Abstract:
A bracket holds a rigid or flexible tube during the pouring of a concrete slab. The bracket has a base and a housing connected to the base. The tube curves around a first tube support on the housing before passing through an opening in the bottom of the housing. The tube and any members inside the tube are cut off so they end inside the housing and are then covered by a housing cap. The base is fastened to a form for the concrete slab. The height of the housing relative to the base is adjusted to place the cap at the planned surface of the concrete slab. After the concrete slab is formed the cap is removed and the cut members inside the housing are connected to other members or devices.

Claim (Index 47):
A method of supporting a tube during the forming of a concrete slab poured on a forming surface, using a bracket having a base and a housing with a cap enclosing a top opening of the housing to hold the tube at a planned surface of the concrete slab, the tube having a curved shape between the forming surface and the planned surface which curved shape does not damage elongated members passing through the tube, the method, comprising the steps of:\n securing the tube to at least one support connected to the base; passing the tube through an opening in the bottom of the housing, the at least one support cooperating with the base and optionally the opening in the bottom of the housing to support the tube in the curved shape; cutting an end of the tube and any elongated members passing through the tube to a form a cut end or ends; putting the cap on the housing and enclosing the cut end or ends inside the housing in a space having a height of about 0.7 to about 3 inches high; and fastening the base to the forming surface, wherein a height of the base, housing and cap are at or slightly below the planned surface of the concrete slab.
