Be it known that;I, CHARLES HAM, a citizen of the United States,and

resident of Milwaukee, in the countyof Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements n Concrete Salvage Jack-Headaof which the following. is a description, reference'bei-ng had to the accompanylng drawings, which This invention relates to improvements in concretesalvagej ack heads adapted for supportingconcrete work during construction 1 anddesigned to 'etc. v

A further objectof the invention is to permit the early. release of all form lumber.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a mechanism for con-: crete construction which is adaptedfor acking up and supporting beams, girders, floor plates, concreteforms, machinery, decking,

provide a salvage jack head which has a positive means for clamping the lifting member. 7 V

A further object of the invention isto providea salvage jack head having a key and slot connection between the head member and the other parts in order to hold the head member inany desired fixed position.

A further object of the invention is to provide a salvage jack head in which the desired vertical adjustment may be quickly attained or the parts released forremoval from the completed structure, andfurthermore, that theparts of the jack may be easily separated for'convenience in packing.

A further object of the invention-is to provide a salvage jack head-inwhich the head may be disengaged from the work inorder to permit the formilumber to be rej r leased forre-use immediately after the concrete has set.
