Abstract
A formwork panel assembly for concrete building construction has a pair of formwork panels with parallel walls, an elongate support member extending between the walls and a clamp securing the walls of the formwork panels to the support member. The support member has a substantially U--shaped cross-section with a pair of opposite sides and an opening between the opposite sides. The clamp has a pair of clamp jaws each having a first projecting portion, the support member and the parallel walls extending between the first projecting portions of the jaws, and a second projecting portion, the second portions extending into the opening between the opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section. A wedge displaces the clamp jaws relative one another to cause the first portions to exert a clamping pressure urging the pair of parallel walls against the opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section and simultaneously urging the second portions apart from one another against the opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section to counteract distortion of the opposite sides by the clamping pressure.
Description
FORMWORK PANEL, ASSEMBLIES AND CLAMP
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention [00011 The present invention relates to formwork panel assemblies for use in casting concrete building construction and to formwork panel clamps.
Description of the Related Art [00021 In the construction of concrete buildings, wallforms made of formwork panels secured in position by clamps are employed for the casting of walls. The formwork panels are made of boards, for example plywood boards, of rectangular shape, which are mounted in frames formed by elongate metal extrusions, and clamps secure the metal extrusions to elongate support members, for example hollow extrusions, to hold the formwork panels in position while they are employed as forms for the casting of the concrete walls.
[00031 In United States Patent No. 4.881,716, issued November 21, 1989 to Gerhard Dingler, there is disclosed a clamp or lock for securing together a pair of frame arms which form parts of formwork panels. The frame arms are each of hollow closed cross-section, and the clamp has projections which engage in corrugations in opposite sides of the frame arms to secure the frame arms together and thereby to secure the formwork panels to one another.
However, the clamp disclosed by Dingler does not provide means to counteract any excessive clamping force which may deform the opposed walls of a support member which has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross section and hollow interior. There is therefore a need for an improved clamp for use in holding formwork panels in position when there is a support member having a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section and hollow interior extending between the walls of the formwork panel.
- t BRIEF SUMMAIZY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a formwork panel assembly comprising a pair of formwork panels having parallel walls, an elongate support member extending between the vvalls of the formwork panels, and a clamp securing the walls of the formwork panels to the support member. The support member has a substantially U-shaped cross-section and the U-shaped cross-section has a pair of opposite sides and an opening between the opposite sides. The clamp comprises a pair of clamp jaws with the clamp jaws each having a first projecting portion, the support member and the parallel walls of the formwork panels extending between the first projecting portions of the jaws, and a second projecting portion, the second portions extending into the opening between the opposite sides ofthe U-shaped cross-section. A wedge displaces the clamp jaws towards one another causing the first poirtions to exert a clamping pressure urging the pair of parallel walls of the formwork panels against the opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section and simultaneously urging the second portions apart from one another to exert pressure on the opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section to counteract distortion of the opposite sides by the clamping pressure.
[0005] The opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section may have C-shaped edge portions defining T-shaped recesses and the clamping surfaces may be in clamping engagement with the C-shaped edge portions. The parallel walls of the formwork panels may have longitudinal recesses and the first projecting portions of the jaws may extend into the recesses and the parallel walls may have flat inner surfaces in the vicinity of the recesses, the inner surfaces may be in surface-to-surface clamping contact with the opposite sides of the U-shaped cross-section.

-4-DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0008] Referring to the drawings, and first to Figure 1, there is shown a wallform assembly indicated generally by reference numera110. The wallform assembly 10 is comprised of a pair of opposed formwork panel assemblies 12a and 12b, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, secured together at a spacing from one another by taper ties 14. The formwork panel assemblies 12a and 12b each comprise a formwork panel indicated generally by reference numera120, elongate support members indicated generally by reference numeral 22, which extend between a pair of the formwork panels 20, and clamps indicated generally by reference numeral 24. The clamps 24 secure the formwork panels 20 to the support members 22 as best shown in Figure 2.
[0009] In other embodiments of the present invention, the formwork panel assemblies 12a and 12b further include filler panels (not shown). Filler panels are thicker and are therefore able to span widths greater than the modular widths of the formwork panels 20.
[00010] The formwork panels 20 each have, at opposite sides, parallel walls in the form of extrusions 26 which are secured to edge portions of the formwork panels 20.
