Claims7
A clamp assembly for a formwork system, comprising:
- a clamp, comprising:
- a first member having a first base, a first planar portion which extends outwardly from the first base along a first axis, and a first outer portion which extends from the first planar portion;
- a second member having a second base, a second planar portion which extends outwardly from the second base parallel to the first axis and a second outer portion which extends from the second planar portion;
- a release mechanism configured to transition the clamp assembly between a first position and a second position;
- a connector clip attached to both the first base and the second base,
- a pipe brace having an attachment mechanism,
- wherein the connector clip is configured to releasable couple to the attachment mechanism;
- wherein the clamp assembly, when in the first position, the first planar portion and the second planar portion are urged towards each other, along a second axis,
- wherein the clamp assembly, when in the second position, where the first planar portion and the second planar portion are urged away from each other, along the second axis, and
- wherein the first axis and the second axis are perpendicular to each other.
