Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to the construction of swimming pools and the like and, more particularly, to a form support for supporting a disposable mold form for molding a concrete coping along the upper edge of a swimming pool.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In constructing a concrete swimming pool, the commonly followed practice is to first build the upwardly extending concrete side walls and bottom wall therefor usually as an integer and by a technique known as the gunite process. After the concrete side walls have at least partially cured, a water impervious layer, such as
tile 20, is installed over the concrete. - Once the
tile 20 has been installed, concrete coping is formed on the upper portion of the concrete sidewall, known as the bond beam. The currently preferred method of forming the concrete coping involves the use of a disposable mold form is bonded to thetile 20 for forming the. This process is described in detail in Stegmeier, U.S. Pat. No. 3,967,422, which is hereby incorporated by reference in full. - To support the disposable mold form, it is common to include a tie wire that fits through the disposable mold form and is attached to an anchor, such as a nail driven into the concrete side wall. The tie wire typically includes a weakened portion such as a notch that enables the tie wire to be broken and removed from the coping once the coping has at least partially cured.
- The problem with this approach is that the tie wire is sometimes not removed until the coping has entirely cured, at which point the coping often tends to bind to the tie wire and thereby prevent it from being removed from the coping. If a portion of the tie wire remains near the surface of the coping, the remnant will corrode and expand, which in turn spalls the surface of the coping.
- This problem has been addressed in the past with only partial success. Deason, U.S. Pat. No. 4,387,877, for example, teaches a device that is adapted to overcome this problem. The Deason device includes a continuous strip of semirigid material and an elongate support member for maintaining the strip of material in position against the upper portion of the pool wall. The continuous strip of semirigid material includes a facing surface which is positioned below the horizontal pool edge against the upper portion of the pool wall; a front form surface extending upwardly from the facing surface to form a contoured surface for temporarily supporting concrete poured above the horizontal edge onto the bond surface of the pool, the concrete forming a pool deck and coping thereof contiguous to the pool wall when set; and, a back wall surface generally opposed to the front form surface and facing the central area of the pool. The elongate support member passes through the continuous strip of semirigid material and is secured to the bond surface of the pool to maintain the continuous strip in position against the pool wall.
- While the Deason device is functional, it is expensive, requiring two molded plastic parts. It is critical that this type of product be both simple to use and also inexpensive to manufacture.
- The prior art teaches a tie wire form support. However, the prior art does not teach a tie wire that is surrounded by an elongate tube that prevents the cement coping from binding to the tie wire. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages as described in the following summary.
- The present invention teaches certain benefits in construction and use which give rise to the objectives described below.
- The present invention provides a form support for supporting a disposable mold form mounted on a bond beam for forming a cement coping. The form support includes a tie wire and an elongate tube. The tie wire has a head, an elongate midsection, and an end portion. The elongate midsection and the end portion are separated by a weakened portion. The tie wire is adapted to be positioned through the disposable form mold such that the head abuts the disposable mold form, the elongate midsection extends through the disposable mold form, and the end portion extends over the bond beam. The elongate tube is shaped to fit around the tie wire such that the elongate tube extends from the head to the vicinity of the weakened portion.
- A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a form support having advantages not taught by the prior art.
- Another objective is to provide a form support that includes a tie wire that is adapted to support the disposable mold form so that the weight of the concrete coping, once it has been poured, does not push the disposable mold form out of shape, causing the concrete coping formed to be misshapen.
- A further objective is to provide an elongate tube that prevents the hardening concrete coping from adhering to the elongate midsection of the tie wire.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
- The accompanying drawings illustrate the present invention. In such drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a disposable mold form adapted to be mounted on a bond beam of a swimming pool, and a form support used to support the disposable mold form, the form support including a tie wire and an elongate tube; -

FIG. 3 is a side elevational sectional view of the disposable mold form and the form support once a cement coping has been poured; and -
FIG. 4 is a side elevational sectional view illustrating how the tie wire is broken and removed, with the aid of the elongate tube, from the at least partially cured cement coping. - The above-described drawing figures illustrate the invention, a
form support 10 for supporting adisposable mold form 22 mounted on abond beam 14 for forming a cement coping 26 during the construction of a swimming pool. Theform support 10 includes atie wire 30 and anelongate tube 40, which are described in greater detail below -
FIG. 1 illustrates how thedisposable mold form 22 is mounted on thebond beam 14, which is formed by the upwardly extending side walls of the swimming pool. Thebond beam 14, and the entirety of the upwardly extending side walls, may be formed in any conventional manner, and ordinarily are fabricated of concrete and integral with a bottom wall (not shown). The generally vertical or upwardly extending walls are enlarged somewhat at their upper ends to form thebond beam 14 which is rather standard practice. Thebond beam 14 has anupper edge 16 and aninner face 18 or surface. Theinner face 18 has a water-impervious finish 20 secured thereto. The water-impervious finish 20 may be ceramic tile attached to theinner face 18 in any usual manner as, for example, by means of adhesive or concrete bed mud, or it may be formed with another coating known in the art. As stated hereinbefore, as respects these features and characteristics of the pool, they may be completely conventional and per se form no part of the present invention. - The