The extrusions 26 along with spaced-apart transverse struts 16, which are shown in Figure 1 and extend between the extrusions 26, form frames for the formwork panels 20.
Longitudinal struts 18 extend between the transverse struts and offer additional support to the formwork panels.
In the present embodiment of the invention, the formwork panels 20 are plywood sheets.
However, other known materials, e.g. a steel sheet, may be used as the panels.
[00011] The extrusions 26, one of which is best shown in Figure 3A, have at opposite sides of the extrusions 26 an inner surface 30 and outer surface 32. The inner surface 30 is interrupted by longitudinal recess in the form of an indentation 34 extending longitudinally of the exterior of the extrusion 26. The outer surface 32 is a flat outer surface in the vicinity of the indentation 34, the outer surfaces 32 at the opposite sides of the extrusion 26 being in
[0008] Referring to the drawings, and first to Figure 1, there is shown a wallform assembly indicated generally by reference numera110. The wallform assembly 10 is comprised of a pair of opposed formwork panel assemblies 12a and 12b, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, secured together at a spacing from one another by taper ties 14. The formwork panel assemblies 12a and 12b each comprise a formwork panel indicated generally by reference numera120, elongate support members indicated generally by reference numeral 22, which extend between a pair of the formwork panels 20, and clamps indicated generally by reference numeral 24. The clamps 24 secure the formwork panels 20 to the support members 22 as best shown in Figure 2.
[0009] In other embodiments of the present invention, the formwork panel assemblies 12a and 12b further include filler panels (not shown). Filler panels are thicker and are therefore able to span widths greater than the modular widths of the formwork panels 20.
[00010] The formwork panels 20 each have, at opposite sides, parallel walls in the form of extrusions 26 which are secured to edge portions of the formwork panels 20.
The extrusions 26 along with spaced-apart transverse struts 16, which are shown in Figure 1 and extend between the extrusions 26, form frames for the formwork panels 20.
Longitudinal struts 18 extend between the transverse struts and offer additional support to the formwork panels.
In the present embodiment of the invention, the formwork panels 20 are plywood sheets.
However, other known materials, e.g. a steel sheet, may be used as the panels.
[00011] The extrusions 26, one of which is best shown in Figure 3A, have at opposite sides of the extrusions 26 an inner surface 30 and outer surface 32. The inner surface 30 is interrupted by longitudinal recess in the form of an indentation 34 extending longitudinally of the exterior of the extrusion 26. The outer surface 32 is a flat outer surface in the vicinity of the indentation 34, the outer surfaces 32 at the opposite sides of the extrusion 26 being in
-5-surface-to-surface clamping contact with an adjacent side of the support member 22. Each extrusion 26 also has, at opposite edges of the extrusion 26, laterally projecting, longitudinal edge portions in the form of laterally projecting portions in the form of first projecting portions 36 and second projecting portions 38 extending longitudinally of the extrusion 26 and at right angles to the extrusion 26. There is a shoulder 39 near the first projecting portion 36 for supporting engagement with one of the formwork panels 20.
[00012] An alternate embodiment of the extrusion, indicated by reference numeral 26.1, is shown in Figure 3B, wherein like parts have been given like numerals with the additional designation ".1". The extrusion 26.1 of Figure 3B is similar to the extrusion 26 of Figure 3A
but further includes a flange 40 extending longitudinally of the extrusion 26.1 and at right angle to the extrusion 26.1. The flange 40 forms the shoulder 39.1 for supporting a filler panel 20.1. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the extrusions 26 and 26.1 may be dimensioned to accommodate formwork panels 20 and 20.1 of different thicknesses in a manner such that the formwork panels are flush with first end portions 36 and 36.1, as shown ui Figures 3A and 3B.
[00013] The elongate support members 22, one of which is shown in cross-section in Figure 4, each comprise a beam or channel member which has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section with a hollow interior 23 defmed by a pair of spaced-apart opposed sides or walls 42 and 44 and an intermediate wall 46 extending between the opposed walls 42 and 44.
The intermediate wall 46 has an outer surface 48 which, in the formwork assembly 10, as viewed in Figure 2, is flush with upper surfaces 49 of the adjacent formwork panel 20. The opposed walls 42 and 44 extend at right angles to the intermediate wall 46 to defme an opening 50 between edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44.
