Claim 11

A concrete form building system comprising: a) a first elongated expanded polystyrene sidewall; b) a second elongated expanded polystyrene sidewall; c) said sidewalls each having opposed inner surfaces, a top edge, a bottom edge, and generally planar outer surfaces; d) a plurality of separate divisional members each comprising top and bottom ends, first and second flat sides and a cross section that is narrower than the width of said flat sides; e) said plurality of separate divisional members are shorter in length than the heights of said first and second sidewalls; f) means for attaching said first flat side of each of said plurality of separate divisional members to one of the opposed inner surfaces of said sidewalls and said second flat side to the other of said opposed inner surfaces such that hexagonally shaped channels are formed between said divisional members; and g) said plurality of separate divisional members are positioned such that the top end of each said divisional member is spaced apart from said top edges of said sidewalls and each said bottom end of each said divisional member is spaced apart from said bottom edges of said sidewalls to provide upper and lower concrete receiving areas that are in communication with said channels between said divisional members.

Claim 12

A concrete form building system comprising: a) a first elongated expanded polystyrene sidewall; b) a second elongated expanded polystyrene sidewall; c) said sidewalls each having opposed inner surfaces, a top edge, a bottom edge, and generally planar outer surfaces; d) a plurality of separate divisional members each comprising top and bottom ends, first and second flat sides and a cross section that is narrower than the width of said flat sides; e) said plurality of separate divisional members are shorter in length than the heights of said first and second sidewalls; f) means for attaching said first flat side of each of said plurality of separate divisional members to one of the opposed inner surfaces of said sidewalls and said second flat side to the other of said opposed inner surfaces such that hexagonally shaped channels are formed between said divisional members; and g) said plurality of separate divisional members are positioned such that the top end of each said divisional member is spaced apart from said top edges of said sidewalls and each said bottom end of each said divisional member is spaced apart from said bottom edges of said sidewalls to provide upper and lower concrete receiving areas that are in communication with said channels between said divisional members.

Claim 13
