Abstract:
A structure supportable on a planar forming surface for formation of and embedment in a concrete panel for tilt-up wall construction comprising, in combination:a plurality of rigid interconnected peripheral elements of similar extrudable cross-section, in coplanar array and having outer surfaces and inner surfaces, said peripheral elements forming peripheral edges and edges of optional internally defined orifices of the concrete panel to define a form for edges of panel concrete, said peripheral elements havingcoplanar upper and lower edges for positioning on the forming surface,first means for embedment of concrete facing surfaces in panel concrete for attachment thereto,second means for releasable attachment of form braces, to outer surfaces distal from panel concrete,third means for attachment of at least one fastening strip to extend between inner surfaces of at least two peripheral elements andfourth means for fastenably receiving self-penetrating fasteners of wood construction; andat least one elongate fastening strip, having at least one planar surface element with an outer outer surface coplanar with one coplanar surface of the edges of the peripheral elements, said at least said at least one fastening stripextending fastenably between two peripheral elements for positional maintenance andhaving means for fastenably receiving therein self-penetrating fasteners of wood construction.
