Abstract
An apparatus includes a construction column configured to extend perpendicular relative to a ground surface, a construction beam assembly configured to be positioned perpendicular relative to the construction column, and a prop head assembly configured to be fixedly connected to an upper end portion of the construction column and to support the end portion of the construction beam assembly. The prop head assembly defines first and second recesses configured to selectively receive a pin of the construction beam assembly therein.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a construction column configured to extend perpendicular relative to a ground surface;
- a construction beam assembly configured to be positioned perpendicular relative to the construction column such that the construction beam assembly is parallel with the ground surface, the construction beam assembly having an end portion defining a channel therein, and a pin configured for receipt in the channel of the end portion;
- and
- a prop head assembly configured to be fixedly connected to an upper end portion of the construction column and to support the end portion of the construction beam assembly, the prop head assembly including:
- a first locator plate defining a first recess and a second recess, the first and second recesses being configured to selectively receive the pin of the construction beam assembly therein, the first locator plate having a hooked portion that at least partially defines the second recess, wherein when the construction beam assembly is perpendicular to the construction column and parallel with the ground surface, and the pin is in the second recess, the hooked portion is configured to extend over and above an entirety of an upper surface of the pin.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a construction column configured to extend perpendicular relative to a ground surface;
- a construction beam assembly configured to be positioned perpendicular relative to the construction column such that the construction beam assembly is parallel with the ground surface, the construction beam assembly including:
- an end portion defining first and second channels therein;
- a first pin configured for receipt in the first channel of the end portion;
- and
- a second pin configured for receipt in the second channel of the end portion;
- and
- a prop head assembly configured to be fixedly connected to an upper end portion of the construction column and to support the end portion of the construction beam assembly, the prop head assembly including:
- a first locator plate defining a first recess and a second recess therein, the first recess being configured to removably receive the first pin of the construction beam assembly in such a way that the first recess locates the first pin of the construction beam assembly at a stationary position relative to the construction column, wherein the second recess is configured to removably receive the second pin to fix the construction beam assembly to the prop head assembly.
