Delta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2024) - Fab-Form Industries Ltd. (TSXV: FBF) ("Fab-Form®") is pleased to announce the filing of a patent application for a new method of installing and supporting its fabric column form, Fast-Tube®. As part of this innovation, the Company has completed prototyping of a key plastic component, called "KLiP", and has initiated tooling its production mold.
The KLiP ensures the correct alignment of Fast-Tube, eliminating column wrinkling and ensuring consistent concrete coverage around reinforcement. This component will assist the global adoption of Fast-Tube® by improving its ease of use and reliability.
Fab-Form will showcase Fast-Tube® and KLiP at the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas, January 21-23, 2025. As the world's largest concrete-focused trade event, this offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with end users, dealers, distributors, and manufacturer representatives from around the globe.
"Fast-Tube® / KLiP is a great combo for forming contractors around the world," said Joey Fearn, CEO. "Our innovative products make their work so much easier."
PATENT ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
There is provided a connector for coupling a fabric form and/or tubular form to a formwork. The connector includes a first elongate member connectable to the form and a second elongate member coupled to the first elongate member. The connector has a first position which is substantially planar so to extend parallel to and pierce the form. The connector may snap-fit couple and/or clamp to the form via the first elongate member. The first elongate member is foldable on itself and/or about an end portion of the form. The connector has a second position which is L-shaped. The second elongate member in the second position cantilevers outwards from the first elongate member so as to operatively connect to a base, temporary support member and/or formwork. The first elongate member pivotally, hingedly and/or foldably couples to the second elongate member and may thereafter lock in place in the second position.
