Patent ID: 7736569

Claim:
A method for inserting a reinforcing material in a form adapted to create a concrete structure, comprising: providing a form with a predetermined shape capable of receiving a concrete material; positioning said concrete material into the form; positioning an embedding machine substantially over the form at a first end of the form, said embedding machine comprised of a plurality of rollers that are each selectively adjustable, thereby allowing the embedment roller assembly to be configured to embed reinforcing material into a variety of shaped concrete components; dispensing the reinforcing material from at least one payoff carriage, through a pair of nip rollers, and into an embedding area positioned beneath the embedding machine; utilizing an embedment roller assembly to position the reinforcing material into the concrete material at a desired depth; moving the embedding machine from the first end of the form to a second end of the form while positioning the reinforcing material into the concrete material; cutting the reinforcing material when a desired amount has been dispensed; and leveling the surface of the concrete material with a screed leveling beam.
