounts threadably carried by said elongate threaded member on either side of said second element; mounting said first and second adjustable support structures with either one of said panels; and rotating at least one of said first and second mounts of at least one of said first and second adjustable support structures to impart a contour to either one of said first and second panels.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
154 words
A method for forming a cast for molding hardenable material, comprising the steps of: providing a first panel; providing a second panel opposing said first panel to bound a cavity for receiving hardenable material; providing first and second adjustable support structures each comprising: a first element engagable with either said first and second panels, a second element opposing said first element, an elongate threaded member having a first end mounted with said first element and a second end mounted for adjustment with said second element, and first and second mounts threadably carried by said elongate threaded member on either side of said second element; mounting said first and second adjustable support structures with either one of said panels; and rotating at least one of said first and second mounts of at least one of said first and second adjustable support structures to impart a contour to either one of said first and second panels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 3, further including the step of substantially rigidly connecting said first adjustable support structure with said second adjustable support structure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 3, wherein either said steps of providing a first panel and providing a second panel further includes the steps of providing a somewhat flexible panel to permit the formation of said contour upon the step of rotating.
