Grid form panel masonry veneer from liner

Abstract

The present invention is a masonry veneer holding form liner, primarily in pattern shapes of mortar joints surrounding an assembly of placed masonry veneers, usually attach by screws or bolts, to the exterior face of a concrete/cementitious grid flow-through forming panel. Masonry veneers are placed into the masonry veneer holding form liner spaces. When concrete/cementitious material is poured into a vertical or horizontal oriented forming cavity the concrete/cementitious material flows through the grid openings of the grid forming panel's grid openings up to the interior face of the masonry veneer and up to the interior side of the masonry veneer holding form liner. After the concrete/cementitious material hardens the mortar joint pattern holding form liner is released from the exterior of the grid form, exposing the face of the masonry veneer and the concrete/cementitious poured material now representing the mortar joint between the masonry veneers.

2. A concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid form masonry veneer holding form liner of claim 1, wherein after the poured concrete/cementitious poured material has flowed up to the interior side of the mortar joint patterned masonry veneer holding form liner, the concrete/cementitious material has hardened and the form masonry veneer holding form liner now removed said concrete/cementitious material representing the mortar joint between the masonry veneers can be so narrow that all or a portion of the masonry veneers have the appearance of dry stacked, having no mortar joint, or very narrow mortar joint.

3. A concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid form masonry veneer holding form liner of claim 1, wherein when pouring a horizontal oriented concrete/cementitious cavity surface, screws, bolts or other threaded rod style fasteners attached to grapple catches, wing nuts or other threaded style holding catches may not be required to hold the mortar joint patterned masonry veneer holding form liner attached to the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid form.
