Patent ID: 6845594

Claim:
A pre-manufactured joist and beam support for concrete walls to be poured utilizing a permanent, secondary non-structural material as forms essentially adjacent to the concrete, and wherein said non-structural material is capable of having receiving holes cut therein for receiving the joist support, comprised of: a. an essentially U shaped rigid member having two opposing sides and a bottom, a front side and a back side, a rigid planar member as concrete retention means attached to said U shaped rigid member on the back side so as to create a U shaped interior having two opposing sides, a bottom, and a back, and an open front side of the U shaped member opposite the back, for allowing insertion and supporting of a joist; b. concrete retention means connected to the U shaped member to allow concrete to flow flush with said retention means while preventing the concrete from flowing into the interior during pouring of the concrete; c. means for securing the U shaped member in place prior to pouring of the concrete; d. concrete anchoring means for anchoring the U shaped member to the concrete to be poured wherein said anchoring means and U shaped support essentially do not interfere with the flow of concrete being poured into the wall.
