Abstract:
A corner bracket for retaining a first object having a face surface with perimeter edges and a second object having a face surface with perimeter edges, said bracket capable of being arranged to place said first object at an angle in relation to said second object so as to form a corner in proper position on an inside surface of a form for a structure while a settable material is poured into the form to harden and embed the objects with their face surfaces exposed in the surface of the finished structure, the face surface of each of said objects having a perimeter edge configuration, said bracket comprising:a) two side perimeter members, said side perimeter members being arranged to conform to the outer configuration of said perimeter edges of said first object and said perimeter edges of said second object and to form a recess there between for receiving said first and second objects, each of said side perimeter members includes an outer mating surface located on an opposite side of the perimeter member from the recess and each of said side perimeter members has opposite ends;b) flanged members attached to said side perimeter members, said flanged members and said side perimeter members contacting and supporting said first and second objects;c) one or more fixed axial points located on each of said side perimeter members whereby the side members may be folded so that said first and second objects are positioned at an angle with respect to each other to form a corner; andd) an extended surface which extends from each of the flanged members and joins the mating surface along an outer edge of said side perimeter members, said extended surface comprising a mold shaped to form a joint line in the settable material between two objects when their corresponding brackets are positioned adjacent to each other.