The edge portions 52a and 52b are of a C-shaped cross-section defming T-shaped recesses, indicated generally by reference numerals 54a and 54b, which, as viewed in Figure 2, are downwardly open, with openings facing away from the formwork panels 20, and serve to receive wedge clamps (not shown) for securing accessories, e.g. plumbing brackets, working platforms,
[00012] An alternate embodiment of the extrusion, indicated by reference numeral 26.1, is shown in Figure 3B, wherein like parts have been given like numerals with the additional designation ".1". The extrusion 26.1 of Figure 3B is similar to the extrusion 26 of Figure 3A
but further includes a flange 40 extending longitudinally of the extrusion 26.1 and at right angle to the extrusion 26.1. The flange 40 forms the shoulder 39.1 for supporting a filler panel 20.1. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the extrusions 26 and 26.1 may be dimensioned to accommodate formwork panels 20 and 20.1 of different thicknesses in a manner such that the formwork panels are flush with first end portions 36 and 36.1, as shown ui Figures 3A and 3B.
[00013] The elongate support members 22, one of which is shown in cross-section in Figure 4, each comprise a beam or channel member which has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section with a hollow interior 23 defmed by a pair of spaced-apart opposed sides or walls 42 and 44 and an intermediate wall 46 extending between the opposed walls 42 and 44.
The intermediate wall 46 has an outer surface 48 which, in the formwork assembly 10, as viewed in Figure 2, is flush with upper surfaces 49 of the adjacent formwork panel 20. The opposed walls 42 and 44 extend at right angles to the intermediate wall 46 to defme an opening 50 between edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44.
The edge portions 52a and 52b are of a C-shaped cross-section defming T-shaped recesses, indicated generally by reference numerals 54a and 54b, which, as viewed in Figure 2, are downwardly open, with openings facing away from the formwork panels 20, and serve to receive wedge clamps (not shown) for securing accessories, e.g. plumbing brackets, working platforms,
-6-splices and plates, to the support member 22. The opening 50 allows for the removal of any concrete which may seep into the support member 22 along the taper ties 14 shown in Figure 1.
[00014] The opposed walls 42 and 44 of the elongate support member 22 are formed, at their exteriors, with longitudinal recesses 58 adjacent the edge portions 52a and 52b, and with longitudinal shoulder-shaped recesses 60 adjacent opposite ends of the intermediate wal146.
As can be seen in Figure 2, the shoulder-shaped recesses 60 are engaged with the first projecting portions 36 of the extrusions 26, while the longitudinal recesses 58 are engaged with the second projecting portions 38 of the extrusions 26 which abut the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44 respectively. The flat surfaces 32 of the extrusions 26 abut the opposed walls 42 and 44 of the support member 22 opposite the longitudinal recesses 34 of the extrusions 26.
[00015] As best shown in Figure 2, each clamp 24 has a first clamp jaw indicated generally by reference numeral 64 and second clamp jaw indicated generally by reference numera166.
The clamp jaws 64 and 66 comprise first projecting portions 68a and 68b, second projecting portions 71a and 71b, and body portions 70a and 70b. The first projecting portions 68a and 68b extend past the edge portions 52a and 52b respectively of the opposed walls 42 and 44 of the support member 22, and terminate in round end portions 72a and 72b, which engage in the longitudinal recesses 34 of the corresponding extrusions 26. The body portions 70a and 70b, which in the present embodiment are each formed in one piece with the first projecting portions 68a and 68b, extend in opposite directions past the opening 50 between the opposed walls 42 and 44. The body portions 70a and 70b are each provided with formations in the form of the second projecting portions 71 a and 71 b, which extend into the opening 50 between the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44 and abut respective ones of the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b.
[00016] The second projecting portions 71 a and 71b are located between the first projecting
[00014] The opposed walls 42 and 44 of the elongate support member 22 are formed, at their exteriors, with longitudinal recesses 58 adjacent the edge portions 52a and 52b, and with longitudinal shoulder-shaped recesses 60 adjacent opposite ends of the intermediate wal146.
As can be seen in Figure 2, the shoulder-shaped recesses 60 are engaged with the first projecting portions 36 of the extrusions 26, while the longitudinal recesses 58 are engaged with the second projecting portions 38 of the extrusions 26 which abut the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44 respectively. The flat surfaces 32 of the extrusions 26 abut the opposed walls 42 and 44 of the support member 22 opposite the longitudinal recesses 34 of the extrusions 26.
