Abstract:

A brick prefabricated pocket construction element which becomes part of a cornice of a building under construction comprising a molded form made of metal, plastic, or vinyl, that is positioned on top of a brick wall facing. The device includes a soffit pocket. The brick pocket eliminates lumber for brick pockets and reduces maintenance. The brick pocket comprises a flat backplate with screw holes adjacent the top and bottom edges. A horizontal lip or soffit flange is positioned below the screw holes adjacent the top edge of the backplate. A cover wall is spaced below the horizontal lip. The horizontal plate extends from the back plate and has a vertical face or outer wall that extends downward and is spaced from the back plate to form the brick pocket. The space between the horizontal lip and the horizontal plate forms the soffit pocket.
