Abstract
A modular void form is described. Embodiments of the modular void form can include a panel and at least one reinforcement member. The panel can include one or more scoring lines which the panel can be folded about. When the panel is folded, a tubular structure having a flange can be formed. The panel can include a plurality of slits that form slots when the panel is folded. The reinforcement members can be adapted to be removably inserted into the slots of the panel and engage the flange of the folded panel.
Claims20
A void form comprising:
- a panel having a plurality of slits and a plurality of scoring lines, wherein when the panel is folded about the scoring lines a tubular structure having at least one slot is formed;
- and
- at least one reinforcement member removably engaged with the tubular structure approximate the at least one slot;
- wherein the tubular structure comprises:

A void form comprising:
- a panel having a plurality of slits and a plurality of scoring lines, wherein when the panel is folded about the scoring lines a rectangular tube structure having at least one slot is formed;
- wherein the panel forms a flange when folded, the flange being formed by ends of the panel that are adjacent to one another when the panel is folded;
- at least one reinforcement member removably inserted into the at least one slot of the rectangular tube structure, the reinforcement member having a slot located approximate a middle portion of the reinforcement member that removably engages to the flange of the rectangular tube structure.
A void form comprising:
- a panel having a plurality of slits and a plurality of scoring lines, wherein when the panel is folded about the scoring lines a rectangular tube structure having a plurality of slots is formed;
- wherein the panel forms a flange when folded, the flange being formed by ends of the panel that are adjacent to one another when the panel is folded;
- wherein the plurality of slits includes (i) a first set of slits parallel with one another located proximate a left side of the panel and (ii) a second set of slits parallel with one another located proximate a right side of the panel;
- at least one reinforcement member removably inserted into one of the plurality of slots of the rectangular tube structure, the reinforcement member having a slot located approximate a middle portion of the reinforcement member adapted to removably engage the flange of the rectangular tube structure.
