Claim:
An apparatus for forming and constructing a lintel over an opening in concrete or block constructions, the opening defined between a first wall construction and a second wall construction, said apparatus comprising: first and second elongate form members; said first and second form members each including a generally planar vertical side wall having inner and outer surfaces terminating in opposing ends, each of said side walls including top and bottom support legs each projecting in an inward direction generally perpendicular to the corresponding side wall and extending substantially the entire length between said opposing ends; said first and second form members each including an outwardly projecting stiffener extending substantially between said opposing ends; means for removably securing said first and second form members with said inner surfaces generally disposed in face-to-face relation spanning the opening defined between the first and second wall constructions; an elongate bottom form member sized for insertion between said first and second form members, said bottom form member supported by the inward projecting bottom support legs of said form members and substantially spanning the opening; and said first and second form members and said bottom form defining a lintel forming cavity whereby a flowable concrete received and contained therein cures thereby forming a lintel.
