Abstract
An adjustable form having at least two elongated form parts which are capable of being attachable to each other in an adjustable manner relative to each other. A kit for an adjustable form having a package for containing at least two elongated form parts which are either or both adapted for or capable of being attachable to each other in an adjustable manner. A method for use of a form unit including assembling a form unit; disposing the form unit in the creation of an overall structure form for the creation of the ultimate structure; creating the ultimate structure.

A method for use of an adjustable form unit comprising:
- assembling an adjustable form unit;
- the adjustable form unit including at least:
- at least two elongated form parts which are structurally configured for being attachable lengthwise relative to each other in multiple infinitesimal length adjustable dispositions relative to each other within the maximum length of the two elongated forms and/or at multiple angle dispositions;
- with one or multiple anchor points;
- in one or both of infinitely or infinitesimally adjustable lengths relative to each other along the lengths thereof;
- the structural configuration including at least:
- a first one of the at least one of the at least two elongated form parts having a single elongated slot disposed therein defined lengthwise relative thereto and another one of the at least two elongated form parts having one or more bolt holes disposed therein to provide for connection of the at least two elongated form parts together;
- and,
- one or more of:
- a connection device, bolt or screw for holding the at least two elongated form parts in operative disposition relative to each other;
- wherein the single elongated slot disposed in the first elongated form part and the plurality of bolt holes disposed in the second of the elongated form parts and the one or more of connection devices, bolts and screws coact to provide for connection of the parts together in one or both of infinitely or infinitesimally adjustable lengths relative to each other along and anywhere in the entire length of the single elongated slot;
- the one or more of the connection devices, bolts and screws are configured to be disposed simultaneously inserted in and through both the single elongated slot and the one or more bolt holes to effectuate the connection of the at least two elongated form parts to each other;
- and
- the two or more elongated parts being adapted to be connected in an alternative angular disposition relative to each other, and in anchored position relative to a substrate, support structure, floor or wall;
- disposing the adjustable form unit in the creation of an overall structure form for the creation of the ultimate structure;
- creating the ultimate structure.
