The invention relates to a method for displacing a ceiling formwork (10) for a nearest concreting section (9), wherein first (11) and second (12) supporting devices for supporting the ceiling formwork (10) are arranged below the nearest concreting section (9). Said supporting devices each have a shuttering position (EP) and a stripping position (AP), wherein the ceiling formwork is raised to a concreting level in the shuttering position (EP) and lowered relative to the concreting level in the stripping position (AP). The first supporting device (11) is moved into the stripping position and the second supporting device is moved into the shuttering position, and a collision protection element (15, 15) is arranged between the second supporting device (12) and an end face (17, 17) of the ceiling formwork (10) when the end face (17, 17) of the ceiling formwork (10) strikes the second supporting device (12) after passing over the first supporting device (11), so that the collision protection element (15, 15) forms a flank (15a) rising in the displacement direction (VR) for guiding the ceiling formwork (10) in the displacement direction (VR). The end face (17, 17) of the ceiling formwork (10) is then liftedguided by the collision protection element (15, 15)to the concreting level so that the ceiling formwork (10) passes over the second supporting device (12).

The invention relates to a supporting device (14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15) for the construction industry. Said device has a fixing element (14a, 15a) which rests against a side wall (2a) and is fixed at a fixing point (FP) of the side wall (2a). Said device also has a cantilever (14b1, 14b2, 14c; 15b1, 15b2, 15c-15e) which is connected to the fixing element (14a, 15a) and, when the fixing element (14a, 15a) is in the fixed state, projects from the side wall (2a) such that a load element (10) can rest against a bearing point (AP) of a bearing element (14b1, 14b2; 15b1, 15b2) of the cantilever. The load element (10) can now be displaced in a displacement direction (VR) substantially parallel to the side wall (2a) relative to the cantilever and, when the load element (10) rests against the bearing element of the cantilever, the cantilever is coupled to the load element (10) such that a displacement force component acts on the cantilever in the displacement direction (VR) when the load element (10) is displaced, said displacement force component resulting in a torque on the cantilever. The device also comprises an anti-rotation element (16, 16, 17, 17) which is connected to the cantilever. When the load element (10) is displaced, another end of the anti-rotation element should rest against the side wall (2a) in order to counteract the torque.

Anchoring system for formwork struts comprising a male element with a seat for joining the head of a strut and at least one pin, the seat and the pin being configured so that when in use, the pin is perpendicular to the plane containing the two struts to be anchored together, the pin having a protuberance at the end, as well as a female element comprising a bar with a flat surface, said flat surface comprising a slot perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the bar, with a width smaller than that of the protuberance and at least one portion with a width larger than that of the pin, comprising an opening for the introduction of the pin in the slot in a position, such that when in use, the opening is located in a position lower than the slot and the pin is fastened in an upper area of the slot.

An apparatus for use in construction to assist in the support of suspended concrete during at least a curing phase of the concrete. The apparatus comprising: a base member, a support member coupled to the base member and moveable relative to the base member between a first relative position (first position) and a second relative position (second position), a biasing mechanism operatively coupled to the support member to bias the support member toward the second position, and a preloading mechanism operatively coupled to the support member to releasably lock the support member in a preloaded position relative to the base member at or proximal to the first position.

A formwork system for supporting forming panels to form a horizontal concrete surface. The system includes a height-adjustable support having a central upstanding member providing a vertical abutment surface and a support arm having an inclined portion extending up and away from said central upstanding member. The system also includes a beam having a transverse bar proximate an end. The transverse bar is supported by the inclined portion of the support arm so that said transverse bar moves laterally relative to the inclined portion as the support arm is moved vertically. The beam also has a foot extending from the end of the beam and abutting the abutment surface. The abutment surface opposes lateral movement of the beam relative to the upstanding member.

A system for laterally supporting a vertical shoring post is provided. The system includes a head and a jaw assembly, the jaw assembly movably mounted to the head, the head configured for selective engagement with a shoring post, and the jaw assembly configured for engagement with a beam that provides lateral support to the shoring post. The head comprises first and second arms that extend in the same general direction and when engaging the shoring post the first and second arms are disposed upon opposite sides of the shoring post. The jaw assembly includes a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, the moving member pivotably connected to the fixed jaw, wherein the fixed jaw and movable jaws are configured to receive an end of the beam therebetween.
