System of forming with exterior applied finish panels

摘要

A system used to form poured walls or structures with a finished surface which may be smooth, various pattern surfaces such as brick or stone or applying thin material, such as thin brick and thin stone, using exterior applied finish panels which are attached by attaching means, grapple catches, to the exterior face of a concrete/cementous material flow through lattice grid form as one or both forming surfaces in a concrete/cementous pour. When the forms are poured concrete/cementous material flows through the lattice grid panel and flows up to the interior forming face of the exterior applied finish panel. When the concrete hardens to the desired stiffness the exterior applied finish panel is removed the pattern or thin material remains on the exterior formed face and where the thin material holding gaskets were located now represent the thin material surrounding concrete/cementous material mortar joints.

1. A system of forming a concrete/cementous material structures with a surface finish comprising the steps of:
a. assembling concrete forms, wherein at least one of the forming panels or surfaces is a lattice grid forming panel having a plurality of openings there through, and an opposing forming surfaces, which may be a lattice grid forming panel(s) and a plurality of connecting or spacing members securing or separating said first lattice grid form to another forming surface(s)in a spaced relationship such that a cavity is formed between said first lattice grid panel and another forming surface(s) for receiving flowable concrete/cementous material mixture therein, and; b. an exterior applied finish panel, wherein an exterior applied finish panel that may be made of wood, wood composites, plywood, elastomeric urethane rubber, plastic, polystyrene or polypropylene foam and/or fiberglass depending on the pattern, the number of times that the exterior applied finish panel can be used and the application, and the interior forming face of the exterior applied finish panel may have a smooth face, brick, rock, stone forming face, or other forming pattern. c. a grapple catch, wherein grapple catches, with an attached bolt or screw into the grapple catch bolt or screw attaching circular insert, is pushed through formed or drilled holes in the exterior applied finish panel or, the bolt or screw without an attached grapple catch head is first pushed through the exterior applied finish panel made holes and then the grapple catch head is attached, and; the grapple catch is then pushed through the grid opening of the lattice grid panel with the grapple catch arms then expanding out to catch the interior edge of the lattice grid panel grid, holding the exterior applied finish panel to the exterior face of the lattice grid panel, and; d. grapple catch bolt or screw length, wherein the length of the bolt or screw attached into the circular insert of the grapple catch head determines the needed thickness of concrete/cementous material between the interior finish forming face of the exterior applied finish panel and the exterior face of the lattice grid panel, and; e. introducing said flowable concrete into said cavity, wherein said flowable concrete fills said cavity non-restrictively through and around connecting members/spacers, and extends through said grid openings through the lattice framework panel(s) such that said flowable concrete extends beyond an external surface of the lattice panel(s) such that the concrete/cementous material substantially covers the forming face of the exterior applied finish panel, and; f. screed points, wherein there are screed points that extend out approximately ¼ to 3/1/2 inch from the lattice grid panel exterior grid face to give the forming face of the exterior applied finish panel a place to rest upon allowing a concrete layer to be formed between the exterior face of the lattice grid panels and the interior forming face of the exterior applied finish panel, and; g. removing the exterior applied finish panel from the exterior face of the lattice grid panel(s) when the concrete/cementous material has stiffened to the desired hardness, and; h. possibly performing any decorative treatment, such as stamping, matting, rolling and applying any coloring or other treatment on the exterior applied finish panel formed concrete/cementous material face, and; i. allowing said flowable concrete/cementous material mixture to set, where the concrete flowing through the lattice grid panel(s), including the concrete/cementous material layer on the exterior surface of the lattice grid panel, and connecting members become a substantially monolithic structure when said flowable/cementous mixture is set and hardens dry.
