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
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to formwork panel assemblies for use in casting concrete building construction and to formwork panel clamps.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- 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.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 4,881,716, issued Nov. 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.
- 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 walls 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 of the U-shaped cross-section. A wedge displaces the clamp jaws towards one another causing the first portions 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.
- 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.
- According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a formwork panel assembly comprising a pair of formwork panels and a clamp securing the formwork panels to an elongate support member extending between the formwork panels. The support member has opposite sides, spaced apart edge portions and a hollow interior between the opposite sides. The hollow interior is open to the exterior of the support member between the spaced apart edge portions of the opposite sides. The formwork panels have respective parallel walls at opposite sides of the support member and the walls are parallel to one another. The clamp comprises a pair of jaws and a wedge engages in wedge openings in the jaws. The jaws each having a first projecting portion at one side of the support member and abutting a respective one of the walls at the exterior of the support member, and a second projecting portion in the interior of the support member and abutting the opposite side of the support member.

FIG. 11 is a plan view, taken partly in transverse cross-section, of the clamp ofFIG. 2 in a formwork panel assembly according to another embodiment of the invention; and -
FIG. 12 is a plan view, taken partly in transverse cross-section, of one of the formwork panel assemblies ofFIG. 11 showing parallel walls of two adjacent formwork panels bolted together. - Referring to the drawings, and first to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a wallform assembly indicated generally byreference numeral 10. Thewallform assembly 10 is comprised of a pair of opposedformwork panel assemblies taper ties 14. The formwork panel assemblies 12 a and 12 b each comprise a formwork panel indicated generally byreference numeral 20, elongate support members indicated generally byreference numeral 22, which extend between a pair of theformwork panels 20, and clamps indicated generally byreference numeral 24. Theclamps 24 secure theformwork panels 20 to thesupport members 22 as best shown inFIG. 2 . - In other embodiments of the present invention, the formwork panel assemblies 12 a and 12 b 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. - The
formwork panels 20 each have, at opposite sides, parallel walls in the form ofextrusions 26 which are secured to edge portions of theformwork panels 20. Theextrusions 26 along with spaced-aparttransverse struts 16, which are shown inFIG. 1 and extend between theextrusions 26, form frames for theformwork 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, theformwork panels 20 are plywood sheets. However, other known materials, e.g. a steel sheet, may be used as the panels. - The
extrusions 26, one of which is best shown inFIG. 3A , have at opposite sides of theextrusions 26 aninner surface 30 andouter surface 32. Theinner surface 30 is interrupted by longitudinal recess in the form of anindentation 34 extending longitudinally of the exterior of theextrusion 26. Theouter surface 32 is a flat outer surface in the vicinity of theindentation 34, theouter surfaces 32 at the opposite sides of theextrusion 26 being in surface-to-surface clamping contact with an adjacent side of thesupport member 22. Eachextrusion 26 also has, at opposite edges of theextrusion 26, laterally projecting, longitudinal edge portions in the form of laterally projecting portions in the form of first projectingportions 36 and second projectingportions 38 extending longitudinally of theextrusion 26 and at right angles to theextrusion 26. There is ashoulder 39 near the first projectingportion 36 for supporting engagement with one of theformwork panels 20. - An alternate embodiment of the extrusion, indicated by reference numeral 26.1, is shown in
FIG. 3B , wherein like parts have been given like numerals with the additional designation “.1”. The extrusion 26.1 ofFIG. 3B is similar to theextrusion 26 ofFIG. 3A but further includes aflange 40 extending longitudinally of the extrusion 26.1 and at right angle to the extrusion 26.1. Theflange 40 forms the shoulder 39.1 for supporting a filler panel 20.1. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that theextrusions 26 and 26.1 may be dimensioned to accommodateformwork panels 20 and 20.1 of different thicknesses in a manner such that the formwork panels are flush withfirst end portions 36 and 36.1, as shown inFIGS. 3A and 3B . - The
elongate support members 22, one of which is shown in cross-section inFIG. 4 , each comprise a beam or channel member which has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section with ahollow interior 23 defined by a pair of spaced-apart opposed sides orwalls intermediate wall 46 extending between theopposed walls intermediate wall 46 has anouter surface 48 which, in theformwork assembly 10, as viewed inFIG. 2 , is flush withupper surfaces 49 of theadjacent formwork panel 20. Theopposed walls intermediate wall 46 to define anopening 50 betweenedge portions opposed walls edge portions reference numerals FIG. 2 , are downwardly open, with openings facing away from theformwork panels 20, and serve to receive wedge clamps (not shown) for securing accessories, e.g. plumbing brackets, working platforms, splices and plates, to thesupport member 22. Theopening 50 allows for the removal of any concrete which may seep into thesupport member 22 along the taper ties 14 shown inFIG. 1 . - The
opposed walls elongate support member 22 are formed, at their exteriors, withlongitudinal recesses 58 adjacent theedge portions recesses 60 adjacent opposite ends of theintermediate wall 46. As can be seen inFIG. 2 , the shoulder-shapedrecesses 60 are engaged with the first projectingportions 36 of theextrusions 26, while thelongitudinal recesses 58 are engaged with the second projectingportions 38 of theextrusions 26 which abut the C-shapededge portions opposed walls extrusions 26 abut theopposed walls support member 22 opposite thelongitudinal recesses 34 of theextrusions 26. - As best shown in
