Abstract: An alignment clamp sub-assembly (402) for connecting and aligning a pair of formwork panels (200) with each other is disclosed. The alignment clamp sub-assembly (402) includes a base component (502) to be disposed on a joint between a first formwork panel (200-1) and a second formwork panel (200-2). The base component (502) includes a first slot (504) formed on atop surface, and a second slot (508) formed on a front surface and adapted to receive a tie rod (406) in a lateral direction. The alignment clamp sub-assembly (402) includes a wedge (512) adapted to be received in a vertical direction in the first slot (504). The wedge (512) is inserted to lock the base component (502) on the joint and form the second slot (508) for receiving the tie rod (406).

Abstract: A connector assembly (400) for connecting a pair of formwork panels (200) with each other is disclosed. The connector assembly (400) includes a base component (402) having an arm, a first opening (602) formed on the arm, and a locking portion (406) formed at an end of the arm and adapted to be removably inserted in a second opening formed by alignment of respective slots (204) of the pair of formwork panels (200). The connector assembly (400) further includes a handle component (404) adapted to be partially disposed in the base component (402) through the first opening (602) formed on the arm. The handle component (404) is adapted to be operated to rotate the arm such that the locking portion (406) is rotated within the first opening (602) to partially lock the base component (402) in the first opening (602) for connecting the pair of formwork panels (200).

Abstract: A frame (100) of a formwork panel (200) is disclosed. The frame (100) includes at least one stiffener profile (204) formed between two opposite edges (214) of the frame (100) and having a slanted profile. The at least one stiffener profile (204) includes a first edge (216-1) adjacent to a flat portion (202) of the formwork panel (200), and a second edge (216-2) distal from the first edge (216-1). A surface (218) of the at least one stiffener profile (204) is sloping outwards from the first edge (216-1) towards the second edge (216-2) to form the slanted profile.

Abstract: A compensation waler assembly (400) for connecting and aligning a pair of formwork panels (200) with each other is disclosed. The compensation waler assembly (400) includes a first bar (702-1), a second bar (702-2) disposed above the first bar (702-1), and a pair of hook sub-assemblies (704) disposed between the first bar (702-1) and the second bar (702-2). Each hook sub-assembly (704) is adapted to be engaged with one of the pair of formwork panels (200). Each hook sub-assembly (704) includes a hook-shaped portion (902) formed at one end of the hook sub-assembly (704) and adapted to be removably engaged with a slot formed in the respective formwork panel (200). The hook sub-assembly (704) further includes a distal portion (904) formed at the opposite end of the hook sub-assembly (704) and comprising a slot (706), and a locking component (708) adapted to be accommodated in the slot (706) to secure the hook sub-assembly (704) on the respective formwork panel (200).

Abstract: An air-bag in the form of an inflatable curtain has a plurality of zones each provided with vertically extending cells defined by seams. Uninflatable regions are provided, the uninflatable regions being provided with oval apertures. On deployment of the inflatable curtain, the oval apertures will distend to become circular, enabling the uninflated region effectively to stretch to moderate the tension generated between two anchoring points connected by straps to the lower edge of the air-bag.
