Abstract
A method of producing an in-situ molded concrete object includes positioning a form on a substrate. The form can include a leg portion, a face portion, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion can connect the leg portion to the face portion. The method includes coupling the leg portion to the substrate to create a container open on at least one side. The method also includes pouring concrete into the container. The frangible portion can be fractured to separate the face portion from the leg portion.
Claims17
A method of in-situ producing a molded object, comprising:
- positioning a form on a substrate, the form including a leg portion, a face portion, and a frangible portion, the frangible portion connecting the leg portion to the face portion;
- coupling the leg portion to the substrate to create a container open on at least one side;
- pouring material into the container;
- and
- rotating the face portion about the frangible portion, thereby fracturing the frangible portion to separate the face portion from the leg portion.
A method of in-situ producing a molded object, comprising:
- installing a form on a substrate to create a container open on at least one side, the form including a leg portion and a contoured face portion with a frangible section forming a frangible score line connecting the leg portion to the contoured face portion, the frangible section included in the form prior to installing the form;
- inserting a material into the container in contact with the leg portion and the contoured face portion, the material having a flowable state and a solid state;
- allowing the material to cure from the flowable state to the solid state;
- applying a force to the contoured face portion to rotate the face portion about the frangible portion to fracture the form along the frangible score line;
- and
- separating the contoured face portion from the leg portion such that a lower surface of the leg portion is flush with or above a bottom surface of the material.
