Abstract

A form corner clip and method for making and using the same. A form corner clip is formed having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is a latch to attach to a projection on a first form panel and the second portion, which is immovably attached to the first portion, has a projection that can be engaged by a latch on the second form panel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A corner clip for holding a first form panel having a first inner edge edgewise perpendicular to a second form panel having a second inner edge, the first form panel having a first attachment projection and the second form panel having a first attachment latch, the first inner edge of the first form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the first form panel and the second inner edge of the second form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the second form panel, the corner clip comprising: 
 a first portion adapted to attach to the first attachment projection; and    a second portion immovably attached to the first portion and adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.    
   
   
       2 . The corner clip of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion includes a second attachment latch.  
   
   
       3 . The corner clip of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion includes a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the first form panel.  
   
   
       4 . The corner clip of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion includes a second attachment projection adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.  
   
   
       5 . The corner clip of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion includes a corner surface support portion that makes surface contact with the edge surfaces of the first and second form panels.  
   
   
       6 . The corner clip of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion includes a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the second form panel.  
   
   
       7 . A structure for containing a curable fluid while it cures, the structure comprising: 
 a first form panel having a first inner edge and a first attachment projection, the first inner edge of the first form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the first form panel;    a second form panel having a second inner edge and a first attachment latch, the second inner edge of the second form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the second form panel; and    a corner clip comprising:    a first portion adapted to attach to the first attachment projection; and    a second portion immovably attached to the first portion and adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.    
   
   
       8 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the first portion of the corner clip includes a second attachment latch.  
   
   
       9 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the first portion of the corner clip includes a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the first form panel.  
   
   
       10 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the second portion of the corner clip includes a second attachment projection adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.  
   
   
       11 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the second portion of the corner clip includes a corner surface support portion that makes surface contact with the edge surfaces of the first and second form panels.  
   
   
       12 . The structure of  claim 7 , wherein the second portion of the corner clip includes a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the second form panel.  
   
   
       13 . A method for making a corner clip for holding a first form panel having a first inner edge edgewise perpendicular to a second form panel having a second inner edge, the first form panel having a first attachment projection and the second form panel having a first attachment latch, the first inner edge of the first form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the first form panel and the second inner edge of the second form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the second form panel, the method comprising the steps of: 
 a) forming a first portion of the corner clip adapted to attach to the first attachment projection; and    b) forming a second portion of the corner clip that is immovably attached to the first portion and adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein step a) includes forming the first portion of the corner clip from a piece of material, and step b) includes the step of forming the second portion of the corner clip from the same piece of material.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first portion includes a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the first form panel.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the second portion includes a second attachment projection adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the second portion includes a corner surface support portion that makes surface contact with the edge surfaces of the first and second form panels.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the second portion includes a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the second form panel.  
   
   
       19 . A method for containing a curable fluid while it cures, the method comprising the steps of: 
 a) forming a first form panel having a first inner edge and a first attachment projection, the first inner edge of the first form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the first form panel;    b) forming a second form panel having a second inner edge and a first attachment latch, the second inner edge of the second form panel being adjacent an inner form surface and an edge surface of the second form panel;    c) forming a corner clip including a first portion adapted to attach to the first attachment projection, and a second portion immovably attached to the first portion and adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch; and    d) attaching the corner clip to the first and second form panels.    
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein step c) includes forming a second attachment latch.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein step c) includes forming a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the first form panel.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein step c) includes forming a second attachment projection adapted to be attached to the first attachment latch.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein step c) includes forming a corner surface support portion that makes surface contact with the edge surfaces of the first and second form panels.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein step c) includes forming a corner surface support portion that makes line contact with the edge surface of the second form panel.
