Abstract: A concrete supporting bridge overhang bracket system which can be lifted and transferred in gang fashion from a first section of a bridge after it has been formed to a subsequent section. The system includes a series of longitudinally spaced apart laterally extending overhang brackets to which concrete forms are secured. A lift bracket assembly is attachable to a pair of overhang brackets and can be clamped to the deck to support the overhang brackets and the forms from the deck so that the brackets can be disconnected from the deck. Once disassembled, the lift bracket assembly can be supported by a crane and unclamped from the deck, the crane thereafter moving the lift bracket assembly, the overhang brackets and the forms to the subsequent section. Also disclosed is a pivotably adjustable edge form which permits the outer edge of the deck to be vertically inclined irrespective of the horizontal inclination of the deck.

Abstract: Apparatus for stripping concrete forms from the undersurface of a concrete roadbed of a bridge under construction has a carriage positioned on and driven longitudinally along the upper surface of the roadbed. The carriage carries spaced apart transversely extending support beams having rack gearing which meshes with pinions carried by housings telescopically received on the support beam and having rollers for rolling on tracks on the support beams. Each support beam has two housings which may move toward and away from each other. The housings carry downwardly depending framework extending beneath the roadbed and supporting a work platform support section. The two work platform support sections associated with each carrier beam may interlock to form a continuous work platform support at each longitudinal end of the apparatus, and may separate when the housings associated with each support beam are driven away from each other to provide a clearance about the pier caps of the bridge.
