An indicator for a compression post includes a leg defining an upper end and a lower end, the lower end configured to engage a support plate of the compression post; and an indicator bracket comprising a central portion coupled to the leg at the upper end and an indication portion oriented distal to the leg, the central portion defining a bend extending away from the leg such that the indication portion is laterally offset from the leg, the indicator defining a first visual indicator configured to indicate that the compression post is in either a compressed configuration or an uncompressed configuration.

The present invention relates to a support post (2) comprising at least two tubes (4, 6) telescopically in sliding connection to each other. A locking device (8) holds the tubes in a locked state and allowing relative sliding of the tubes in an unlocked state. At least one end (10) of the support post has an opening (12; 112) in connection with a surface support element (14; 114). A spring is arranged within the opening of the support post to act on the surface support element (14; 114), to resiliently affect the surface support element (14; 114) in a direction away from the open end (10) of the support post and vice versa. The locking device (8) comprises a locking ring loosely arranged on one of the tubes (4) and further comprises a first ring holding arm arranged at one end of the other tube (6); the first ring holding arm having a first recess for retaining the locking ring in loose arrangement around said tube (4) with limited movability. A lever is in engagement with the spring and arranged in a first position in an unstressed condition of the spring. The lever is arranged in a second position in a stressed condition of the spring. By moving the lever from the first position to the second position, and vice versa, resiliently affect the surface support element (14; 114) in a direction to and from the open end (10) of the support post (2). The surface support element is arranged to be installed on a floor, and the lever is a pedal.

A retainer clip for a compression post includes a retainer body defining a first lateral body end, a second lateral body end opposite the first lateral end, a retainer opening formed through the retainer body and positioned between the first and second lateral body ends, and a retainer tab extending into the retainer opening; and a substantially J-shaped ledge grip extending from the first lateral body end, the ledge grip defining a curved portion and a planar portion, the curved portion coupled to the first lateral body end, the planar portion extending from the curved portion distal to the first lateral body end, the planar portion extending beneath the retainer body.

Example aspects of a retainer clip for a compression post, a compression post for a building, and a method of adjusting a length of a compression post are disclosed. The retainer clip can comprise a retainer body defining a first lateral body end, a second lateral body end opposite the first lateral end, a retainer opening formed through the retainer body and positioned between the first and second lateral body ends, and a retainer tab extending into the retainer opening; a biasing element positioner extending from the second lateral body end, the biasing element positioner comprising a positioner end wall, the positioner end wall defining an inner surface; and a biasing element engaging the inner surface of the biasing element positioner.

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.

A partition mount system includes an integrated plunger assembly. The integrated plunger assembly is constructed and arranged to be integrated into an interior of an end of an extension pole, for example a standard telescoping extension pole. Mounting of the plunger in an interior portion of the pole in this manner provides for a sleek design that is relatively lightweight. Assuming that the pole in which the anchor is mounted is part of a telescoping pole system, the anchor and plunger do not interfere with full travel of the interior pole with respect to other poles in the telescoping system. In this manner, operation of the telescoping pole system is not inhibited by the integrated plunger assembly.
