Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/806,659, filed Mar. 23, 2004, and co-owned by the inventor named herein.
- This invention relates to concrete formed structures and methods for making concrete formed structures, such as tabletops.
- Many homeowners are using concrete incorporated in functional features of a home such as integral sinks, drainboards, and butcher blocks. Typically, concrete structures such as tabletops and countertops are either pre-cast in a shop or built on site. Contractors who use pre-cast concrete typically pour the concrete in the shop where conditions are controlled, using special casting structures, and they have the countertop in their possession while it is curing and until it can be adequately sealed.
- Concrete structures are made of cement, lightweight aggregates, and a combination of additives. Additives such as fiber reinforcement, silica fume pozzolan, and acrylic are often used.
- Some type of reinforcement is commonly used such as structural steel, wire mesh, fiberglass, and/or fibers. Sometimes more than one type of reinforcement is used.
- After pouring the concretious material and adding the structural support, the concrete structures are cured. Next, countertops are ground, grinding off the surface with progressively finer diamond polishing stones. This achieves two important objectives, durability and beauty.
- Next, the concrete structures are sealed. The type of seal, method and number of coats of sealer is unique to each concrete installer. Some installers prefer epoxy sealers, which are preferable harder than the concrete.
- This invention relates to concrete formed structures and methods for making concrete formed structures such as tabletops. Particularly, utilizing the methods of the present invention, ornamental structures can be produced with intricate inlaid and/or engraved insignia, such as letters, designs, advertising, or other suitably attractive material. Furthermore, utilizing the methods of the present invention, ornamental structures can be produced with highly detailed features on the side surfaces of the structures, in addition to recessed or expressed relief portions.
- A mold is used having an exposed top, a wall defining the exposed top, and a floor coupled to the wall. The mold further preferably includes a depressed portion mold and a relief portion mold positioned on a bottom of the mold. The mold also preferably includes a rim mold.

- Referring now to
FIG. 1 , a perspective view of amold 10 used to produce a tabletop or other structure 60 (shown onFIG. 3 ) in the present invention is shown, themold 10 bearing aninsignia 30 on aninside wall 20 of themold 10. Theinsignia 30 is a mirror image of the desired end product insignia, because theinsignia 30 will then be legible outside themold 10. It is noted that theinsignia 30 is preferably positively formed (i.e., not an indentation in the mold 10) in order that the insignia in thestructure 60 will ultimately appear engraved. However, it is understood that theinsignia 30 could also be an indentation in themold 10, to produce a positive emblem on thestructure 60. - Because the
insignia 30 can be as detailed as a user desires, it is preferable that a relatively soft molded rubbery material is used to form themold 10 to both ease eventual withdrawal of themold 10, yet provide enough rigidity to sustain the detail level of the insignia during curing. - One preferred material for the
mold 10 that the inventor has found advantageous is a liquid mold rubber composition, such as polyurethane RTV (or “Room Temperature Vulcanizing”) mold rubber, manufactured by PolyTek Development Corporation of Easton, Pa., who provide flexible high strength rubber for making tough durable molds. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , a top view of themold 10, including adesign 40 and ajig 50 is shown. - As can be seen in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , to manufacture astructure 60, first themold 10 is provided. Next, the manufacturer places adesign 40, if desired, into thebottom 12 of themold 10, thebottom 12 filled portion of themold 10 ultimately becoming thetop 62 of thestructure 60. - A lightning bolt is shown as a
design 40, although the shape, size, color, and composition of thedesign 40 can vary widely in accordance with user preference. For instance, any type of design, such as a trademark for marketing purposes, can be employed as adesign 40, creating an effective marketing tool. - Preferred materials to create the
design 40 include, but are not limited to, acrylic, stainless steel, aluminum, brass or the like. - A
weighted jig 50 is placed on top of thedesign 40, such that thedesign 40 remains on thebottom 12 of themold 10 when theconcretious material 14 is poured into themold 10. The shape of thejig 50 may vary from that shown. Thejig 50 is provided so that theconcretious material 14 does not travel under thedesign 40, so that thedesign 40 remains apparent to viewers after themold 10 has been removed (described later). - Next, the manufacturer fills the mold 10 (not shown) with suitable
concretious material 14, such as cement, lightweight aggregates, and/or any combination of additives, as fiber reinforcement, silica fume pozzolan, acrylic, coloring materials in accordance with manufacturer preference. - Next, the manufacturer preferably gently vibrates the filled mold 10 (not shown), allowing air bubbles to escape the
concretious material 14 contained in themold 10. - Next, the manufacturer strikes off, or levels,
extra concrete material 14 from the top of the mold 10 (not shown), creating a relatively even surface that will eventually become the bottom of the structure. - Additionally, the manufacturer can place reinforcement, such as steel, within the concretious material 14 (not shown).
