  • Publication number: 20240130528
    Abstract: A support system comprises a post comprising a first planar member defining first openings, a second planar member orthogonally attached to the first planar member defining second openings. The support system comprising a bracket removably attachable to the post and comprising first projections for engaging the first openings, second projections for engaging the second openings, wherein when the one or more first projections are engaged to the one or more first openings and the one or more second projections are engaged to the one or more second openings, movement of the bracket is restricted in the horizontal plane. The bracket and post comprising structure for attaching braces, for support walkways and shelves and handrail structures.

  • Patent number: 9784002
    Abstract: Brackets for securing vertical strongbacks to horizontal walers secured to a face of a concrete wall form. Each bracket has a flange adapted to be mounted to an upper surface of the waler, a standoff connected to the flange and extending perpendicular to and beyond the waler to a distal end for defining a strongback-receiving pocket between the waler and the distal end for receiving the strongback. A wedge is operatively coupled to the distal end for pinching the strongback between the wedge and the waler for securing the strongback to the waler.

  • Publication number: 20070175155
    Abstract: The invention provides a form for use in a concrete wall forming system to define wall sections meeting an intersection region. The form comprises: panels arranged in a spaced relationship to each other to define there between a volume for each wall section and an intersection volume for the intersection region; and a series of ties forming a stack of ties. Each tie has an exterior frame having at least three sides, corners where two adjacent sides meet and a web member spanning generally across an interior volume within the frame. Each tie is located in the intersection region with two sides spanning between opposing sides of opposing panels and has each corner embedded within a panel. The form may be insulated.

  • Publication number: 20050223669
    Abstract: A concrete form system comprising a reversibly stackable insulating form blocks each block having a pair of panels separated by two or more ties. Each of the top, bottom and side edges of the panels includes either a tongue or groove so as to engage a corresponding tongue or groove of a panel of another block stacked vertically or horizontally adjacent thereto. The panels of each block are arranged in opposite orientation to each other so as to enable the block to be stackable in either an upside-down or right-side-up orientation.