[00015] As best shown in Figure 2, each clamp 24 has a first clamp jaw indicated generally by reference numeral 64 and second clamp jaw indicated generally by reference numera166.
The clamp jaws 64 and 66 comprise first projecting portions 68a and 68b, second projecting portions 71a and 71b, and body portions 70a and 70b. The first projecting portions 68a and 68b extend past the edge portions 52a and 52b respectively of the opposed walls 42 and 44 of the support member 22, and terminate in round end portions 72a and 72b, which engage in the longitudinal recesses 34 of the corresponding extrusions 26. The body portions 70a and 70b, which in the present embodiment are each formed in one piece with the first projecting portions 68a and 68b, extend in opposite directions past the opening 50 between the opposed walls 42 and 44. The body portions 70a and 70b are each provided with formations in the form of the second projecting portions 71 a and 71 b, which extend into the opening 50 between the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44 and abut respective ones of the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b.
[00016] The second projecting portions 71 a and 71b are located between the first projecting
-7-portions 68a and 68b. The first projecting portion 68a of the first clamp jaw 64 is opposed to the second projecting portion 71b of the second clamp jaw 66 to form a first clamp gap therebetween which engages the C-shaped edge portions 52b of opposed wall 44.
The first projecting portion 68b of the second clamp jaw 66 is opposed to the second projecting portion 71 a of the first clamp jaw 64 to form a second clamp gap therebetween which engages the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42.
[00017] The clamp jaws 64 and 66, which are best shown in Figures 5 and 8 respectively, further comprise recesses 75a and 75b located between flat clamping surfaces 67a and 67b ofthe first projecting portions 68a and 68b and inside edges 69a and 69b ofthe body portions 70a and 70b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66. As shown in Figure 2, recess 75a of the first clamp jaw 64 partially receives the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42, while flat clamping surface 67a of the first projecting portion 68a of the first clamp jaw 64 abuts both one side of the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42 and the surface 30 of the extrusion 26.
[00018] The inside edge 69a of the body portion 70a of the first clamp jaw 64 abuts the underside ofthe C-shaped edge portion 52a. Recess 75a allows for rotation of clamp jaw 64 about the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42 in the direction generally indicated by arrows B, thereby allowing the clamp 24 to secure the formwork panels 20 to the support members 22 despite imperfections in machining or alignment.
[00019] When the components are assembled, as shown in Figure 2, the clamping surfaces 67a and 67b urge the projecting portions 3 8 ofthe formwork panel walls or extrusions 26 into the recesses 58 in the opposed walls 42 and 44 of the support member 22, and also urge the projecting portions 36 ofthe extrusions 26 into engagement with the shoulder shaped recesses 60 of the support member 22 , thereby securing the extrusions 26 to the support member 22.
Also, as viewed in Figure 2, the undersides of the projecting portions 38 abut the tops of the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b.
The first projecting portion 68b of the second clamp jaw 66 is opposed to the second projecting portion 71 a of the first clamp jaw 64 to form a second clamp gap therebetween which engages the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42.
[00017] The clamp jaws 64 and 66, which are best shown in Figures 5 and 8 respectively, further comprise recesses 75a and 75b located between flat clamping surfaces 67a and 67b ofthe first projecting portions 68a and 68b and inside edges 69a and 69b ofthe body portions 70a and 70b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66. As shown in Figure 2, recess 75a of the first clamp jaw 64 partially receives the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42, while flat clamping surface 67a of the first projecting portion 68a of the first clamp jaw 64 abuts both one side of the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42 and the surface 30 of the extrusion 26.
[00018] The inside edge 69a of the body portion 70a of the first clamp jaw 64 abuts the underside ofthe C-shaped edge portion 52a. Recess 75a allows for rotation of clamp jaw 64 about the C-shaped edge portion 52a of opposed wall 42 in the direction generally indicated by arrows B, thereby allowing the clamp 24 to secure the formwork panels 20 to the support members 22 despite imperfections in machining or alignment.
