U.S. Pat, No. 4,325,532 Inventor: Wilhelm W. A. 0. Blank Issued: Apr. 20, 1982 In a formwork system frames are mounted between horizontal supports. The support means on the frames are offset relative to the horizontal axis so that the inversion of the frames enables the level of the upper surface thereof to be adjusted.

In an alternative embodiment the support means on the horizontal support is offset so that the adjustment can be effected by reversing the support.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,717,517 Inventor: Alex E. Halberstadt Issued: Jan. 5, 1988 A multi-story concrete building is constructed concurrently, that is, the steps for constructing the same are carried out simultaneously on different respective stories. To achieve this end, vertical formwork members for forming the columns and bearing walls for one story are erected. Then decking formwork is erected for forming a concrete slab to serve as the floor for the next story thereabove. Formwork spacers are affixed to the tops of the vertical formwork members and these spacers provide mounts, extending through the thickness of the slab to be formed, for mounting the vertical formwork members for the next story. The vertical formwork members for the next story are then erected. Fresh concrete is poured into at least the vertical fromwork members and is permitted to cure and solidify into the vertical support members for that story.
Other formwork members are erected above the next story while concrete is concurrently poured and formwork is stripped on different respective stories. The form spacers can, e.g., be channel members or, alternatively, closed-end angle members.

U.K. Patent Number GB128,832 Inventor: The Uni-Form Company Issued: Jul. 9, 1919 Casting and moulding in situ. In casting concrete floors and walls, the supporting-members for the flanged mould plates are made of channel section so that they may be reversed to form
7 mould spaces for floor beams and wall pilasters, and the flanges of the mould plates are clamped between the channels and cross-bars by bolts. The inner face or edges of the channel are flush with the inner surface of the mould plates. An arched plate clamped inside the channels in combination with flanged mould plates. Both sides of the mould may consist of the arched plates and channels. Mould plates with channel-irons riveted or welded to the edges and provided with swivelling or sliding catches to engage behind or below the channels. The edge channels are supported by the cross-bars. The flanges may be integral with the mould plates and be secured to the wall channels by clips or rest directly on the cross-bars for floors. The temporary floor supports consist of stringers, planks, and wedges; thin channels and cover-plates span the gaps between adjacent channels and mould plates respectively.
The floor rib reinforcing-bars are supported in the manner described in Specification 118,826. To ensure tight joints between the mould plates, a thin sheet of metal, paper, etc., doubled and with turned-out edges is inserted between the plates; or a single sheet provided with two curved flanges may be similarly used.
International Patent Application Number W001/69001 Inventor: William J. Thompson Published: Nov. 21, 2000 An internally threaded insert anchor for use in poured concrete floors having metal decking or wood form is described which provides setal deck or wood form, prior to the concrete being poured. Once locked into the concrete floor, the threaded insert anchor provides easy attachment for the support rods that carry the racks of utility, piping and ceiling grid systems for the building. Each threaded insert anchor is capable of accepting two different size rods or bolts with different thread cuts. The internal threaded apertures are protected from concrete intrusion during the pour by the plastic or metal sleeve. Moreover, the anchors are designed so that subsequent spraying of the ceiling with fire retardant or insulation foam will not penetrate into the threaded apertures, so as to prevent subsequent entry of the support rods.
While these concrete forms may be suitable for the purposes for which they were designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention, as hereinafter described.
