Filed:

May 20, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/134045

Inventors:

Jose Andino - Miami FL, US

International Classification:

E04G 15/02

US Classification:

052085000

Abstract:

An assembly and method of forming an arch or other structure having a curved profile including a template having a guide portion formed thereon which is substantially equal in dimension and configuration to the arch being formed. An arch pattern or one more pattern segments are dimensioned and otherwise structured to assume an operative position extending along the length of the guide portion and thereby conform to the configuration thereof as well as the arch or curved profile being formed. While in the operative position, the template and the arch pattern and/or pattern segment(s) are disposed in a location corresponding to the location of the intended curved profile and are secured to a supporting framework while maintaining the intended configuration of the curved profile. Once so positioned, the template may or may not be detached from the arch pattern and/or pattern segments.

Abstract:

A framing assembly and associated method of orienting and supporting a plurality of framing studs for constructing a curved wall through the utilization of a base formed of a high strength, flexible and at least partially separable material comprising a plurality of base segments which are disposed in interconnecting relation to spaced apart outwardly extending the sidewalls disposed in substantially parallel relation to one another. The plurality of base segments are removably secured to one another but are separable when the base is disposed in an operative position defined by a curved orientation which substantially corresponds to the curved wall or like structure being formed. The operative position is further defined by the plurality of base segments disposed in overlapping engagement with one another and an innermost one of the sidewalls separated into portions are overlapped and fixed so as to shorten the longitudinal dimension thereof and stabilize the framing assembly once the correct operative position of the base has been established.