[00019] When the components are assembled, as shown in Figure 2, the clamping surfaces 67a and 67b urge the projecting portions 3 8 ofthe formwork panel walls or extrusions 26 into the recesses 58 in the opposed walls 42 and 44 of the support member 22, and also urge the projecting portions 36 ofthe extrusions 26 into engagement with the shoulder shaped recesses 60 of the support member 22 , thereby securing the extrusions 26 to the support member 22.
Also, as viewed in Figure 2, the undersides of the projecting portions 38 abut the tops of the C-shaped edge portions 52a and 52b.
-8-[00020] Recess 75b of the second clamp jaw 66 may partially receive either the C-shaped edge portion 52b of opposed wall 44 or the body portion 70a of the first clamp jaw 64, while the flat clamping surface 67b of the first projecting portion 68b of the second clamp jaw 66 abuts both one side of the C-shaped edge portion 52b of opposed wall 44 and the second projecting portion 38 of the extrusion 26. The inside edge 69a of the body portion 70a of the first clamp jaw 64 abuts both the underside of the C-shaped edge portion 52b.
Recess 75b allows for increased movement of the second clamp jaw 66 relative to the first clamp jaw 64 in the direction generally indicated by arrows A, thereby allowing the clamp 24 to secure the formwork panels 20 to the support members 22 of varying dimensions.
[00021] Referring now to Figure 6, which shows a view of the first clamp jaw 64 taken in cross-section along the line 6 - 6 of Figure 5, the body portion 70a of clamp jaw 64 is formed with an opening 94 between opposite sides 78 and 80 and a bridge portion 82.
As can be seen from Figure 5, the bridge portion 82 extends along only a portion ofthe opposite sides 78 and 80. Figure 7 shows a view in end elevation of the clamp jaw 64 taken in the direction of arrow C of Figure 5. The body portion 70b of the second clamp jaw 66 extends through the opening 94 of the body portion 70a of the first clamp jaw 64.
[00022] The body portions 70a and 70b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66 are also formed with rectangular slots or wedge openings 74a and 74b through which a wedge 76 is inserted to cause movement of the first projecting portions 68a and 68b towards one another and movement of the second projecting portions 71a and 71b away from one another.
[00023] In use of the above-described clamp 24, and when the formwork panels have been installed on the support members 22, the clamp 24 is engaged around the support members 22 as best shown in Figure 2, and the wedge 76 is inserted into the slots 74a and 74b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66. As the wedge 76 is thus inserted, it exerts a wedging action on the clamp jaws 64 and 66, so that the round end portions 72a and 72b of the clamp jaws 64 and
Recess 75b allows for increased movement of the second clamp jaw 66 relative to the first clamp jaw 64 in the direction generally indicated by arrows A, thereby allowing the clamp 24 to secure the formwork panels 20 to the support members 22 of varying dimensions.
[00021] Referring now to Figure 6, which shows a view of the first clamp jaw 64 taken in cross-section along the line 6 - 6 of Figure 5, the body portion 70a of clamp jaw 64 is formed with an opening 94 between opposite sides 78 and 80 and a bridge portion 82.
As can be seen from Figure 5, the bridge portion 82 extends along only a portion ofthe opposite sides 78 and 80. Figure 7 shows a view in end elevation of the clamp jaw 64 taken in the direction of arrow C of Figure 5. The body portion 70b of the second clamp jaw 66 extends through the opening 94 of the body portion 70a of the first clamp jaw 64.
[00022] The body portions 70a and 70b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66 are also formed with rectangular slots or wedge openings 74a and 74b through which a wedge 76 is inserted to cause movement of the first projecting portions 68a and 68b towards one another and movement of the second projecting portions 71a and 71b away from one another.
[00023] In use of the above-described clamp 24, and when the formwork panels have been installed on the support members 22, the clamp 24 is engaged around the support members 22 as best shown in Figure 2, and the wedge 76 is inserted into the slots 74a and 74b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66. As the wedge 76 is thus inserted, it exerts a wedging action on the clamp jaws 64 and 66, so that the round end portions 72a and 72b of the clamp jaws 64 and
-9-66, engaged in the longitudinal recesses 34 in the corresponding extrusions 26, press against the extrusions 26, and thereby clamp the formwork panels 20, which are attached by screws (not shown) to the extrusions 26, to the support members 22. At the same time, flat clamping surfaces 73a and 73b of the second projecting portions 71a and 71b are pressed against the edge portions 52a and 52b of the opposed walls 42 and 44 so as to urge the opposed walls apart from one another and thereby to counteract the effect of forces from the clamp jaws 64 and 66 urging the opposed walls 42 and 44 together.
