Abstract
A cement form includes a single piece, unitary body member having a solid, continuous construction and a wedge-shaped cross-section. The body member includes a first surface arranged vertically and configured to support a volume of cement, a second surface arranged horizontally and configured to contact a ground support surface, a foam material, an elongate construction with a greater length dimension in a horizontal direction than a height dimension in a vertical direction, and a notch formed at an intersection of the first and second surfaces, the notch being receptive of a portion of a foam sheet or other foam extension member.
Claims12
A cement form, comprising:
- a single piece, unitary body member having a solid, continuous construction and a wedge-shaped cross-section, the body member comprising:
- a first surface arranged vertically and configured to support a volume of cement;
- a second surface arranged horizontally and configured to contact a ground support surface;
- a foam material;
- an elongate construction with a greater length dimension in a horizontal direction than a height dimension in a vertical direction;
- a notch formed at an intersection of the first and second surfaces, the notch being receptive of a portion of a foam sheet;
- a weight-bearing surface extending from the first surface to the second surface, the weight-bearing surface facing at least in part in a vertical direction, the weight-bearing surface being arranged at an angle in the range of about 20° to about 60° relative to the second surface;
- a connector groove formed in the weight-bearing surface and extending along at least a portion of a length of the body member, the connector groove being configured to receive a connecting member that extends between adjacent positioned cement forms, the connector groove being open in a vertically upward direction and having a closed bottom end.
A cement form, comprising:
- an elongate member, comprising:
- a wedge cross-sectional shape;
- a foam material;
- first and second ends and a length measured therebetween;
- a cement support surface extending vertically and configured to support a volume of cement, the cement support surface extending from a bottom most edge to an upper most edge of the elongate member, the cement support surface defining a height of the elongate member, the height being less than the length;
- a notch formed in the cement support surface at the bottom most edge;
- an extension member having a first end inserted into the notch, a second end extending away from the cement support surface, the extension member having a length that is substantially the same as the length of the elongate member, a thickness that is substantially the same as a height of the notch along the cement support surface, and a width that is less than the length of the extension member.
