Abstract

An external platform that translates such that planking and structural members of the platform remain level and maintain a constant working surface area at the beginning, during, and end of the translation movement.

• E04G 17/00 - Connecting or other auxiliary members for forms, falsework structures, or shutterings
• E04G 11/28 - Climbing forms, i.e. forms which are not in contact with the poured concrete during lifting from layer to layer
• E04G 11/34 - Horizontally-travelling moulds for making walls blockwise or sectionwise
• E04G 17/18 - Devices for suspending or anchoring form elements to girders placed in ceilings, e.g. hangers

Abstract

A formwork assembly including a plurality of formwork elements defining a concrete-receiving space, at least one of the plurality of formwork elements comprising a first panel, at least one support waler configured to receive at least one vertical fixation element and comprising a second panel, a horizontal fixation element configured to engage with the first panel and the second panel such that rotation of the horizontal fixation element allows for the at least one vertical fixation element to be freely removed from the at least one support waler after curing of concrete in the concrete-receiving space.

• E04G 13/02 - Falsework, forms or shutterings for particular parts of buildings, e.g. stairs, steps, cornices or balconies for columns or like pillarsSpecial tying or clamping means therefor
• E04G 17/04 - Connecting or fastening means for metallic forming or stiffening elements
• E04G 17/00 - Connecting or other auxiliary members for forms, falsework structures, or shutterings

Abstract

A waler assembly with an integrated castor attachment point that eliminates the need hinge or fold a leg during assembly/disassembly. A vertical tube assembly having an increased load allowing for greater flexibility on job sites.

Abstract

A connection assembly for formwork elements includes a counterplate, a bolt, and a bolt block. The counterplate can include a plurality of surfaces having differing heights that selectively engage with a waler during engagement or disengagement of the bolt from the formwork element. The formwork element can include a J-shaped waler that allows for easy climbing and/or hanging of objects on a site. The connection assembly can include a bolt block that removably engages a formwork element.
