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 first side;
- 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;
- wherein the adjustable liner may be mated with a second liner, wherein the second liner forms a field of building material.
A method for creating a precast concrete wall with a building material, the method comprising;
- placing a first liner, for creating a field of building material 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 decorative course of the building material 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;
- adjusting the second liner in relation to the first liner to change a configuration of the decorative course with respect to the field;
- 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 building material.
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;
- adjusting the second liner in relation to the first liner to change an alignment of the soldier course with respect to the field;
- 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.