- Next, the manufacturer again trowels or strikes off, or levels,
extra concrete material 14 from the top of the mold 10 (not shown), creating a relatively even surface that will eventually become the bottom of the structure. - Next, the manufacturer inserts a suitable base 70 (shown on
FIG. 3 ), into the top of the concretious material (that will eventually become the bottom of the structure). Thebase 70 can vary widely, but one preferable base is a metal structure that is coupled to theconcrete material 14 by an anchor/bolt system (not shown) coupled to thebase 70 and theconcretious material 14. Also preferably, thebase 70 will have a threaded coupler (not shown) for coupling a remaining base support, such assupport 80 shown onFIG. 3 . - Next, the manufacturer allows the
concretious material 14 to cure, preferably overnight. At this point, theconcrete material 14 has dried from a wet condition to a “green” condition. At this point, the manufacture can remove themold 10 from thestructure 60. - The
structure 60 is then allowed to “rack” or dry for preferably a period of two days, dependent on the type ofconcrete material 14 employed. - At this point in the process, the
structure 60 is in a dry condition. Preferably, a slurry is used to fill in any void space that the manufacturer wishes to cover (not shown), and again thestructure 60 is allowed to sit to allow the slurry to dry. - Preferably, the
structure 60 is then polished, such as with a circular sanding device, to remove any of the concretions material that may have concealed portions of thedesign 40. - Next, a coating is applied to the
structure 60, and any excess coating is then removed if desired. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , afinished structure 60 is then produced, with aninsignia 30, adesign 40, abase 70 and asupport structure 80. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate another embodiment of thestructure 60. Thestructure 60 preferably comprises one ormore designs 40, adepressed portion 42, and arelief portion 44 within thedepressed portion 42. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , it may be seen that thestructure 60 preferably includes a lip or rim 90 within thedepressed portion 42. Therim 90 is adapted to provide support for a removably seatedglass cover 92, although other materials may be used for thecover 92, such as plexiglass or the like. Thecover 92 is preferably placed over thedepressed portion 42 and therelief portion 44 and is supported by therim 90. Alternatively, thecover 92 may be sized to cover theentire top 62 of thestructure 60, or any portion thereof. It is also within the scope of the invention to have nocover 92 at all. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , amold 100 is shown having an exposedtop 102, awall 104 defining the exposed top 102, and afloor 106 coupled to thewall 102. Themold 100 further preferably includes adepressed portion mold 42′ and arelief portion mold 44′ positioned on thebottom 112 of themold 100. Themold 100 also preferably includes arim mold 90′. - In a preferred alternative step to the use of the
jig 50, a spray adhesive is applied to thebottom surface 112 of themold 100. Next, thedesign 40 is adhered to themold 100 by the adhesive. In this way, the adhesive can either supplant or supplement the necessity for thejig 50, decreasing costs and the number of materials required. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , a perspective view of afinished structure 60, incorporating aninsignia 30, adesign 40, adepressed portion 42, arelief portion 44, acover 92, abase 70, and asupport 80 is shown. - The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Furthermore, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described. While the preferred embodiment has been described, the details may be changed without departing from the invention, which is defined by the claims.
