  • the side-pieces illustrated in Figure 6 is suitable for attachment and fixation of an elongated string-cove-pieces 240 (shown in fig. 5 ) by inserting the string-cove-piece into the adapted cutout 181 of the side-piece 180 element.
  • the side-piece 180 is suitable for being attached to a baseplate 190 (shown in fig. 7 ) of the formwork (not shown) either via assembly, via insertion or via tension between two other elements.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a cardboard formwork of a cardboard formwork for concreting a stair comprising a base-plate 190, wherein the formwork is assembled by inserting one or more cardboard pieces of the formwork into the baseplate 190 for stabilizing and supporting the cardboard formwork, the baseplate preferably being positioned at the bottom of the cardboard formwork.
  • Figure 7 illustrates a cardboard formwork comprising a plurality of cardboard support-elements 250 assembled to the base-plate, the support-elements are supporting and stabilizing the formwork during concreting.
  • Figure 7 illustrates five support-elements 250 attached to the base-plate 190, the number of support element are variable.
  • FIG. 7 furthermore illustrates the possibility of a cardboard formwork comprising through-going cardboard elements 260 attached to the side-pieces 180 and for providing an even better stabilization and support of the formwork. Only one through-going cardboard element 260 is also a possible variant of the invention.
  • the through-going cardboard elements are preferably engaging with the cardboard support-elements 250.
  • the cardboard support-elements 250 are prepared to potentially allow a plurality of through-going treaded rods 210 (shown in fig. 8 ) to interconnect reinforcement plates via a plurality of holes made in the support elements.
  • FIG. 8 shows a cardboard formwork filled with wet concrete and comprising reinforcement plates 200 being interconnected via through-going threaded rods 210.
  • the cardboard formwork illustrated in Figure 8 is a formwork comprising reinforcement plates 190 (shown in fig. 7 ) on two of the sides of the formwork, the plates possibly being made of other materials than cardboard, in Figure 8 they are made of wood.
  • the reinforcement plates are interconnected via at least one through-going threaded rod 210, the embodiment illustrated in Figure 8 is interconnected via 8 through-going threaded rods 210.
  • the number of through-going threaded rods vary depending on the size of the stair being concreted.
  • FIG. 9 shows a flow-chart of a method according to the invention for a method for forming a cardboard formwork 100 (shown in fig. 1 ) for a stair, the method comprises:
  • FIG. 10 shows a prefabricated stair 140 concreted in a cardboard formwork 100 (shown in fig. 1 ).
  • the stair illustrated is a preferred embodiment of a prefabricated stair having a plurality of steps 141, having string-coves 144 at two of the ends of the steps 141 and the steps is provided with rounded front-edges 143.
  • Figure 10 illustrate a stair suitable for being supported only at the two ends of the stair 140 when mounted in a building construction.
  • FIG. 11 shows a plurality of prefabricated stairs 140 concreted in a cardboard formwork 100 (shown in fig. 1 ).
  • the stairs illustrated is a preferred embodiment of prefabricated stairs having a plurality of steps 141, having string-coves 144 at two of the ends of the steps 141 and the steps is provided with rounded front-edges 143.
  • the invention relates to a cardboard formwork 100 for concreting a stair as shown in Figure 1 , wherein concrete is being poured into the cardboard formwork during concreting.
  • the cardboard formwork is constructed by folding and/or assembling one or more cardboard elements 110, and the one or more cardboard elements are cut with predetermined cuts 120 and/or cutouts 130.
  • the assembled cardboard element(s) facing the concrete constitute a substantial part of the formwork, the formwork being capable of supporting the prefabricated stair during the process of concreting said stair.
  • the invention lowers production time, improves the working environment due to lower weight and is more environmentally friendly because cardboard can normally be recycled more easily than wood, or metal.
  • the invention can be implemented by means of hardware, software, firmware or any combination of these.
  • the invention or some of the features thereof can also be implemented as software running on one or more data processors and/or digital signal processors.
  • the individual elements of an embodiment of the invention may be physically, functionally and logically implemented in any suitable way such as in a single unit, in a plurality of units or as part of separate functional units.
  • the invention may be implemented in a single unit, or be both physically and functionally distributed between different units and processors.
