Abstract
A method and device for producing a slotted concrete vertical wall. A pair of vertically extending forms having vertically extending ridges are positioned on the final use site of the slotted wall. The ridges of one mold are positioned adjacent and aligned with the ridges of the second mold. A pair of forms are located outwardly and adjacent the molds with a plurality of ties extending through the ridges of the molds being secured to the forms connecting the molds and forms together as concrete is poured between and around the ridges. The forms and molds are removed once the concrete is solidified leaving the slotted concrete wall permanently in the position poured.

A method of producing a slotted vertical wall on site in a building for livestock comprising the steps of:
- positioning on the final use site for said wall a pair of mutually facing and aligned plastic molds having vertically extending hollow ridges with horizontally extending top lips;
- locating said ridges of one of said molds against and aligned with ridges of the other of said molds to insure absence of concrete directly between ridges of one mold and ridges of the other mold forming slotted openings in the concrete wall to be formed;
- locating a first pair of forms on opposite sides of said molds;
- hanging said molds on said forms by positioning said top lips atop said forms;
- extending a plurality of ties through said ridges of said molds;
- attaching said ties to said forms, securing said forms and molds together;
- pouring concrete between said molds forming a slotted concrete wall;
- removing said forms and molds once said concrete has solidified;
- and
- leaving said concrete as solidified permanently in the vertical position poured and formed.
A device for forming a vertical concrete wall poured in place comprising:
- a pair of mutually facing and aligned molds each having a performed main body of thin-walled construction, each main body having a plurality of parallel vertically extending hollow ridges, said ridges of one of said molds being aligned and in contact with said ridges of said other of said molds, said ridges including aligned passages extending therethrough;
- a first pair of spaced-apart vertical forms between which are located said molds, said molds having top portions forming lips extending outwardly therefrom overhanging and resting atop said forms to suspendedly support said molds;
- and
- a plurality of ties extending through said passages of said ridges and connected to said forms removably securing said forms and molds together as concrete is poured between said molds.
