Abstract
A prop head assembly is configured to be fixedly connected to a vertically-extending construction column, and also configured to support a horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop head assembly is fixedly connected to the vertically-extending construction column. The prop head assembly includes a first beam-locating feature and a second beam-locating feature. The first beam-locating feature is configured to selectively receive, at least in part, a beam-reference portion. The second beam-locating feature is also configured to receive the beam-reference portion once the beam-reference portion is inadvertently displaced away from the first beam-locating feature and from the vertically-extending construction column and toward the second beam-locating feature.
Claims18
An end support bracket for use with a prop head assembly, comprising:
- a pair of side plates configured to be supported on a prop head assembly, the pair of side plates disposed in parallel relation and spaced laterally from one another to define a gap therebetween configured for receipt of an end of a horizontal construction beam, wherein the end of the horizontal construction beam is positioned on the prop head assembly and between the pair of side plates, and wherein the bottom of the pair of side plates contacts the prop head assembly;
- a top plate supported on the pair of side plates and configured to support an infill beam or a panel frame assembly thereon, wherein each side plate of the pair of side plates defines an opening in a front end portion thereof, an opening in each side plate of the pair of side plates being configured for positioning a cross beam at a right angle relative to the horizontal construction beam, wherein an end of the cross beam is positioned on the prop head assembly and under the opening, and the opening is configured to be contoured around the end of the cross beam;
- a first anti-tipping plate extending between the pair of side plates and having a length that extends perpendicularly relative to the top plate;
- and
- a second anti-tipping plate extending between the pair of side plates and spaced frontward of the first anti-tipping plate, wherein the first and second anti-tipping plates are together configured to contact the prop head assembly to prevent tipping of the end support bracket relative to the prop head assembly.
A construction assembly, comprising:
- an infill beam configured to support a floor component thereon;
- an end support bracket including:
- a pair of side plates configured to be supported on a prop head assembly, the pair of side plates disposed in parallel relation and spaced laterally from one another to define a gap therebetween configured for receipt of an end of a horizontal construction beam;
- and
- a top plate supported on the pair of side plates and configured to support the infill beam thereon;
- and
- a prop head assembly configured to support the end support bracket thereon.

- a first anti-tipping plate extending between the pair of side plates;
- and
- a second anti-tipping plate extending between the pair of side plates and spaced frontward of the first anti-tipping plate, wherein the first and second anti-tipping plates are together configured to prevent tipping of the end support bracket relative to the prop head assembly, wherein the second anti-tipping plate defines an aperture therein configured to receive a projection of the prop head assembly.
