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 18):
A bracket for embedding a conduit in a concrete slab that has an exterior surface when finished, comprising:\n a base having a bottom with at least one fastener opening large enough to allow a fastener to pass while inhibiting a head of the fastener from passing through the fastener opening, the base having a top opposite the bottom and a tube support having at least one of an inlet end by the bottom of the base and an outlet end by a top of the base, the tube support having a further intermediary support so a tube abutting the at least one inlet and outlet end and abutting the intermediate support curves through an angle of about 90\u00b0; a housing having a sidewall, a top with a top opening therein and a bottom with a bottom opening therein, the bottom opening being larger than a cross-sectional diameter of the tube; a removable cap configured to cover the top opening of the housing, the cap having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, the housing and cap enclosing a volume between the bottom surface of the cap and the bottom opening with a height of about 0.7 inches to 3 inches; and an elongated connector extending between and releasably connected to one of the base and the housing.
