Partition mount with integrated plunger assembly
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.
Mounting head with anchoring cross-member and ceiling formwork system connected thereto
A ceiling formwork system having a formwork panel which may be placed on at least one vertical support via a mounting head. The mounting head has an anchoring cross-member which in the mounted state on the vertical support is oriented transverse thereto, the length of the anchoring cross-member corresponding to at least one side length of the ceiling formwork panel to be supported, whereby the anchoring cross-member is respectively affixable at its ends to lateral edges of the ceiling formwork panel.
COLUMN BRACKET ASSEMBLY AND RELATED METHODS AND STRUCTURES
A column bracket assembly is provided. The column bracket assembly comprises a bottom base bracket and a top base bracket, each including a bracket body adapted to receive an end of support element (e.g. a wooden column) and a mounting bracket/plate pivotally coupled to the bracket body and adapted to be coupled to a structural element (e.g. a footing, pile, header, beam etc.). The column bracket assembly optionally includes mounting brackets for installing cross brace brackets and/or tension rods to the bracket bodies. A method of installing the column bracket assembly, and a method of repairing, resettling, shoring, and/or leveling a structure with the column bracket assembly are also provided, along with structures comprising the column bracket assembly.
Bearing Plate of an Integrated Construction System
Various implementations described herein are directed to a load bearing ledger fitting, a modular header beam, a perimeter safety deck, a multi-purpose bearing plate, and a mega-shore bearing plate of an integrated construction system.
PUSH-PULL PROP
A push-pull prop includes inner and outer tubes reversibly fixed to each other, a threaded bar screwed into a threaded portion of a first end of the inner tube, a fixing head including a coupling portion fixable to a first end of the outer tube and a locking portion rotationally connected to the coupling portion, so the outer tube can rotate with respect to the locking portion about a rotation axis to thread the inner tube on the threaded bar. The locking portion is rotationally connected to a first connecting element at a first surface so the prop can rotate about a first tilting axis perpendicular to the rotation axis. The threaded bar is rotationally connected to a second connecting element at a second surface, so the prop can rotate about a second tilting axis perpendicular to the rotation axis and parallel to the first tilting axis.
Connector end fitting for an integrated construction system
End fittings may be designed so that they connect to each other in more than two configurations. A first end fitting may be connected to an adjoining end fitting, removed, rotated ninety degrees and reconnected with the adjoining end fitting without jeopardizing stability of the position of each end fitting relative to the other. The first end fitting may be connected to the adjoining end fitting, removed, rotated an additional ninety degrees and reconnected with the adjoining end fitting without jeopardizing stability of the position of each end fitting relative to the other. The first end fitting may be connected to an adjoining end fitting, removed, rotated a yet further ninety degrees and reconnected with the adjoining end fitting without jeopardizing stability of the position of each end fitting relative to the other.
LEAN-TO RIGGING APPARATUS FOR SHAFT INSTALLATION
A lean-to rigging apparatus is described for installation in a shaft, such as an elevator shaft, having a wall and including at least one sill opposite the wall. The rigging apparatus includes a spanning beam, a sill support structure, a wall support member, and a hoist connector. The sill support structure on a first end of the spanning beam is designed to seat against a sill in the in the shaft while the wall support member on a second end of the spanning beam abuts against the opposite shaft wall. The sill support structure is rigidly connected to the spanning beam in a hingeless configuration and can seat against a sill in a plurality of seating positions. These seating positions allow the rigging apparatus to be positioned in a plurality of angles and therefore to be installed in shafts of different dimensions. The hoist connector is configured to allow a connection to a hoist device for hoisting various materials from one level to another within the shaft.

Column bracket assembly and related methods and structures
A column bracket assembly is provided. The column bracket assembly comprises a bottom base bracket and a top base bracket, each including a bracket body adapted to receive an end of support element (e.g. a wooden column) and a mounting bracket/plate pivotally coupled to the bracket body and adapted to be coupled to a structural element (e.g. a footing, pile, header, beam etc.). The column bracket assembly optionally includes mounting brackets for installing cross brace brackets and/or tension rods to the bracket bodies. A method of installing the column bracket assembly, and a method of repairing, resettling, shoring, and/or leveling a structure with the column bracket assembly are also provided, along with structures comprising the column bracket assembly.
RAIL END MOUNT AND METHODS OF USE
A mount comprises a base having opposed upper and lower surfaces and at least one channel on the upper surface of the base extending in a first horizontal direction. The at least one channel comprises a head-mounting feature constructed and arranged to removably retain a rail head in the first horizontal direction. At least one curtain attachment mechanism is constructed and arranged to secure a curtain, wherein the at least one curtain attachment mechanism extends in a direction that is transverse to the first horizontal direction. A socket positioned at the lower surface of the base is constructed and arranged to interface with a pole.
