Abstract:
Features for formliners to form a decorative pattern in a curable material and methods of using the same are disclosed. An improved formliner is disclosed with substantially seamlessly connecting components that reduces the need for using adhesives for interconnecting a plurality of formliners in a pattern. Further, the formliner is configured to reduce and/or substantially eliminate visible seams in order to create a more natural appearance in a finished product of the curable material.

Claim (Index 89):
A formliner for use in creating a decorative pattern in curable material, the formliner comprising:\n a cell comprising a base configured to face curable material in use; a channel connected to at least a portion of the cell at the base; and a rib system extending along the cell, the rib system comprising:\n a first wall extending upwardly from the base; \n a second wall extending from first wall substantially in parallel with an extent of the base; \n a third wall extending downwardly from the second wall toward the extent of the base; \n a fourth wall extending upwardly from the channel; and \n a fifth wall extending from fourth wall substantially in parallel with the extent of the base; and \n a sixth wall extending downwardly from the fifth wall toward the extent of the base, \n wherein the first, second, and third walls are configured to overlap the fourth, fifth, and sixth walls such that at least a portion of the third wall extends into the channel.