disposable mold form 22 is secured to thebond beam 14 adjacent theupper edge 16, along with a plurality of other mold forms (not shown). Thedisposable mold form 22 is preferably integral from end to end thereof, is elongated longitudinally, lightweight and may be formed of a material having myriad interstitial spaces therein as, for example, one of the synthetic plastics such as the plastic material sold under the trademark Styrofoam®. Thedisposable mold form 22 has asurface portion 24 configurated in the finished shape to be imposed thereby upon the cement coping 26 molded thereagainst, as shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 . The configuratedsurface portion 24 may have a reversely oriented, somewhat C-shaped disposition in cross section so that thecoping 26 has slightly rounded top and bottom edges; however, those skilled in the art may devise various shapes, contours, and textures so that thecoping 26 formed will be aesthetically pleasing. - The
disposable mold form 22 further has anattachment portion 28, which faces in the same direction as that of theconfigurated surface portion 24, and is adapted to be attached to thetile 20 with atape strip 29. Thetape strip 29 may be a double-sided pressure-sensitive tape adhesively secured along its other side to the finish of thebond beam 14. Thetape strip 29 may be substantially non-stretchable and, for example, might be a fiberglass tape or an adhesive transfer tape. Thedisposable mold form 22 may be fabricated in the configuration shown in any suitable manner as, for example, by being machined from elongated bar stock or, depending upon the particular material employed, might be extruded, foamed-in-place or otherwise molded. - In use of the
disposable mold form 22 and in providing the concrete coping 26 along theupper edge 16 of a swimming pool, theinner face 18 of the of thebond beam 14 is first equipped with thetile 20, as shown inFIG. 1 . Thedisposable mold form 22 is provided with atape strip 29 along theattachment portion 28, and such strip may be attached at any time (such as during production of thedisposable mold form 22, or later, at the construction site) by pressing one of the pressure-sensitive adhesive surfaces of the strip against the appropriate surface of theattachment portion 28. Thetape strip 29 could be secured to the section during manufacture, especially where adhesive transfer tapes are employed or where the opposite face of thetape strip 29 has the adhesive thereon protected by a removable cover or coating of some type. - The
disposable mold form 22 has the opposite pressure-sensitive adhesive face of thetape strip 29 pressed against thetile 20 with theconfigurated surface portion 24 of the section projecting above theupper edge 16 of the pool wall. As many of the disposable mold forms 22 are used as is necessary to provide a continuous form about the side walls of the pool, and the sections are abutted along their adjacent edges. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thetie wire 30 has ahead 32, anelongate midsection 34, and anend portion 36. Thehead 32 has a greater width or cross section than the remainder of thetie wire 30, and functions to supportingly abut thedisposable mold form 22. Thehead 32 may be formed from a bent portion of thetie wire 30 itself, as shown, or it may be provided by another component that is attached to thetie wire 30. -
FIG. 2 illustrates how thedisposable mold form 22 is pierced with thetie wire 30, which is anchored for supporting thedisposable mold form 22. Thetie wire 30 is adapted to support thedisposable mold form 22 so that the weight of the concrete coping 26, once it has been poured, does not push thedisposable mold form 22 inwardly towards the center of the swimming pool, causing the concrete coping 26 formed to be misshapen. - The
elongate midsection 34 and theend portion 36 are preferably formed by a metal wire, although other suitable materials and elongate shapes may be used, and such alternatives should be considered within the scope of the term “tie wire.” Theelongate midsection 34 and theend portion 36 are separated by a weakenedportion 38, formed by a cutting, notching, perforating, or otherwise weakening of thetie wire 30 at the appropriate location. Thetie wire 30 is adapted to be positioned through the disposable form mold, as described above, such that thehead 32 abuts thedisposable mold form 22, theelongate midsection 34 extends through and at least partially out of thedisposable mold form 22, and theend portion 36 extends over thebond beam 14. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , theform support 10 further includes anelongate tube 40 shaped to fit around thetie wire 30 such that theelongate tube 40 extends from thehead 32 to the vicinity of the weakenedportion 38. Theelongate tube 40 is preferably made of plastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene, although it could be made of any material that resists binding with concrete once it has cured. - Finally, the
form support 10 includes a means for anchoring 42 theend portion 36 of thetie wire 30. In one embodiment, the means for anchoring 42 is anail 42. Thenail 42 is driven into thebond beam 14 and theend portion 36 is wrapped around thenail 42 or otherwise fastened to it. In alternative embodiments, the means for anchoring 42 may be any suitable anchor, including screws, stakes, weights, or any other anchoring, fastening, or bonding mechanisms known in the art. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , when all of the disposable mold forms 22 are in place, a moldable mass of amorphous concrete is then spread against theconfigurated surface portion 24 of each section, as shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 , so that such configurated sections impose the desired finished shape upon the coping 26. When the concrete mass defining the coping 26 has cured, at least to the point that it is self-sustaining, thedisposable mold form 22 is ready to be stripped from its adhesive attachment to thebond beam 14. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , theform support 10 must first be removed to enable the stripping of thedisposable mold form 22. Thehead 32 of thetie wire 30 is grasped and twisted within theelongate tube 40, thereby breaking the weakenedportion 38. Theelongate tube 40 keeps theelongate midsection 34 of thetie wire 30 from contacting and bonding with theconcrete coping 26. Once broken, thehead 32 and theelongate midsection 34 of thetie wire 30, and theelongate tube 40, may be removed from the concrete coping 26 and thedisposable mold form 22, leaving thedisposable mold form 22 free to be stripped from thebond beam 14 and discarded. - While in the foregoing specification an embodiment of the invention has been set forth in considerable detail for purposes of making a complete disclosure thereof, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that numerous changes may be made in such details without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention.
