Patent ID: 8122653

Claim:
An assembly for finishing a top, side and bottom edge of an unobstructed opening in an insulating concrete form wall formed from a plurality of insulating concrete form blocks each having two opposing side panels defining a cavity for receiving concrete therebetween and a plurality of internal structural supports positioned within the cavity, the assembly comprising: a single elongated body having only two flat two-sided surface portions coupled together with an intermediate two-sided portion positioned between the two flat two-sided surface portions in a substantially parallel position, the intermediate portion having an inner flat surface facing towards the cavity and an outer flat surface and having an elongated lateral dimension enclosing an end of one of the side panels of the insulating concrete form block wall forming any one of the top, side and bottom edges of the opening and only a portion of an opening to the cavity and wherein a first of the two parallel flat surface portions has an elongated lateral dimension extending over and covering of the side panel proximate to the end and a second of the two parallel flat surface portions being spaced apart by the intermediate portion from the parallel first surface portion; and a plurality of retention members selected from the group consisting of hooks and holes uniformly spaced apart and longitudinally positioned on the inner surface of the at least one elongated body, each retention member receiving and securing a first end of a wire tie coupling device having a second end coupled to one of the internal structural supports and each retention member is permanently positioned on the inner surface of the second flat surface portion securing the at least one elongated body to the one internal structural support before, during and after concrete is received within the cavity and during post construction use of the unobstructed opening finished using the assembly as the top, side or bottom edge thereof, wherein the assembly covers a top edge of only one of the side panels of the insulating concrete form wall providing a cap flashing to the covered side edge of the panel without covering a substantial portion of the cavity or a side edge of the opposing panel of the insulating concrete form wall.
