DAP-IT
Kind Code:
A1
DAP-IT is a new innovative method to achieve what has not been able to be accomplished in the concrete construction industry. The usual procedure to obtain what is commonly called a “dap out”, or step down in a newly placed concrete slab was to use any available material that in the majority of cases resulted in a poorly formed dap out that was unacceptable by the owner and architects. Using DAP-IT will without fail provide a clean, true recess in the concrete slab that will be a relief to, not only the owner/architects, but to the concrete finisher, who is ultimately responsible for producing a workmen like product. There is no other product in today's market that even comes close to achieving what my invention, DAP-OUT will accomplish.

Description:
DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
DAP-IT is an innovation that will revolutionize the placing of step downs, commonly called dap outs in poured in place concrete slabs.
DAP-IT is a one of a kind that will replace the haphazard method customarily used since poured in place concrete came into existence.
As shown on submitted drawings 1 through 4 , it is a simple but very effective method to achieve what has always been an albatross to builders and especially the concrete finisher, who ultimately is responsible for accomplishing the desired step down.
DAP-IT is constructed from ½″×1′×½″×⅛″ extruded aluminum as shown on submitted drawing #2.
DAP-IT is then field bent and installed to the desired configuration shown on submitted drawings # 1,3 & 4 according to job site conditions.
Having personally job fabricated and installed this product, at such time unnamed, it received many accolades from all who used it.
