Alignment clamp and tie rod connector assembly for formwork panels

A connector assembly for connecting and aligning a pair of formwork panels with each other, the connector assembly comprising:

• an alignment clamp sub-assembly adapted to be mounted on a joint between a first formwork panel and a second formwork panel, the alignment clamp sub-assembly comprising:
• a base component to be disposed on the joint, wherein the alignment clamp sub-assembly comprising a claw-shaped portion formed on the base component and adapted to engage the base component on the joint, and wherein the base component comprising:
• a first slot adapted to receive a wedge in a vertical direction;
• a second slot adapted to receive a tie rod in a lateral direction;
• a first part adapted to be disposed adjacent to the joint formed by the pair of formwork panels, the first part comprising a first arm;
• and
• a second part coupled with the first part such that the second part is adapted to slide over the first part, the second part comprising a second arm, wherein the second part is adapted to move with respect to the first part for locking the alignment clamp sub-assembly such that;
• the first arm and the second arm form the claw shaped portion to engage with the joint;
• the first slot is formed to receive the wedge;
• and
• the second slot is formed to receive the tic rod;
• and
• a tie rod sub-assembly adapted to be disposed on the alignment clamp sub-assembly, the tie rod sub-assembly comprising:
• the tie rod having a first end and a second end distal to the first end, wherein the tie rod is adapted to be inserted in the second slot of the base component through the first end;
• and
• a counter plate formed on the second end and adapted to move the tie rod to lock the connector assembly for connecting and aligning the pair of formwork panels, when the tie rod is received through the second slot of the base component.
