Abstract: An apparatus for clamping a beam to a first end of a column is disclosed. The apparatus includes first and second clamping members positioned in opposed relation to each other. The first and second clamping members include hook portions to clamp the beam. First and second legs project downwardly from the first clamping member and the second clamping member, respectively. A notch is defined in the first leg. The notch receives the second leg. The first and second legs are received within the first end of the column such that the second leg is prevented by the column from disengaging from the notch of the first leg.

Abstract: An apparatus for clamping a beam to a column is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base securable one end of the column, first and second clamping members movably connected to the base, and a rack-and-pinion assembly for moving the clamping members between a released position and a clamped position where the clamping members are clamped to the beam.

Abstract: A beam-column clamp apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes first and second clamping members with hook like distal portions to clamp the beam. The first and second clamping members are in opposed relation to each other. A leg projects downwardly from each clamping member. The legs are received within the first end of the column and co-operate with each other to secure the first and second clamping members to the column.

Abstract: A wall is provided between a ceiling and floor, such wall comprising outer dry wall boards sandwiching a corrugated cardboard core. Supporting the wall at its upper end adjacent the ceiling is an inverted U-channel. Supporting the wall at its lower end is a support comprising two components, one of which is fastened to the floor by nailing. The other component is inserted under an edge of the first component to support the wall panel therebetween.
