  • Patent number: 11686108
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a construction column configured to extend perpendicular relative to a ground surface, a construction beam assembly configured to be positioned perpendicular relative to the construction column, and a prop head assembly configured to be fixedly connected to an upper end portion of the construction column and to support the end portion of the construction beam assembly. The prop head assembly defines first and second recesses configured to selectively receive a pin of the construction beam assembly therein.

  • Patent number: 11686109
    Abstract: A prop head assembly is configured to be fixedly connected to a vertically-extending construction column, and also configured to support a horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop head assembly is fixedly connected to the vertically-extending construction column. The prop head assembly includes a first beam-locating feature and a second beam-locating feature. The first beam-locating feature is configured to selectively receive, at least in part, a beam-reference portion. The second beam-locating feature is also configured to receive the beam-reference portion once the beam-reference portion is inadvertently displaced away from the first beam-locating feature and from the vertically-extending construction column and toward the second beam-locating feature.
