Object bracket holder for concrete forms

A bracket for retaining a brick paver having a relatively flat face surface including an outer perimeter edge in position adjacent to the inside surface of a concrete form whereby the brick paver will be embedded in the surface of the finished concrete structure with the face surface of the brick paver exposed, said bracket comprising:

• a) a pair of oppositely opposed side perimeter members and a pair of oppositely opposed end perimeter members joined end to end to form a rectangular perimeter configuration surrounding a recess area, said recess area being sized to fit the outer perimeter edge of the face surface of said brick paver;
• b) said side and end members having a cross-section which includes a flange area which extends inwardly into the recess area from the side and end members to support the brick paver positioned therein;
• and
• c) each side and each end member includes an extended surface which extends from said flange area to an outer surface which is generally perpendicular to a plane along the support surface of the flange area whereby the cross-section of said side and end members forms one half of a grout line mold for forming the concrete between two brick pavers supported by their adjacent brackets.

A bracket for retaining an object having a face surface defining a perimeter edge, said face surface being held in a desired position adjacent to the inside surface of a construction form for receiving a settable material whereby the object will be embedded and exposed in the outer surface of a finished structure, said face surface having a defined perimeter edge, said bracket comprising:

• a) an object;
• b) at least three side members each joined end to end to form at least a partial perimeter configuration and having a recess area, said perimeter configuration being sized and shaped to closely fit the perimeter edge of the face surface of said object;
• c) the side members having a cross-section which includes a flange area which extends inwardly into the recess area to support and contact the perimeter edge of the object positioned in the recess area;
• d) each of said side members including an extended surface which extends outwardly from said flange area to an outer surface, said outer surface including a coupling means whereby adjacent brackets can be held together in an assemblage forming a desired pattern by the objects when embedded in the surface of the finished structure;
• e) means for securing the object in the recess area of the bracket so that the object will be held in position with respect to the form during the pouring and setting of the settable medium;
• and
• f) said securing means is releasable so that the bracket can be removed from the object when the form is removed from the finished structure.
