Abstract
A liner for a form is provided. The form allows for the creation of a precast concrete wall to be formed. The liner allows a building material, for example, brick veneer, to be placed in the liner in a pattern. The pattern may be a soldier course that can formed over openings in the precast concrete wall. When liquid concrete is poured into the mold and then hardens, the concrete holds the building material in place in the pattern produced by the liner.
Claims20
An adjustable liner comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a first side;
- a second side;
- two or more insets formed in the adjustable liner from the first end to the second end, wherein the two or more insets are formed by a protrusion formed into a face, wherein the two or more insets hold a building material, and wherein the two or more insets are arranged to form a decorative course for the building material;
- and
- a protrusion formed in the face at the first side to mate with a continuous protrusion formed at a side of a second liner, wherein the second liner forms a field of building material, and wherein the adjustable liner is adjusted, with respect to the second liner, by sliding the adjustable liner along an axis parallel with the side of the second liner.

An article of manufacture created by a method for creating a precast concrete wall with a veneer of brick, tile, and/or stone, the method comprising;
- placing a first liner, for creating a field of brick, tile, and/or stone veneer on a first face of the precast concrete wall, into a mold that forms the precast concrete wall;
- placing a second liner for creating a soldier course of brick, tile, and/or stone veneer on the first face of the precast concrete wall, into the mold that forms the precast concrete wall;
- mating the second liner to the first liner by inserting a first protrusion formed into a second face at a first side of the second liner into a continuous protrusion formed along an axis into a third face at a second side of the first liner;
- adjusting the second liner in relation to the first liner to change an alignment of the soldier course with respect to the field, wherein adjusting the second liner comprises sliding the first protrusion along the axis of the continuous protrusion;
- placing the brick, tile, and/or stone into the first liner and/or second liner;
- pouring liquid concrete into the mold;
- after the liquid concrete hardens, removing the mold to expose the first and second liners;
- and
- removing the first and second liners to expose the veneer of brick, tile, and/or stone.
