Abstract:
1. A system for forming a movable slab foundation, the system comprising: a slab foundation; at least one support surface; at least one support member being substantially vertical and having a hollow body with first and second ends, the first end of the hollow body of the at least one support member abuttingly contacting the at least one support surface; at least one support sleeve surrounding the at least one support member, the at least one support sleeve being encased within the slab foundation and being capable of moving axially along an axis of the at least one support member, the at least one support sleeve having an opening through which the at least one support member is extendable, the opening being substantially geometrically complimentary to the at least one support member, and wherein the at least one support sleeve comprises an annular body with inner and outer surfaces, the inner surface of the annular body having a plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs extending radially inward to thereby define the opening in the at least one support sleeve therebetween; and the at least one support member being movable relative to the at least one support sleeve to offset the at least one support member from the opening of the at least one support sleeve and thereby restrict movement of the at least one support sleeve downward relative to the at least one support member.
