Forming grid panel attaching mechanism

Abstract

The invention is the interior face attaching mechanisms of a plastic injection molded flow-through grid forming grid panel that is used as a form for concrete/cementitious material. A “T” or nub catch is formed by the plastic injection mold halve sections at the outer ends of interior face extended vertical grids such that during a concrete/cementitious pour the “T” or nub catch, and attached forming panel connecter tie or webs, does not unduly block the flow of the concrete/cementitious material from flowing through the grid openings. The “T” or nub catch enables forming panel tie or web connecters to slide down vertically along the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel and downward attach to the “T” or nub catch.

Claims

1-7. (canceled)

8. Interior face attaching mechanisms of a of a manufactured plastic injection molded concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel, comprising: a. concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel, wherein a concrete/cementitious material flow-through forming panel is part of a cavity forming concrete/cementitious form where the concrete/cementitious flow-through forming panel has a lattice or grid framework of vertically and horizontally oriented grids, where during a concrete/cementitious material pour the flowable concrete/cementitious material flows non-restrictively through the lattice or grid openings and beyond the exterior surface of the flow-through grid forming panel grids, the exterior surface being that surface of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel that is opposing the concrete/cementitious forming cavity, creating an external surface layer on the concrete/cementitious flow-through grid forming panel; and b. concrete/cementitious forming panel connecter ties or webs, wherein in concrete/cementitious forming there are connection units, panel connecter ties or webs, customarily connecting a concrete/cementitious forming panel to another concrete/cementitious forming panel, maintaining a cavity formed between spaced apart parallel oriented concrete/cementitious forms; and c. the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel interior face, wherein when concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panels create a forming cavity the sides of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel facing the pour cavity are the interior faces of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel; and d. the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel exterior face, wherein when concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panels create a forming cavity the sides of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel facing opposite or away from the pour cavity are the exterior faces of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel; and e. the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel is plastic injection mold manufactured; and f. plastic injection molding mold sections or halves, wherein melted plastic is forced at high pressure into a plastic injection mold composed primarily of mold sections or halves that form the shape of the plastic part, and then when the plastic part solidifies the formed plastic part it is then released and ejected from the plastic injection mold by the separation of the mold sections or halves of the plastic injection mold; and g. vertically oriented extended grids, wherein the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel has periodically placed rows of vertically oriented grids that extend out from the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel and that are produced when the concrete/cementitious flow-through grid forming panel is injection molded manufactured; and h. the outer ends of the vertically oriented extended grids; wherein the vertically oriented extended grid has an outer end being the end of the vertically oriented extended grids oriented most outward from the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel; and i. at the outer ends of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel vertically oriented extended grids a “T” style shaped catch that is formed by the plastic injection molding mold sections or halves of the plastic injection mold such that the outward side of the “T” style shaped catch, the outward side of the “T” style shaped catch is the side or face of the “T” style shaped catch facing away from the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel, is formed by one of the plastic injection molding mold section or halves, and the inward side of the “T” style shaped catch, the inward side of the “T” style shaped catch is the side or face of the “T” style shaped catch facing the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel, and is formed by the other or opposing plastic injection molding mold section or halves; and j. The “T” style shaped catch attaching shape configuration, wherein the “T” style shaped catch shall have an attaching shape configuration that extends vertically and parallel to the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel and perpendicular to the vertically oriented extended grids.

9. Interior face attaching mechanisms of a of a manufactured plastic injection molded concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel according to claim 8 wherein, the “T” style shaped catch attaching shape configuration formed at the outer ends of the vertically oriented grid extensions enable concrete/cementitious forming panel connecter ties or webs to slide down vertically along the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel allowing the concrete/cementitious forming panel connecter ties or webs to catch and attach to the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel “T” style shaped catches.