[00024] The flat clamping surfaces 67a and 67b of the first projecting portions 68a and 68b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66 resist forces resulting from the pressure of the concrete acting on the formwork assemblies 12a and 12b, which tend to urge the opposed walls 42 and 44 away from each other.
[00025] Referring now to Figure 11, a formwork panel assembly is shown according to a second embodiment of the invention where parts which correspond to those of Figure 2 and which therefore have been given like reference numerals with the additional numerical suffix ".2". In the formwork panel assembly of Figure 11, first projecting portions 36.2 and second projecting portions 38.2 of parallel walls formed by extrusions 26.2 of adjacent formwork panels 20.2 abut. Support members 130 adjacent the inner surfaces 30.2 of each parallel extrusion 26.2 each have a first portion 132 of a U-shaped cross-section defined by a pair of opposed walls 134 and 136, and an intermediate wall 138 extending therebetween, and a second portion 140 of a C-shaped cross-section defining a T-shaped recess, indicated generally by reference numeral 142.
[00026] An outer surface 139 of intermediate wall 138 of the first portions 132 of the support members 130 is interrupted by longitudinal recess in the form of an indentation 144 extending longitudinally of the exterior of the intermediate walls 138. The first portion 132 of the support member 130 also have, at the opposite wall 134 remote from the second portion 140, a laterally projecting longitudinal edge portion 144, extending at a right angle
[00024] The flat clamping surfaces 67a and 67b of the first projecting portions 68a and 68b of the clamp jaws 64 and 66 resist forces resulting from the pressure of the concrete acting on the formwork assemblies 12a and 12b, which tend to urge the opposed walls 42 and 44 away from each other.
[00025] Referring now to Figure 11, a formwork panel assembly is shown according to a second embodiment of the invention where parts which correspond to those of Figure 2 and which therefore have been given like reference numerals with the additional numerical suffix ".2". In the formwork panel assembly of Figure 11, first projecting portions 36.2 and second projecting portions 38.2 of parallel walls formed by extrusions 26.2 of adjacent formwork panels 20.2 abut. Support members 130 adjacent the inner surfaces 30.2 of each parallel extrusion 26.2 each have a first portion 132 of a U-shaped cross-section defined by a pair of opposed walls 134 and 136, and an intermediate wall 138 extending therebetween, and a second portion 140 of a C-shaped cross-section defining a T-shaped recess, indicated generally by reference numeral 142.
[00026] An outer surface 139 of intermediate wall 138 of the first portions 132 of the support members 130 is interrupted by longitudinal recess in the form of an indentation 144 extending longitudinally of the exterior of the intermediate walls 138. The first portion 132 of the support member 130 also have, at the opposite wall 134 remote from the second portion 140, a laterally projecting longitudinal edge portion 144, extending at a right angle
-10-to the opposite wall 134, in surface-to-surface clamping contact with the inner surfaces 30.1 of the respective parallel extrusions 26.2. A first side 145 of the second portion 140 of the support members 130 is also in surface-to-surface contact with the respective parallel extrusions 26.2. In a more preferred embodiment of the invention, the laterally projecting edge portion 144 of the first portion 132 of the support members 130 and the first side 145 of the second portion 134 of the support members 130 are welded to the parallel extrusions 26.2.
[00027] In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 11, the support members 130 do not extend the entire length of formwork panels 20.2 but are restricted to a length of the formwork panels 20.2 where clamping pressure is applied. Where clamping pressure is not applied, the abutting parallel extrusions 26.2 of the adjacent formwork panels 20.2 may be held together by other fastening means such as a bolt 160 and nut 162 extending through corresponding openings 165 of the parallel extrusions 26.2, as shown in Figure 12. This allows for simplified construction of a wallform assemblies by removing the need for an elongate support member that extends between the formwork panels along the entire length ofthe formwork panels. This is particularly advantageous when smaller formwork panels are added to a periphery of a wallform assembly in order to construct of wallform assemblies of varying sizes.
[00028] As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, various modifications may be made in the above-described embodiment ofthe present invention within the scope ofthe appended claims.
