Delta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2026) - Fab-Form Industries Ltd. (TSXV: FBF) ("Fab-Form®" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has published U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2026/0117535, titled "Method of Installing and Supporting a Fabric Form, and a Bracket Therefor". The newly published technology covers an advanced articulating connector bracket ("KLiP") designed to streamline how contractors support and secure fabric or tubular concrete forms.
The KLiP features a unique dual-position design. It transitions from a flat, planar position for compact storage and shipping into a rigid, L-shaped configuration for fast jobsite deployment. Built with integrated living hinge and a multi-point snap-fit locking joint, the polymer bracket pierces, clamps, and locks onto fabric column forms. This eliminates specialized framing, allowing standard dimension lumber to brace vertical column forms securely.
