Patent ID: 8286398

Claim:
A monopour form comprising: a. a flexible sheet form element having edge portions that are longitudinally extending and a transverse spacing between the edge portions defining a flexible sheet form element width having a contact portion between the edge portions supported directly on a ground surface and aligned along a longitudinal foundation axis; b. a first transverse wall form support and a second transverse wall form support supported directly on the flexible sheet form element, wherein the first transverse wall form support and the second transverse wall form support are longitudinally spaced apart along the longitudinal foundation axis as well as centered over the longitudinal foundation axis, and wherein each of the transverse wall form supports further comprises at least one base element supported directly on the contact portion of the flexible sheet form element and centered over the longitudinal foundation axis, at least one vertically oriented threaded shaft element permanently affixed to the base element, at least one form tie support means positioned by the threaded shaft element, and at least one internally threaded element aligned around the threaded shaft element to position and support the form tie support means; c. a plurality of longitudinal wall form assemblies centered over the longitudinal foundation axis, wherein the plurality of longitudinal wall form assemblies comprise a rigid inner form means and rigid outer form means, wherein the rigid inner form means and rigid outer form means are interconnected by at least one form tie means wherein the rigid inner form means and the rigid outer form means both have a lower edge portion; d. a connection between the plurality of longitudinal wall form assemblies and the first transverse wall form support and the second transverse wall form support such that the plurality of longitudinal wall form assemblies are raised above the ground surface; and e. a securing between edge portions of the flexible sheet form element and the lower edge portions of the rigid inner form means and the rigid outer form means, wherein the plurality of longitudinal wall form assemblies at least partially support the flexible sheet form element, a portion of the flexible sheet form element also rests on the ground surface to form a U-shape.
