Abstract
An elastic clamp is for coupling props to beams. The clamp includes a minimum of two elastic wings able to hold and exert pressure on opposite lateral faces of the beam to be supported by the prop. The clamp allows the prop to be retained in a place selected along the beam to be supported, and prevents the prop from falling and rotating sideways.
Claims13
An elastic clamp for coupling a prop to a beam comprising:
- at least two elastic wings able to hold and exert pressure on opposite lateral faces of the beam to be supported by the prop, to allow the prop to be retained in a place selected along the beam to be supported, and to prevent the prop from falling and rotating sideways, and
- a lower loop,
- wherein each elastic wing is terminated in a folded free end at one end and the at least two elastic wings are connected by the lower loop at other end, and
- the folded free end and the lower loop are configured to couple to the prop by inserting a top plate of the prop into the lower loop of the clamp and the folded free ends into respective holes of the top plate of the prop.

A prop for supporting a beam comprising:
- a post having a lower supporting surface, a height of said post being adjustable,
- a plate fixed on an upper end of the post, and
- an elastic clamp incorporated on the upper end of the post wherein the elastic clamp comprising:
- at least two elastic wings able to hold and exert pressure on opposite lateral faces of the beam to be supported by the prop, to allow the prop to be retained in a place selected along the beam to be supported, and to prevent the prop from falling and rotating sideways, and
- a lower loop,
- wherein each elastic wing is terminated in a folded free end at one end and the at least two elastic wings are connected by the lower loop at other end, and
- the folded free end and the lower loop are configured to couple to the prop.
