Patent ID: 7337591

Claim:
An assembly formed on a building site for producing a vertically disposed poured-in-place wall structure having horizontally disposed reinforcement rods, said assembly comprising: a) wall molding means for forming laterally spaced, opposed molding surfaces that define a wall mold cavity for forming said wall structure, b) said wall molding means including means for vertically and freely disposing laterally spaced wall forming panels to provide said molding surfaces along opposed sides of said wall mold cavity, c) said cavity having an upwardly directed top opening into which hardenable material is to be poured and hardened to produce said wall structure within said wall mold cavity, d) a plurality of separable, laterally spaced grid means suspended to project outwardly from and along the vertically disposed molding surfaces in said mold cavity, each said grid means extending between said molding surfaces and including laterally spaced elongate grid elements that extend vertically and are fixedly attached to a plurality of transverse tie members each of which members is disposed at a vertically spaced location along said grid elements, e) each said transverse tie member being effective to freely and contiguously support and suspend said reinforcement rods which extend substantially parallel to said molding surfaces and are freely contiguously disposed on said transverse tie members at a plurality of vertically spaced locations within said mold cavity, and f) means for attaching said grid means to said opposed wall forming panels to retain said reinforcement rods in place at said plurality of vertically spaced locations while said hardenable material is being poured into said mold cavity and allowed to harden.
