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 36):
A bracket for embedding a flexible tube in a concrete slab that has an exterior surface when finished, comprising:\n a base having at least three feet spaced apart from each other with a bottom of each foot in substantially the same plane, each foot either having a fastener or having an opening for passage of a fastener; at least two tube supports connected to the base, each tube support offset a vertical distance and horizontal distance from each other when the feet are horizontal; a housing connected to the base, the housing having a sidewall, a generally horizontal top with a top opening therein located above the base, the housing having a bottom with a bottom opening therein which is large enough to allow the flexible tube to pass through the bottom opening; and a removable cap covering the top opening of the housing, the housing and cap enclosing a space large enough to allow a coupler to be installed by a coupling tool, the coupler installed on an end of an elongated member passing through the inside of the flexible tube, the space not exceeding a few inches in height and width.
