Problems solved by technology

While systems that pour concrete into vertical forms have been successful in creating decorative patterns on both sides of the vertical concrete panel, the forms used to create such panels have had several operational problems.
For example, the forms are quite expensive to make because they must be made of a material that i) won't adhere to the cured concrete, ii) won't deform to a great extent under the weight of uncured concrete, and iii) is sufficiently pliable so as to be easily removable from the pattern created in the cure...

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein, and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0019] Illustrated in FIG. 1 is an example of a form, shown generally at 10, for creating a pattern in uncured concrete during a casting process in accordance with one aspect of the invention described herein. As discussed in greater detail below, the form 10 can be used in conjunction with other forms, such as end wall forms and retaining structure, to form concrete panels (e.g., 11 in FIG. 4) that can be used...

Abstract

A form for creating a pattern in uncured concrete during a casting process includes a support frame and a perforated reinforcing structure coupled adjacent to at least a portion of the support frame. The perforated reinforcing structure includes a plurality of apertures defined therein. A pliable liner is disposed at least partially within the plurality of apertures and at least partially about the perforated reinforcing structure adjacent the support structure. The pliable liner has a patterned surface formed thereon for creating a corresponding pattern in uncured concrete poured adjacent the form.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to a liner system for use in forming concrete panels used in concrete fences, walls and related structure. [0003] 2. Related Art [0004] Vertically oriented concrete panels have been used for a number of years in applications including concrete fences, sound walls, partitions, etc. Concrete panels are often poured and cured in a central manufacturing area and shipped as cured panels to job sites, where the panels can be assembled into a fence or similar structure. It is often desirable to apply a textured, decorative finish to such concrete panels to enhance the appearance of the panels. Decorative finishes such as pseudo-brick finishes, pseudo-rock wall finishes, etc., give the concrete panels a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and in some cases, such as in sound wall applications, can increase the effectiveness of the concrete panels. [0005] One type of system develope...
